Chapter 215: Taking Credit
Xing and the Emperor were walking in the Jasmine garden near the Earth Emperor’s courtyard and the strong scent of jasmine filled the air. The rows and rows of different types of White Jasmine flowers in full bloom made it look like stars were in the ground in that moonlit night.
Xing never likes strong scents and she really wanted to leave that place soon when she noticed the scent of the Jasmine flower she uses to make her mother’s perfume. She plucked one of it to press it in a book and give it to her father. Her father is hopelessly still in love with her mother. It is little things like these that makes him have a smile in his face.
Xing sometimes would feel that her father really wants to be with her mother and he would have this dark aura around him that make her fear that maybe her father would go to her mother Willingly soon.
Father! Please stay here in the land of the living for us, your kids!
The Emperor saw her in deep thoughts staring at a flower,
"Mingxia, what are you thinking?"
"Nothing", Xing twirled the flower and kept it safe in her pocket, "What do you want to know?". He clearly called her for talking yet why is he being quiet for this long? But he seemed to have calmed down... that’s good!
"Why did you say everything is my idea when I didn’t even have any idea what you have planned?", he looked at Xing.
Xing saw him casually dressed in the Earth Kingdom’s clothes and his dark silky hair shined in the moonlight and his eyes weren’t clearly visible," Did you like my surprise, Kouki? With this the food crisis in our kingdom will be solved and we don’t have to worry if Earth Kingdom will plan against our backs right? And we could sell our salt with more profit too, Aren’t I a genius? I learned some business tricks from Haru... "
" So how is that salt ’premium’ and different from the other salt ", the Emperor interrupted.
" That is a business secret ", she smiled playfully and asked him to bend and cupped her hands above his ears," Actually, It is not much different... It is the same salt others use but a little more finer and more refined and stored in an expensive container ", she pulled back from him and he stood there stupefied.
He thought that they had come up with some new methods to make different kind of salt but this is it..? Just the same old salt in an expensive container?
