CHAPTER 129 (1/2)
Wonderful Painting of the Mountains and Seas 9
Houqing’s servant ended with these cruel words. “If you don’t return the betrothal gift within three days, you will bear the consequences!”
Before he left, he gave a gift that was more generous than Nine Tails’ betrothal gift… was it compensation?
The roses couldn’t handle the outside matters and were scared enough to hold an emergency meeting. The group of single-digit roses gathered to discuss this life and death event.
Xie Xi was now an important figure but his heart resisted when Red Three came to tell him about the meeting.
Red Three exclaimed, “Hurry up, there is something big! If we make the slightest mistake in this situation, our entire Rose Mountain is finished!”
Xie Xi didn’t have a reason not to go to the meeting and could only endure his numb scalp.
They arrived at the meeting chamber and the old chief pacing back and forth hurried over. “How is it? Did you find the white rose yet?”
White One frowned. “I asked but all of the white roses with a nine in their names said it wasn’t them.”
Blue Four sneered. “If it’s like this then no one will admit it!”
Xie Xi’s heart was tense.
White One maintained his roses. “Us white roses are pure in temperament and never lie.”
Blue Four replied, “Oh, they just pedal two boats!”
Given that he had pedalled more than two boats, Xie Xi couldn’t say anything to Blue Four.
White One asked, “Didn’t you hear Houqing’s servant? The little white rose has been bewitched!”
Blue Four wasn’t ashamed to be cold and resentfully poked in the needle. “If he didn’t provoke Ancestor Nine Tails, would he be bewitched?”
White One was speechless.
Blue Four continued, “Moreover, the person bewitched can’t be away from the caster. Now he has fled back to Rose Mountain and it is really hard to say if he is still bewitched!”
White One felt indignation. “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Blue Four told him, “The flower language of a white rose is pure love. Such a pure love has really opened my eyes!”
After seeing that this wouldn’t produce any results and that the two sides were fighting, the old chief quickly intervened. “Don’t speak like that! Now isn’t the time to quarrel.”
Blue Four scoffed but didn’t go too far. White One was half dead with anger but Blue Four’s words were reasonable and he couldn’t refute them.
The ‘sinner’ Xie Xi could only blend in with the wall of flowers and reduce his sense of existence, so that he wasn’t exposed and hammered to death by all the roses.
The old chief presided over the meeting. “The most urgent thing is the issue of the betrothal gift. We can’t return it!”
The silent Yellow One opened his mouth. “If we don’t return it, we will offend Ancestor Houqing. If we return it, we will offend Ancestor Nine Tails. This really isn’t easy.”
If it was easy then would all of them come together and become bald from worry? Red Two had a different style and struck her thighs. “Simply tell the two demon ancestors to come and let them fight it out!”
Everyone, “…………………………”
Rose Two felt that this was a good move. “What’s wrong?”
The group, “Shut up!”
In fact, Xie Xi thought… this move was fine. Simply let the five souls fight it out and the one who won would marry him…
Well, he was here to clear the world, not destroy it.
Purple Nine calmly said, “I think we have to find the white rose and let him make his choice.”
Red Three replied, “But we can’t find him!”
Blue Four taunted again, “A pure white rose did this type of thing. Would he dare admit it?” The word pure was emphasized again.
White One disagreed. “I believe he must be having a hard time.”
Xie Xi nodded in his heart. ‘I’m having a hard time, it is really hard.’
Blue Four stated, “If he is having difficulties then he should come forward so we can help him.”
Xie Xi silently replied, ‘It isn’t a question of helping. It is that you can’t help with this issue.’ The meeting didn’t resolve this matter…
The old chief glanced at Xie Xi and asked, “Flower…” He was about to say flower god but temporarily changed his words. “99, do you have any suggestions?”
Xie Xi, “…” I suggest that you move your entire family instead of staying here.
Of course, he didn’t say this. He was going to open his mouth when Purple Nine interrupted. “What can he do? This thing can’t be told to Azure Dragon. If the Holy Mountain gets involved and fights the Demon Sea, a war might occur!”
Purple Nine saw the big picture. The relationship between the Holy Mountain and Demon Sea was tense and it was already hard to maintain the immediate peace. If Azure Dragon came forward, what if the two demon ancestors took the opportunity to start something?
Blood would flow through the mountains and seas and the rose family would be sinners of this age!
Everyone was silent for a moment. Xie Xi felt wronged but he was indeed the cause. The simple and lovely flowers were being hurt because of him.
Xie Xi said, “I will go to the Demon Sea to see them and…”
He didn’t finish talking when there was a cry from outside. “The worms! The worms are coming!”
“What’s going on? It isn’t winter so why are the worms coming so often?”
Blue Four responded, “It is the betrothal gifts!”
The stunned roses paled. “The betrothal gifts are full of heaven and earth spirit materials.
Whether it was Nine Tails or Houqing, both were generous enough to send good things.
The rose family was self-sufficient and generally didn’t trade with outsiders. Thus, the demon ancestors didn’t give gold and silver but heaven and earth spirit materials instead.
The roses were very happy but the worms were also excited.
The worms were unreasonable and followed their instincts. They smelt the good taste from Rose Mountain and couldn’t endure it, launching an attack.
All the people at this meeting were elites. Once they heard the movements outside, they rushed out to deal with the disaster in front of them!
Xie Xi also followed since he was responsible for this matter.Well… as soon as he entered this world, all the responsibility was hung on him!
