Silence.
Everyone fell silent.
When everyone wanted to gasp, their gasps were stuck in their throats and unable to come out. They were stunned.
Insights?
What a familiar term.
The woman thought everyone was stunned by her. Instantly, she was delighted. She said, “Actually, don’t be too shocked. I can easily eat six of these big Spiritual Fruits. Since I like it too much, I only have one left. If the road between the Immortal Land and Realm was open, I would’ve saved some for you. After all, this is more beneficial for you than me.”
Yao Mengji snapped back to reality and instantly looked amazed. “Wow! Nice!”
Zhou Dacheng agreed, “Who would’ve thought that it’d be such a wonderful fruit. It’s so hard to imagine! It’s so hard to believe!”
The acting skills they had to master since meeting the expert had finally been put to use.
As expected, one would not be able to get away without acting.
Even Qin Manyun looked shocked. She shook her head humbly and said, “This is too expensive. I can’t take it.”
“This is nothing. I’m your ancestor. Since I’m giving it to you, just keep it.” The woman smiled.
It was nice getting to be noble in front of the youngsters and leaving them with a precious heirloom before dying. She did it to leave a good impression in the Immortal Realm as an Immortal.
“Right, the lower the realm, the more beneficial the fruit. You might get an Epiphany if you’re lucky. Why don’t you have a bite now and show me if you can? Who knows, you might be able to Cross Tribulate within a thousand years,” the woman said with anticipation.
“It’s not so well…” Qin Manyun looked at Yao Mengji.
Yao Mengji’s face changed. He said, “Mistress, there’s no hurry. I think the most important thing now is to think of a way to cure you.”
“As I said, it’s impossible! I’m an Immortal. Even the best Elixir in the Immortal Realm wouldn’t do much for me.” The woman waved her hand and said, “I’m merely a woman who’s about to be dead. Can’t I see how much the fruit would help my younger generation? Don’t you want me to die a peaceful death?”
Yao Mengji said while biting his tongue, “Mistress, I have something that might be able to help you…”
“Nonsense!” the woman exploded. “How disrespectful! Do you want me to die sooner by pissing me off? My good Manyun, don’t mind your teacher. Hurry up and take a bite. Show me how well it works!”
Qin Manyun nodded her head awkwardly. She slowly opened her mouth and put the fruit into her mouth.
The fruit was sweet and sour. There was no seed in it as well. She finished it in three mouthfuls.
Everyone stared at Qin Manyun, especially the woman whose eyes were burning. She started imagining how Qin Manyun would be affected in no time, making a strange face. It would show them how cool was the gift she had given them.
However, nothing happened.
“Hmm?” The woman frowned. She looked at Qin Manyun suspiciously.
Qin Manyun was under pressure. She even closed her eyes, trying to pretend as if she was having an Epiphany. However…nothing happened.
The fruit did have some Insights. However, after spending so much time with Li Nianfan, getting Insights was as easy as having a meal. Compared to those, the Insights contained in the fruit were nothing. It merely induced a small reaction, not an Epiphany.
“What happened? Why did nothing happen?” The woman was confused. Her jaw dropped. She looked anxious.
Her phantom flickered. It was already on the verge of breaking.
She was so frustrated that her phantom almost disappeared.
This was equivalent to sending someone a branded bag and them mistaking it for a basket. It was frustrating!
So very frustrating!
The woman was panting as she said, “No way. I must hang on. If not, I can’t die in peace.”
Yao Mengji said hastily, “Mistress, please, don’t panic. You might not believe what I’m going to say next, but we’ve been eating quite a lot of fruits containing Insights. That’s why it’s less effective on us now.”
“Eating quite a lot?” The woman was shocked. She then shook her head and said, “I don’t believe you. Mengji, don’t you make up lousy lies like this. It merely shows how ignorant you are! You sound like a joke!”
Qin Manyun said, “Mistress, it’s true. That’s how I managed to reach the late-Yuan Ying realm.”
The woman still shook her head as she spoke with conviction, “I’m a pig if I believe what you say!”
Yao Mengji took a deep breath. His face was very serious when he said, “Mistress, to be honest with you, we met a…Saint in the Immortal Realm.”
The woman looked at Yao Mengji blankly. Then, she laughed as if she was looking at an idiot.
She said, “Mengji, just because I’m dying, you decided to tell me a joke from the Immortal Realm?”
“Mistress, I know you won’t believe me but what I’m saying is true!”
Yao Mengji looked at the woman and said in excitement, “Now’s not the time to explain. What I want to know is would the honey from Golden Bees do you any good?”
“Of course!” The woman’s eyes sparkled. She could not help saying, “Honey from Golden Bees has healing powers. It can heal wounds. If there’s enough of it, not only can it heal my illness, it’ll even improve my health,” she said in a hopeless tone, craving for it.
Those were Golden Bees! They were not only rare, they were also a very deadly species.
One had to have both luck and skill to attain their honey.
Very difficult! Extremely difficult!
However…
Yao Mengji smiled. He stood up tall as he said in a mysterious tone, “I have some!”
The woman frowned with suspicion. “Mengji, when did you become like this? You keep lying. Aren’t you ashamed?”
“Mistress, you can decide whether to believe me or not after I show it to you.” Yao Mengji’s lips curled up. As if he was about to perform, he said, “Now, I hope Mistress is ready. Stay calm as I bring out the honey of the Golden Bees!”
“Nice act. Bring it out. I’m waiting.”
Yao Mengji warned, “Mistress, I’m not kidding you. If you faint out of excitement, it’d be your loss.”
The woman answered impatiently, “I’m doing fine. Feel free to bring it out!”
Yao Mengji made a gesture and a bottle appeared in his hand. As he uncovered the lid, a sweet fragrance drifted into the air.
The woman was not expecting much but suddenly, her face froze as her eyes fixated on the bottle.
“This… This…”
Her eyes widened. She wished she could glue her eyes to the bottle.
The honey inside the bottle was swirling around like it was alive.
Gasp!
“Honey from the Golden…Golden Bees. It really is from the Golden Bees!” Her body jumped from the extreme shock.
Meanwhile, her phantom shook vigorously. She was on the verge of breaking.
She raised her hand. Instantly, the bottle flew into her hand.
“Oh no, I’m fainting. I don’t have the time to hear you explain. Call me back in five days.”
Just as the phantom was about to vanish, her voice resonated in the air, “Oh right, as your Mistress, I feel obliged to warn you. You’re not young anymore. You need to learn to control your urges. Your body essence is so weak because you’ve been having too much fun!”
Yao Mengji was baffled.
‘I used it all up to summon you!?
‘What’s wrong with women? What’s wrong with their thinking?
‘Sigh, I didn’t even get anything for summoning my ancestor. I even lost a jar of honey.
‘My ancestor’s a thief. My loss!’
