“Sigh, it really is unfortunate. Nanny Feng had even summoned those reputed gardeners among the populace into the palace. But they were still unable to save this jasper begonia. Sigh…”
“Her Majesty the Queen Dowager is going to be in a poor mood. We should be more cautious these few days.”
“Nanny Feng told us to toss this pot of flowers further away. This is far enough, right.”
“Sigh, just leave it.”
After setting down that pot of jasper begonia, they heaved deep sighs as they walked away with drooping heads.
Qiao Mu trotted up to the jasper begonia and studied it carefully. Suddenly, she stretched out her fair, petite hand, hovering it above the begonia’s withered and shriveled leaves.
It was only a moment before those leaves unfurled with a new lease of life, turning from yellow to green.
Newly-grown leaves sprouted from the floral axis.
Suddenly, a flower bud shot out from under the green leaves. After that followed a second and a third…
Several buds that had grouped into a cluster bloomed simultaneously.
Asi, who had trailed after her, was in a trance as he stared at that petite figure’s back. At this moment, he felt his sight flooded by a verdant bloom.
The faint emerald begonia flowers, contrasted against the dark green leaves, simply created a feast for the eyes.
Qiao Mu retracted her petite hands. While tilting her head, she observed this jasper begonia that was now brimming with vitality before picking it up into her arms.
Gonna take it back to Grandmother!
After making up her mind, the little fellow turned around to head to Longevity Palace. However, she nearly collided into Asi, who had quickly strode over.
“What’s with you??” Darling Qiao frowned in dislike, and she stepped backward.
Asi’s pupils contracted.
Dressed in a blue-green dress, this little lady was carrying a pot of brilliantly blooming begonia flowers. Yet her fair complexion that was comparable to snow was no less inferior to that pot of begonia flowers she was holding.
“Are you deaf? Even though I told you to stop, the more I called you the faster you fled??” Asi quickly averted his gaze and shouted at Qiao Mu in chagrin, “You purposefully pretended not to have heard me, right?”
Qiao Mu shot him a cold glance. “Please make way!”
“You haven’t answered my question yet!!” Asi reached out angrily to grab her wrist.
However, Qiao Mu gave him a stomp, fiercely hitting his black boot.
“Fussy!” Who had the leisure to talk nonsense with this guy.
Yet instead of getting angry, Asi laughed instead. “You really think that no one can do anything to you?”
As soon as he said this, he grabbed Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu sensed a vigorous force assaulting her. Even though she was startled, she evaded by side-stepping to the back. Afterwards, a hint of anger immediately emerged in her eyes.
Originally, she did not even want to wrangle with this guy, but he insisted on picking a bone with her.
Since that was the case, then she would… Teach! Him! A! Lesson!
Consequently, Qiao Mu put that pot of jasper begonia into her inner world before summoning her ferule from her conscious pool. She jumped into the air and smashed the ferule down on Asi’s head.
“You woman! Again?” This scene evoked a great sense of familiarity in Asi’s mind.
You scoundrel! Asi met her attack with a mystic energy palm strike. However, it was instantly neutralized by the mystic energy that the little stoic brandished from her ferule.
The collision from these two waves of mystic energy caused a considerable energy fluctuation in the small garden.
Qiao Mu pressed down her hand to erect a defensive boundary, protecting the nearby flowers and grasses from harm.
A streak of fire as thick as a person’s wrist suddenly spat out from her ferule and targeted Asi’s chest, catching him off guard.
