"No! If you give me your soul blood again, not only will I refuse it, I won't acknowledge you as my sister either!"

"All right, all right! Wait at home. I'll go pick out some clothes for you." With that, Xu Qingtong turned and left the Spring-Knowing Abode.

Moreover, returning Xiao Qi's soul blood made her soul whole and free of restraints,
