She was the only granddaughter. Her grandparents probably wouldn’t let her take any sort of risk.

  “No, not at all.” Gu Bailu guaranteed that she wouldn’t have let them proceed if it was dangerous.

  She had the Sky Splitting Mirror, so there wouldn’t be any danger.

  “I’ll do it.” Bu Yaolian immediately agreed.

  “Don’t you have to think about it?” Gu Bailu persuaded her.

  “No need. Dragon Spirit Blood is so good, it can’t simply be given away to someone else.” Bu Yaolian was a businesswoman and came from a business family; she had the deeply ingrained mindset of a profiteer.

  Gu Bailu said, “This is a big deal. I’ll give you a day to think about it, or you can discuss it with your grandfather.”


  “Okay.” Bu Yaolian agreed, but she had made up her mind.

  “By the way, was the treasure sent over?” asked Gu Bailu.

  “It was sent over a long time ago. The Bai family doesn’t have the guts to pull any tricks with Prince Zi around. This treasure is great. Some of the maids in the house were actually able to make a breakthrough after years of failing to advance in their cultivation!”


  Gu Bailu left the witch doctor in the house and gave her the cultivation notes which she had written yesterday.

  It was only after she gave it to her that she remembered that the old woman had no eyes.

  So, Gu Bailu arranged for a maid to read the notes to her and attend to her during her cultivation.

  As for whether or not the witch doctor succeeded in opening the Heavenly Eye, that had nothing to do with Gu Bailu.

  Gu Bailu brought Bu Yaolian back to Prince Zi’s house and told Qian’er about the blood swap.

  Qian’er had no objections. She was more than happy to trade blood with Bu Yaolian.

  Gu Bailu very responsiblely warned her, “Blood is also genetic, so…… It’s possible that after the blood swap, you might have a physique that is more prone to gaining weight.”


  Qian’er blinked and asked, “What do you mean?”


  “In layman’s terms, you might get fat.”


  Qian’er stared at Bu Yaolian. As fat as her?

  That would be great!

  Lu Fenying definitely wouldn’t be interested in torturing her.

  “I…… don’t mind,” Qian’er replied gently.

  Although they had both made the decision, Gu Bailu still gave them a day to consider.

  That night, Feng Qingtian told her that Lu Fenying had already arrived at the border of Heavenly Wind Empire and Southern Glory Empire. They were making things difficult for him on the border, but it wouldn’t be long before he entered Heavenly Wind Empire tomorrow.

  So fast!

  Lu Fenying arrived much faster than Gu Bailu had expected.

  The next day, neither Qian’er nor Bu Yaolian had changed their minds. Gu Bailu closed off a room for the blood exchange.

  Originally, it was impossible to change all the blood over, but it was much easier to do with the Sky Splitting Mirror.

  Although it wasn’t life-threatening, it was still a blood exchange.

  She was worried that the blood might be incompatible with other parts of their bodies.

  Thankfully, Qian’er’s Dragon Spirit Blood was omnipotent. Bu Yaolian’s body accepted it very quickly and she woke up after a day of rest.

  It was Qian’er’s first time receiving someone else’s blood. Her organs had enjoyed the best blood all this time, and after switching to regular nutrients, was probably taking a while to accept it. After two days, Qian’er still had yet to wake up.

  It was like someone who had been eating exotic delicacies all this time switching to very ordinary dishes – it was really unbearable.

  Gu Bailu checked her pulse and confirmed that she was fine.

  On the third day, Qian’er finally woke up.

  It was also on this day that Feng Qingtian brought news. “Lu Fenying has reached the town outside Pale Emperor City and will be here tomorrow at the latest.”
