Chapter 816: 816: Dumbfounded Guests
After Yue Xuexia had left, the chaos within the hall of the Stargazing Tower didn’t stop. Those who had witnessed how that veiled woman turned a cultivator from the Thousand Vines Sect into a pile of ashes were all terrified. No one would have expected that such a young lady was that capable. But the fact that might be from that Regal Clan made them wonder if they would be allowed to come visit her. After all, there is a clan that can control lightning. There is only one in this world and they are one of the ancient clans and once among the royal bloods. That’s why even though they feared her due to what happened they still wanted to approach her. On the other hand, the Stargazing Tower owner was delighted with what he had witnessed.
Pei Xiu mumbles, "No wonder she wanted to know the information about the Lightning Ancient God’s Abode. But if she is truly a member of that Regal Clan there is no need to gather information as that clan knows more about that place. Just who you truly are."
"Tower Master, what should we do?" The receptionist asked.
Pei Xiu responded, "Since the downpayment had been paid then we must also fulfill what I have said. Gather all information about the Lightning Ancient God Abode. Also, for tomorrow as the chef to make a takeaway flower dessert women love."
"Yes, Tower Master!" The receptionist said.
As for the Stargazing Tower owner, he immediately went to his private room on the upper floor and found a way to have someone check the pill before sending it to his father. He also tried to ask someone to check the information of Yue Xuexia. Unfortunately, most information the moment Yue Xuexia arrived in this town had been erased under the orders of the Great General of the Immortal Sun Empire, Taiyang.
Meanwhile, Yue Xuexia and the children after they finished their shopping were picked up by their carriage and headed home without problems. They didn’t even know that after they left, rumors about them had spread all over the town that even the town leader had heard about them. Unfortunately, the courtyard where they are in is almost impossible to be found as it was covered with a special formation that only allowed those who were invited to find it. With this town, she had only allowed the visit of the people from the Stargazing tower and only them could find her courtyard.
The next morning, while the children were playing around in the garden, Yue Xuexia in one of the mansion’s rooms which she transformed into a Pill Refinement room was busy making some pills to replenish what she had in stock. Ever since meeting the owner of the Stargazing Tower, she realized that her pills, especially the Longevity Pills, are considered rare products in this world.
It didn’t take long for the room to be filled with pills rolling and flying round inside the room. The children would sometimes drop by to get some snacks after playing even so, the pills inside seem to be endless.
One can hear the Moon Goddess mumbling in the room,
"Eh? Did I add the wrong herb again? Why did my Longevity Pills turn into a Birth Pill?"
"But I’m sure I added the right one..."
"Did the brats throw something weird in my pot?"
Yue Xuexia said as she controlled the pot and peek inside as she expected an extra Phoenix Rebirth Grass was added in. She massages her temples thinking that one of the children might have accidentally thrown a pill inside.
Sigh~
"Forget it. Let’s just make this pill and hide it immediately. It would be bad if the children accidentally ate one," murmured the Moon Goddess.
[A/n: A Birth Pill is a pill that allows a same sex couple to have children. This pill is so rare that a lot of cultivators in this world wanted it. However, its effects are not permanent. Its effects would only last for three to five years at most.]
While Yue Xuexia was busy with pill refining, the children at the garden were swimming in the small pond. The water of this pond was replaced by Yue Xuexia with Immortal Mountain Dew which is good for nourishing skin, and has anti-aging and beautifying effects.
Splash!
Yue Zhiya and Yue Hualei were jumping around the water. Thankfully, this pond had some kind of depth and they won’t get hurt. Moreover, with Yue Huashui around they would never drown. The children were happily playing around the pond when they heard someone knock on the door of their house.
"Gege, we have visitors!" Yue Zhiya said. "I will open the door for them!"
He ran out of the pond with a swimming ring around him and headed to the gate. After sensing that the guests were the ones from that tower, Yue Zhiya opened the door. Outside the door were a group of three with a familiar face leading them. It was the Stargazing Tower owner, Pei Xiu, and two of his subordinates carrying some gifts. However, they were surprised when they saw that the one who opened the door was only a boy that seemed to be playing around in the water seeing how soaking wet he was.
Pei Xiu calmed down and smiled at the boy, "Hello, young master. Is Miss Yuelei in?"
"You are looking for my aunt? Then you must be from that tower. Please come inside. The puppets will send you in. I’m going to play now!" Yue Zhiya said as he ran off to back to the pond to where his siblings are.
Before Pei Xiu could stop them, a few puppet maids appeared out of nowhere and welcomed the guests.
"Guests, please follow us to the hall," the puppet maid said.
Pei Xiu was still looking in the direction where Yue Zhiya had disappeared to as he seemed to have smelled some kind of treasure coming from the water that was on him.
He mumbles, "Immortal Mountain Dew?"
Even though this Immortal Mountain Dew isn’t rare, it still caused a lot. Most of it was used for Pill Refinement especially for making Beauty Pills. How can it be used as a swimming pool for children?
Pei Xiu, defeated by his curiosity, couldn’t help but ask, "Hello, do you know where that young master left just now?"
"Young Lord Zhiya is at the side garden swimming with the other young lords and young misses in a pond. The Mistress said, "It’s getting too hot recently and made them a pond to play in."
"Guests, this way please," the maid said.
Though dumbfounded, Pei Xiu still followed the puppet maid together with his subordinate. They were brought to the receiving hall where the maid served some tea and snacks for them to enjoy. The moment the tea was served on their cup, they were stunned to realize that it was made of high grade Spiritual Tea which greatly increased one’s comprehension. The snacks weren’t ordinary as well as this lotus leaves were from high grade one making the snack wrapped with it had the ability to increase resistance to a few elements.
The more Pei Xiu and his group see, the more dumbfounded they are. Looking around this receiving hall, the materials of this humble looking mansion are a hundred times more expensive than the tower itself. They couldn’t help but nervously gulp, this kind of low keyed luxury Pei Xiu had only seen it to the big empires and sects in the Core Haven. Moreover, the investigation result on Yue Xuexia didn’t yield much except for the fact that there are rumors saying that people had seen the Great General of the Immortal Sun Empire coming for a visit in this small courtyard.
The information about these rumors were so scattered that the rumors were mostly fake. But as someone from a family who is an expert with information gathering, he had a feeling that the rumors were most likely true. This means that this young lady, Miss Yuelei might also have a connection to the Immortal Sun Empire.
The puppet maids said, "Please wait here for a bit. We will inform the Mistress about your arrival."
Pei Xie nodded his head and just enjoyed what was served in front of him. As for his two subordinates, they are too nervous to move anything on the table. This is something none of them can buy on their own and most of these things on the table was something only those of nobles from the Core Haven can have.
"Tower Master, can we truly... drink and eat these?"
"They won’t ask us to pay, right?"
"It’s served to the guests of course it’s free," a puppet maid waiting for orders at the side said. "Moreover, these are just common things in this home."
"Common things?!"
"These are normally served in this house everyday?"
The puppet maid looked at the two subordinates from the Stargazing Tower with confusion in her eyes and said, "Yes."
This response left the guest dumbfounded. Such luxury, it was enjoyed by the people of this small courtyard like this.
