188: Thank you for the gift.

"I say, do you have anything else to give? Just these few Spirit Stones? Are you trying to brush off a beggar?"

Mo Tianxiao's voice rang out again, snapping Zhou Wu back to his senses. He chuckled and said, "Sister Nan really knows how to joke. Of course, I have good things here, but I can't just give them away like this, can I?"

"Sister Nan, why don't we have a meal together first and become friends? Once we're better acquainted, I'll give you even better treasures."

Zhou Wu looked at Mo Tianxiao tentatively with a grin on his face, but his heart was filled with disdain.

He didn't expect this woman to be so materialistic, but that was fine; such women were easier to win over.

His Great Zhou Dynasty certainly didn't lack money.

Mo Tianxiao's expression was indifferent. "Take the things out for me to see first, then I'll decide whether or not to be friends with you."

Trying to trap a wolf with empty words? Did he think he could pick him up with just a few tens of millions of Spirit Stones? He was thinking far too simply.

Zhou Wu's cheek twitched slightly, his smile becoming a bit stiff. Then, he slowly withdrew his smile, and his gaze became much calmer. "Fine. Since Sister Nan has said so, let's see if these are enough to make friends with you."

With that, Zhou Wu opened his palm, and three ten-thousand-year Heaven And Earth Treasures appeared in his hand.

"As an Alchemist, you should be clear about the value of these treasures, right?"

A playful look appeared on Zhou Wu's face. He looked at Mo Tianxiao with a crooked, half-smile, wanting to see shock and surprise on his face.

Just a Primordial Spirit Realm Alchemist—did she think she could talk to him with such an attitude just because she joined the Haoran Righteousness Sect?

I'll let you be smug for a moment. Once I've won you over, I'll teach you a good lesson.

Zhou Wu began to fantasize.

Mo Tianxiao's cold attitude made him very unhappy, and that unhappiness had to be vented.

He was just that generous. Using three ten-thousand-year Heaven And Earth Treasures as bait, he didn't believe Mo Tianxiao wouldn't fall for it.

As expected, after seeing the three ten-thousand-year Heaven And Earth Treasures, a look of surprise appeared on Mo Tianxiao's face.

"Now this is more like it. These are worth much more than those few Spirit Stones."

The surrounding Haoran Righteousness Sect Disciples and the people Zhou Wu brought to support him all sighed in admiration.

"As expected of the Great Zhou Dynasty's number one playboy, his generosity is truly immense!"

"Looking at Elder Nan's expression, surely she's not about to fall for him? Please, no!"

"Sigh... Elder Nan is only human. In the end, she can't resist the temptation of these treasures."

Zhou Wu's expression became increasingly arrogant. He looked at Mo Tianxiao, his tone slightly less polite. "Now, can you spend some time with me?"

If he had known the other party was this kind of person, he would have just thrown money at her from the start. Why bother being so polite?

So what if she was a Top-tier Alchemist? Faced with such Heaven And Earth Treasures, wouldn't she still become obedient?

Mo Tianxiao ignored him and simply reached out. With a mysterious ripple, the three ten-thousand-year Heaven And Earth Treasures in Zhou Wu's hand appeared in his own.

"Huh?!"

Zhou Wu's expression changed. What happened?

How did the other party do that?!

He was a Dharma Idol Realm Cultivator, yet he hadn't noticed at all when the items were snatched?

Mo Tianxiao glanced at him and, in front of everyone, pocketed the three ten-thousand-year Heaven And Earth Treasures.

"Since you were going to give them anyway, there's no problem giving them to me now, right? Thanks a bunch."

"You!"

Zhou Wu's brow furrowed, and he was about to explode in anger when Mo Tianxiao interrupted him, asking in a low voice, "What is Zhou Muxi to you?"

Hearing this, Zhou Wu's body stiffened, and his expression became unnatural for a moment. However, he returned to normal in the next second, staring at Mo Tianxiao with a heavy gaze and saying calmly, "Elder Zhou is a Core Elder of the Haoran Righteousness Sect. Everyone knows this."

"Surely Sister Nan doesn't think that just because Elder Zhou's surname is Zhou, she's a member of our Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial family? There are far too many Cultivators in the world with the surname Zhou. We would certainly like it if Elder Zhou were a member of our imperial family, but unfortunately... she has no relation to us."

Mo Tianxiao nodded slowly. "In that case, tell the person behind you that I like women. Next time you send me a gift, remember to find a prettier woman."

After saying that, Mo Tianxiao ignored everyone's stares and turned to leave.

Picking up three ten-thousand-year Heaven And Earth Treasures and tens of millions of Spirit Stones for free—this rate of making money was faster than robbery. No! This was robbery!

Zhou Wu stood frozen on the spot, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Mo Tianxiao's back. He clenched and unclenched his fists, but ultimately didn't make a move.

"Let's go!"

He flicked his sleeves forcefully and left dejectedly.

"Holy crap! Elder Nan is awesome!"

"To dare treat Prince Zhou like that, she's truly a role model for our generation!"

"I've decided. From now on, Elder Nan is my goddess!"

"Get lost. Even Prince Zhou became like a dog on the side of the road in front of Elder Nan. Someone like you shouldn't even dream of it."

Mo Tianxiao returned to his residence happily.

On the other side, someone was not happy at all.

"Dammit!!"

"How does she dare!!"

Zhou Wu returned to the Imperial City and flew into a rage, nearly exploding with anger. A woman with no background, no strength, and nothing going for her except being a bit good at Alchemy—how dare she treat him like that!

How dare she snatch his things in front of so many people!

The key was that his brain hadn't reacted in time, and he had failed to take the opportunity to seize her!

After calming down, Zhou Wu took out a strange stone and injected it with Qi. "I failed."

Zhou Wu spoke to the stone with a trembling voice.

"Tell me everything that happened."

After a moment, a woman's voice came from the stone.

Zhou Wu swallowed hard and hurriedly recounted the entire process, not daring to hide anything.

After he finished, there was a moment of silence from the other end before a scolding voice rang out, "Fool!"

"To let her snatch your things like that without daring to say a word—isn't that just telling her there's a connection between us! You're more of a hindrance than a help!"

"You are forbidden from leaving the Imperial Palace for ten years! Reflect on your actions properly!"

The string of rebukes made Zhou Wu not dare to say a word. He could only nod desperately, his bloodshot eyes filled with violence.

"Nan Mo!! This is all your fault!!"

He hated Mo Tianxiao to the bone, wishing he could chop him into pieces.

But the reality was that he was grounded for ten years, while Mo Tianxiao remained as carefree as ever.

"Achoo!"

Mo Tianxiao suddenly sneezed.

"It seems someone is quite angry."

They were still cursing him even now.

But it didn't matter. The more they cursed, the happier he was. If getting cursed meant picking up three ten-thousand-year Heaven And Earth Treasures for free, then please, don't hold back—curse away!

"Sister Nan seems to be in a very good mood."

Just as Mo Tianxiao was humming a song and continuing his Alchemy, an uninvited guest arrived.

Mo Tianxiao looked up at the smiling Zhou Muxi, his tone slightly flippant. "Elder Zhou, you move quite fast. You've gotten the news already?"

"You didn't see it, but a while ago, some fellow claiming to be from the Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial family came to give me money."

"The guy obviously wanted to scam me, but luckily I didn't fall for it at all. Sister Muxi, how could the Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial family possibly have such a fool?"

The smile on Zhou Muxi's face stiffened, and in her heart, she cursed Zhou Wu as a stupid pig.

"I think what Sister Nan said is right. How could the Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial family have such a fool? That person was incredibly bold; he must have been an impostor."
