Chapter 183 - 66: The Mysterious Blood Essence
Yue Jinghua stared at the little boy next to her, looking him up and down and feeling something was not quite right about him.
It seemed that ever since he came back from the Little Shang Palace, the little boy had been off.
Hongling said that the boy had behaved well in the palace that day, calling Lie Rou "Mother" and easing an awkward situation for her.
Afterward, Yue Jinghua playfully teased the little boy, asking him to call her "Sister" to hear it, but he turned back into a tight-lipped person, no matter how much she coaxed, he’d give no response.
"What have you been doing hiding in the Spirit Wood Garden these past days?" Yue Jinghua was here tonight to pick up Yue Chen, brought by Lie Rou. According to Hongling, the young master had practically been living in the Spirit Wood Garden these days.
"Planting flowers," the little boy mumbled as he walked, as if he could find gold on the ground late at night. He wasn’t lying, he had been planting something indeed. A while back, he had obtained a Purple Lotus Seed in the residence of the Feise Empress Dowager, which was no ordinary lotus seed.
The two walked in silence for a while longer.
Yue Chen paused and then suddenly stopped, taking something out of his bosom.
"What is this?" Yue Jinghua took a closer look at what was in her hand; there were two red Crystal Stones.
"Found them," Yue Chen said, a bit guiltily, and quickened his pace.
