Some strands of Xi Ma's long hair is sticking out all over the place and a part of his face has black and white paint aligned as tiger stripes. There are also some on his robes.

”What happened to you?” Lou Ren questioned Xi Ma's weird appearance. ”Did you went out of the Mortal Domain?” he added with a smirk, just doing a wild guess.

Lou Ren is also able to confirm that his friend seems to badly need the rest. He curiously peeked at Xi Ma, wondering what he plans to do because they seldom need the rest as Keepers.

With a dark face, ”Not really. Just do not ask more to it.” Xi Ma replied, not really interested to tell Lou Ren that he is stupid enough to barge into someone's home, steal they are dried up white flowers that were created anecklace to be placed on deity's small status.

The paint as well on Xi Ma's face was because he got his arrival aim wrong when he was trying to teleport back to the Wei courtyard and he accidentally saw a bunch of beings placing the paints as part of a ceremony.

Some might ask why looking for white flowers is a big deal. That is because aside from the fact that the growing white flowers in the Mortal Domain are not in season, white flowers are mostly used to filter spiritual impurities, making them very limited. Even the small ones.

Even though that is the case and the one that he got are originally dry, he can always use a little magic to revive them for a very short period of time. Xi Ma just hopes that it will be enough to satisfy Wei Jiayi.

He needs to blend for a moment before he sneaked out of the place.

”Hmm...” Wei Jiayi took the flowers and looked at them with a frown. ”So small.” He commented unhappily.

Xi Ma smiled knowingly before replying, ”Master, you never mention how big they are supposed to be.” He waved his hand to the flowers, chanting a spell softly to turn the small flowers to bigger ones. ”Are they now good enough?” he asked.

Wei Jiayi nodded, instead of responding, he stiffened, his brows wrinkled deeply. He is looking at the entrance of the dining room with alertness. His nose twitches as he tried to endure the revolting smell that is coming their way.
