Ch149 - The Liu Family

A few days later, Wang Yujiao’s family of four came to visit Liu Mufeng’s courtyard.

“Fifth Uncle, Fifth Aunt, Cousins.” Seeing the group coming, Liu Mufeng greeted the family lightly.

“Mufeng, your Aunt specially made you your favorite flower cake.” After speaking, Wang Yujiao put four plates of cakes on the table.

Seeing that the cakes on the table were exactly the same as those made by the Fourth Aunt, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help frowning. He understood that this Fifth Aunt had secretly learned the craftsmanship of the Fourth Aunt. “Fifth Aunt, I’m already forty-two years old. I’m no longer a five-year or six-year-old child. I’m already past the age of eating flower cakes.”

The Fourth Aunt’s flower cake was engraved in his heart with a passage that only belonged to her and the original owner’s memory. A familial love between an Aunt and a nephew. As for this Fifth Aunt, she had never even seen the original owner’s face, but she thought by imitating others she could gain favor. This was really amusing.

“Ah, you, don’t you like to eat it?” Wang Yujiao was very embarrassed when she heard this, and thought to herself:She clearly saw that the Fourth Sister often made such flower cakes and sent them over? Why doesn’t Mufeng like to eat it?

“Mufeng, it’s not long since you left seclusion, how was your rest?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the Fifth Uncle asked with concern.

“Many thanks to Fifth Uncle for your concern, I have had a good rest.” Liu Mufeng said with a smile.

“Mufeng, to tell you the truth, your Uncle and Aunt came to the auction this time to wash the spiritual roots of your Cousins. However, there will be many forces at the auction, and your Uncle was worried that they would not be able to bid for the spiritual root washing quota. So I brought your Aunt here to discuss it with you, and see if you can wash your Cousin’s spiritual roots in private?” After speaking, Father Liu took out a storage ring and handed it to Liu Mufeng.

Taking it over, Liu Mufeng glanced at it and found that there were only 420 million spirit stones in the storage ring. The reserve price of one place for washing spiritual roots was 300 million, and the reserve price of two was 600 million. The 420 million was a 30% discount of 600 million. It’s quite a small amount.

“Uncle, Aunt, you two should go to the auction to bid for a quota.” After speaking, Liu Mufeng directly put the storage ring in his hand on the table.

It was not that he couldn’t give some benefits to the original owner’s relatives. After all, he also occupied the body of the original owner and could appropriately help the original owner’s relatives. However, the premise was that the other party must be worthy of his help. Just like the Fang family, the Fourth Uncle gave him so many gifts, but he never asked him to wash the roots of his Cousin. It wasXiaoXu who mentioned it, and even the Fourth Aunt was a little reluctant to accept his offer. The Fourth Uncle took out one billion spirit stones directly, and even felt a little embarrassed that there were only so few spirit stones. But these two, the husband and wife couple, were really thick skinned. They opened their mouths to ask for two places, but only would give him 420 million spirit stones. Were they kidding him?

“Uh, this, this…” Seeing Liu Mufeng’s gloomy face, Father Liu looked at his wife in embarrassment.

“Mufeng, don’t be so heartless, Fourth Sister andXiaoYa have already washed their spiritual roots, how come you can just ignore your Cousins?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Wang Yujiao begged softly.

“Mufeng, didn’t you say you would give the Wang family a 30% discount? Your Aunt is also from the Wang family? Why are you saying we are taking advantage of you?”

“The 30% discount I’m talking about is 30% off the transaction price, not 30% off the reserve price. Moreover, I also told my Grandfather that after the auction, I will not wash the spiritual roots of anyone again. That is to say, even if the Wang family takes the 30% discount on the transaction price, I won’t wash spiritual roots again. Does the Fifth Aunt understand? ”

“This, this…” Upon hearing this, Wang Yujiao’s face was particularly ugly.

“My family’s Mufeng is going to refine pills now, please escort yourselves out.” Looking at the family of four, Jiang Xu immediately issued an order to evict the guests.

“Cousin Mufeng, if you think there are too few spirit stones, we can add more.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Liu Shen continued to fight without giving up.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Cousin, to tell you the truth, it’s not the problem about spirit stones. It’s that I don’t want to wash spiritual roots for too many people. After all, I don’t want too many geniuses in the Lingwu Continent because of me.”

Three years later, in the selection for Zunhuang Continent, whoever had the innate single spiritual root and who has the acquired single spiritual root, would be tested out, so Liu Mufeng must strictly control the number of people getting their spiritual roots washed. Otherwise he might not get the chance to go to Zunhuang Continent at that time. If the higher continent cultivators noticed something amiss on why this low level continent suddenly had too many single spiritual roots sprouting left and right, it would be very troublesome for him.

Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, Liu Shen’s face was very ugly. In fact, their Grandfather had already once said that Mufeng didn’t want to wash the spiritual roots of too many people, and he didn’t want to have too many geniuses like him. When Grandfather had mentioned the matter, Liu Shen didn’t feel anything. But now hearing Liu Mufeng say these words, Liu Shen felt quite desperate.

“Mufeng, think of it as your Aunt begging you, isn’t it alright for your Aunt to beg you? Could you wash your Cousin’s spiritual roots? Okay, Mufeng?” Wang Yujiao pleaded softly while pulling on Liu Mufeng’s sleeve.

Liu Mufeng indifferently pulled away his sleeves from Wang Yujiao’s hand. “I am going to repeat myself, if Aunt wants to get a slot to wash Cousins’ spiritual roots, buy it at the auction. Please leave.”

“This, this…” Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, Wang Yujiao was very unwilling. Why did her sister get two places, but she couldn’t even get one even if she begged, why, why?

“Let’s go!” Holding his wife, Father Liu embarrassedly left the courtyard with his family.

*****

Back in Wang Yujiao’s yard, the Liu family of four sat together sullenly.

Seeing her Son with a strange and ugly face, Wang Yujiao felt distressed. “Shen’er, don’t worry, Mother will go to your Fourth Aunt tomorrow, Liu Mufeng listens to the Fourth Sister’s words the most, and I’ll ask the Fourth Sister to come forward and request on our behalf.”

Hearing this, Liu Shen coldly pushed away his Mother’s hand. “I asked you to give Liu Mufeng 1.2 billion spirit stones, why did you only offer him 420 million? Tell me why?”

“This, this…” Wang Yujiao felt a little guilty when she heard this.

“Your Mother said that your Fourth Aunt didn’t spend a single spirit stone, and the two mother and daughter have washed their spiritual roots. She said that Mufeng would want less for the sake of kinship.” Looking at his Son, Father Liu said helplessly. He had also felt that it was inappropriate to take only 420 million spirit stones, but his wife insisted on doing so, what could he do?

Hearing this, Liu Shen’s entire face distorted, and he looked at his Mother angrily. “You? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to compare with the Fourth Aunt? From Liu Mufeng’s five to eighteen years old, the Fourth Aunt gave Liu Mufeng five thousand spirit stones every year. During the early years, the Fourth Aunt also went to Shuangyang Town five times to visit Liu Mufeng. What about you? Have you ever taken care of Liu Mufeng? Why do you compare yourself to others, and what qualifications do you have to compare to others?”

“I, I was thinking, Liu Mufeng is also my Nephew! Then I, then I…”

“What are you thinking about? What did I tell you? Liu Mufeng was ruthless and heartless in the secret realm. He didn’t even want to take a look at the brothers of the Wang family, let alone us? Why did you, why didn’t you take out all the spirit stones? Why?” Looking at his Mother, Liu Shen asked angrily.

“Son, don’t worry, your Mother will help you. Mother will definitely help you wash your spiritual roots.” Looking at her Son, Wang Yujiao hurriedly coaxed him.

Looking at his Mother with red eyes, Liu Shen felt particularly aggrieved in his heart. He always had a hunch that if he missed the opportunity today, he would always be a double spirit root in his life!

“Brother, don’t worry, don’t we have the Fourth Aunt? We can go ask the Fourth Aunt!” Looking at her Elder Brother, Liu Feifei said cautiously.

Liu Shen turned his head and slapped his little sister’s face and shouted. “It’s all your fault, it’s all because of you, who has more than enough stupidity and pride in yourself. If you didn’t offend Jiang Xu in the secret realm, how could we have been left behind?” As far as he knew, Liu Mufeng originally was only planning to wash Fourth Aunt’s spiritual roots. He did not mention Fang Ya at all. It was Jiang Xu who mentioned Fang Ya, and Fang Ya got the opportunity to wash her roots as well. Jiang Xu and Liu Mufeng had been married for many years, and their relationship was very good. If it wasn’t for the fact that his sister had offended Jiang Xu earlier in the secret realm, he could have gotten Jiang Xu’s help, but unfortunately, this path has been blocked! Unfortunately blocked!

“Brother!” Covering her smarting face, Liu Feifei shed tears in grievance. In fact, ever since she knew that Jiang Xu had become a Spiritual King Realm cultivator, she had always been afraid. Every day that she lived in the Wang family, she trembled in fright, afraid that Jiang Xu would slap her to death.

“Shen’er,what are you doing? What are you doing?” Looking at her Son, Wang Yujiao exclaimed helplessly.

“Shen’er,don’t worry, if it’s a big deal, let’s just go to the auction and buy it, your Father will definitely help you buy a slot.” Looking at his Son, Father Liu comforted softly.

“I’ll go back to my room first.” After looking at his parents and his crying sister, Liu Shen left indifferently.

Covering her hurt face, Liu Feifei also cried and ran back to her room.

“Oh, it’s all because of you. Look at your Son who is angry because of your meddling.” Father Liu complained when he looked at his wife.

“I, how did I think that this little wolf cub would be so heartless? Was I not trying to save you some spirit stones? Don’t you still want to buy a Spiritual King Pill?” Looking at her husband, Wang Yujiao said helplessly.Didn’t she do it for her husband?

“My business is not important, Shen’er‘s business is more important! If he can’t become a single spiritual root, it will be impossible for him to go to Zunhuang Continent after three years.” Single spiritual root cultivator was one of the basic requirements for selection, therefore, if you wanted to have the chance to go to the Zunhuang Continent, you must have a single spiritual root.

“Don’t worry, I will find a way. I will not disappoint our son.” Wang Yujiao said while gritting her teeth.

“Hopefully.” Seeing Liu Mufeng today, Father Liu felt that this matter might be more difficult than he imagined.
