Chapter 434 – The Truth; Lots of Troubles (8)
Ever since the Liu Danhuang incident, even without direct orders from Cheng Xiao Xiao, Old Man Ying voluntarily surveilled around the Cheng’s every day, three times a day – morning, afternoon, evening, to ensure the safety to Sacred Land Zhongyuan.
Seeing his creepy look, it wasn’t difficult for Cheng Xiao Xiao to figure out what it was that he was after. She rolled her eyes and said, “You want more Jade Bee Honey again, huh?”
“HEHEHE, Miss is so smart Ever since I have drunk that Jade Bee Honey, I even felt a few years younger. That feeling was incredible. So, do you have more Miss? Will you reward me some more of it?”
With the exception of Old Man Ying, nobody else dare to ask rewards from Cheng Xiao Xiao. Everybody looked at him enviously.
The few elders who have had the Jade Bee Honey already had first hand experience with its effects, especially the abbess of Yuni Sect. The effect was the most obvious. Before she had consumed the Jade Bee Honey, she was already so weak that she felt she could pass away at any moment; the honey had undoubtedly made her felt that her life had been extended and she revived her hope. All the more she understood how precious the Jade Bee Honey from Cheng Xiao Xiao was!
“Alright, only because you have been working so hard lately. I’ll give you two bottles, ration them wisely!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao causally tossed him a couple of bottles, making Old Man Ying burst out into a big smile, “Thank you, Miss. HEHE, this stuff is so delicious!”
Everybody else could just look at how happy Old Man Ying was. As envious as they were, they didn’t feel comfortable asking for them from Cheng Xiao Xiao. After all, they have been staying at the Cheng’s for free already.
“Maiden Cheng, I am wondering if you are willing to sell the Jade Bee Honey that you have in hand?” Zhu Bo was well aware of the effect of the Jade Bee Honey; the first thing in his mind was to sell them.
Cheng Xiao Xiao sat down and gave him a look, “I am not selling them. I barely have enough for ourselves, it doesn’t make sense for me to sell them.”
If she really wanted to sell them, she probably could. After all, King Bee had provided her with quite a bit of honey, but she wasn’t into selling them as of yet. Or, at least she’d wait till the next public sale, that way she could fetch a much better price.
Not wanting to talk about business right now, Cheng Xiao Xiao turned her attention to the few elders. They were the elders from the Top 9 Sects, including Elder Lin and Elder Quan whom she had met previously.
“All, you can let me know the purpose of your visit now. Frankly, anything that you may need, you can also talk to my dad or Manager Zhou,” said Cheng Xiao Xiao nonchalantly.
Everybody else quieted down to listen to their conversation.
Elder Lin smiled bitterly and told her about his purpose directly, “Maiden Cheng, truth be told, we all know that Elder Ying was able to breakthrough from apex martial emperor to martial monarch with Maiden Cheng’s help. We are willing to pay the same price and hope that you will give us the same assistance as well!”
“Is that it?”
Cheng Xiao Xiao’s mannerism was much colder than before. She looked at everyone in front of her coldly without showing too much emotions.
“Yes!”
Everybody exchanged a look and nodded.
“I am sorry. I won’t be able to help you right now.” Cheng Xiao Xiao pointed at the few old monsters and said, “They had already sent me a ton of resources and I have yet to be able to help them. Don’t you think I will be able to help you?”
“Ugh!”
Nobody expected that from Cheng Xiao Xiao. Not only were Elder Lin and the rest were speechless, even the several old monsters were surprised.
“Please just don’t follow the trend for the time being. I can’t make any promises right now. If I am not able to deliver what I promised, I worry about my consequence.”
“…..”
“Is that all?” asked Cheng Xiao Xiao again when nobody else said anything else.
