Forsaken Immortals Chapter 27

"I see," Bai Rouyun was not insulted, nor was she annoyed, she just smiled.
Mo Chu was sure that she was going to use his rank as a Blue Realm practitioner to pressure them, but the next words from Bai Rouyun shocked everyone present.
"You think that a mere Thousand Treasure Pavilion will stop me? Even Xue Jingyu from Shitian Tower would give me some respect if he were here right now."
The eyes of the floor manager turned round in shock and fear. Only the upper echelons of the cultivation world knew that the Thousand Treasure Pavilion belonged to Shitian Tower.
Even fewer knew the name of the young master of the Shitian Tower. Xue Jingyu preferred to be a low key and casual person. Only a few people outside of their organization knew of his name, while everyone within the entire Shitian Tower knew of him.
This woman, however, said that even Xue Jingyu would show her respect. Who was she to say such brazen words?
The reason that Bai Rouyun dared to say such brazen words was because she had some friendship with Xue Jingyu before. She knew that he would not get mad at her for using his name to threaten an annoying floor manager in a small Empire.
Then again, Xue Jingyu was likely sure that she had died that day on top of the mountain. Suddenly she felt a bit sad. He was one of the few people she considered her friends before, but she had died, had he missed her?
Thinking of that, she looked at the floor manager, "fetch some paper and a brush for me," she said.
Hearing that she knew of Xue Jingyu, the manager dared not hesitate and rushed to get a brush and paper. Seeing it, a smile flickered on her attractive face, and she quickly drew a rabbit. Then she wrote on top of it, 'Brother Rabbit, Sister Fox misses you'.

Looking at the drawing and the words, no one knew what it meant, but Bai Rouyun said nothing. "Bring this to Xue Jingyu," she ordered.
Although she and Xue Jingyu were good friends, there was nothing romantic between them. In the beginning, Xue Jingyu had fallen for Bai Rouyun, but because of her personality, he quickly gave up, and they became best friends instead.
The floor manager was somewhat uncertain as to what the relationship between this woman and his master was, but he dared not belittle her any longer.
The Crown Prince also understood a few things from the conversation between the floor manager and this woman. First of all, was the shocking knowledge that the Shitian Tower was behind the Thousand Treasure Pavilion.
Secondly, a significant person within the Shitian Tower was named Xue Jingyu.
Thirdly, this woman knew of many secrets, so she was worthy of being his backer.
Paying for one slice of the Blood Ginseng was worth it if it could get her backing.
As he came to this conclusion, the Crown Prince looked at the woman with a fervent expression on his face.
"Manager Zhou, please sell her a slice of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng."
While all this was happening, Mo Chu was standing behind Bai Rouyun. His eyes were narrowed dangerously. How could a dumb woman know of Xue Jingyu? He knew of him because his master had encountered him a few times.
But this woman, how could she possibly know about it. It seemed that she had many secrets that were still unexposed, but he would explain this to Li Moyun in detail, when they got back home. Then his master could decide what to do with the woman.
After hearing that the Crown Prince agreed to pay, the floor manager had nothing more to say.

He instructed some of the sales assistants to find the herbs and seeds, while he himself went to pick up a slice of the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng.
Not long after, the floor manager was back with a jade box in which the slice was placed. He was aware of the price, but when he thought of her attitude, he also knew that it was nothing big for her.
Blood Ginseng was known to be one of the most common herbs in the world. The only reason it was worthy of attention was that it was a thousand-year-old herb.
Even so, it was nothing special to Bai Rouyun. In her previous life, she had once encountered ten-thousand-year-old herbs, it was nothing to see herbs of a thousand years, and she would not have paid it any mind if her little Xiao Bao wouldn't have mentioned it.
After receiving the herbs, seeds, and jade box, a smile adorned her lips, and she seemed much softer than before.
The hearts of everyone started beating rapidly; even Mo Chu was stunned by her at that moment.
"In that case, I will leave the payment to his Royal Highness," Bai Rouyun said with a smile. "I will now excuse myself."
Having said that, Bai Rouyun vanished from their sights. From the beginning, till now, it took a long time for the others to get their minds back, and when they did, Mo Chu was shocked and hurried after her. If something happened to his madam, even if she had a lot of secrets, then he would still be punished!
At the same time, the floor manager excused himself, took the drawing that Bai Rouyun had made, and hurried to the highest floor of the Thousand Treasure Pavilion to speak with the branch head.
He had to announce what had happened, not to mention only the branch head could send the drawing to the Shitian Tower's main house and Xue Jingyu.

The rightful Luna
*'I-I am sorry your highness I touched ...!' She was trying to apologize, but she fell silent as she could not utter with her mouth that she accidentally touched his lips.'But I am not sorry!' He said calmly looking straight at her. What was she supposed to say after hearing his words?'I did not mean to touch your highness's ...' she said with great difficulty.'That was not a touch.' He said not permitting her to brush it off as an accident, even though it clearly was.'It was a kiss.' He said with a hoarse determined voice.She widened her eyes, as her face flushed even more than it did when she realized what she had done. He dared to say the word she avoided.'That was not! I...' she tried to refute. 'What is a kiss Celia?' She could not answer. How could she say the definition of a kiss with her own mouth, it would only confirm his words.*'It was an accident. I am truly sorry, I did not mean any discourtesy towards your highness. If I can make up for my error somehow?' She quickly said. She did not know of his personal life, as he had a tight security around him and nobody knew much of the king outside official visits and business. He must have felt insulted.'Please don't call it an accident. For a first kiss of a person to be called an accident ...' He said again with a dejected tone, but did not continue. It was like he had already gotten his point across.'Ahhh. I am so sorry! It really was an ...' She wanted to say accident but, because of his pleading she could not actually say it. To have committed the blame of taking the king's first kiss and then not acknowledging it, how would he think of her?At this point she did not even realize that their roles had reversed, or that it was her first kiss also.PS: If you like loyal mates... then please proceed further :D
