Chapter 149

They had underestimated Lan Xiaoran, the "waste." He had suspected Qing Li’s true identity from the very beginning, and Qing Li was dead. Her death had been within their expectations. When they had hunted her down years ago, she was already gravely wounded; forcing herself to give birth to a child meant she was not long for this world. What they hadn’t anticipated was that, beyond Lan Xiaoran’s attention, the Huo Family had also taken notice. They had even helped that vicious female, Li Nianlan, harm Qing Li’s child. By the time they arrived, it was already too late. Because Lan Lingdu had been too young at the time, it was uncertain whether she would ever manifest an ability. On her deathbed, Qing Li had sealed her own power into a necklace unique to her race, hoping that if Lan Lingdu didn’t awaken any abilities when she grew up, she could inherit her mother’s power so as not to be left completely defenseless.
