Chapter 27.2

When Li Xiao saw Li Qianfei, she was slightly astonished. “What brings you here?”

“I came to see you,” Li Qianfei said with a big smile.

Today, Li Xiao wore a pink dress that would ordinarily seem tacky. Li Qianfei would never wear a dress of such color. But when Li Xiao wore it, she looked as beautiful as the roses in the garden. She was still as radiant and beautiful as she was when Li Qianfei first met her.

After running around for a whole day, Li Qianfei’s makeup had worn off. Although she was usually reliant on her good looks, she most likely looked like a hobo in her current state.

Li Qianfei’s resentment and jealousy were like weeds bursting forth from the ground.

It shouldn’t be like this. Li Qianfei should be the dazzling pearl, while Li Xiao should be the soil beneath her feet.

Without waiting for Li Xiao to say anything, Li Qianfei entered the villa and held Li Xiao’s hand.

Li Xiao knit her brows. She wanted to pull her hand away, but Li Qianfei had an iron grip on her hand.

“Elder Sister, I’m really sad. Everyone is dog-eyed and refuses to help our family,” Li Qianfei said, her voice choked with sobs. “They all forgot I helped them in the past and chased me away. Nowadays, why is everyone so self-centered?”

Li Xiao silently ridiculed Li Qianfei. Birds of a feather flock together. Li Qianfei was self-centered, so she became friends with people with similar personalities.

Li Qianfei whined about all the mistreatment she endured, but in her heart, she was thinking of something completely different.

If she could give people bad luck, then she should rub all the bad luck on Li Xiao! It’d be wonderful if Li Xiao ran out of luck and choked on a sip of water.

Li Xiao’s acute sense became aware of Li Qianfei’s familiar power.

The corners of her mouth twitched. Li Qianfei still refused to give up? Did she dare to steal Li Xiao’s luck?

Li Xiao hung her head and silently muttered the Heart Sutra.

Li Qianfei, who still held onto Li Xiao, felt as if thousands of needles stabbed her head. She groaned in pain as her vision blurred, and she collapsed on the ground.

Li Xiao looked at the unconscious Li Qianfei and bent down. She opened her Heaven’s Eye to examine Li Qianfei’s Qi.

Good Lord. Li Qianfei was even worse compared to last time. Fifty percent of her body’s Qi was scattered, and Li Xiao gathered the Qi together. If the luck of an ordinary person was the size of a fist, then Li Qianfei’s luck was the size of a basketball.

Li Xiao seldom came across an unconscious Li Qianfei. She refused to miss the opportunity and began to study Li Qianfei’s body.

Huh?

Li Xiao discovered something odd. The luck concentrated at the back of Li Qianfei’s head had turned slightly black.

Li Xiao muttered an incantation under her breath to allow her soul to leave□□[1].

[T/N: Squares appear in the raw.]

Li Xiao’s soul passed through Li Qianfei’s head and exited through the back. It was a greenish-blue thing with bits of black on the edges.

Dragon scale?

Li Xiao immediately recognized it. Judging from the scales, it was the Azure Dragon, an auspicious beast. Its scales were enough to give people good luck, and this scale made through some kind of evil method could draw out the luck of others. When Li Xiao held it in her hand, she felt like all her luck was going to be absorbed.

Li Xiao returned to her body and found a crystal box to hold the dragon scale. The crystal would be able to insulate the scale’s powers.

She decided that she would embed the dragon scale into her stick when the time came! When fighting with someone in the future, the stick would reduce the opponent’s luck. Awesome.

As for Li Qianfei, she wouldn’t be able to steal luck after losing the scale. Although her luck decreased quite a bit, she still had more luck than an ordinary person. However, it was very unstable. If she did good deeds, her luck would stabilize, but if she did bad deeds, it would diminish.

After storing the scale, Li Xiao shook Li Qianfei awake.

Li Qianfei groggily opened her eyes. “What happened?”

“You just passed out. Did you not eat lunch?” Li Xiao said.

Li Qianfei looked at the time on her phone. Ten minutes had passed. In those ten minutes, Li Xiao couldn’t have done anything to her, right? Li Qianfei hadn’t eaten since morning, but she didn’t notice it since she was so busy before. Now, she felt famished. Her stomach rumbled, causing her to blush.

She was in a somewhat unpleasant mood after being humiliated in front of Li Xiao again. As she remembered what had happened before she fainted, she glanced at Li Xiao, hoping that Li Xiao would have bad luck.

After ‘passing’ the bad luck to Li Xiao, Li Qianfei didn’t stay long and left.

Li Xiao waited until she left to call Ai Wen. She asked her to find someone to act as an intermediary to sell her 10% of the shares to Ren Shaotang.

It was useless to call the Li family’s shares valuable because it was all dependent on Li Qianfei’s luck. Now that Li Qianfei couldn’t steal luck, she wouldn’t be able to make up for all her bad deeds. Eventually, the Li family would fall.

It was better to sell them now than wait until they were useless.

Conveniently, Ren Shaotang wasn’t someone she liked, so she could hand all the shares to him. Otherwise, she’d be screwing over whoever she sold the shared to. Ren Shaotang would likely be very willing to accept the shares.

Li Xiao couldn’t help but want to compliment herself. She was such a clever little girl.
