As it stood, he would even go the distance to flatter her with precious jewelry . Persuasively, he seemed to be speaking with sincere and intense conviction .

After a long day of showing off, Gu Xijiu finally got a grasp of his intention . Like a peac.o.c.k fanning its feathers in a display, he was actually trying to impress her with as many a.s.sets as he could possibly boast .

She touched her face in bewilderment, wondering if her disguise had somehow been removed . If she remembered correctly, she should look rather ordinary, but surprisingly, it was enough to attract many men .  Perhaps her brilliant character was what they valued the most . Apparently, a mediocre appearance could not hold her back .

If Gu Xijiu were any younger, she would believe that this man was sincerely trying to woo her . However, years of experiencing the real world had taught her to be cautious about excessive compliments . The man must be planning for something more; otherwise, he would not go completely out of his way to impress her .

“Little Jiu, what are you looking at?” Meng Wuya approached her with a tray in his hand .

Gu Xijiu saw the tray and was immediately attracted by the fact that her favorite food filled the plates . Her favorite pa.s.sion fruit cookies were nicely prepared and had an irresistible smell .  Frankly, Gu Xijiu was more impressed by the food than his excessive flaunting . He had done so many things but finally got one right . Happily, she started indulging in the food .

“Do you like it?” Meng Wuya seemed relieved at her approval of the food . He had done everything he could in the past two days, but she was largely uninterested in what he had to offer . Finally, there was some progress .

“I do,” she complimented his great choice of food .

“Are you really the fiancée of the National Master?” Meng Wuya suddenly added .

She remained very noncommittal and only answered with a smile, for she knew that he would be asking more questions .

As expected, Meng Wuya began his interview . “Little Jiu, what do you think about polygamous relations.h.i.+ps? Would you share your husband with another concubine, or would you mind if he marries another wife?”

Gu Xijiu took a moment to think about it . When she was ready, she replied, “No, I would not mind . ”

From the beginning, Gu Xijiu knew that this was all meant to be a show . Having a husband was not part of her plan at any point anyway .

Meng Wuya was quite surprised by her honesty . “You are lying . ” He then grasped her by the wrist and pulled her to him . “Come with me . ”

Gu Xijiu pushed his hand away with obvious reluctance . “I will go with you . Stop pulling me . ”

Meng Wuya did not argue with her and led the way . Soon, they visited the backyard of the crystal palace and saw an enormous royal blue crystal stone .

Gu Xijiu saw it once when she first visited the crystal palace . A quick touch on the surface was enough for her to sense the strong flow of spiritual energy within the crystal stone . It was quickly apparent to her that the power it contained was even stronger than any of the spiritual stones that she had harvested over the past few days .

At one point, she even thought about taking the crystal stone away to place it within the Tianyin Valley . Little did she know that Meng Wuya was going to bring her to the stone . Soon, he began performing with a series of activation spells to turn the crystal stone into a mirror . Images then started playing across the mirror in front of her .

Pavilions, terraces, and open halls were displayed in vivid colors, forming a bustling city view . Gu Xijiu found it impressive and decided to keep watching . What came after was a scenic view of the Monster Kingdom, along with its inhabitants . Two familiar faces then appeared on the screen . They were Di Fuyi and Tu Shanying, the ruler of the Monster Kingdom .

They could be seen having a chat under a tree . The message was very clear . It did not take long for Gu Xijiu to know that they were talking about a deal .

It seemed that Tu Shanying was obsessed with Di Fuyi . Perhaps, she was as equally obsessed with him as she was in regaining her t.i.tle as the Monster King, so Di Fuyi went on and tempted her with a fruitful deal .
