MEIWITA Chapter 775: You’re Courting Death

The biggest highlight of the Seastar Banquet was tasting the Seastar Fruit.

The Seastar Fruit was a grade 9 spiritual fruit that was unique to a small secret realm managed by the Southern Sea Royal Family. After eating it, it wasn’t only useful for comprehending the elemental attributes, purified elemental energy and improved cultivation, but could also prolong one’s lifespan by a hundred years.

A hundred years may not be a big deal to many people, but it was an invaluable treasure for Sword Masters whose lifespan was coming to an end. Maybe with this extra hundred years, they could breakthrough to the next realm then gain even longer years to live.

Therefore, the Seastar Banquet was very popular. The old fellows from various clans came to the banquet in person, first to show their respect to the Southern Sea King, and second, they came for the Seastar Fruit.

And the Seastar Banquet held by the Southern Sea Royal Family also had a purpose. They used Seastar Fruits to win people’s hearts, rewarding the clans of all sizes in the Southern Sea, so that those old immortals close to stepping into a coffin could live another hundred years.

As long as they broke through again within a hundred years, then it’d be absolutely beneficial to the overall strength of the Southern Sea.

As for inviting the royal families from the other three seas to participate in the Seastar Banquet, it was a means of maintaining friendly relations. The Seastar Banquet was actually just a large platform for communication.

The Seastar Banquet not only facilitated the exchange of relations, but also helped to stabilise the connections between the Four Seas.

“Bring in the Seastar Fruit for everyone to taste.” Lan Si wasn’t a person who liked to chat.

Although he had a warm and gentle temperament like jade, but in his bones, he was extremely cold and proud.

Soon, beautiful female attendants of the sea race came out with Seastar Fruits, and anyone who was qualified to sit in the seats would have a share.

Lou Mu Yan picked up the palm-sized fruit and looked at it.

The Seastar Fruit was a five-star shaped, light yellow spiritual fruit. The fruit exuded an attractive fragrance. Just by smelling it, one would feel the dense wood attribute elemental energy. It’s aura of life was very strong.

She wasn’t in a hurry to taste it, and instead placed it at the tip of her nose to smell it, then probed it with her wood attribute elemental energy.

Lan Si naturally caught Lou Mu Yan’s movements. An interested light flashed across his eyes, and he said with a chuckle: “Little Yan’er thinks there’s something wrong with the Seastar Fruit?”

When Lan Si spoke suddenly, everyone present was stunned, especially the people from the major clans of the Southern Sea who looked at each other inexplicably and had a question in their minds—‘who was Little Yan’er.’

The person who could make their Highness of the Southern Sea call them by such an intimate name—they must have an unusual relationship.

“…” Lou Mu Yan also didn’t expect that Fox Lan would address her at the Seastar Banquet. She rolled her eyes inwardly, then replied innocently: “There’s nothing wrong!”

“Then why don’t you taste it? I remember Little Yan’er likes delicacies the most.” Lan Si looked at her with a half-smile and continued.

Listening to the conversation between the two, the people of the sea race were extremely shocked. In particular, the women from the various large clans of the Southern Sea who were going to be given to the Southern Sea King as concubines felt extremely uncomfortable.

They looked at Lou Mu Yan with a vague look as if they wanted to eat someone.

Lan Si, the Southern Sea King, hadn’t married nor taken in concubines all his life. Not only was his strength unfathomable, but he also looked gentle and handsome, and was the golden husband in the hearts of many sea race women in the Four Seas.

Everyone hoped to reach the sky in one fell swoop. Not only would it help their clan feel proud, but they may even become the Queen of the Southern Sea somehow.

At this time, most of the people present were looking at Lou Mu Yan with various expressions such as jealousy, scrutiny, doubt, and interest.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t know what Fox Lan was up to. Her expression remained calm, as if those people weren’t looking at her.

“I think the taste and efficacy of the Seastar Fruit will be better if it’s used to brew wine.” Lou Mu Yan chuckled, and blinked at Lan Si, saying: “How about you give me some more?”

What a waste not to take something this good—obviously she was extorting Fox Lan.

“…” Everyone couldn’t help twitching the corners of their lips when they heard her words. Did this woman treat the Seastar Fruit as an ordinary spiritual fruit? One per person was already very extravagant, it’d be unreasonable to give more.

Lan Si played with the jade wine glass in his hand and said with a slight smile: “Sure! As long as Little Yan’er likes it, I can even give you an entire basket.”

Then he changed the subject and said: “But I must have a share of the brewed spiritual wine.”

When Lou Mu Yan heard him say a basket, her eyes lit up instantly, “Sure, you’re the one that offered to give me a basket.”

The superiors of the Southern Sea Royal Family wanted to kneel at Lan Si right now—King! You might have money, but you didn’t have to be this capricious…

One basket—how many Seastar Fruits would there be in a basket? Their hearts hurt badly.

But Lan Si had long established a high prestige among the Southern Sea Royal Family, and no one dared to refute his words.

While those women who wanted to marry Lan Si just wanted to scratch apart Lou Mu Yan’s beautiful, sunny smile.

Many high-ranking members of the large clans and forces cast dissatisfied eyes on Ye Qing Han.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Northern Sea actually brought a vixen to seduce their King, and even succeeded. How embarrassing it was to them, who had been sending beauties to them for so many years only for them all to be sent back.

The eyes of the Second Princess were even more hostile. She had secretly ordered killers to find an opportunity to kill Lou Mu Yan. Who knew that the other party not only had a good friendship with the Crown Prince of the Northern Sea, but also knew the most mysterious Southern Sea King.

Most importantly was that the two of them were quite friendly based on their conversation.

She turned her head and saw that the man that she, who rarely liked anyone, liked, was also staring at Lou Mu Yan. The anger in her chest was inexplicably uncomfortable.

With a grim look, she approached Lou Mo Yu and asked: “What, that woman’s very beautiful?”

Lou Mo Yu glanced at her inexplicably and nodded: “Yes! She’s very beautiful.”

His daughter was of course beautiful.

But it was very unpleasant to the ears of the Second Princess. She used to use recklessness and violence in the Western Sea to hide her true self, but if one acted too much, the effect would also be very big.

“Don’t forget, you’re now ben’gong’s person.”

She suddenly reached out and clenched Lou Mo Yu’s shoulders to make him face her, threatening in a cold voice: “If you dare covet other women, ben’gong will disfigure her first, then castrate you, making your lives worse than death.”

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and she didn’t hide it. All the people here were cultivators, so their ears were naturally very sensitive, and they all heard her warning to Lou Mo Yu.

A playful smile appeared in the eyes of a woman wearing a veil from the Eastern Sea.

She was the princess of the Eastern Sea who wanted to unite through marriage to the Southern Sea King, but who knew that Lan Si’s attention was snatched by a girl who appeared out of nowhere. Now the Second Princess of the Western Sea’s performance of ‘pointing at the chicken and cursing the dog1’ made her very happy.

It was the first time that Lou Mo Yu was threatened by someone like this. The other party was even a woman. His eyes seemed to have a layer of ice, and the seal in his body was only one step away from breaking.

Most importantly was that the Second Princess stepped on his baseline and reversed scale. The two most important women in his life were his wife, Ling Yue Xin, and his daughter, Lou Mu Yan.

“You’re courting death!”

Lou Mo Yu was just trying to break the last seal when Lou Mu Yan crushed the wine glass in her hand, stood up, and stared at the Second Princess coldly.

1means to point at one thing but abuse another, i.e. threatening Lou Mo Yu while actually cursing Lou Mu Yan (lol realised I can’t even use acronyms here since they’re both LMY hahaha)
