The Unfilial Daughter Qia Yun - Chapter 12 Lightning Stone
Qia Yun daintily kept her belongings into a bag. She stared into the mirror reflecting her shoulder-length hair. Shaking her head to feel the length, she smiled. After her hair getting burnt and tangled so badly previously, she was forced to chop it off. Coincidentally, the place she was travelling could not guarantee clean water to wash her flowing locks. Finally accustomed to the short length, she grabbed a piece of dark blue rope, tying up her hair efficiently.
Applying a bit of cream that made her look darker, Qia Yun giggled at her new appearance.
A tan, commoner girl laughed back at her in. the mirror. Despite the changes, she still looked pretty good. Her ashy brows, high nose and full lips still stood out. At most a pretty commoner, she decided on her character.
” Ms Qia! Wow!” Xiao Li stumbled into Qia Yun’s room.
Her eyes brightened as she curiously scanned her young miss’ face. Qia Yun played along, making different faces to show Xiao Li. Tears filled Xiao Li’s face as she doubled over with laughter. Miss Qia’s appearance was really funny!
Qia Yun looked back into the mirror, using a small marker that made her look as if she had scars. She brushed her loose hair aside as she examined herself. Noticing her miss’ hair, Xiao Li subconsciously touched her own hair. Currently, it was shiny and untangled. Something Xiao Li was grateful for since the unplanned trip here caused her hair to become dry and tangled.
” We should set out soon! Is Li You coming?” Qia Yun exclaimed.
Xiao Li frowned, that guy was supposed to follow them? Quietly she gloated over that fact.
” Yes, missy. I’m here!” A loud voice announced.
Cringing from Li You’s voice, Xiao Li refused to turn around to see him. Li You flashed his brightest smile and ruffled Xiao Li’s freshly washed hair. Snickering under his breath, Li You narrowly dodged Xiao Li’s attack on his chest.
Xiao Li cursed silently, fixing her hair as she stared daggers at him. Smiling like nothing had happened, Li You blew a kiss to her. Xiao Li bit her lip, ignoring him.
Qia Yun raised an eyebrow. Flirting right in front of her? Wow!
Qia Yun carried her bag and made her way to the entrance of the Ming Mansion, avoiding Li You and Xiao Li. Noticing her mistress had gone, Xiao Li blamed Li You as she ran to catch up.
” Goodbye, Mr Kun!” Qia Yun happily greeted Mr Kun.
His eyes shone brightly, this girl reminded him too much of her mother. As his eyes wandered to the sheathed sword, he thought of an idea.
” Miss Qia, there is this stone that increases the power of Blue Lightning, called Lightning Stone. Aren’t you going to Feng Continent? The stone’s there! Although this old man can’t remember where it is specifically, I think it’s with a Qiang family. Xiao Jie ( aka Ming Jie) gifted it to them as compensation when General Qia accidentally killed one of their family members while drunk. Yes! It must be with them, ”
for visiting.
Her ears perked up, eager to start this journey.
