Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1202: Ice Heart Glazed Grass’s Whereabouts

As night deepens, the footsteps of the three quickened a little.

After all, even the person with the fewest tasks among them has eight tasks, and only by completing the current task can they proceed to the next one.

”Yun Luoran, if you don’t make way, I’ll show you the might of my Sword Sect’s secret technique!” Just then, a man’s voice ahead halted the trio’s steps.

Even though they haven’t seen the figures, the three could feel the anger in that tone and the overwhelming aura; people like this are not to be trifled with.

”Previously thought it was just us few, now with more people, it’s actually less convenient.” Luo Qianqian chuckled, glancing at the other two.

”Should we change our route?” Huangfu Yihui also slightly furrowed his brow.

Yan frowned, looking puzzled in the direction of the voice: ”My power has been suppressed to less than a tenth of its usual strength.”

Luo Qianqian was taken aback, but then unleashed her aura. She closed her eyes and slightly spread her arms.

A biting coolness surrounded the three, yet it carried no intent to harm.

A thin, misty white water vapor rose and dissipated around Luo Qianqian in seconds.

”I’m about the same, not even a tenth.” Luo Qianqian looked at the surrounding energy she could manipulate, feeling both amused and helpless; if she tried to condense an arrow, she might not even conjure one.

Meanwhile, the commotion ahead showed no sign of diminishing. After a loud shout, a rather rough voice followed: ”Younger Brother Yun, let me deal with this brat and experience the might of the Sword Sect!”

”Then I’ll leave it to Brother Chen.” A very gentle voice came, seeming to carry an elegant temperament, which even made Luo Qianqian feel...

”Oh, not at all, no trouble at all.” The rough voice replied, and then its aura was released, confronting the previous aura, momentarily caught in a deadlock.

The air felt like a dragon and tiger were fighting, becoming very oppressive, as if it would tear them apart any second.

”We better not join in the excitement.” Luo Qianqian sensed for a moment and quickly said, ”Let’s hurry to find a place, maybe setting up a stall is more practical.”

”A stall?” Huangfu Yihui had the same thought; compared to that aggressive confrontation, certainly, the peace they currently had was more precious.

”Yes, a place for trading. We can put some things on display for trade and wait for what we want to come to us.” Luo Qianqian earnestly nodded, looking excited: ”Besides, in business, there should never be a point for forceful seizure.”

Forceful seizure? How many here are really pushovers?

Yan was silent for a moment before just about to nod, when suddenly they heard a voice from that direction: ”There’s Ice Heart Glazed Grass over here in the chapel!”

Luo Qianqian’s expression darkened successfully. She had just come up with a strategy, and yet the item for her task appeared where she least wanted to go?

Moreover, this could be considered good news, leaving her feeling amused and helpless.

The flickering blades and swords there, under the starry sky, were as striking as shadows on stage during a gala event, yet few could attend this ’gala’.

”Looks like we still have to go, right?” Huangfu Yihui noticed Luo Qianqian’s not-so-good expression and lightly laughed while comforting her: ”When we arrive, perhaps they’ll have mutually destroyed each other.”

Is this the way a prince should comfort others?

Shouldn’t a prince have a kind heart? Otherwise, how could a nation be united under his rule?

Luo Qianqian didn’t know what to think. She directly stood on tiptoe, patted Huangfu Yihui’s shoulder, and earnestly said, ”Water can carry a boat and also overturn it. Worry before others do and rejoice afterward; you shouldn’t gloat like this.”

”Worrying about the country and its people is the Monarch’s concern.” Huangfu Yihui seemed indifferent: ”There’re over ten brothers above me; it’s not for me to worry.”

Luo Qianqian was stunned again because, having lived long in the modern world, the most she saw was four children, and they were quadruplets. Over ten brothers... truly unbelievable.

Still, as they belong to the Royal Family, there’s no family planning, nor muss about the worry of not having enough food to sustain the kids.

Their gazes turned towards the direction of the sound; after glancing at each other, they all softly sighed.

Originally intending to avoid meeting others, still...

”I’m vexed.” Luo Qianqian rubbed her chest, looking at the two.

When the trio appeared on the scene of blades and swords, they were completely stupefied.

Is this a duel scene?

They saw a young man in white swinging a sword with bizarre steps, apparently dancing.

Opposite him was a burly, bearded man with equally strange movements, only that he swung his fists with awkward footwork.

The two were ten meters apart. That kind of distance and yet they spent quite some time sparring?

Around them, people nodded thoughtfully, their expressions solemn.

”Brother Chen, come back; you’ve lost.” Donning a strikingly blue robe under the moonlight, the voice alluring enough to make one blush, yet if it weren’t from a short and fat person weighing at least 300 pounds, Luo Qianqian might have swooned further.

”Humph! Who else!” Raising his sword, the young man looked skywards, shouting pridefully.

Unlike the admiration surrounding them, clueless Luo Qianqian and her two companions were utterly astounded. How on earth could anyone discern who lost and who won?

”We won’t compete with you for this Earth Heart Fire Lotus, but I absolutely won’t yield the Ice Heart Glazed Grass!” The booming, god-like voice snorted before leaving, taking along a large group with him.

Yan’s mouth twitched briefly, Earth Heart Fire Lotus? Clearly, they were meant to come!

Seeing the wooden box before the young man in white, Yan wore a quirky expression; did acquiring this item require such silly dancing?

Luo Qianqian turned away, not wanting to see Yan’s pleading look.

Even though she’s a girl, there’s no need to master such an odd dance, right? Even if she could... she wouldn’t want to! Nothing could be more embarrassing.

”Hey, can you trade that Earth Heart Fire Lotus?” Yan had to bite the bullet and step forward.

If they missed this one, who knows when the next would appear!

”What will you offer in exchange?” The white-clothed youth quickly embraced the box, looking cautiously at Yan.

”What do you lack?” Yan slightly furrowed his brows. It probably couldn’t be that they’ll have the same task, right?

”Distilled water.” The white-clothed youth promptly responded: ”If you know what it is, I’ll give you this Earth Heart Fire Lotus. I only wish to diminish that Yun Luoran’s arrogance; this item is of no use to me.”

”I have it.” Luo Qianqian looked at the white-clothed youth: ”But for me to give it to you, you need to answer a question for us.”

Upon hearing Luo Qianqian’s condition, the white-clothed youth beamed with delight, nodding continuously: ”Ask away.”

”Just now, that—what exactly were you doing?” Luo Qianqian mimicked the movements of the two just earlier, twisting twice, only to blush deeply under Yan and Huangfu Yihui’s gazes; clearly, this didn’t suit her!
