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 Kingdom 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.
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 Mistress 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 Mistress, 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.
