Chapter 490 Qu Wanwan Refuses Feng Yao
Xia Yue was equally surprised when she saw Qu Wanwan.
One of her purposes in infiltrating the Divine Palace was to find Qu Wanwan, but she didn't expect to meet her so soon!
The two looked at each other and remained silent for a few seconds.
Wu Li was clearly unaware of anything amiss, and cheerfully introduced the two to each other, "Wanwan, this is the Dongxing sister I just told you about."
"Little sister Dongxing, this is my best friend, also the princess of the Witch Kingdom, and the next Holy Maiden of the Divine Palace, Qu Wanwan."
"Hello, nice to meet you. Please take care of me." Xia Yue winked at Qu Wanwan, gesturing with her eyes.
Qu Wanwan was a smart person. She reacted quickly and replied in the same tone, both awkward and polite, "Hello."
"I don't know why, but I feel like you two get along really well, like you've known each other for a long time. Girls really do get along better with each other," Wu Li couldn't help but sigh.
Qu Wanwan twitched her lips. This time, someone's intuition was surprisingly accurate. She couldn't let Wu Li see through her disguise.
She quickly changed the subject, saying, "Is this your first time visiting the Shrine, Miss Dongxing? Is there anything you're having trouble adjusting to?"
"No, I think this place is wonderful, very big and beautiful!" Xia Yue praised sincerely.
After all, this is a divine palace, even higher in status than the imperial palace. Its area is enormous, and every decoration is magnificent.
Upon hearing this, Wu Li's eyes lit up, and he excitedly asked, "Then wouldn't you like to live here forever?"
"Uh..." Here we go again. This junior priest is unusually enthusiastic.
However, one cannot completely deny the other party's rights.
Xia Yue could only cough lightly and say vaguely, "We'll see how things go later."
Wu Li looked somewhat disappointed.
Qu Wanwan whispered, "It's their first time here. You're already thinking they'll live here forever. Don't scare them."
"Yes, yes, I acted impulsively again." Wu Li quickly adjusted his mindset.
Following that, Qu Wanwan chatted with Xia Yue for a few more minutes, mostly about trivial matters, such as what they liked to eat and whether they had any dietary restrictions.
Occasionally, Wu Li would chime in with a word or two to gain some recognition.
After saying almost everything, Qu Wanwan deliberately steered the conversation toward the "thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum".
"Aren't you going to get the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum? If you delay any longer, the treasury of the Divine Palace will close and won't open until tomorrow," Qu Wanwan reminded her loudly.
Wu Li then remembered that Dong Xing's visit to the Divine Palace was for the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
As long as he can get his hands on this thing, Dongxing will treat him differently!
"Okay, I'll go get it now. Wanwan, you continue to entertain Dongxing. Wait for me, I'll be back in an hour at most!" Wu Li quickly left.
Xia Yue and Qu Wanwan escorted the person to the door.
After making sure the person was far away, Xia Yue sighed and said with some guilt, "This Junior Sacrificial Official is a good person, but I lied to him. I'm really sorry."
"It's alright. He's just a naive guy who's been overprotected. It's better for him to be fooled and learn a lesson than to suffer a great loss later."
The priest can't protect him forever; he'll have to learn these things sooner or later.
Qu Wanwan seems to take it all in stride.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yue temporarily put the matter aside and looked at Qu Wanwan's thin face, asking with concern, "You've lost so much weight these past few days apart. What happened? Why didn't you go back?"
Qu Wanwan didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Did he come too?"
The "he" here naturally refers to Feng Yao.
Before Xia Yue could answer, Feng Yao rushed out of the house and appeared in front of Qu Wanwan like a cannonball.
But when he was half a step away from Qu Wanwan, he stopped precisely, as if afraid of hurting her.
Feng Yao stared intently at Qu Wanwan, his eyes filled with burning passion, yet he tried hard to suppress his emotions.
Finally, Feng Yao whispered, "I've come to find you."
“I saw it,” Qu Wanwan replied softly.
Xia Yue knew that the young couple, who had been separated for a long time, needed some time to talk alone, so she tactfully stepped aside, giving them enough space to talk.
Once no one else was around, Feng Yao seemed to lose control of himself. He reached out and tried to hug Qu Wanwan.
Qu Wanwan deftly dodged the attack and reminded the others, "This is the Divine Palace. I am the next Holy Maiden of the Divine Palace. I cannot have intimate contact with men."
Feng Yao stared blankly at Qu Wanwan, as if he had been hit on the head by a stone, and it took him a while to react.
He questioned, "You want to be the next Holy Maiden, but what about me? Don't you want me anymore?"
“Our fate is over. Go find another woman,” Qu Wanwan replied calmly.
But she clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palms, using the pain to keep herself calm.
Every word she said actually tore at her heart.
Feng Yao was almost driven crazy by Qu Wanwan!
"I've come all this way, and this is all you want to say? Find another woman? Who can I go to? My heart is with you, who else can I go to?" Feng Yao raised his voice.
Fortunately, the area was quite remote, and Wu Li, fearing that others would disturb Xia Yue's rest, moved everyone away.
Otherwise, shouting like that would definitely attract the guards.
Fearing that Feng Yao would make a big fuss, Qu Wanwan could only shout, "Keep your voice down, or I'll throw you in the Divine Palace Prison."
"Go ahead and arrest me, I'm not afraid! You don't want me anymore, why should I care about these things?" Feng Yao lost his temper, acting like a willful child.
Qu Wanwan was at her wits' end with this person.
She could only change the subject first, saying, "I sent you the Holy Gu. Has Aunt Feng recovered? I heard that the new emperor of Country A has ascended the throne, An Mu is dead, and you're out of trouble. Why are you still looking for me?"
“Anmu is dead, but he also destroyed the Sacred Gu. My mother’s Red Bean Gu has not yet been cured…” Feng Yao’s voice unconsciously weakened.
When Qu Wanwan heard that the Sacred Gu she had obtained at the cost of being a saintess for ten years was gone, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood!
But then I thought, what's done is done, and Feng Yao can't be blamed.
Blame it on the previous scoundrel, Emperor Anmu.
The most important thing now is to create another sacred Gu.
However, the Sacred Gu is extremely precious. A Holy Maiden can only possess one Sacred Gu, and hers was obtained in advance.
If she were to steal from the temple, she would become a sinner against the shrine, and she herself would never forgive herself.
She had to find another way.
But no matter what method she uses, she and Feng Yao are now from two different worlds and can no longer cross paths.
Thinking of this, Qu Wanwan said directly to Feng Yao, "So, you came to me to remove the Red Bean Gu? If it's for profit, why pretend to be so affectionate?"
"Wanwan, how could you think like that? Do you think I'm that kind of person? We went through so much together on Broken Soul Island, I—"
"Stop talking, Young Master Feng, there's no good ending for us." Qu Wanwan interrupted Feng Yao directly and walked towards Xia Yue.
There are some things she can only tell Xia Yue.
