Tomorrow go back and retrieve a jar of Jade Moon.
The shadow was surprised for a moment, although he did not know why his lord had requested for the wine, he quickly answered “Yes!”
“Jade Nectar…was it?” Jun Wu Yao narrowed his eyes as his murderous intent filled his surrounding. He did not mind going into the Palace to make that meddling Crown Prince disappear for good.
The shadow was just kneeling quietly at the side, he did not dare to reflect the meaning behind those words, he knew he only needed to do what he was told.
After making a few more arrangements, Jun Wu Yao no longer stayed around. The shadow faded into darkness and completely disappeared.
In Jun Wu Xie’s room, she was frowning as she washed and scrubbed her hands over and over again – only after ascertaining that there was no longer any trace of blood scent on them did she walk over to the table.
Little Lotus stood there in silence as he stared at the dark green bead. Fiddling it between his fingers as he held it towards the moon and looked at it.
“Does it still hurt?” Jun Wu Xie asked Little Lotus monotonously.
Little Lotus was slightly surprised for a moment as he raised his head and rubbed his little forehead, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.” His rosy face wore a sweet smile. Earlier when Jun Wu Yao had retracted back the black object, all the pain instantly disappeared, without feeling the slightest discomfort, Little Lotus began to doubt himself if he had really just been hurt by a human.

Chapter 80: “Embellished Wood Bead (1)”
“Come here.” Jun Wu Xie beckoned Little Lotus without a hint of expression on her face.
Little Lotus scurried across quickly.
Jun Wu Xie lifted his fringe to check his forehead. After carefully examining it and when she could not find a trace of any injury did she finally relax as her eyes turned gentle.
“In the future, do not do anything, just let him be.” Jun Wu Xie felt that Jun Wu Yao was not as gentle as he appeared on the surface. No matter if it was that incident with Mo Xuan Fei or the few times that he carried the scent of blood, those were all warning signs.
Jun Wu Yao was strong, much stronger than anyone she has ever met. He was powerful yet mysterious at the same time and he exuded a dangerous aura. She really did not want him to be her opponent now when she was still weak and powerless. As long as he did not provoke her, she will not bother what he does. However if he crossed the line, she would let him know that she was not to be trifled with!
“But….” Little Lotus choked out. Based on his intuition, he could feel that man was extremely dangerous and when he saw that he was very close to his Master, he could not help but felt chills run down his back.
Although that man was smiling on the surface, it gave him a chill that was bone deep.
“He will not hurt me.” If he had attempted anything dangerous on her, she would have acted already.
She just couldn’t understand why he had stuck around. He was indeed in a league of his own, even if he was not here in Lin Palace, in this world she didn’t think anyone had much ability to cause him any major harm. Moreover he had repeatedly used the excuse of repaying his gratitude to her. She found it such a joke.
Little black cat was lying on the table silently, swishing his long tail as it looked at Jun Wu Xie.
Jun Wu Xie didn’t have much of a temperament. As long as you didn’t disturb, bother or provoke her and left her alone, she was generally docile and aloof. However if you messed with her, results were unthinkable.
That night, that huge fire in the mountains that devoured everything, who would have thought that the culprit would be such a seemingly harmless and quiet girl? She had burned down everything in that villa, including her only family as well as her nightmare.
Jun Wu Xie was just like that, she was generally amiable and doesn’t care much about what other’s think. However if someone had provoked her, she would put no stop to it until the other party had no way out.
Little black cat was never afraid that she would suffer, because even if she is disadvantaged, she would absolutely not be at the losing end. The opposing party would definitely be in a much worse condition than her.
“Master, this bead…can I use it?” Although Little Lotus never knew what was his master thinking of, he could still vaguely sense that she cared about him.
This was the first time that she had shown him concern…
Such a nice feeling…so warm and fuzzy…
“What is it?” Jun Wu Xie couldn’t help but ask as she looked at the dark green bead in his hands.
“Embellished Wooden Bead! This can aid contractual spirits in their cultivation! This is the second time I’ve seen it. I had seen it once in the Spirit World, didn’t think that I could actually find one here as well.” Little Lotus chattered on excitedly, with the appearance of this Embellished Wood Bead, compared to the miserable state he was in prior to this, he seemed to have completely forgotten about it.
One had to know that this simple looking bead was actually a highly sought after treasure that was very precious to aid contractual spirits in their cultivation.
“You can also cultivate?” Jun Wu Xie raised her eyebrows in surprise, she had initially thought that the only way to strengthen contractual spirits was through the person’s cultivation. It seems there was more to it If the contractual spirit could cultivate on their own, wouldn’t that save a lot of time and effort?
She had to give some credit to Jun Wu Yao, at least he compensated something worthy.
Volume 1
Chapter 81: “Embellished Wood Bead (2)”
Little Lotus immediately explained to Jun Wu Xie their own method of cultivation.
Contractual Spirits live in the Spirit World, at the time of the birth of a human, the contractual spirits will feel a resonance with the human soul and once they’ve answered the call, the contractual spirit would sleep in the human’s soul until the human teaches the age of fourteen. Only upon the awakening ceremony, will they be truly able to appear in this world.
In the spirit world, the contractual spirit can continue to cultivate their growth there however in this world, they can only rely on the human’s cultivation to grow in their cultivation.
When the contractual spirits cross over to this world, their cultivation would be extremely slow.
The Embellished Wood Bead was something that did not harness any power within, however it had a special ability, that was its ability to purify.
In this world where humans live, the environment was polluted hence the contractual spirits were not able to cultivate on their own, only relying on their human counterpart, would they be able to cultivate. The energy they try to absorb from the environment would be mixed with impurities that were hard to be extracted, making it a daunting task.
However things were different if the Embellished Wood Bead was used! It could especially extract all the pure energy from the polluted surroundings, and this in turn could be easily absorbed by the contractual spirit and directly used for its cultivation.
“Purification.” Jun Wu Xie muttered out as she pondered for awhile, looking at that plain looking bead. It didn’t look like much but it’s use was really essential.
Little Lotus’s ‘medicinal’ value was already very beneficial, if he cultivated more, how would he grow and develop? What would happen? However his endurance and physical strength really required a much needed boost.
“It is a treasure!” Little Lotus grinned from ear to ear as he carefully held the bead in his hand.
Although he had experienced such an intense pain just now, it was all well worth it. If he could exchange for a few more treasures, he really didn’t mind more pain in exchange.
“Just keep it safe, I’ll leave it to you how you want to cultivate yourself.” Jun Wu Xie nodded. This Jun Wu Yao was indeed a mysterious person, his approach was very vicious however he could easily toss a treasure like this out so readily, it lead h
er to wonder what was his origin…
Although she had no prior knowledge to this Spirit World until Little Lotus explained things to her, for Jun Wu Yao to even possess something of this caliber and throwing it so casually to Little Lotus… she really was quite speechless.
If such a person was an enemy, things will be difficult…If friends…
Jun Wu Xie thought of the word friend and Jun Wu Yao. She furrowed at that thought.
This word ‘friend’ only made her think of one person and that person was from her previous world. An image of that person popped up in her mind.
“That idiot.” Jun Wu Xie’s clenched fist trembled. She was originally working as veterinarian in A city, however she was discovered by a mysterious organization. She ended up joining that mysterious organization, saving people’s lives with her veterinarian license.
She vividly remember that day when they were suddenly attacked by a group of people and that idiot had jumped in front of her so suddenly and shielded her from the oncoming assault.
“Your hands and legs are so small, what’s the use of staying here? Quickly, leave…do not linger…” After which that person had on a smile but she was already…
Jun Wu Xie rubbed her brows, she didn’t remember much from her previous world as she had always been a loner, even towards her only family she could bear to be so ruthless. She never had much interactions with others and never placed much importance towards life and death, Only when that person had protected her in exchange for her own life, this was something she could never forget.
The reason she hated the smell of blood was precisely due to that day – that person’s chest was marked by the death god as a crimson red flower bloomed on her chest as the smell of fresh blood overwhelmed her.
“It’s not worth to save someone like me…” Jun Wu Xie muttered, as she looked down and bit her lower lip. If that person had not jumped out to protect her, perhaps that person might still be in that world saving other lives now.
Volume 1
Chapter 82: “Embellished Wood Bead (3)”
With the Embellished Wood Bead, Little Lotus can cultivate on his own here, to help him have a better environment to practice as plant type contractual spirits energy source comes from plants hence Jun Wu Xie had her yard filled with various flowers to help him to nurture.
Little Lotus was holding onto the Embellished Wood Bead as he stepped into the lotus pond. Amidst the beautiful pink lotuses in the pond was now a pristine white lotus.
That’s why plant type contractual spirits are very easy to nurture! Just plant them anywhere suitable and you’re done!
Little Lotus needed time to cultivate on his own and could not be by Jun Wu Xie’s side every moment now. Jun Wu Xie however did not really care about this point as she patiently took good care of the lotus seed in the lotus basin in her room.
Just within a night, the lotus basin that was full of the Jade Nectar had gone down by half, as the lotus seed that was in there showed signs of germination.
This speed was simply too fast!
Although Jun Wu Xie had accumulated a little spirit energy, the rate of consumption of the Jade Nectar couldn’t keep up. If this continues on, it would take only two more days before the whole jar of Jade Nectar runs out and she will have to go back to the Palace for more.
A knock sounded and Jun Wu Xie turned towards the door and said: “Come in.”
She waited for quite sometime and yet no one came in. Seeing that, she walked to the door and opened it, there was not a person in sight but a beautiful jar was on the floor by the door.
Jun Wu Xie opened the cover of the jar and a strong intoxicating burst of fragrance filled the room, masking even the scent of the Jade Nectar.
The fragrance from this jar was much stronger than the Jade Nectar.
“…………………………..” Jun Wu Xie did not have to even bother thinking to know who was it from.
Holding the jar as she left the room, a faint chuckle sounded as Jun Wu Yao smiled, looking at Jun Wu Xie’s back disappearing around the corner.
In the study, Jun Qing was scribbling something and Long Qi stood by his side silently.
As Jun Wu Xie entered the study, Jun Qing’s face lit up.
“Wu Xie.”
“Uncle, this jar of wine is for you.” She put the jar of wine on the table.
“Jade Nectar?” Jun Qing smiled, his darling niece whom received a jar of Jade Nectar from Mo Qian Yuan had Long reached his ears.
“This isn’t it.”
“Am I able to drink wine now? Can my body take it?” Jun Qing did not want to probe any further with regards to the wine.
“A few small cups is fine, this wine’s quality is not bad.” Jun Wu Xie never had any interest towards wines, the Jade Nectar was specially reserved for gardening.
This wine was good but it could not aid her in her ‘gardening’ so it was useless to her.
“That’s nice of you, thanks.” Jun Qing grinned.
Jun Wu Xie nodded back and left the study. Long Qi bowed down respectfully as he watched her leave.
A tall figure was outside the room watching all that happened in the study through the window. He had also caught the act of her gifting his wine away. His handsome smile was overflowing, if he saw her pouring the wine into the lotus basin, he would have been really upset.
That girl did not drink the wine but used it to nurture the lotus seed, how interesting.
If it was used to grow flowers then it didn’t matter anymore.
For the Jade Moon which was a better wine than the Jade Nectar, with regards to her gifting it away, someone wasn’t that upset about it as the words “this wine’s quality is not bad” left a good impression.
Rather than using it to rear flowers, gifting it to someone else means that it’s grade was significantly higher was it not?
Two days later, Jun Wu Xie once again went to the Palace to visit the Crown Prince and returned home with another jar of Jade Nectar.
Crown Prince’s precious Jade Nectar, which even money could not buy, was always given to Jun Wu Xie whenever she visited. Whenever she left the Crown Prince’s residence, she always brought a jar of Jade Nectar home.
When this trend was affirmed, everyone around had already linked the two up as a couple.
As people talked more and various versions kept going around, more and more found this funny. The incident which Mo Qian Yuan had snided Mo Xuan Fei during his birthday banquet was still fresh in Mo Xuan Fei’s mind as he kept brooding over it.
One of the days when Jun Wu Xie was visiting Mo Qian Yuan, Mo Xuan Fei evidently brought Bai Yun Xian over to the Crown Prince’s residence.
Volume 1
Chapter 83 “Ill Intent (1)”
In the Crown Prince’s Residence, Jun Wu Xie was taking his pulse. The past few days of treatment had removed most of the toxins in his body and Mo Qian Yuan was feeling much better. His usually pale face now had more colour.
When the Second Prince visit was announced, his face showed a hint of impatience.
“Choosing this time to come, I’m sure he’s up to no good.” Mo Qian Yuan sneered.
The relationship between the two brothers were not harmonious. Mo Qian Yuan’s mother was the Queen while Mo Xuan Fei’s mother was a concubine. After the Queen had passed away, she took over the harem and also became Emperor’s favourite. The Emperor had doted heavily on this concubine although the Queen had passed away and this made Mo Qian Yuan’s heart chill.
Jun Wu Xie pulled her hand that was taking his pulse back as she said: “Now that your recovery is known, some people are afraid and cannot keep still.”
Mo Qian Yuan did not conceal his recovery and this was also specified specifically by Jun Wu Xie.
Who would support a stupid Prince and Lin Palace? He must first re-establish the reputation from the ground up, starting by gaining back the trust from the citizens and the other ministers.
This point was understood well by
both Jun Wu Xie and Mo Xian Yuan.
“I’d like to see what he can do to me, the Crown Prince.” Mo Qian Yuan scoffed as his eyes flashed a hint of cold intent. Although the Crown Prince’s position was not stable, the Emperor still needed to ensure his own reputation. Hence he would not do anything radical and even Mo Qian Yuan wouldn’t dare do anything in front of others.
In a few moments, Mo Xuan Fei and Bai Yun Xian strode in leisurely.
In terms of appearance and temperament, Mo Xuan Fei had a high reputation in the whole country, Bai Yun Xian was dressed in white like a fairy, being by his side had complemented this couple as an air of elegance and pride could be felt.
“Imperial Brother, I’ve not seen you for so many days, your complexion looks much better.” Mo Xuan Fei spewed his words out smoothly as he entered and caught a glimpse of Jun Wu Xie which startled him slightly.
Mo Xuan Fei felt a discomfort in his chest, as unhappiness filled it. The number one reason which her looks were never emphasized in the past was because of her terrible temper that had surpassed and overshadowed her appearance.
She had always looked at him with eyes full of admiration and enthusiasm however now her eyes were cold and aloof and what’s more, she didn’t even look his way.
This change in temperament gave a feeling as if she was a totally different person, her ethereal beauty matched her ice cold personality as if she was a snow lotus – pristine,beautiful and unattainable.
Jun Wu Xie also was dressed in white today as she was seated casually on a chair with her bright eyes slightly downcast reading the book in her hands, with no intention to raise her head.
Both were dressed in white, both had cold personalities, both were gorgeous women, but somehow, Mo Xuan Fei actually felt that after seeing Jun Wu Xie, Bai Yun Xian seemed less elegant and stunning.
Jun Wu Xie’s indifference that she exuded was as if the mundane world had nothing to do with her as she sat there quietly, everything about it was so natural, even her sitting her posture was perfect. In contrast, Bai Yun Xian didn’t look that natural although her chin was raised up in an aloof manner, if directly compared with Jun Wu Xie, hers was simply intentional and made it seem less apealing.
