23 Chapter 23
"I have investigated the mother seed; it moves randomly within this area." Ling Min Zhe shows her the map of the west region. Li Zian nodded seeing the map, "But the mother seed did not constantly absorb any resentment. It only occasionally absorbs resentment if the resentment around it is slightly higher than normal. It seems to avoid absorbing the resentment that accumulates in the western region. So, I have a hunch that is more than one mother seed. That is because the resentment level did not increase past the safety level while the resentment still flowing to the west."
"Seeing the resentment movement, it is possible to have more than one mother seeds. I will continue to monitor Lee Guang and you try to find the other mother seed owner."
Li Zian also gives instructions to the crows to keep monitoring Lee Guang and the others with child seeds. Today, it is the third day Li Zian is working as a helper at Lee Guang's house. Li Zian is accompanying Li Heng to the market. On the way home, Li Zian feels a jolt in her heart. She slowly pats her heart. Suddenly, a woman crashes into Li Zian. Li Zian with a load of groceries falls on her butt. She tries her best to protect the goods.
"You bitch! Get out from my house!" An old woman is fuming mad.
The woman that crashes with Li Zian is beautiful and seductive. She quickly stands up and puts her arms on her slim waist, "Why!? I pay rent every month! I did not damage your house!"
"You damage my reputation! Everyone said my house is a brothel! There are many occupations in this world yet you have to sell your body! Ptui!" The old woman spat on the ground.
"What I do is none of your business! I will get out of this place. You do not need to get physical. Just tell me nicely." The woman is stern and strong in defending herself but none of them notice the hint of bitterness in her eyes. Li Zian noticed it and sigh. Li Zian's hearts resonate with her feeling and the black aura is increasing.
"How shameful, selling body for life. Let's go, Feng." Li Heng helps Li Zian get up and pat her back. Li Zian stares at the back of Li Heng and jogs a bit to follow her.
When she arrives at the house, Lee Guang is already at home. Li Heng asked why he is at home and he said that his team finish the order early and can go home. Li Heng feels so happy and quickly order Li Zian to help her to cook dinner.
Lee Guang seems to notice Li Zian's resentment and asks if there is anything that happened at the market. Li Heng tells about the beautiful woman and warns Lee Guang from visiting that kind of woman. Li Heng seems to be talkative and use all kind of derogatory to insult the beautiful woman. Li Zian did not like to hear her words and her resentment spike up.
Lee Guang seems to find the topic is very interesting and keeps talking about the brothel and so on. Besides that, he keeps eyeing Li Zian. Li Zian pretends to not notice and continue cooking. That night Lee Guang decided to send Li Zian to her rented room.
"Brother Guang it is okay. I can go back by myself."
"It is not safe for a child like you to walk alone at night." Lee Guang insists on sending her home.
Bullshit! If he really concerns, why did he not send her before? Lee Guang slowly walking beside Li Zian assuming the role of bodyguard.
"Feng, when I was talking with my mother, I notice that you did not seem to like those women that selling meat." Lee Guang lowers his voice and eventually whispers to her.
Li Zian glances a bit towards Lee Guang before talking to him, "Yes. I have a bad experience with them." Li Zian said it with a disgusted face as if she really hates those women, 'Yes, I hate people that only know how to criticizes other than knowing their circumstances!' Li Zian inner self is raging mad at Lee Guang and his mother.
Lee Guang nodded with satisfaction, "If you have the power to get rid of those women, do you want it?"
Li Zian tilted her head towards Lee Guang and with a confused face, she asked, "Power? If I have power, I will leave this place and not see those women anymore. Away from my eyes then there is no need to feel mad or disgusted."
Lee Guang is shocked. He is not expected to get that answer. He probably thought Li Zian will answer, "If I have power, I will kill all those sluts and bitches." Lee Guang stands still and Li Zian did not wait for him and walks away.
Lee Guang did not realise how did he walk home. He feels so confused. He was only sober when his mother pats him on his shoulder.
"What happened to you? You seem in a daze?"
Lee Guang chats a bit with his mother and enters his room. Li Zian's voice keeps echoing in his mind. As if telling him that he has chosen the wrong path,
"Crash!" Sound of something broken. Lee Guang startled and hurriedly get out of his room. He saw his father using his cripple hands swipe away all the plates on the table. He then swings his cripple hand and using it as a bat to hit the cup on the table towards his mother. The cup directly hit his mother's forehead.
"You have money to buy all this food but never gives it to me!" Lee Guang saw his father and his eyes blacken. Resentment is rolling out. Li Heng is cowering at the table corner. She tries her best to coax her husband. Fear is evident in her eyes. Lee Guang's seed is still a child seed and it is connected with his master.
"What a good little disciple. Not only was he able to evolve the child seed, but he also consistent in channeling the resentment energy." The man laughs a bit and opens the window to let his plant absorb the moon essence.
Li Zian is meditating on her bed opens her eyes, "Found you!" Her lips curled up and her pupils turns into a dark purple. She gazes into the space and sees a man tending weird plants.
The man lifts his head and stares into the space, "Finally, it took you long enough." The man smiles at Li Zian. He bows a bit, "Nice to meet you, esteem Jiangong."
With the aid of the Gate, Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe arrive directly in front of the man. The man and Li Zian directly attack each other. The man attacking Li Zian using his bizarre plant and Li Zian shot an arrow towards that man. One of the plants uses its leaves to block Li Zian's arrow but the arrow's momentum is high and it tears the thick leaves. While Li Zian's arrow doing it works, the man controls his other plants to shoot its thorns towards Li Zian. Ling Min Zhe stands in front of Li Zian and cuts all the thorns. As soon as Li Zian's arrow arrives an inch from the man a plant shoots out a liquid and melts the arrow.
"Impressive!" The man claps his hand, "They said the new Jiangong is just a child in Qi Refinement but they never tell me, she is amazing. Able to tear my precious plant." He caresses his injured plant.
Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe stay alert. This man is strong! The man uses his mouth to make a whistling sound and slowly walks forward towards Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe. Lingg Min Zhe urges Li Zian to step back. This man at Core Formation realm, 'Damn!' Ling Min Zhe curses in his heart. Li Zian follows Ling Min Zhe's instruction and steps back. After ten big steps, the man stops walking and stands in front of his house, floating around him are his potted plants.
The man's potted plants grow bigger as big as a person. They levitated around the man. The man did not attack, he smiles towards Li Zian. Ling Min Zhe stays guard in front of Li Zian. Li Zian did not underestimate that the enemy fear her or Ling Min Zhe. People of the Hao Clan did not fear Heaven, how could they fear a mere Jiangong?
Ling Min Zhe uses his spiritual sense to scan the surrounding. Ling Min Zhe suddenly jumps back and holds Li Zian's waist and then they fly high from the ground. A few seconds later, big vines rush out from the ground. Those vines keep growing upwards and try to tangle Ling Min Zhe and Li Zian. Ling Min Zhe uses his sword to cut those vines and Li Zian uses fire arrows supply by Zhong to burn those vines.
The man lightly steps on the vines and uses those vines to slowly arrive at the same height as Ling Min Zhe and Li Zian. From the first time they saw him, he did not lift a finger. He is like an observer enjoying the show.
