1044 Shocked to the Extreme! (1/2)
While everyone was shocked, they were even moreso could not believe their eyes. It was really a regular stone?!
When they heard him say that the stone he was gifting could barely be called a rare item, the crowd through that it was perhaps a uniquely shaped stone that was formed naturally. Although that would still be somewhat cheap, it could still reluctantly be accepted as a gift…
But no one had expected that this kid would really take out such a common stone that nobody would look at even if it were left at the side of the road… Furthermore, it was so small, what could it be used for! Pei, if it were bigger, it would take up even more space, making it even more useless!
This kid wouldn't be stirring up trouble on purpose, right?! Some among the crowd thought in a gleeful manner.
”It's actually… really… a stone… HAHAHAHA…” Qiu Peng was also stunned for a moment, before he suddenly hugged his stomach and roared with laughter until tears flowed down his cheeks. ”Mo Jun Ye… HAHAHA, you bumpkin must have really hurt your brain from being too poor! To actually take out a stone like this on the Manor Lord's birthday… you actually had the face to do it… I-I… I really have to hand it to you! What kind of present is this? Do you treat all of us as blind people?”
”Whether you're blind or not is something that I can't determine. However, I like this stone very much! It's such a beautiful stone!” Miao Xiao Miao walked out and looked unblinkingly at the stone in Jun Mo Xie's hand as though she were looking at the prettiest thing in the world. ”This is too pretty! Mo Xie, can I touch it?”
Miao Xiao Miao had already decided that the moment Mo Jun Ye passed the stone to her, she would instantly bury it in her embrace and declare that this was her favorite present…
In any case, no one could possibly pry the stone away from her grasp. Besides, she was not lying at all. Any present that came from Mo Jun Ye was the best present to her…
”Miss Miao! Little sister Xiao Miao! You… you can twist the facts like that?” Qiu Peng cried out in an anxious manner.
But what they hadn't noticed was that in the instant that Mo Jun Ye took out the stone, none of the experts at the Saint Emperor level and above had mocked him or questioned him. Instead, all of them stood up together as they stared at the stone with a wolf-like greed in their eyes!
All the peak experts could not help but fix their eyes on this stone in a serious manner!
Their greedy gazes was as if they wanted to directly swallow this stone into their stomachs!
That's right, all of them had the same thought, which was to swallow this stone with one gulp!
Even Miao Jing Yun forgot to speak for a short time as he opened his mouth slightly and looked unblinkingly at the stone. After a long time, he finally lifted his head slowly and looked at Jun Mo Xie.
”Lord Miao, I wonder if this junior's stone was a satisfactory present?” Jun Mo Xie said with a faint smile and tossed the stone towards the table filled with gifts…
”Don't throw it! Be careful, ah!”
”F*ck! Be careful!”
In that moment, over a hundred old voices screamed in unison. All the experts including the Saint Venerables panicked, as their faces turned pale in an instant!
Countless afterimages and shadows flashed through the hall, as the winds howled within the great hall. White shadows flew across the ground, among which was an eye-catching red shadow. This was clearly the main character of today's birthday celebration, Miao Jing Yun!
All the peak experts had not hesitated to use their fastest movement techniques as they dashed towards the falling stone. Qiu Peng who was standing near the table and blocking the way was directly kicked away like a ball by a Saint Venerable…
Another Saint Venerable who was positioned behind the table stretched out his hand and with a swift sweep, all the presents were smacked onto the ground, many of them breaking into pieces. Even that 'Thousand Year Longevity Pine' was broken and destroyed, and its neat pine needles were sent flying everywhere!
That Saint Venerable completely did not have the slightest intention to stop as he shot forward, stretching his hand out wide towards the small stone.
In that instant, there was only that small stone in all those peak experts' eyes!
Nothing else mattered!
Afterimages filled the hall, and after some time, it finally stopped!
A Fourth level Saint Venerable was cradling the small stone in his hands as he stood at the center.
