In terms of appearance, he definitely did not lose to Mo Xuan Fei in this aspect. However because of his capricious character, people kept him at arms length. On the other hand, Mo Xuan Fei had been actively interacting with the citizens quite frequently as he slowly garnered support.
Even that night at the banquet where he had spoken up for Jun Wu Xie, others thought that what he did was uncalled for and it wrecked his image even further.
Today, the Crown Prince was known to be a capricious character and being paired with the tyrannical Jun Wu Xie, people were shocked silly!
This couple had not met many times, in fact they had met only twice and both were at his birthday banquets.
The first banquet Jun Wu Xie had set her eyes on the Second Prince and used her family’s position to get her engagement to him.
At the second banquet, shortly after her engagement with the Second Prince had just dissolved, she had found another target so quickly!
For a period, rumours on Jun Wu Xie’s frivolous nature spread fast with many going with the version of Mo Qian Yuan ‘picking up his Brother’s old shoes’.
Some people scoffed at Mo Qian Yuan and said that he had eyes but was blind, some laughed at the new perfect ‘trash couple’.
Either way, in a few hours, various versions were running across the grapevine as everyone on the street was talking about it.
When Jun Xian saw Jun Wu Xie carrying the jug of wine, his face was pitch black.
With Mo Qian Yuan’s sudden invitation, it would have lead to others misunderstanding and now he actually gifted her his own precious treasure, the Jade Nectar?
One had to know how much the Crown Prince treasured this Jade Nectar, even if the Emperor wanted to drink it, unwillingness was written all over his face. There was also an incident on the previous birthday banquet when Mo Xuan Fei had drank a small cup of it, Mo Qian Yuan had rebuked him harshly for it.
Since then, everyone knew that this treasured wine was only for him alone.
Even his own family did not qualify to enjoy this wine, but he actually gave Jun Wu Xie some of his precious Jade Nectar, morever a whole jug of it! How could anyone explain this?
Million and one questions were at the tip of Jun Xian’s tongue however when he saw Jun Wu Xie’s lucid eyes, he swallowed back whatever he wanted to ask.
Since she had just been bullied by that bastard Mo Xuan Fei, wasn’t it good to have someone to divert her attention away?
Volume 1
Chapter 76: “Spiritual Energy”
In order for Mo Xuan Fei’s shadow to disappear from Jun Wu Xie’s life, both Jun Xian and Jun Qing decided not to say anything.
Jun Wu Xie was oblivious to the conclusions that were revolved around her. She would never have thought just a mere wine would make all sorts of conclusions run wild. In the eyes of others, she had already been paired together with Mo Qian Yuan.
Since she finally managed to get her hands on some Jade Nectar, she couldn’t wait to start and quickly went back to her room. As soon as she entered her room and closed the doors, she immediately called Little Lotus out.
A small barefooted Little Lotus appeared as he quickly hobbled to the table as he stared at the bottle of wine. He was greedily looking at it with some drool dangling at the side of his mouth. His eyes were bright as he took in a deep breath.
“Ahhhh…smells nice…” Little Lotus looked at the wine that was poured out as he gulped several times, eyes fixated onto the beautiful sparkling liquid being poured out as his tiny hands reached out.
Jun Wu Xie looked over at the eager Little Lotus with his sparkly eyes, “You can also use this to grow?”
Little Lotus hesitated for a small moment before he gulped and fervently shook his head.
Jun Wu Xie glared at him and he immediately retracted his small hands.
After using it on herself and her family and putting aside one lotus seed for Mo Qian Yuan, Jun Wu Xie was only left with one lotus seed as she casually rolled it about in her palms as she took a shallow ceramic basin that was suitable for growing lotuses. She gently poured the Jade Nectar into it as the fragrance filled the air, even with a single whiff, it could make one gulp down involuntarily as the liquid entered the basin and gentle ripples formed.
Little Lotus continued to stare intently at her actions with his mouth half opened, as drool dribbled down the side of his mouth.
Little black cat was lying on the table, leaning against the lotus basin as it slowly licked its paws, intentionally exposed its sharp claws as it stared at Little Lotus with a glint in its eye.
Little Lotus immediately shrank back, as he quickly wiped off the drool with one hand.
According to the book, to cultivate the snow lotus, one had to pay attention to the temperature and to cultivate the snow lotus, the optimal temperature of the Jade Nectar’s temperature had to be cool. Jun Wu Xie cautiously checked the temperature as she dipped her fingertip in, after which she placed the lotus seed in.
As soon as the lotus seed was placed in the Jade Nectar, a fusion of lotus and wine fragrance permeated the air and soon the wondrous fragrance filled the whole room.
Little Lotus’s face was flushed just from the smell as his eyes sparkled more.
Jun Wu Xie stared at the lotus seed in the wine for a long time but found that it did not have any further reaction, except for the fragrance that was getting richer by each moment. Despite her sensitive sense of smell, she found that this fragrance did not make her feel uncomfortable but rather it was very invigorating and refreshing. She felt as if she was being cleansed thoroughly and felt as though she was soaking in a hot spring as all her tension and stress melted away.
This also washed away all the apprehension she had held for this cultivation method as she felt her heart felt peaceful and calm.
Although she did not know what spiritual energy was, under this fragrance, she could clearly feel a warm wave of air flowing into her meridians.
Could this be the spiritual energy of this world?
Jun Wu Xie’s eyes sparkled as she sat by the table, enjoying this moment as she breathed calmly.
Although the materials were hard to find, the effects were way too effective!
However, she did not know if this jug of Jade Nectar was sufficient to develop this seed. Mo Qian Yuan had only a few more barrels left, if it was consumed too quickly, she really did not know where else could she find a new supply.
The probability to find more in the State of Qi was close to zero.
The first time absorbing spiritual energy was an indescribable feeling, somewhat warm yet as if there was something soft embracing her at the same time as it slowly fused together with her body. She gently closed her eyes.
Volume 1
Chapter 77: “Don’t bother me (1)”
Jun Wu Xie lost track of time as she sat there quietly absorbing the spiritual energy.
It soon got dark outside as the silver moonlight streamed through the windows.
“What a nice smell.”
Jun Wu Xie raised her head and before she could even turn around, she was embraced from the back by a pair of strong arm in an overbearing manner.
“You’re almost skin and bones and you still want to drink wine?” A teasing voice drifted from the back as Jun Wu Yao looked gently at the girl in his embrace.
Before he had entered the room, he had caught a whiff of this rich fragrance, it was a mixed with a familiar scent. This familiar scent was from the lotus fragrance which Jun Wu Xie had on her.
It was a very nice intoxicating smell.
She lifted her head and glanced at him in an indifferent manner, it seems she was getting accustomed to his displays of affection, although some part of her was unwilling but it did not really affect her in anyway hence she was not too concerned about it. She did not want to spend too much effort arguing with him so she did not even bother to bring it up.
He moved to her side and scooped her up as he sat down, placing her on his lap
as he continued embracing her from the back. “So…That Mo Qian Yuan guy gave you this?” Although he was smiling, it failed to reach his eyes as a cold murderous glint could be seen as he looked at the wine with displeasure.
Not waiting for her answer, he picked up the jar of wine as he raised his eyebrows as he gave her a glance and brought the jar closer.
“This wine is unworthy of your mouth.” After saying that, he flicked his wrist and attempting to pour all the wine away.
Jun Wu Xie narrowed her eyes as she glared at him coldly wanting to block him, however his grip on her was very strong as he held onto her firmly as he hugged her tightly with one arm, rendering her helpless.
“Give it to me. Put it back!” She seethed.
Jun Wu Yao looked at her with a lascivious grin, not a trace of anger could be seen.
“Wu Xie…Don’t be angry, if you like wine, I can help you find some good wine, how can you drink such garbage?”
“Put it back.” She glared at him menacingly.
Jun Wu Yao continued smiling at her without moving as his deep black eyes flashed a faint hint of purple.
“Le…Let…Let my Master go…” a tearful voice came from the side.
At the corner of the wall stood Little Lotus with his eyes looking at the situation with a confused expression and a slightly flushed face, his little body leaning on the wall as his legs were wobbling a little.
“This is…?” Jun Wu Yao raised his eyebrows with interest.
Jun Wu Xie was gloomy, Little Lotus was still in his physical form, with Jun Wu Yao’s sudden appearance, Little Lotus still stayed around!
For Jun Wu Yao, finding out Little Lotus’s identity would be child’s play.
“Oh? I thought that black cat was your contractual spirit, well looking at things, guess I got it wrong.” He lowered his head as looked at Jun Wu Xie, his lips curled upwards.
“Yo..You! If you don’t let go of my Master, don’t blame me for being impolite to you!” Little Lotus puffed up his little flushed cheeks, looking absolutely adorable.
The little black cat that was sitting quietly on the table lifted its paw to cover its eyes.
It wasn’t that it was too weak but rather its enemy was way too strong.
That little fool was good as dead!
“Oh?” Jun Wu Yao looked at that little boy coldly as he slightly lifted his finger and a flash of black light hit Little Lotus on his forehead.
“Ouch!” Feeling a sharp pain from his forehead, Little Lotus fell to the ground as he curled up in pain.
“I’m speaking with Wu Xie, when was it your place to interrupt us?” Jun Wu Yao laughed lightly as if nothing happened and as he turned around to face Jun Wu Xie. He was stunned as his lips curled up.
A pair of eye filled with cold murderous intent was staring back at him, she was still restrained by him in his embrace but in one hand she had several needles that were at his throat.
“I’ve got no mood to play around with your nonsense! Stop bothering me.” She glared at him icily. She usually did not bother what he did however if he disturbs her, she would not be polite with him at all.
Volume 1
Chapter 78: “Don’t bother me (2)”
Jun Wu Yao was surprised with her sudden actions, his cold eyes faded away, he did not seem to bother about those needles as he tried to hold back his muffled laughter. This girl was too interesting, she exposed her fangs just like that!
Jun Wu Xie placed those needles at several points. Although she wouldn’t kill him, she also wouldn’t let him off so easily!
Jun Wu Yao lowered his body and leaned into the needles as they pierced through his skin and into his throat as bright red blood flowed out, dying her hands red. Despite this all, her eyes had not a single trace of panic in them.
“It was my fault, I should not have disturbed you, how do you want to punish me? I’ll leave it all up to you.” Although all four needles had pierced his throat and crimson blood was flowing out, he still gave her a meek smile with a pleading expression.
“Put it back.” She retorted coldly.
Jun Wu Yao sighed as he placed the jug of wine back on the table.
“Wu Xie, I was wrong, if you like, you can keep this garbage temporarily to play with, but remember you cannot drink it, the alcohol content is very strong and it will hurt your throat, I’ll find a good one and bring it for you tomorrow.” He softly said as he tried to cajole the angry her, completely disregarding the wound on the throat.
“I don’t want anything.” She snuffed.
Jun Wu Yao did not force it any further as he saw that she was still upset. He raised his hand and hooked his finger as the black object that hit Little Lotus’s forehead flew back to his hands.
“I was only joking, I didn’t really mean to hurt him. He’s your contractual spirit, how can I bear to kill him?” He tried to appease her as he gave her a charming smile.
Little Lotus slowly stood up groggily, that flick to the forehead was so painful he felt as if his soul would shatter anytime! This was the first time he had experienced such pain, generally injuries inflicted by humans only exhausted their spiritual energy, they can’t feel any pain from attacks by humans however this time the pain was so intense!
He looked at Jun Wu Yao with a lingering fear, this mysterious man was too terrible!
“You, come here.” Jun Wu Yao hooked his fingers and beckoned Little Lotus over.
Little Lotus was shocked as he stood there petrified.
“I only teased you for a bit, no need to be so afraid, here, this is for you, take it as compensation.” Jun Wu Yao tossed a dark green bead over as the quivering Little Lotus caught it.
Jun Wu Yao looked at Jun Wu Xie gently.
“Now, are you still angry?”
“You’re annoying.” Jun Wu Xie glared back.
“Your words are so hurtful.” Jun Wu Yao responded in a distressed tone with a slight frown.
“If you like to get hurt, I have here one hundred and eight needles.” She looked at him icily.
Jun Wu Yao chuckled as he pulled her hands to his lips and kissed it. “If it makes you happy, even if its ten times of that, I’m willing.”
Jun Wu Xie frowned at his comments, she had seen her fair share of desperate people however one that was such a masochist was her first time.
“I’ll be happy as long as you do not bother me.” She retorted. If he dared to touch her contractual spirit and her Jade Nectar ever again, she would be more than willing to use those hundred and eight needles!
“I won’t bother you but I cannot bear to leave your side.” He said with a weak smile.
She glared at him and didn’t say anything further as she stood up.
This time, he did not dare to restrain her as he released her.
“You reek of blood. You can go now.” Jun Wu Xie frowned at his blood stained hands as well as the strong stench of fresh blood that now filled the room. With the fresh blood mixed in with the wine and lotus fragrance, it made her very uncomfortable. She needed to wash up and get rid of this horrid smell assaulting her nose now!
Volume 1
Chapter 79: “Don’t bother me (3)”
Jun Wu Yao helplessly got up as he looked dejectedly at the Jun Wu Xie who was avoiding him. He touched his neck as the red blood trail flowed into his hand, he didn’t seem bothered a single bit by it.
“It seems it’s my fault again, letting you smell this detested smell, I’ll leave first.” He smiled wryly as he let out a soft sigh, turning around, leaving the room immediately after.
After coming out of her room, his smile faded as his fingers touched the his throat as a faint black light glowed and all four needles flew out of his throat and fell onto his hands.
“My Lord!” A shadow flashed by and a silhouette of a man dropped on one knee as he appeared by Jun Wu Yao’s side.
“You’re hurt!” There was a blood scent and the shadow was surprised that the source was from his Lord.
&nb
sp; In such a place, someone could actually injure his esteemed Lord?
“Hurt? This counts as being hurt?” He looked at the four needles on his blood stained hands. His eyes no longer had any hint of black in them as a deep purple colour surfaced.
But this was the girl’s small ‘teethmarks’, so he didn’t really mind it.
“Have you found the person I’ve asked for?” Jun Wu Yao asked coldly.
“Everything has been prepared.”
“Ah, that group of old geezers , want to trap me in there? They really know how to dream. I will make sure to repay them properly for that day.” His lips curled upwards as he looked at the needles in his hand. There was a glint in his eyes.
He had never experienced any rejection from her nor had she put up a fight before, however today he had finally seen a different expression on her usually cold and expressionless face. That look in her eyes was priceless, more precious any gems in this world.
He really wanted those eyes…However, if they left her, they would lose its beauty. Those eyes were really meant for her, they suited her perfectly and only she could draw out its beauty.
“How can those fools deserve to be your rivals?” The shadow whispered, his voice was full of admiration and worship.
“Let them gloat and enjoy for a while longer, when I crush them, It’ll be more interesting that way.” The higher they climb, the harder they fall…Jun Wu Yao narrowed his cold eyes.
“Yes!” The shadow answered fervently.
“This time, I’ll stay here, If you have any message just send it here directly.” Jun Wu Yao ordered.
“This subordinate obeys!”
“Oh yes, one more thing.” Jun Wu Yao suddenly thought of something.
