Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss - Chapter 435
Chapter 435: Who Exactly is He?
Mo Kongyuan had wanted to chase Ling Yichen and the rest of them out initially. But Ling Chuxi had opened her mouth to say that these were her friends, and only then did Mo Kongyuan drop the matter. But he did not have such a good temper toward the emperor who had already left.
“This fool likes to annoy me for anything and everything. I’m almost annoyed to death by him.” Mo Kongyuan said with much loathing.
Ling Chuxi broke out in cold sweat. She reckoned that he would be the only person who dared to describe the emperor like this, at least in Nan Xia Country.
“Come, come, come. Let me bring you guys to have a look around my garden. That fool just now does not know social graces. My mood is bad just by looking at him.”
‘Social graces?’ Ling Chuxi looked at Mo Kongyuan’s messy hair and had a chill. ‘Who is the one who really did not know social graces? Any normal person could figure this out with one look, right?’
“That’s true. Not everyone is as leisurely and laid-back as you.” Ling Chuxi wiped off her cold sweat and casually flattered him with a sentence.
“You are right, you are right.” Mo Kongyuan was so happy that he almost danced with joy.
“Do you guys see this huge rock? Those who don’t know assume that this is just an ordinary rock. Let me tell you. This is called Green Cloud Rock which was produced in Wu Ya Island at the Southern Seas. Besides Wu Ya Island, the only place in the world you can see it is here at my place.”
“This is called the Ancient Mulberry Tree. It comes from Dong Yi at the Miao Borders. Hearsay, there is only one tree in this world. I have managed to graft it successfully after much difficulties.”
Mo Kongyuan was particularly enthusiastic since Ling Chuxi, this “witty” bosom friend, was around. He took the few of them to look around everywhere. He would point to an oddly shaped huge rock and then point to an ancient towering tree later on while explaining to them with his saliva spluttering everywhere. Baili Han who was standing next to him would accidentally be sprayed by Mo Kongyuan’s saliva. He could only wipe off the saliva on his face silently and take two steps backward. Ling Chuxi who saw this was secretly smiling.
Only then did Ling Chuxi know that every single grass and tree in his courtyard had an impressive background after hearing Mo Kongyuan’s explanation. The emperor could not be blamed for “not knowing social graces”. This old man right before her eyes was probably the only person under the skies that had such leisure and interest in nature. This kind of taste was really odd to the extreme.
She secretly thought so, but Ling Chuxi still pretended to have a look of exceptional praise and marveled continuously. “I can see that this rock is extraordinary by just one look at it. I never would have thought that it is actually the Green Cloud Rock from Wu Ya Island of the Southern Seas! I’ve only heard of it before. Now, I know how magnificent and spectacular it is after seeing it!” Green Cloud Rock my a*s. Even if the old man had spoken till his saliva was spluttering everywhere, Ling Chuxi still could not see through what the difference was. ‘It is only just moving a huge rock like this from the Southern Seas to the capital thousand miles away. Only he has that patience and ability to do so.’
“Hahahaha. Chuxi, it is rare that we have similar interests. I also have a collection of Clear Rain Jade Green Tea. Even the emperor, that idiot, has not have a sip of this yet. This encounter is also destined. I will bring it out for you to have a taste.” Mo Kongyuan heard Ling Chuxi’s compliment which was as fake as fake could possibly get and he was even more overjoyed. He became friendlier as he addressed her and entered the house happily to take the tea leaves.
Ling Yichen and the rest who were at one side heard this and the back of their heads broke out in cold sweat. Could Mo Kongyuan not detect such a perfunctory and fake compliment? How was it different from Chuxi saying “you are really such a nice person” and “good people will definitely have long life”?!
Ling Chuxi’s mouth twitched. Similar interests? To be frank, besides being able to eat so much, Ling Chuxi could not really find any other similar interests with him. Spending so much effort in handling flowers and plants and putting them in the courtyard, he might as well go and eat more meals of gourmet food.
“Who exactly is this old man?” Ling Chuxi finally managed to find the time to ask after he had left.
