As if sensing Murong Zhen's thoughts, Rong Zi very 'understandingly' repeated their bet to him.
“You just said that if I could make all the spiritual plants I just picked grow back, I could take anything from this Cloud Mist Island.”
Murong Zhen's expression stiffened slightly. "Did I...did I say that?"
Rong Zi smiled and replied, "You do."
She rubbed her hands together. "Now, can I take anything from this Cloud Mist Island without any restrictions?"
Murong Zhen: "..."
He is now filled with regret!
Why did he bet with Rong Zi for no reason?
That's great!
We're going to lose everything!
Murong Zhen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and asked in return, "What do you want to take?"
Rong Zi smiled so much that her eyes almost squinted into slits.
"Don't worry, I'm a very kind person, I would never take more than my share."
Murong Zhen's lips twitched as he listened.
I don't believe you for a second!
He had a premonition that his entire Cloud Mist Island was going to suffer this time.
As expected.
Rong Zi waved his hand and gave each of his seven apprentices a huge basket.
“Disciples, take a look and see if there are any spiritual plants in these spiritual fields that you like. If there are, just tell your master and I will pick them for you.”
Yun Jing glanced at the basket in front of him, which was almost taller than him, and blinked blankly.
"Can I take everything?"
Rong Zi replied, "Of course, this is something that the Alliance Leader's great-grandfather promised in person. He is the dignified Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance, so naturally he is the most trustworthy person. He said that I can take whatever I want, and he will never go back on his word."
As she spoke, she tilted her little face up and asked Murong Zhen with a smile.
"Isn't that right, Great-Grandfather, Alliance Leader?"
Murong Zhen's face had turned completely green.
Can he say no?
So next, Murong Zhen watched as Rong Zi, like a little bandit, practically ransacked his entire spiritual field.
He watched helplessly, feeling as if his heart was bleeding...
"Yun Jing, this Thunder Yin Grass is quite good. I can use it to refine Thunder Spirit Pills for you, which will allow you to rapidly increase your cultivation level in a short period of time, and it has no side effects on your body."
Rong Zi put the Lei Yin Grass into Yun Jing's basket.
"These golden stamen flowers are also good. They can be taken directly during cultivation and are very useful for cultivators with golden spiritual roots."
Rong Zi put the golden stamen flowers into Gu Xiaochui's basket.
"This plant..."
Murong Zhen couldn't bear to listen any longer and barely managed to restrain himself from kicking Rong Zi out of his spiritual field.
He is the leader of the alliance.
His word is his bond!
You must keep your promises!
so……
He endured it!
However, watching Rong Zi pick those spiritual plants one after another, his heart ached terribly!
His precious spiritual plant...
By the time Rong Zi finally finished his sweep, Murong Zhen's spiritual fields were practically reduced to just roots.
Murong Zhen looked at his empty spirit field.
It felt as if my heart had gone empty along with it.
This is what you call absolutely not taking more than you need?!
Moreover, after the harvest was finished, Rong Zi ran up to him excitedly.
"Great-grandfather, am I good to you? I've left all my roots for you, and they'll grow back in the future."
Murong Zhen almost vomited blood.
"Thank you so much!"
Rong Zi waved her hand, "Oh dear, look at you, why are you being so polite?"
Murong Zhen: "..."
It's true what they say, you meet all sorts of people when you live long enough.
In all his years, this was the first time he had ever seen someone with such a thick skin!
Murong Zhen took several deep breaths, trying to reassure himself.
The roots are still there; as long as he has more patience, they will grow back.
For a cultivator of his level, even several hundred years is but a fleeting moment.
He wasn't angry!
Don't be angry, don't be angry...
However, just as Murong Zhen was frantically trying to comfort himself, Rong Zi suddenly came up to him again and said something meaningful.
"By the way, I saw that you have a treasure vault on this island. Could you open it and let us take a look around?"
As soon as Rong Zi finished speaking, he immediately ignited Murong Zhen's anger.
How could I not be angry!
He was furious!
With a stern face, he met Rong Zi's gaze and said through gritted teeth, "This is too much! You've practically drained my spirit field bald, and you're still not satisfied?"
They actually set their sights on his treasure vault!
Rong Zi must have been a robber in his past life, the kind who would plunder every feather that passed by!
Rong Zi blinked innocently, "Is Grandfather Alliance Leader going to break his promise, go back on his word, and betray his trust?"
Murong Zhen: "..."
"Sigh, it seems I overestimated your character. Even the leader of the alliance can break his word. Fine, if you don't want to keep your promise, I won't force you."
As Rong Zi was speaking, she suddenly changed the subject.
"However, I'm in a bad mood right now, which might affect the quality of the pill refining later. If the Vitality Pill isn't of good quality, your hair might..."
"Open it! I didn't say I wouldn't let you open the treasure vault, did I?"
Murong Zhen, thinking of the hair he had been longing for, gritted his teeth in anger. "Open it! I'll open it for you right now. Take whatever you want from inside, is that alright?"
Rong Zi's eyes flickered slightly, her face full of innocent harmlessness, "Really?"
