Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 548: The Great Technique of Escaping Responsibility

Ling Chuxi had originally thought that Mo Kongyuan would ask who had put such a seal in place, but what made her feel odd was that Mo Kongyuan did not speak for a very long time after making his observations regarding the seal and did not even ask her a single question about it.

“Chuxi, I do not know who put this seal in place, but there is one thing you must always remember—Don’t ever let anyone know about you having the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians. Otherwise, it would possibly bring you, and the person who put this seal in place, endless troubles and might even cost you your lives,” said Mo Kongyuan in a somber manner after remaining silent for quite some time.

“All right, I understand,” replied Ling Chuxi, feeling touched. If she did not guess wrongly, the seal should have something to do with her mother. The Dazzling Heart Stone which her mother had left behind was left with her precisely to help her lift the seal placed upon the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians in her body.

“Also, that Divine Stone of Chaos you have should be able to help you to lift the seal when the time comes. If you don’t have the sufficient cultivation, don’t ever forcefully break the seal again. The power within it is truly too strong and it is not something you can control,” instructed Mo Kongyuan, feeling worried for Ling Chuxi.

With the experience of almost being frozen into a popsicle just now, even if he didn’t advise her not to, Ling Chuxi also did not dare to simply try and break the seal again.

“Mister, these few magnolias must have just been planted, right? Their petals look so unique and the faint fragrance they exude is so elegant. A single look would tell that these are no ordinary flowers.” Since the matter regarding the extremely cold and gloomy qi had already come to a conclusion and Ling Chuxi was not in a rush to return home, she sized up the refurbished garden and paid it a flattering compliment.

“You got it wrong. This is the Stone Core Orchid. I found it not too long ago in the desserts of the eastern part of Feng Ze Country,” said Mo Kongyuan proudly. If one were to bring it up, his greatest pride in life was not his martial arts techniques, nor his identity as the guardian of a country. Naturally, it was also not the arrogance of eating free meals so vigorously. Instead, it was all the odd flowers and strange stones that were housed in his garden. This garden was the crystallization of his entire life’s hard work.

“Then it’s no wonder. In the entire world, it is only in your courtyard that such rare items can be seen. The gain from coming to your place once is greater than traveling around the world.” Anyways, since buttering up someone didn’t require money, Ling Chuxi was not the least bit stingy when she decided to do so.

“That’s true too. It is a pity that ordinary people only find it good looking without knowing the true worth behind it. How would they have such knowledge like you do?” replied Mo Kongyuan in return He was flattered to the point that his entire body felt so comfortable, till even his old eyes were narrowed in his smile.

“That is them not having good taste and not knowing how to appreciate the treasures on display here,” said Ling Chuxi with an expression full of disdain.

“All right, there is nothing else right? If there is nothing else, I will ask the housekeeper to prepare some dishes. Tonight, you all can just stay back and join me in having a meal together,” said Mo Kongyuan. His mood was very good now and he had totally forgotten the catastrophic consequences he had to face every time Ling Chuxi came to visit.

“I have nothing else to ask you, but Ninth Prince has been promoted to the realm of Great Fulfilment and would like to seek your advice in providing some pointers regarding his martial arts techniques,” said Ling Chuxi as she signaled for Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen to come over with a few glances.

Both Fu Chengyu and Ling Yichen immediately flew over, anticipation practically written all over their faces.

“What?!” cried Mo Kongyuan as his smile froze. He had long known that nothing good would come out of this little brat when she started buttering him up as such. How could he have let his guard down in a moment of pride? If he knew this earlier on, he would have immediately avoided them all.

“Didn’t you say you are not here today to seek pointers for martial arts techniques?” asked Mo Kongyuan.

“It is true that I am not seeking pointers for martial arts techniques, it is Ninth Prince who wishes to seek your guidance for such matters. I just casually followed along to liven things up,” replied Ling Chuxi as she cunningly blinked.

“Your humble junior has just been promoted to the realm of Great Fulfilment and there are still many things that I do not understand with regards to the path of martial arts. I hope that I would gain your assistance in these things,” said Fu Chengyu without wasting his opportunity.

“Fine. The group of you just wait a while first, I need to make a quick trip to the loo and then I will return very quickly.” Mo Kongyuan saw that the situation wasn’t going to end well for him, so he used the legendary great technique of escaping responsibility—go for a toilet break and never come back.
