The Genius Wife of the Pampered King of Hell
Chapter 198 – Parents Who Don't Know Shame
This was due to the withering of spiritual herbs and spiritual herbs found in Yan Jing City. As the vortex of spiritual power drained his energy, the price of one spiritual plant stem, or one spiritual plant stalk, would now greatly increase. And since all the spiritual plants in Yan Jing City had now withered; including the ones stored in jade boxes, the ones that refined pills and used spiritual plants for medical treatment, were, I have no choice but to buy it from out of town. Thus, this would cause the price of medicinal pills and spiritual plants to rise naturally very quickly.
Hexi recalled the medical herbs, and the large pile of first-rate medicinal pills, which she had just finished in her room. As the corner of his mouth lifted, a sly smile was seen in his eyes.
It seemed that the opportunity for him to make a lot of money had finally arrived.
The old beggar man who was following beside Hexi noticed that his expression was changing. Turning his eyes, he laughed as he said, “Ohh, have you ever heard of this unusual phenomenon that happened a few nights ago? It was so dramatic, even the drunken me was woken up by it. Ck ck, I wonder what kind of senseless person rose in rank and caused such a huge commotion! If others were to observe this, it would certainly be a disaster! Although, with this so-called unusual phenomenon, there must be a treasure trove. On the surface it seems that influential families have not taken action, but secretly, they must be looking for the source. Hey, it will definitely be very crowded in Yan Jing City in the future, right?”
As the old beggar man spoke, he often glanced at Hexi's face to gauge her reaction. By what he meant, it was clear that he already knew that Hexi was the main cause behind the phenomenon.
Hexi was not surprised that the beggar old man knew. When he was wrapped up in the beggar old man's spiritual power a while ago, he was unable to protect himself and felt everything was visible to him. This included the secrets of his space and his chaotic dantian.
But, there was no greed or killing intent in the eyes of the beggar old man. Instead, there was cunning and excitement; like he was watching a good show.
Hexi's face was blank as she spoke. "Oh, so? What a mystical sight, I hope I see it too. Unfortunately, I wasn't in town that day, so I didn't get to see it.”
The old beggar's eyebrows shot up and he laughed lightly. “Baby Doll, it's okay to try to deceive others, but it's naive once if you try to lie to this old man. If not mistaken, the seal inside your body had just been lifted a moment ago, right? The seal is a bit complicated. If the seal was at its strongest, then even this old man would have to expend a lot of energy to release it. In order for you to be able to lift the seal so that you can rise in rank, you would naturally need a large amount of spiritual power. Timing your progress, it seems to coincide with the time of occurrence of unusual phenomena.”
Hexi stopped walking and looked at him coldly. “At the end of the day, what do you want?”
The old beggar was surprised and immediately repeated his request. “Give me respect as a Teacher!” And then give me delicious food every day!
Without the slightest hesitation, Hexi shook her head. "NO!"
“Are you not afraid I will divulge your secret?” The old beggar asked in disbelief. Why is this girl so stubborn?
Hexi sneered, stretching her palms forward. “Do whatever you want!”
Even if he divulges his secret, why? Without proof, how could he prove it? As long as Dandan's existence was not revealed, just based on his unsealed dantian, he really did not believe that he would be hunted by martial artists from the Mi Luo continent.
As for those who offended him, he would not hold back and would repay him a hundredfold!
Of course, the most important thing is that Hexi has now come to a conclusion. Such a thing as daring to announce the secrets of others to the public, it was truly a demeaning act. The old beggar man who claimed to be Daoist Spiritual Master Xuan Qing, he was simply not worth thinking about!
