Qiu Yue Acting Pitiful (2)

"Younger Sister, why are you crying? I didn't even say anything about you!"

Qiu Nuo's lips curled up into a sarcastic smile.

Qiu Yue's tricks were nothing more than pretending to be a fool, pretending to be pure and innocent, and pretending to be pitiful.

But there were times when her acting was truly disgusting and revolting.

"Sister… don't be like that. I know you don't like me. I won't blame you for that. No matter how much you hate me, you'll always be my closest elder sister. I really won't blame you…"

As soon as Qiu Yue finished her sentence, complete with tears, everyone seemed to agree that Qiu Nuo was bullying her. As such, they naturally sided Qiu Yue.

"Qiu Nuo, how can you bully your sister like that? She's already speaking to you in such a humble tone and you're still trying to slander her. How can you be so evil?"

The one who spoke up first was the son of the Third Elder of the Qiu family, Qiu Sinan.

Qiu Sinan was a Level Two Warrior and was amongst the most respected figures of the younger generation of the Qiu family.

He was usually extremely protective of Qiu Yue. It was only because of Su Qingqing's presence that he had held back today.

However, he could no longer hold in it upon seeing his beloved woman being bullied.

"That's right. Why don't you take a look in the mirror? In which aspect are you better than your younger sister? Although Sister Qiu Yue is only an adopted daughter, she's amazingly talented and is the pride of the Qiu family. A piece of trash like you will only ruin our family's reputation. It was good enough that we only sent you here to Ziying Mountain to grow herbs. If I had my way, you would have been chased out of the family!" Another child of the Qiu family spoke up.

"Hurry and apologize to Sister Qiu Yue!" Lin Hao stared at Qiu Nuo in rage. This woman was slowly getting out of hand! Once he got back, he would definitely ask to back out from this marriage!

"Apologize?" Qiu Nuo smirked. "Then, I'll have to ask what I've done wrong. Do you think that you're pitiful just because you cried? Then, will she have to apologize to me if I cry too?"

There was a strange silence.

Lin Hao and Qiu Sinan wanted to help Qiu Yue but did not know how to rebuke Qiu Nuo.

Thinking about it carefully, Qiu Nuo hadn't even said anything. What mistake could they even point out?

Seeing that everyone was at a loss for words, Qiu Yue nearly stomped her feet in anger.

She had never expected that the cowardly and incompetent Qiu Nuo would one day be so quick-witted and sharp with her words.

When had she ever lost to Qiu Nuo in the past? Why did the situation seem reversed now…

"Are you guys done? You're standing in my way of practice!" Su Qingqing, who had lost her patience, finally broke the silence.

Lin Hao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Qingqing with a smile plastered on his face. "Cousin, let's head off now! I think that man isn't particularly powerful. All he did was kill a Level One spirit beast. And he even brought a useless thing with him. I think we'd better not look for him…"

"That was just a Level One beast? I thought that it was very powerful!" Su Qingqing pursed her lips in disdain, her displeasure growing as she thought about how she had acted in front of Ye Hongchen earlier.

That guy must have wanted to see her make a fool of herself! How mean! She would definitely not let him get away with it!

"Brother Lin Hao." Qiu Yue suddenly tugged on Lin Hao's sleeve, calling him in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Lin Hao turned around frustratedly. However, his heart melted when he saw her pitiful face. "Alright, Sister Yue'er. I know you feel aggrieved. Don't worry. Once we get back, I'll be sure to break off the marriage with that b*tch! I'll make her pay for this!"

"Really? I'm sure Father will object to it." Qiu Yue frowned in concern.

"Hmph!" Lin Hao snorted. "His objection means nothing. It was that b*tch, Qiu Nuo, who hooked up with another man first. I'm already being kind to her by not throwing her into a pig's pen!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yue couldn't help but sneer inwardly. Qiu Nuo, it seems like the heavens are on my side! So what if I failed yesterday? I'll see how you'll be able to survive in the Qiu family now if you can't escape the fate of an arranged marriage!

…

The situation had reached a standstill and no one was willing to continue the conversation.

As such, the two teams very naturally chose different directions to head up the mountain.

…

Along the way, Qiu Nuo defeated a few other Level One spirit beasts.

With a Soul Stick crafted from Magic Iron, along with the intermediate fire attribute soul power skills, spirit beasts of the first level were no match to her.

Very quickly, however, they ran into some trouble…

In the damp and humid forest, a spirit beast flashing with lightning suddenly appeared in front of them.

It was an impressive creature of a good one and a half meters in length and two meters in height, looking like a mix of a wolf and a leopard.

On its back was a row of glistening gold spikes with bolts of lightning running through them. The long, curved horn on its head only intensified its ferocity.

"It's a sixth-level lightning attribute spirit beast." Mo Ziyan stepped forward to protect her as the lightning bolts reflected in his gaze.

The lightning attribute was a special attribute that combined both attack and speed. As such, a spirit beast of the lightning attribute could express both of these characteristics well.

In a one-on-one battle, even a Level Seven Soul Master would be no match for this Lightning Leopard.

Qiu Nuo frowned slightly.

This was clearly still on the outskirts of Ziying Mountain. Why did a Level Six spirit beast appear? That was out of the ordinary!
