She became a god

Chapter 369 The Magnolia Festival (Part Two)

Now that things have come to this, even the young man in purple couldn't help but doubt himself.

is it necessary?

While she hesitated, a waiter came and invited her, saying, "The distinguished guests in VIP room 06 have bought this nine-petaled magnolia and would like to invite you and your husband upstairs to talk."

The young man still didn't want to give up the nine-layered magnolia, and readily agreed upon hearing this.

Upon entering the private room, one sees a young man in red holding a small animal, and next to him is another young man in plain clothes who looks somewhat familiar.

"This humble citizen, Qi Jingxuan, and his wife, Huo Qiongming, pay their respects to Venerable Yunxiao."

Huo Qiongming then remembered where he had seen the young man in plain clothes before. It turned out that he had seen Venerable Yunxiao from afar at a banquet when the Qi family had not yet lost power.

“Venerable Yunxiao, it is truly a blessing for this nine-layered purple magnolia to have won your favor.”

Yunxiao said, "But your Daoist partner doesn't seem to know that this nine-layered purple magnolia has become an auction item."

Qi Jingxuan chuckled awkwardly, "My wife and I had a bit of a falling out, and in a fit of anger, she used this nine-layered purple magnolia as a pretext to deliberately embarrass me. But we've just made up, my wife, you should tell Venerable Yunxiao quickly!"

Remembering his parents' instructions, Huo Qiongming forced a smile and said, "That's exactly right."

Yunxiao said, “Every family has its rules, and every country has its regulations. From now on, you should stop causing trouble for your own selfish reasons and ruining the mood of the rest of the people.”

Qi Jingxuan quickly admitted his mistake, saying, "I will certainly remember Venerable Yunxiao's teachings and take my wife home now."

Huo Qiongming could no longer hold back. She knelt down with a thud. "Venerable Yunxiao, please, please give me back the Nine-Fold Purple Magnolia!"

Yunxiao's face darkened. Was she being treated like a thug who robbed people of their property?

Putting aside the fact that she didn't buy the flower at all, even if she did, it was a legal transaction. This woman's demand for the flower back made it seem like she owed the woman something, which really annoyed her.

"Venerable Yunxiao, this nine-layered purple magnolia is something I have carefully cultivated. In my heart, this flower is like a friend. I really cannot part with it. I beg you to grant my request!"

Yunxiao scoffed, "You can't bear to part with your friends, but you'd betray them?"

Huo Qiongming choked up, wanting to reveal the truth that Qi Jingxuan had secretly taken the flower to pawn, but then she suddenly remembered her parents' words, "If you can't hold on to the Qi family, you can forget about going home," and she immediately couldn't say anything.

Yunxiao waved his hand, "See them downstairs."

If it weren't for the presence of distinguished guests, Yunxiao would have already sent the couple to prison and subjected them to severe torture.

Avoid arguments early in the morning and late at night.

It just so happens that they had a falling out at the Magnolia Charity Gala. Who knows if this couple were spies sent by another organization to ruin the reputation of the Magnolia event?

"Bang."

Yunxiao looked down and saw that Huo Qiongming was completely unreasonable, kowtowing without any warning.

Yunxiao now suspects that she might be deliberately trying to ruin his reputation.

"Your Excellency, I truly cannot live without the Nine-Layered Purple Magnolia. Please, I beg you, give it back to me!"

Yunxiao sneered, "If all the cultivators in the Heavenly Realm were like you, going back on their word after the transaction is completed, who would dare to do business with us in the Heavenly Realm?"

Huo Qiongming remained silent, only kowtowing repeatedly.

Yunxiao frowned. If there hadn't been guests present, this woman and her husband would have been imprisoned long ago. How could they have been harassing him until now?

The little panda glanced at her and saw that Huo Qiongming's forehead was bleeding and her face was blurred. If she were not a cultivator, she would probably be dead long ago.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he spoke up, "If you sincerely want to take back that Nine-Layered Purple Magnolia, then exchange it for two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."

Yunxiao knew that Ye Qingzhou was giving him face, so he nodded and said, "Huo Qiongming, take the money!"

Huo Qiongming stopped kowtowing but remained silent. After a long while, he finally said, "Two hundred thousand is too much; I can't afford it."

"This flower paid off your debt of 300,000 high-grade spirit stones. Now that you want this flower, we only ask for 200,000 high-grade spirit stones, but you think the price is too high. Do you expect me to give it back to you for free?"

Yunxiao felt a surge of anger. Although she didn't lack the 300,000 high-grade spirit stones, there was no need to waste them on such a thing.

Moreover, this matter also involves a third party—two distinguished guests from the demon realm.

The little panda asked curiously, "If you want your flowers back, there are only two ways. One is to sue for illegality in the transaction process, and the other is to redeem them according to the transaction process. But you admit that the transaction process is legal, yet you are unwilling to redeem them according to the transaction process. How else do you want your flowers back?"

Huo Qiongming couldn't afford to offend the Qi family, so she naturally didn't dare to reveal the shady dealings involved in the mortgage, but she herself really couldn't come up with that much money.

But she really can't live without the Nine-Layered Purple Magnolia!

In her eyes, that flower was a friend, a sister, and a child; she could never abandon her child!

Huo Qiongming said mournfully, "If Your Excellency would be willing to return the Nine-Layered Purple Magnolia to me, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."

Yunxiao frowned. When had she ever lacked these things? And that Princess Xuyao ​​obviously didn't lack such ephemeral things either.

The little panda suddenly asked, "Huo Qiongming, what are you good at?"

Huo Qiongming said, "I know how to cultivate flowers and plants, and I can grow many spiritual roots..."

Yunxiao was annoyed by what she heard, but out of the corner of her eye she saw the little panda wink at her. "Sister Yunxiao, why don't you arrange a gardener's job for her and deduct the money from her salary? Anyway, cultivators live a long time, and sooner or later we'll be able to get those 200,000 high-grade spirit stones back."

Yunxiao asked in surprise, "You're not eating the crispy fried magnolia?"

The little panda rested its chin on its hand and said, "Of course I'll eat it. As interest on the 200,000 high-grade spirit stones, Huo Qiongming will give me ten catties of magnolia flowers every year until the loan is fully repaid."

If it's a regular magnolia flower root, ten kilograms won't cost much.

Huo Qiongming hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude. After she left the building, she looked at Qi Jingxuan, who was cursing and swearing, and no longer tolerated him, "Damn it, a spendthrift like you, your mother doesn't want you anymore!"

Qi Jingxuan was furious, his fingers trembling. "You, Huo Qiongming, you've only just made a conversation with Venerable Yunxiao, and your mind has already wandered. You actually want a divorce from me!"

Huo Qiongming hugged the flowers tightly and retorted defiantly, "It's not a divorce, it's a separation!"

"Fine, I'd like to see what the Huo family has to say."

"No matter what the Huo family says, I'm determined to get a divorce!"

Huo Qiongming used to worry that after her divorce from Qi Jingxuan, she wouldn't be able to go back to her parents' home, and she wouldn't have anywhere to put her flowers and plants.

Now that Venerable Yunxiao has spoken, and she has a stable job, what is there to be afraid of?

As for the accusations from her parents, Huo Qiongming thought that at worst she could hide for a hundred years.

Once she achieves success, her parents might even praise her for bringing honor to the family!
