Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 25 - Crown Prince Seeking A Backer

Elder Si nodded his head. "That would, of course, be for the best," he said. "However, even if you cannot get her to fall for you, you can still have a good relationship with her. As long as it is friendly, then you will benefit."

At the same time, within the Thousand Treasure Pavilion, Bai Rouyun was looking around curiously. "Hey, Mo Chu," she called out, and the guy who was continually walking behind her looked at her with surprise.

"What is the relationship between Li Moyun and this annoying guy?" She could not help but ask. If their relationship was good, then she would not cause problems, but if it was not, then it was not so simple as getting away with a mere apology.

"Bad." Mo Chu was usually a man of many words, but he was not sure how else to explain their relationship. At the same time, he did not know how much of his master’s affairs he could tell her.

Bai Rouyun understood this, and thus she did not try to inquire about anything else, her lack of questions surprising Mo Chu. Was she curious about Li Moyun or not? It was hard to say.

"You are a Blue Realm cultivator?" she suddenly asked, and Mo Chu was surprised that she had seen the glow of his Qi when he saved her. But he did not deny it, just tentatively nodded his head. He was amongst the stronger people following Li Moyun.

"This will be interesting," she grinned, her eyes shining like a billion stars, and her lips curled into a seductive grin.

"What will?" Mo Chu asked, confused.

Bai Rouyun looked at Mo Chu and shook her head as if she was sad that he couldn’t follow her train of thought.

"He is a prince. He is likely to fight for the throne. Then a Blue Realm cultivator appears in front of him as the protector of a frail young lady. Obviously, he is going to try and strike up a conversation with us later. He might even try and seduce me. After all, he will benefit greatly if you were by his side. Unfortunately, I have no interest in guys like him, but it will be nice if I can get him to pay for my purchases today."

Bai Rouyun had always been frugal as she never had a lot of money in her previous life. Although she could be considered somewhat rich now, she was still not at a point where she could squander her wealth as she pleased.

Mo Chu was stunned. It was just some gold coins; his master had an unlimited supply of gold coins. Even essence stones were something he did not lack. Was it really proper for the madam to scam another?

But when he thought about the person being scammed being the Crown Prince, a slight twitch appeared at the corner of his lips. He wanted to laugh but couldn’t, he wanted to cry but had no tears. It was evident that although he had already apologized, Bai Rouyun was holding a grudge.

Bai Rouyun patted Mo Chu’s shoulder and grinned at him. "Just wait to see a spectacular show later. I only planned to buy some seeds, but now it seems that I should buy some herbs too. Some lovely expensive herbs."

Not long after, the Crown Prince, alongside Elder Si, entered the Thousand Treasure Pavilion.

When Bai Rouyun had entered, everyone had looked at her curiously, but no one had come to greet her, allowing her to walk the floor on her own while deciding what she wanted to purchase.

Now that the Crown Prince arrived, the floor manager instantly appeared and started to flatter him, rubbing his hands together and leading the way.

The Crown Prince’s eyes scanned the floor, and he quickly found Bai Rouyun and Mo Chu. His eyes were on Mo Chu for a short while before they returned to Bai Rouyun.

Although he agreed with Elder Si, that this woman was a good backer for him because she had a Blue Realm practitioner following her, he was also very attracted to her appearance.

As to whether or not it was her real appearance, the Crown Prince did not care. The face masks were ingenious, but they had one flaw. If you were beautiful before wearing the mask, you would be beautiful after wearing it too. If you were ugly before, you would still be ugly after.

The mask could not make an ugly person beautiful, or a beautiful person ugly.

Because of this, he was confident that even if this stunning woman was not like this in real life, then she would still be immensely beautiful.

And as a man, he liked beautiful women. He did not feel like he was losing out at all if he could seduce this woman.

"Mother, I can smell a thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng in this shop. If you are going to scam that man, make sure to get a slice of the ginseng."

Hearing Xiao Bao’s voice, Bai Rouyun was stunned. The little thing was even referring to her as mother; as such, she could easily guess that the little treasure truly wanted the slice of the Blood Ginseng.

Although she did not know why he wanted this slice of Blood Ginseng, she was not going to ignore him. Since he called her ’Mother’, then she was going to do anything to get it for him.

A contemplating expression appeared on her face as she started planning how to scam the prince, get her seeds, while also getting a slice of Blood Ginseng.
