Chapter 360 What Is Love
Lyu Liang had thought about all kinds of situations, but he didn’t expect such a straightforward and enthusiastic reaction. After all, Fairy Purple Phoenix was a noble lady who had power. He had never imagined her to be so gentle and sweet.
Although Lyu Liang had tried to downplay the chain reaction brought by Zhu Yu’s resentment, he couldn’t forget. Not to mention that he didn’t have any feelings for the lady in front of him…
If he hugged him, he couldn’t reciprocate. But if he didn’t, he would seem too cold…
In the twinkling of an eye, Lyu Liang gritted his teeth and gently patted the back of Fairy Purple Phoenix. “I know that even if Miss Purple Phoenix had returned to the Heaven Realm, she was still worried about my affairs. Now that my cultivation has been restored, I planned to meet you in the Heaven Realm. However, my wish came true now.”
“What!” “I went around to help you to restore your cultivation, but how did you know? Well, it must be Xiao Rong who told you secretly!” Fairy Purple Phoenix looked up, and her face blushed. Then, she asked with anticipation, “Did you want to see me?”
“I…” It was Lyu Liang’s turn to ponder the words. He had said those words before to flatter Fairy Purple Phoenix and had never really thought that she would go around to help him. He took half a step back and said, “I was looking for you to thank you, for giving me the damask!” After that, he took out the colorful damask directly from his arms and passed it to her.
“Just to repay this…” A little disappointment flashed through the eyes of Fairy Purple Phoenix, but in an instant, she was back to her usual smartness. “Since we met here, why don’t you come to my mansion in the Heavenly Alliance division for a chat?”
“Sure, but I have a companion…” Lyu Liang scratched his head embarrassingly.
“She, who is she to you?” Fairy Purple Phoenix asked in a trembling voice.
“She, she…” Lyu Liang was anxious. The various dialogues that had been designed before were totally useless.
Wen Xiaojing and himself appeared in the Heaven Realm as Taoist companions, but the wacky little girl said all that herself. And he just had to act accordingly. But when it came to confirming the fact, he couldn’t help but stutter in front of the Fairy Purple Phoenix’s anticipating yet fearful eyes.
Fortunately, the door was pushed open from the outside. Xiao Rong, with a grieving expression, came in and walked directly to her master and said, “Miss!” “What’s the matter? Let’s take him back to the mansion and chat. If you continue staying here, starting tomorrow, your gossip will spread throughout the Heaven Realm!”
Fairy Purple Phoenix blushed and glanced at Xiao Rong. She nodded slightly, and whispered, “Childe Lyu, please come to my mansion for a chat.”
During that period, Lyu Liang found that Wen Xiaojing was no longer downstairs. However, their Divine Souls were related so he could sense that she was walking towards the southwest without any danger.
“Well, I shall follow. Miss Purple Phoenix, please lead the way!” As Xiao Rong entered in to disrupt the situation, Lyu Liang felt relieved. The feeling of being alone with the lady was torturous…
“Nerd, there’s a place shrouded by the blue light curtain in the northeast, and that is our lady’s mansion. You go there first and wait for us!” Xiao Rong directly gave the order, “If someone outside sees you and my lady go out together, gossip will surely fly all over again. It may not be important for a country boy like you, but our lady has to be careful!”
“Sure!” “Then I’ll wait there first!” Lyu Liang was relieved. Without another word, he clenched his fists and disappeared.
“Xiao Rong, tell me, does he have feelings for me?” when Lyu Liang fled like a rabbit, a hint of loneliness flashed in the eyes of the fairy.
“Miss, you are too impatient.” “You can have feelings for him because he saved your life, but what about him?” “Do you expect him to have feelings for you because he saved you?” “From the information we have collected, he has never lacked a beautiful woman around him. So pardon me by saying a word of disrespect. My lady, although you are gorgeous, you have no advantage compared to those gorgeous women around him!” Xiao Rong said it all in one breath and then chuckled. “So, if you don’t want to give up, leave some traces that none of the women have left for him!”
Fairy Purple Phoenix listened, and the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a decisive light. She grabbed Xiao Rong’s arm and said, “You smartass!” “In this world, only you care about me the most!” “Never mention the word ‘slave’ again in the future. We will be good sisters forever!” “In the future, if Lyu Liang really… then, you have to marry him along with me!”
“What!?” “No no!” “I’m not going to follow you and marry that nerd!” Xiao Rong screamed and seemed reluctant.
“Oh, thank you, Xiao Rong!” “I know what I should do now!” Fairy Purple Phoenix nodded and ran downstairs first, mumbling, “What is love?” “I think I understand a little bit!”
Watching Fairy Purple Phoenix running downstairs, the smile on Xiao Rong’s face disappeared instantly, turning into a confused and pained look.
“Gone?” “Shall we inform those guys of Pan Gu Cave to move?” “I didn’t expect to have a chance so soon!” In no time, the fatty shopkeeper appeared behind Xiao Rong, with a malicious grin on his face.
“Well, they were all separated. It’s the best time to start.” “Act according to the previous plan…” Xiao Rong said without expression, but turned her head abruptly. “But, no matter what, you must tell them. Even if they smash Lyu Liang and Wen Xiaojing to pieces, they must not hurt my lady!”
“Did I mishear?” The fat shopkeeper was stunned and looked at Xiao Rong in disbelief, “You do know you are a maid, right?” “With your status and strength, you… I see, I will tell them. As long as she doesn’t intervene, she will be fine.” After that, he raised his brows and disappeared.
The reason why the fat shopkeeper changed his words was because of the weird killing intent that Xiao Rong suddenly emitted.
When there was only Xiao Rong left in the field, a hint of obscurity appeared in her eyes, and she muttered to herself, “I, have I been around her for too long? Love, what is it?”
At the same time, in a small town thousands of miles away from the Treasures Pavilion, Mu Yi was gazing around with Wen Xiaojing to introduce something; beside him was a fatty man with a flattering expression.
“Miss, you were so smart in picking the location!” “This place is called Flower Falling Town. It is forbidden to fly and fight here. Look at these colorful sceneries of flowers everywhere; it is comparable to the Sleepless City!” “And, huh, this is a property of my family!” Mu Yi smiled condescendingly.
Wen Xiaojing seemed to turn a deaf ear, pointing directly to her right, “What are they doing?”
There were a few giant trees thicker than the surrounding trees in the dense sakura tree forest. There were ten men around each of them, seemingly transferring Spiritual Qi to the trees. A person sat behind them, apparently recovering.
“What?” “Those people… Oh, you mean them!” Mu Yi froze and looked in that direction, then answered, “Did you see those giant trees?” “In fact, the reason why this sakura forest is so amazing is because of the Spiritual Roots. That is, giant wood.” “But this Spiritual Root needs to be replenished with Spiritual Qi regularly to prevent it from withering, which is what they are doing now.” “I really don’t understand. There’s a Spiritual Qi array under each Spiritual Root and it can be triggered, and Primordial Stones are given to them as well. Why do they? Hey, wait for me!”
In the meantime, Wen Xiaojing floated to one of the giant trees and was chatting with a middle-aged man who had just gotten up.
When Mu Yi rushed over with the fatty, before he could speak, Wen Xiaojing turned around and blinked charmingly at Mu Yi. She asked, “Mr. Mu, can you please lend me some upper-grade Primordial Stones?” “About two million is enough…”
“Borrow?” “You are lending from me?” An unprecedented pride swept across Mu Yi instantly, and immediately he reached out to the side. “Third!” “Five million!” “This is my gift to you!” “You can’t refuse!”
“OK!” Fatty said nothing and handed in a bulging bag. Anyway, that should have been given at the auction, and it wasn’t too late then.
“Did you hear that?” “The future owner of the Mu family, which is the head of the six families, Mr. Mu is giving you five million upper-grade Primordial Stones!” “You no longer need human labor to nourish the Spiritual Root!” Unexpectedly, after Wen Xiaojing took the bag, she shouted in a cheerful voice.
Mu Yi was surprised for a while. Before he could ask anything, he was shocked by the waves of gratitude! At the same time, countless men, women, children and young people, including those who were transporting Spiritual Qi to the giant wood before, hurriedly walked toward him. They bowed to his side, and some of the ladies had tears in their eyes.
“You may not know that they transported Spiritual Qi to the giant wood by human force, and that was damaging their Divine Soul.” “Even if they can take turns, two people have already lost their lives due to exhaustion of soul power. As for the assigned Primordial Stones, those are enough to keep the spiritual root alive but impossible to make it flourish as it is now.” “They dare not disobey the order above. So, they can only thank you.” Wen Xiaojing secretly transmitted a voice to Mu Yi’s Divine Soul.
For some reason, with that seemingly bland “thank you”, an unprecedented excitement struck Mu Yi’s body completely. Especially when looking at those kneeling and crying, he felt a higher sense of achievement than when he was flattered by his servants.
“Don’t be stunned. Instead of thanking Mr. Mu for his kindness, take better care of this sakura forest!” “Now, use these Primordial Stones to set up the array, and save the rest for later!” Wen Xiaojing reminded everyone promptly, causing a round of cheers.
Subsequently, a large number of Primordial Stones began to drift everyone’s hands, followed by a busy time to arrange the arrays. Even Wen Xiaojing grabbed a handful of Primordial Stones and started to arrange them with interest.
“…Third, let’s go too!” Mu Yi’s eyes brightened and rushed to the place as well.
“Eh, boss, do you want to call our…? Forget it, it seems very interesting.” The fatty wanted to inform others, but when he saw the light in Mu Yi’s eyes, he understood immediately.
Because of the layout of the array, the Primordial Stones had to be placed one by one on a fixed location, there was no short cut. When the entire town was busy and happy, a melodious tune sounded slowly. It was light and comforting, taking away the fatigue and boosted everyone’s energy.
At that time, among the busy crowd, some stood up and admired Wen Xiaojing, who played the strings not far away, like a fairy. Surely, Mu Yi was one of them, dumbfounded.
However, the pride and exaggeration in his eyes had disappeared, and an unprecedented calm light replaced them.
After a while, he slowly took out a cyan light ball, and a layer of light curtain shrouded him and the fatty.
“Bastard!” “The girl from the Xie family has been waiting for you in the room for a long time. The girl from the Ning family also told me that you had an appointment with her!” “Why the hell are you making me so tired!” “Come back now!” A furious voice sounded inside the light ball.
“Dad, reject them.” Mu Yi stared at Wen Xiaojing. Although his words were light, he was determined.
“Eh?” “You…” The sound in the light ball stopped, and it seemed to feel something. Then it gently asked, “Which girl?” “How many times are you this serious?”
“Dad, I don’t remember the first few times, but I know that this is the last time. I am serious as Mu Yi!” “Not only the Xie’s and the Ning’s, but several others, including the Heavenly Alliance division, have a relationship with me. In fact, you already knew that, right?” “That’s all done for now!” Mu Yi gradually became solemn.
“I don’t know who you fancy. Anyway, make some time and bring her to me.” The tone in the light ball was a bit troubled, but sounded more relieved.
Mu Yi glanced at the light ball and then smiled bitterly. He put it away, muttering softly, “If I can marry her, I will have no regrets in my life…”
“Brother Yi, are you serious?” The fatty’s expression was also solemn, and then he turned his head and said, “She, she is so dazzling.”
Mu Yi nodded and suddenly asked, “Third, do you know what love is?”
“With my brain, I can’t think of such elegant things…” Fatty shook his head and asked curiously, “Do you know?”
“I also don’t know…” Mu Yi shook his head, and then said word for word under the fatty’s astonished eyes, “But what I know is that no matter what the result of this life is, she is the one I swear to die together with!”
