C182 The Truth about the Flame Demon

1Zhou Daqing's fat face twitched slightly.

He had a feeling that this little girl in front of him seemed to know something.

But he still didn't want to admit it.

"I... I used to be a contractor here. Other than commanding the construction, what else can I do?"

Lu Qi did not mind and lightly leaned towards the door.

Her pitch-black eyes stared coldly at Zhou Daqing.

"Is that so? Why don't you take a look at what this is?"

Her slender fingers slightly raised, and a ball of gray Chaos Qi, like a spirit snake, gushed out from her fingertips.

Zhou Daqing was shocked. Even his narrow, fat eyes were wide open on the spot.

"You... How can you control it?"

When the master gave him the sandalwood box, he had once shown him what was inside. It was the thing that was wrapped around Lu Qi's hand.

This kind of chaotic qi that gathered the evil of the heaven and earth was not something that ordinary people could control.

Even the master himself was barely able to control it.

But at this moment, that terrifying chaotic qi was as obedient as a child in Lu Qi's hands.

It even had a faint feeling of wanting to please her.

This... What was going on?

Lu Qi said, "What's important now is not how I can control it, but how I just used this hand to pat your daughter's shoulder. So, you should know what will happen next, right?"

"You... What did you say? You... You actually used it... to touch my daughter?"

Lu Qi nodded." That's right. I touched it. I even touched it a few times. "

Zhou Daqing felt his scalp go numb when he heard that.

The master had repeatedly warned him not to touch the chaotic qi with his body no matter what.

Otherwise, if it was not serious, he would not be able to recover from his serious illness, and if it was serious, his body would explode and die.

Hence, these few years, he had always warned Zhou Xiaoqin to stay away from the classroom in Year 3 Class 1, so as to avoid touching the chaotic energy.

But who would have thought that even though he had thousands of defences, he was still unable to guard against Lu Qi?

"You... You..."

He pointed at Lu Qi and was so angry that he could not speak.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside the classroom.

"Ah... It hurts... It hurts!"

Zhou Daqing's expression changed dramatically.

This was the voice of his daughter, Zhou Xiaoqin!

Therefore, Lu Qi did not lie to him. His daughter had really been infected by that violent chaotic energy!

"This... What exactly is going on? Why did she suddenly become like this?" President Dung, who had been outside, was also a little confused.

Just now, he was still inspecting the purple sandpot when he suddenly heard Zhou Xiaoqin's cry.

He looked over and found that an extremely strange scene had happened to Zhou Xiaoqin.

Countless gray auras drilled out of her pores and entered her body again.

The originally pretty little girl seemed to be soaked in water, and she looked like she would explode at any moment.

"This... this is too strange. If this continues, I'm afraid Student Zhou will be finished. Why not let Student Lu Qi handle it for you?" President Dung could not watch helplessly as the students in his school continued to suffer. He could only ask Lu Qi for help.

Lu Qi did not respond.

She turned her head and looked indifferently at Zhou Daqing.

There was a trace of a mocking smile on her lips.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Daqing felt that his chest was hurting more and more.

He had a daughter when he was almost 35 years old. He only had a daughter like Zhou Xiaoqin.

Of course, he held her in his mouth because he was afraid she would melt. He held her in his hands because he was afraid she would fall.

But right now, Zhou Xiaoqin was being tortured by that chaotic energy, and there was a possibility that her body might explode at any time.

As a father, how could he bear it?

"You... What do you want to do to let my daughter go?" He asked in a trembling voice.

Lu Qi leaned against the doorframe and cast a lazy glance at him.

"It's very simple. I want to know the whole truth of the past."

"Real... truth?"

Zhou Daqing hesitated.

If he told Lu Qi the truth, it meant that the luck of the Zhou family would come to an end.

But if he didn't tell her, then his precious daughter would...

"Mr. Zhou, you don't have much time left." Lu Qi lazily reminded him.

Zhou Daqing turned around and looked at the corridor outside.

He saw that Zhou Xiaoqin's body was completely swollen due to the influence of the Chaos Qi.

She was like a balloon that could explode into pieces at any time even if she hit a tiny needle.

"You... Are you sure that you can save my daughter as long as I tell you the truth?" He asked.

Lu Qi replied, "Yes, yes."

She answered with certainty.

Zhou Daqing felt slightly relieved.

"Alright!"

He sighed and slowly opened the box.

"Back then, I was just a poor kid. I had no connections and no resources. I relied on the craftsmanship my father passed to me as a mason to earn a living in the construction team.

"Maybe it's because I'm sweet. I've been working for two years. I also earned a little money from my hands. The strong men in our village all followed me out to make a living. Thus, I formed my own construction team and started to ask for some soup from the major construction companies.

"At that time, I was naive. I thought that as long as I was willing to suffer, life would be better the more I lived. However, after forming the construction team, I realized that I had been worrying more and more every day. The money in my hands is getting lesser and lesser. After all, I can't get much from the construction company. But there is still a large number of people waiting for me to eat.

"I held on for a while, but I still can't afford to pay the workers. I felt ashamed to face my brothers who came with me to make a living, so I walked all the way to the bridge under Turtle Mountain.

"At that moment, I was disheartened and was ready to jump down from there. Alright, everything's settled. But when I climbed onto the railing of the bridge, a person in black clothes suddenly pulled me back. He said, as long as I do as he says, he'll have a way to make me soar."

Lu Qi said," So, he gave you this sandalwood box? "

Zhou Daqing nodded.

"Actually, I didn't want to make a name for myself at that time. I just wanted to... I just wanted to bring my brothers to make more money together. I didn't want them to come out with me and get nothing in the end.

" So, I agreed to his request. When I helped the construction company expand the school, I buried the sandalwood box into the wall at the appointed time and place.

"Speaking of which, that person was really a god. When I buried it the next day, I worked with him before. The boss of a construction company that refused to pay me the debt came to me and paid me the construction money that I owed.

"There are also some construction companies that used to look down on us, the small construction team, for no reason. They took the initiative to seek cooperation with us. Slowly, the name of the construction team that I brought along became more and more famous. The more work I took, the more I worked until I finally established my own construction company"
