Once again, the Child of Fortune encountered a horse servant from the Song family!
“Qingxue, you must marry this man. Otherwise, consider me as if I have no daughter,” Xu Qingxue's father declared harshly before turning away.
As soon as her parents left, Fang stepped in from outside, his expression serious. “Miss Xu.”
“Fang, what are you doing here?” Xu Qingxue was taken aback. She knew Fang was a horse servant for the Song family and usually had no time to go out.
Their social statuses were vastly different, and under normal circumstances, they would never have any interactions in their lives. However, not long ago, when Xu Qingxue encountered a snow wolf outside, it was Fang who suddenly intervened and saved her. After that, they spent a night hiding in a snow cave together.
Thus, they formed a deep bond. Whenever Fang took the horses out for the Song family, he would bring Xu Qingxue along for exhilarating rides.
Xu Qingxue saw Fang not just as a horse servant but as a strong and resilient person. He was particularly interesting and often told her jokes, showing great understanding of girls. On the other hand, Fang felt that Xu Qingxue was different from other young ladies of noble families; she had no airs about her and never looked down on him because of his status.
A few days ago, when he heard that Xu Qingxue was to marry Song Dabao, he specifically asked her about it. As he suspected, she was indeed being forced into it and had no interest in Song Dabao at all.
This time, he finally found an opportunity to sneak out and come to the Xu family. To his surprise, he witnessed the scene of Xu Qingxue's parents pressuring her.
Fury surged within him. Why were these people forcing Xu Qingxue? It was truly despicable.
“I will take you away, Miss Xu. With me around, no one can force you into anything,” Fang said firmly.
Xu Qingxue sighed deeply. “Even my parents dare not oppose the Song family; how can I stand against them?”
She shook her head, feeling that there was no hope for her future.
“Ha! I have a plan,” Fang replied with a faint smile.
Although he was just a horse servant, he harbored great ambitions and had been secretly training himself all this time. Recently, he noticed that his luck had suddenly improved; everything seemed to be going smoothly for him.
For instance, not long ago when the Song family unexpectedly discovered the remains of a flood dragon, he was assigned to lead the horses there to transport goods as part of his duties.
Unexpectedly, he fell beneath the glacier where the bones of the Flood Dragon lay. At that moment, his scalp was scraped, and blood splattered onto the dragon's remains. This act earned him the recognition of the dragon's lingering spirit, granting him a trace of dragon power!
This was the power of a dragon. Even if it was just a sliver, it transformed him from an ordinary person into a warrior on par with a fifth-tier fighter. And that was just the surface; if he unleashed the full extent of the dragon power, his strength would be even greater.
"Do you have a plan?" Xu Qingxue asked, momentarily stunned and unable to believe it.
He was merely a horse servant. Although he secretly trained and had decent strength, how could he possibly compare to the powerful Song family?
"Yes, I have a plan, Miss Xu. We can devise a way to kill Song Dabo!" Fang's eyes narrowed. "If he dies, your marriage will be over."
"What? Kill Song Dabo?" Xu Qingxue was taken aback by Fang's ruthlessness.
"Yes, kill him."
Song Dabo was no weakling; he was a genius of the Song family with fourth-tier cultivation. Even if ten of us teamed up, we probably wouldn't stand a chance against him.
Xu Qingxue instinctively shook her head, feeling that Fang's plan was unrealistic.
Fang smirked slightly. "Dealing with him isn't easy, but what if we ambushed him? I heard that the Empress is coming here soon. At that time, Song Dabo will accompany her to the burial site of the dragon bones. Ever since those bones appeared, many snow wolves and other beasts have gathered there! The underground caves in that area are complex and winding. When the time comes, Qingxue, you can follow Song Dabo while I tag along as well. We can take him by surprise."
Fang's plan seemed rough around the edges, yet he exuded confidence. It was simple; he had recently gained Song Dabo's trust, so Dabo would definitely allow him to follow.
Moreover, due to his desire to obtain the dragon soul, he was quite familiar with the burial site beneath the glacier. The key point was that in that extremely cold place, because he possessed even a trace of dragon bloodline power, he would be unaffected by the cold—unlike others, including Song Dabo.
Given all these factors, what did he have to fear?
Although Xu Qingxue felt skeptical about the plan, she instinctively trusted Fang.
At this moment, within the grand hall of the Song family...
Wu Xixue sat in the foremost position, with Chen Anlin standing behind her. In front of them stood the senior members of the Song family, and even Cheng had come to pay his respects.
"Your Majesty has traveled a long way; perhaps you should rest for a couple of days before heading to the glacier to retrieve the dragon bones," Song Qinglian suggested with a smile, cupping her hands.
"Indeed, Your Majesty. That place has been sealed off by us; not even a fly could get in," Cheng added.
"I am indeed a bit fatigued, but prepare yourselves; I intend to enter that place tomorrow," the Emperor replied.
"As you command," they responded.
While they spoke, Chen Anlin's gaze lingered oddly on a man in his thirties. This man was Song Qinglian's son, named Song Daba. His strength was quite respectable for this region, and he was about to marry a woman named Xu Qingsnow.
However, the problem was that the fortune above Song Daba's head was pitifully low.
What does this signify? His life is not long for this world.
This was puzzling—was this young official destined to die? What could be the cause?
Though curious, he chose not to voice his thoughts and decided to observe quietly.
"Listen carefully, everyone. This time, His Majesty is traveling incognito. Only those present are permitted to know about this matter; no one else is to be informed. This is for His Majesty's safety. Do you all understand?" Chen Anlin said with a stern expression.
