Chapter 386: The Awakened One
In the icy wilderness, Ning Qi, a mere woman, was pressing forward alone. She had been walking for several days, her legs barely able to carry her. She trembled in the cold wind, not from the chilling temperature, but from fear.
The rifle in her hand was her only lifesaver. As Ning Qi walked, she carefully watched her surroundings for any signs of impending danger, afraid that a wolf might appear out of nowhere.
"Damn you, Gu Fan, for deserting me and driving me away," said Ning Qi, resentment surging within her heart. Why? She, a beautiful woman, had put herself out there only to receive such treatment.
Ning Qi regretted not having Hu Bo shoot Gu Fan when they had the chance, which would have left her protected by a reliable companion, rather than the isolation she was experiencing.
Ning Qi’s original plan was to use Gu Fan and his team to fulfill her objectives. But Gu Fan had ignored her, focused instead on awaiting Lin Xi.
Su Hui and Lu Yi didn’t pay any heed to Ning Qi either. Throughout their journey, none of them had given Ning Qi any consideration, essentially marginalizing her.
Unable to endure this indignity, Ning Qi left the party, going after the treasure alone. If Gu Fan treated her that way, she resolved to claim all the treasure for herself.
Thanks to her sharp memory, Ning Qi found the hideout where the treasure was buried. As she opened the entrance and went inside, she planned to take as much as she could. Then she would start her own business and have all the best men at her feet, making Gu Fan regret his treatment of her.
"Gu Fan, you will regret not partnering up with me," said Ning Qi as she started packing the piles of gold, silver, and jewels around her, focusing on the most valuable pieces due to carrying limitations.
