Supreme Magical Concubine Is Wickedly Strong - Chapter 4

When Qiu Nuo arrived at the chamber, she heard Lin Hao’s vicious words.

The First Elder hurriedly threw him a look. He then frowned and looked at Qiu Nuo. “Why are you here at this hour?”

“What kind of words are these? After I received the news, I hurried over before I even had time to comb my hair.” Qiu Nuo was all smiles. She didn’t seem to be angered the slightest bit by the First Elder’s questioning.

It wasn’t that such things didn’t happen in the past. In order to please their masters, the servants would use their magic and prank her. Someone should have made a unilateral decision this time as well and deliberately delayed the notification timing, which was why the First Elder questioned her as such.

Upon thinking about this, Qiu Nuo smiled lightly and looked at Qiu Yue. Indeed, she saw a trace of panic in her eyes.

“Sister, I know you’re blaming me. However, things are not what you’re thinking. Furthermore, Brother Lin Hao and the First Elder are here today. You shouldn’t be spiteful and deliberately arrive late,” said Qiu Yue as she wiped her tears.

“I believe someone knows better than me why I’m late. Sister, isn’t that right?” Qiu Nuo smiled as she looked at Qiu Yue.

“You still dare to quibble.” Lin Hao was already angry from waiting, to begin with. When he heard this, he was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. “Do you know that you can stand here alive all thanks to Sister Yue’er? You actually dare to use such a tone to talk to her. I really don’t know how such a vicious woman like you exist in this world!”

“Brother Lin Hao, don’t say that. She must be feeling uncomfortable inside.” Qiu Yue looked at Qiu Nuo tearfully. “Sister, don’t blame Brother Lin Hao. I know you’re unhappy that Brother Lin Hao treats me well. It’s all my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me.”

Qiu Nuo rolled her eyes in her heart. Who exactly was this person putting on a show for? She nearly wasn’t willing to keep her company anymore!

However, seeing the look of heartache and pity on Lin Hao’s face, Qiu Nuo couldn’t help but suddenly realize that at least this fool was buying it.

Seeing that Qiu Yue already had the upper hand with her words, the First Elder slowly said, “Xiao Nuo, do you know why I called you over today?”

“No.” Qiu Nuo shook her head. Anyway, she knew that it wouldn’t be something good.

“I heard that the medicinal field you’re managing has run into some problems.” The First Elder said sternly, “That medicinal field is full of pipewort flowers to be handed over to Zixia Pavilion next month. Who should bear this responsibility now?!”

“Something happened to the medicinal field? Why don’t I know anything about it?!” Qiu Nuo pretended to be shocked and asked.

“On the second day after you returned to the city, for some unknown reason, all the herbs in your medicinal field withered. If this continues, this batch of pipewort flowers will all die.” The First Elder looked at her and shook his head in disappointment. “You’re no longer young. Why is it that you’re still so clumsy and careless when doing things? You should learn more from Yue’er in the future.”

After hearing these words, Qiu Nuo couldn’t help but laugh coldly in her heart. Wasn’t she just finding a reason to chase her out of Tianluo City? Why did she have to beat around the bush?

Since she was afraid that this would become widespread, why did she have to do such a thing at the back garden people frequented back then?

If it became widespread that the genius daughter from the Qiu family, Qiu Yue, was no longer pure and innocent, a lot of men would be completely disappointed in her, right?

“Trash is trash. She couldn’t even take care of a small medicinal field.” Lin Hao didn’t forget to say some sarcastic words at this moment.

“Brother Lin Hao, it’s already very sad that Sister can’t cultivate. Even if she didn’t take good care of the medicinal field, it is considered excusable.” Qiu Yue looked at Qiu Nuo pitifully. However, it was difficult to hide the gloating in her eyes.

Although her words seemed to be considerate toward Qiu Nuo, every word was actually reminding Qiu Nuo about her incompetence.

Sprinkling salt on her wound. It was just that!

“This matter can’t be delayed anymore. Head over to Ziying Mountain first thing tomorrow morning to see how the medicinal field is. I don’t want your fault to bring any reputational damage to our Qiu family,” the First Elder said in a low voice.

“Understood.” Qiu Nuo looked depressed as she nodded. In reality, she couldn’t wait to leave the Qiu family. Even if she were to return, it would be after she mastered the skills and officially became a Soul Master!

Ziying Mountain was one of the eight dangerous places in the Luojia Empire. It was situated at the junction between Fufeng Prefecture and Tianluo City. It was tens of thousands of miles long and thousands of miles wide. Countless strong spirit beasts and different types of medicinal herbs grew under the strong aura there. It was a common place of residence for a large number of adventurers and mercenary groups.

The reason the Qiu family’s medicinal garden was set up at the foot of Ziying Mountain was because of the strong aura, which would accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs.

“This place is not bad!”

As she stepped into the range of Ziying Mountain, Xue Ling, wearing a cute dress, flew out lightly.

Feeling the strong aura from both heaven and earth, Qiu Nuo took a deep breath and said, “It’s a pity that I can’t become a Warrior. Otherwise, this would undoubtedly become the best training ground.”

“You already have such a good gift. Why do you still want to become a Warrior?” Xue Ling landed on Qiu Nuo’s shoulder and asked while tilting her head, puzzled.

“A Soul Master’s biggest weakness is that their body is too weak. If a Warrior gets too close, I might lose even before I get to release my soul power,” Qiu Nuo said with cold eyebrows.

“That’s true!” Xue Ling nodded. She agreed to this point.

Her previous master had said similar words before. As a Soul Master, if one wasn’t weak in terms of close combat at the same time, then it could be said to have no weaknesses.

However, as a lot of energy would have been used up on enhancing soul power alone, her previous master didn’t focus on anything else.

Furthermore, it wasn’t that easy to cultivate as a Warrior. To be honest, it might be tougher to be a Warrior than a Soul Master.

“If you really want to become a Warrior, there is a way,” Xue Ling suddenly said after a moment of silence.

“How?” Qiu Nuo agitatedly asked.

“You should know the Bone Marrow Liquid, right?” Xue Ling sat on Qiu Nuo’s shoulder and held her chin with one hand.

“Of course.” Qiu Nuo nodded.

In the past few years, she had used this extravagant thing often.

Bone Marrow Liquid was a third-grade pill. It was extremely expensive. Back then, when the doctor discovered something was wrong with her body, Qiu Yuansheng spent a lot of money at Zixia Pavilion on ten bottles of Bone Marrow Liquid for her to use. However, there was no effect at all.

Because of this, Qiu Yuansheng even had a huge argument with the elders in the family.

As if knowing what she was thinking of, Xue Ling explained, “Ordinary Bone Marrow Liquid would naturally have no effect on you. However, you have to know that if ingredients from different years were used to create the same pill, the effect will be very different as well. According to reason, it would be enough to use medicinal ingredients that are hundreds of years old to create Bone Marrow Liquid. However, the effect on you isn’t ideal. It’s not that Bone Marrow Liquid doesn’t work on you, but that the ones your father bought weren’t strong enough. As long as you try using Bone Marrow Liquid created from medicinal ingredients thousands of years old, I guarantee you that within a month, your body will recover to that of a normal person!”
