Chapter 1102: Here's a Lotus Root for You!

"Eh... Miss Qiao has misunderstood. There's no need to worry, the Exquisite Lotus is fine... it just missed you." Jun Mo Xie's words caused Qiao Ying to suddenly blush, and she stared at him. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!"

This fellow, saying he missed me as soon as he saw me...

"Miss Qiao seemed to have misunderstood again... What I meant was... the Exquisite Lotus has missed you. After all, you've raised it for such a long time..." Jun Mo Xie said in an innocent manner.

"You! ..." Qiao Ying's face instantly turned somewhat white with anger.

Dugu Xiao Yi instantly burst out in laughter. "Big brother Mo Xie, you're acting like a hoodlum again..."

Jun Mo Xie's mouth twitched and he glared at her fiercely. "How am I playing punk? Lass, don't speak nonsense and confuse others. Otherwise, I won't go lightly on your butt later! I was saying that the Exquisite Lotus had been apart from Miss Qiao for a long time, and naturally missed her... the Exquisite Lotus doesn't know how to talk, so I was just speaking on its behalf... how was that acting like a hoodlum..."

Speaking on a plant's behalf!?

To think that he actually managed to let those words out of his mouth.

Qiao Ying's face turned red again, and she snorted hatefully. "Does the Exquisite Lotus miss me? You seem to understand the Exquisite Lotus very much, ah..."

"Isn't that so?" Jun Mo Xie sighed 'emotionally'. "That Exquisite Lotus of yours is so intelligent. Ever since it came into my possession, it'd been telling all the other plants about how good you are. Now, a lot of my spirit herbs have been touched by its words and are looking forward to meeting you, hoping that you could be by their side forever... how nice would that be..."

Qiao Ying didn't know if she should be angry or if she should laugh. This fellow was truly good with his tongue. To think that he could even say such things... was he coaxing a three year old child?

"You said that you had many more spirit herbs? Where are they?" From the time she saw that 'Yin Spirit Ginseng', Qiao Ying had already felt very impatient in her heart. Now, hearing Jun Mo Xie speaking like that, although she didn't quite believe his boasting, she could not help but to feel curious.

"For such precious treasures, they are naturally kept in the safest and the best place to take care of them. They're all in my bedroom... when are you going to see them?" Young Master Jun asked in a somewhat shy manner.

"You... you despicable hoodlum!" Qiao Ying felt her breath choking in her chest! If his spirit herbs were kept in his bedroom, then by those words he said earlier: 'a lot of my spirit herbs are looking forward to meeting you, hoping that you could be by their side forever...'

Wouldn't that mean that she needed to be in his bedroom forever, just like the spirit herbs?

This this this.. this pervert!

"Hur hur... two beautiful ladies came here to celebrate for me today; how can this Jun let you leave empty handed... It's just that the scale of this Jun's faction is not comparable to the size of the Misty Illusory Manor or the Holy Lands, and our foundations are not as deep as well, so there's truly nothing good enough to take out. I can only treat each of you to a piece of lotus root each. May the two misses forgive me." Jun Mo Xie said with a slight smile.

A piece of lotus root each?

Did you think that your lotus roots are immortal pills? We came all this way just to eat your lotus root?

The two ladies felt quite unhappy in their hearts.

This fellow actually had the face to act poor in front of us? Everyone in the reception hall below was holding onto a stalk of Austere Heart Orchid and a Snow Silkworm Handkerchief. Even the Misty Illusory Manor and the Holy Lands might not even be able to take these two things out! There were also the Night Illumination Pearls, Fragrant Tea Herb, Yin Spirit Ginseng... which of those were not rare treasures that could not be found in the world? With your wealth, you can still say that you are poor?! Why don't you go and die instead!

Qiao Ying and Miao Xiao Miao had already eaten the Exquisite Lotus Root before, so they naturally knew that that thing was at most only the size of a peanut. Naturally, they could not be cut into pieces. So they thought that Jun Mo Xie was definitely going to take out an ordinary lotus root for them. Do we care about your dumb lotus root? Could your lotus root be better than the Exquisite Lotus Root?

Seeing the two girls remaining silent and were even staring at him angrily, Jun Mo Xie laughed and waved his hands, causing a large lotus root to appear in his palm!

The lotus root was as thick as a fist and over a chi long!

In terms of size, there were truly nothing spectacular about this lotus root. It was possibly even slightly smaller than a normal lotus root. The only thing was that this lotus root, was pure jade-white in color and translucent like a crystal, to the point where one could see through it to the other side.

Also, the moment this crystalline lotus root appeared, the entire room was instantly filled with an indescribable refreshing fragrance...

The smell of the Ancient Tea Fragrance Herb had lingered in this room for a long time, not dissipating. But as soon as the lotus root appeared, the smell instantly disappeared into the background, only leaving behind this refreshing scent...

This intoxicating fragrance that was difficult to describe with words gave everyone an invigorating feeling when they smelt it. It was as if their souls had been cleansed...

Qiao Ying's beautiful eyes suddenly widened to the limit, and her little mouth dropped to the ground. It was as if she had just seen an extremely unbelievable thing...

Miao Xiao Miao was also stunned momentarily. However, she was still somewhat uncertain in her heart. It couldn't be right? How did it grow so big...

But Qiao Ying had already screamed with shock. "Exquisite Lotus Root?! It's really the Exquisite Lotus Root?!"

Jun Mo Xie looked at her and nodded with a calm smile.

"It's really the Exquisite Lotus Root? But how is that possible?" After receiving the confirmation, Qiao Ying's body swayed slightly, as if she was on the verge of fainting. Using all her strength, she barely managed to control herself. However, she could not stop herself from rushing forward like a bolt of arrow. "Let me see! How could this be? How could it be so big..."

Miao Xiao Miao was also stunned... This, this is an Exquisite Lotus Root? This is too... unbelievable wasn't it? How could it be so big?"

Taking the huge lotus root from Young Master Jun's hands, an agitated look filled Qiao Ying's face! This was undoubtedly the lotus root formed by the Exquisite Lotus!

To actually reach such a size...

After turning it around and examining carefully like a treasure, Qiao Ying's jade-white face turned redder and redder, and her breathing became more disorderly!

"To actually grow it so successfully, you... how did you do it?" Qiao Ying hugged the lotus root tightly in her arms and asked in an expectant voice.

Faced with that question, Jun Mo Xie only smiled lightly and did not reply. Seeing that, Qiao Ying instantly realized her mistake. How the other party had done it was his business. Why should he tell her? Especially with the current relationship between the Evil Monarch Manor and the three Holy Lands, how could he tell her such important information?

Thinking here, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Forgive me." Although she did not stop asking further, her tone still contained an obvious hint of reluctance!

"Truthfully, there's nothing difficult about telling you. I happen to possess a piece of Heaven Earth Spirit Vein by chance!" Jun Mo Xie said with a warm smile. "Using the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein, I carved out a little pool into it... and using the Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi from it to nurture the Exquisite Lotus, I managed to grow this Exquisite Lotus Root. That's all there was to it..."

Qiao Ying instantly understood! Using a Heaven Earth Spirit Vein to nurture the Exquisite Lotus would naturally be much more effective than growing it in a natural way. In fact, that was most likely the only way for such a large Exquisite Lotus Root to be born...

At the same time, Qiao Ying also felt an unknown joy in her heart. There was actually no need for him to disclose this kind of secret information, but he still disclosed it to me! A person who is an outsider!

That he possesses the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein of legends...

If this matter is known, even the people from the Heaven Saint Palace would be envious! If the news is leaked out, it would most likely result in huge amounts of trouble for them, and they might even turn into the common target of the entire pugilistic world!

However, Jun Mo Xie had actually still told her this huge secret! Simply because... she had asked!

This was a huge amount of trust in her!

Seeing Jun Mo Xie's warm gaze, Qiao Ying's heart skipped a beat. Inexplicably, she felt a sense of happiness.

That was a happiness that came from deep in her heart...

"Don't worry, I will keep this secret forever in my heart, never letting it be leaked!" Qiao Ying promised solemnly. Although her voice was low, it was filled with determination, as if she were swearing an oath. Even she did not realize the degree of sincerity she had said those words in...

Jun Mo Xie chuckled and smiled lightly as he took the Exquisite Lotus Root back.

Using the flat of his right hand as a blade, he made a few slices on the lotus root.

The Exquisite Lotus Root was divided equally into nine pieces.

"Xue Yan, bring these two slices to mother and grandfather. As for the remaining, each of you can have one." Jun Mo Xie waved his hand and the sliced pieces of lotus roots flew out, landing in front of everyone...

Mei Xue Yan did not hesitate, directly nodding and left with two pieces.

Once these things were cut open, it must be consumed as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if too much time passed, they would dissipate into the air completely... Even Mei Xue Yan would need to use her full speed and use her Xuan Qi to wrap around the Exquisite Lotus Root slices to prevent the energy from being lost...

Filial piety was a basic value of all humans, and Jun Mo Xie's actions caused Qiao Ying and Miao Xiao Miao to feel that this Evil Monarch was a very upright person!

Qiao Ying picked up the piece of Exquisite Lotus Root before her and sucked in a deep breath of air. This single slice was already 10 times the size of the Exquisite Lotus Roots that the Heaven Saint Palace had ever cultivated despite using a huge amount of time!

Naturally, this lotus root's medicinal effects would not be ordinary as well!

As for Miao Xiao Miao, she looked at the lotus root before her with some conflicted emotions. For her first time meeting him, how could she accept such a valuable gift? This was a truly priceless treasure, ah!

This was something that had a value that was equivalent to the Seven Colored Holy Fruits! Just thinking about the arrogance of the Rainbow Holy Tree back in the Misty Illusory Manor, it was easy to imagine the preciousness of this thing...

"This... I can't accept it!" Miao Xiao Miao thought for a long time and finally decided to reject the gift.
