Chapter 178 The Heavenly Snow Lotus Aims for Immortality (8)
Que Heyu couldn't help but suspect that the reason she couldn't act recklessly was because of the Snow Mountain Goddess. Could it be that the heavenly lightning was attracted by the goddess? He had too many questions in his mind that he wanted to answer.
Before encountering these things, he never imagined that there were so many unknown things in the world.
However, the most pressing issue was the trouble that she couldn't shake off. Que and Yu Zhen didn't know why she was targeting them. They couldn't kill her, nor could they trap her. The only saving grace was that she couldn't bring herself to kill people. Apart from using those underhanded methods, she posed no immediate threat.
It's not that we can't keep them.
His bottom line kept dropping.
Zhang Xuelian looked at him and offered a tempting offer, "If you agree to be with me, I'll get rid of all your uncles and brothers, okay?" Whether it was possible or not was not important; what mattered was whether he agreed.
A hint of mockery appeared in Que Heyu's eyes. "You think you can kill them? If you could, things wouldn't have been so peaceful lately."
He thought she couldn't kill anyone, but the reality was that she could, but the consequences wouldn't be proportional to the effort. If what she could gain was more important than the karmic retribution, she might as well take action.
It just seems he can't afford the price.
Of course, Zhang Xuelian didn't need him to be able to afford it. "You guessed wrong this time. It's not that I can't kill, it's just that I consider whether it's worth the price to kill. So, Ayu, don't always provoke me, because the price is something you can't afford." She reached out to touch his face, but Que Heyu grabbed her hand.
She looked incredibly soft, but only by fighting her could one realize how terrifying this body was. However, at this moment, her hands were ice-cold and had no warmth, which was probably a flaw of the stone golem.
Que Heyu secretly kept this in mind and quickly shook off her hand. "We're not that close. Don't call me Ayu. Don't you know what our relationship is?" He couldn't kill her today, but he would definitely be able to in the future. This was just a temporary measure.
Zhang Xuelian chuckled lightly, "Ayu looks really good when she's cold, and her hands are actually warm. You're the first person to hold my hand." She didn't care whether he liked it or not, whether he was happy or not; she'd say whatever she wanted, her main point being that she didn't care if he lived or died.
It's so disgusting it makes you want to vomit.
Zhang Xuelian watched as her emotional value soared, not only recovering what she had previously spent but also making a profit of 100,000. She found him even more pleasing to the eye.
As a chosen one of destiny, superior looks are merely the bare minimum. "If you're willing to be with me, I can be a little gentler, how about that?" Although it's easy to be disliked, Zhang Xuelian overestimated herself. Anyone would feel bad being looked at with such disgust and murderous intent all day long. If there were a way to kill two birds with one stone, she wouldn't be opposed to it.
However, Que Heyu sneered, "Wishful thinking." How could he possibly be with a ghost? They are not of our kind, so their hearts must be different. Besides, she has already offended him so much, why would she naively think that nothing had happened between them?
Wasn't it she who burned those goods? Wasn't it her who had people tamper with that car? And that department store—in less than half a month, she'd already caused him to lose nearly 300 million. If he could do something about her, he would have killed her long ago.
Don't tell him that you did this because you like him and want to get his attention.
Zhang Xuelian actually said that, "You've been threatening to kill me, and I did it because I was angry. If you're unhappy, I can burn down Que Hanri's entire nightclub as an apology."
"It's all his fault for encouraging me; otherwise, how would I have known that department store belonged to you?"
Que Heyu stared coldly at her, somewhat speechless. "I've seen people who are full of lies, but I've never seen anyone as twisted as you." In matters of the heart, everything is someone else's fault; she's always innocent. Admittedly, Que Hanri has problems, but why didn't he act this way before? And it wasn't because of her. As for burning down his nightclub, he wouldn't have gone so far as to do something so despicable. Those two are truly birds of a feather, sharing the same stench.
Zhang Xuelian felt annoyed because he would retort with every word she said, never giving her a kind look from beginning to end, even though her emotional points were being used up.
If she wasn't comfortable, he wouldn't be comfortable either, so she spent 20,000 emotion points to cast a freeze spell on him. "Don't you hate me? You hate monsters too, but you're destined to be entangled with me forever." With that, she bit his lip hard.
Que Heyu couldn't control his body and could only stare at her intently, his murderous intent growing stronger. He found himself wanting to kill her at all costs.
How dare she?
Zhang Xuelian didn't know how to be affectionate, so this was more of a punishment than a sign of affection. "Your mouth is much softer than your heart." She reached out and wiped the blood from his lips, a stunningly beautiful smile appearing on her face. "Isn't it good if you like me? You wouldn't have to suffer so much. You want the position of head of the Que family, and I can help you get it. Isn't that much easier than you fighting alone?"
Que Heyu just stared at her without saying a word.
At this moment, Zhang Xuelian belatedly realized, "Oh, I forgot, I cast a spell on you, you can't move." The next second, she released him from the spell.
Que Heyu quickly stepped back several paces, feeling the pain on her lips. She tried her best not to think about the sensation from before, her expression almost sinister. All sorts of harsh words came to her lips, but thinking of her mysterious and unpredictable methods, she ultimately didn't say them.
He regained his composure and said, "No need. I can get what I want through my own abilities. I don't need to rely on a woman."
Zhang Xuelian said regretfully, "That really disappoints me." But as she said this, she looked at him with even more affection. Although he had a bad temper and often threatened to beat her, he was handsome, could provide her with emotional support, and possessed a proud spirit. This made him much more interesting than those useless ordinary people.
However, just in case he actually did blow herself up with explosives, she didn't provoke him further and obediently went to rest in the room he had prepared. Although she had quite a few points now, she couldn't withstand an explosion.
After she left, Que Heyu glanced at the location of the surveillance camera and sent the part she had just mentioned to Que Hanri separately.
At this moment, Que Hanri was still furious. When he saw what Zhang Xuelian said on the surveillance video, he could hardly believe it. How could there be such a shameless person in this world? He made her do everything. When she suggested that he tamper with her car, how could she not feel even a little bit guilty?
She used to wish Que and Yu dead, but now she's involved with him again. Is she ready to be his enemy?
However, after his initial anger subsided, Que Hanri calmed down and wondered why his older brother had given him the surveillance footage. Was it meant to provoke his dissatisfaction with her? It seemed their relationship wasn't as good as he had imagined.
What angered him the most was that Zhang Xuelian knew he had ill intentions, yet she still followed him. She was truly devoted to his good older brother, and even thought about burning down his nightclub.
However, Que Heyu's attitude was a bit strange. She had already made him pay so much money, and knowing that she was an unregistered resident, it would have been easy for him to send her in. So why didn't he do it? Was it because he couldn't bear to, or because he couldn't?
Que Hanri needs to investigate this matter thoroughly, especially what he meant by what he said earlier. How could he bring her back without knowing her identity? What is her identity? Why did Que Hanri vaguely sense apprehension from those words?
Isn't it strange that his arrogant and always shrewd elder brother also has someone he's wary of?
Que Hanri looked behind him and asked, "Has the mainland still not found out her identity?"
The subordinate said, "We've checked everyone named Zhang Xuelian and compared their identities one by one, but none of them match her. Unless the name is fake, or she's an unregistered resident, it's impossible that we can't find her."
Que Hanri frowned. He hadn't expected that just her identity would stump him. Didn't this also indirectly prove that her identity was extraordinary? Recalling the strange events that had happened at the department store, he became more and more curious about this person.
How did she manage to do that? She actually forced Que Heyu to show up, take her away, and keep her by his side.
It was only at this moment that Que Hanri realized this point. "Interesting, very interesting." He was grateful that his good older brother was not interested in women and even felt disgusted with Zhang Xuelian. Otherwise, if the two of them joined forces, what chance would he have?
"Keep investigating. A person can't just appear out of nowhere. Find out exactly when and where she arrived in Hong Kong." Don't tell him that no one saw her or knows who she is.
His subordinates immediately went out to handle it. Last time they hadn't investigated thoroughly enough, but this time they were really serious.
However, they were destined to never find her. After all, Zhang Xuelian had placed the puppet in a small alley where there was no one and no surveillance. All the evidence would only show that she inexplicably came out of the alley. As for how she got in and when she got in, they couldn't find out anything.
