A long stretch of silence followed her words. Everyone's gaze darted towards Fang Yu then at the beautiful Ariana. They immediately realized that no matter where they looked at it, Ariana was more beautiful than Fang Yu. Her mature body with the right curves was more alluring too. Just watching this beauty made most men gulped their saliva that was threatening to flow out of their open mouths.
"The master can do whatever he wanted," Ariana said as she lowered her head, not daring to look at Fang Yu. Her cheeks reddened at the mention of the word concubine. With her head lowered, Ariana looked like a pitiful maiden, immediately attracting the pity of most men. Isn't she a lost princess? Isn't she just so pitiful?
"Hmmm." Mo Li nodded, his pose was still languid and relaxed. But not a hint of happiness can be seen in his handsome face. "Since you would do everything that I want. Go and make a cave in the eight mountains. Make it big— big enough for a dragon to rest."
Hearing this, Ariana smiled. "This servant understands."
"Hmmm." Mo Li waved his hands and a set of tools immediately landed in front of Ariana. "You have no magic or Qi so you can use this to dig."
Ariana raised her head to look at Mo Li, confusion flashed in her eyes. "Master… Master wanted Ariana to dig?" She was expecting Mo Li to just carve out the ground for her! She was expecting him to use this as an excuse to actually build a cave for her!
"If you are not going to dig… then how are you going to make a cave?" Mo Li sighed and looked at the Elder whose face had turned dark. "This female servant is not only dumb. She doesn't even have Qi. Are you trying to insult my Eight Palms Sect? How dare you give something without even magic? Do you want anyone in my Eight Palms Sect to help her as she does tasks?"
"…" The Elder was speechless at the turn of events. "Elder Mo… this Princess is not used to doing tasks like that." They trained her to become good in bed! Not dig soil!
"Ah? Then that means she is useless." Mo Li let out a sigh. "It seems that Frozen Wraith Sect thought that they can just bully our Eight Palms Sect by sending a servant that cannot even dig the soil. They are clearly looking down on us."
"Elder Mo! That … that was never our intention. This Princess was trained to do everything that their master wanted them to do."
"And I want her to dig soil, carry rocks and pound sand. As the master, she should follow my commands. Is there something wrong with my words? Elder?" Mo Li tilted his head, looking extremely arrogant. "We from the Eight Palms Sect are righteous and kind. Therefore, I will not kill this useless woman in front of you." He looked at Ariana who was trembling in front of him. "Go! Pound sand and dig some soil." Then his gaze turned towards the disciples and other people who gave Ariana a lecherous gaze. "Anyone who will help you do the tasks that I told you to do… will die." He gave a sinister smile before he leaned towards Fang Yu, kissing her temple. "A horrible death." He added.
"Husband… you are scaring the poor Ariana." Fang Yu pouted. With her small frame, pouting made her look cuter. "How could you just give her tools to dig the soil. You should give her tools for gardening too! How about my herbs?"
"Oh!" As if realizing his mistakes, Mo Li waved his hands and gardening tools appeared next to Ariana. "Go plant some herbs too."
"Husband… the dragon. I want it to eat pills and drink potions so we needed more herbs."
Mo Li immediately turned towards Ariana. "Plant more herbs or you will die."
The hall was so silent, it seemed that most people stopped breathing when they heard the couple's words. They wanted a beautiful maiden to dig soil and plant herbs? Isn't she supposed to become a concubine?
"Elder Mo… this…" The Elder from the Frozen Wraith Sect never thought that something like this would happen. Any man would kill to have this beauty by their side and yet, Elder Mo wanted her to act like a servant?
"Is there something that you wanted to say?" Mo Li said.
"Elder Mo… Princess Ariana would not be able to do such a thing. Her body is weak and…"
"Oh? Weak?" Mo Li lifted an eyebrow. "So… you are indeed looking down on my Sect. Gifting someone that doesn't even know how to plant." He clicked his tongue. "If that is the case. What is the use of providing food for someone who can't even do basic chores? This woman deserved death."
"Elder Mo! What are you doing!? This Princess is a gift from my Sect!"
"This gift shows how much you look down on our Sect!" Fang Yu chimed in. "Many gave these magic treasures and thousand-year-old medicines and yet you dare gift us a useless woman without any Qi, Magic, and the ability to work. What is the meaning of this?"
The Elder from the Frozen Sect gritted his teeth. For the sake of the Sect Master's face, there was no way that he would tell them they gifted this woman to become a concubine. He knew that everyone here is already aware of that. That is supposed to be common knowledge, a part of logic. But this Elder Fang and Mo Li are both scheming.
They easily turned the situation around and even made it look like the Frozen Wraith Sect was looking down on their Sect.
"Elder… when you gave us the gift you clearly said that we can do as we see fit. Does this mean that those words were not sincere at all?" Mo Li only smirked.
"I— "
"I see… so the Frozen Wraith Sect is like this." Fang Yu's lips thinned. "This is such an eye-opener." She let out a dramatic sigh. "Since you think that we are not capable masters then just take the gift back and give it to Xiawen Dong. I heard he just lost two of his wives. Having a beauty like this by his side would surely make him feel better."
"You—"
