C107 (2/2)
The First Island Owner was in a good mood. He opened his mouth and said to Jiu Mu Li: Thank you so much for your help this time.
”Let's each take what we need. Island Owner, there is no need to do this.” Jiu Mu Li laughed, this old fellow was not some good person, she would not naively think that he would truly be grateful in his heart.
”Grandfather!”
At this time, Meng Rou Er was also terrified. She kneeled in front of First Island Owner and wailed: ”Grandfather, I'm sorry. Rou'er doesn't want to hurt you either.”
”Humph, you still have the face to say that? You don't expect me to use poison to harm you despite the fact that I've doted on you so many times. Truly, you deserve to die.”
First Island Owner's face was ashen, as he looked at Meng Rou Er in pain.
”Grandfather, this is all my fault. Please forgive Rou'er, Rou'er should not have been bewitched by Chen Feng.” Meng Rou Er's cheeks streamed with tears. She could tell that the First Island Owner had truly unleashed his killing intent and felt an incomparable amount of regret.
Jiumu Li, Chen Feng, I will make sure you die!
Meng Rou Er wailed in his heart, full of hatred and unwillingness.
”Hmph, do not repent!”
How could First Island Owner not see what his granddaughter was thinking? He didn't bother to say anything more and just said: ”Men, send Meng Rou Er to the water prison. You are not allowed to release him within ten years.”
”Grandfather, no, no!” Rou-Er is afraid of the dark! ”
The water prison was not a good place, especially the First Island's water prison, where the felons were imprisoned. It was dark and damp, with no sunlight or sun in sight.
”Take him away!”
First Island Owner's expression did not change, and did not even look at Meng Rou Er.
No one knew how unwell he was feeling at the moment. According to Meng Rou Er's mistake, dying ten times wasn't too bad, but that was after all him seeing his big granddaughter from a young age. Although he hated her for it, but in the end he still dared to make a move and even the bet between Meng Rou Er and Jiu Mu Li was not mentioned.
At the very least, locking him up in the water prison was better than crippling his cultivation and becoming a cripple.
Jiu Mu Li could also see through First Island Owner's thoughts, but she didn't say much in the end.
When Meng Rou Er was taken away, the entire First Island immediately quietened down. The First Island Owner, who was in high spirits, even started to dispatch people to prepare to take over the second and third islands.
Right at this moment, a piece of unexpected news came, causing First Island Owner to be overjoyed, because his grandson Meng Bu Si had suddenly returned.
”He's back, he's not dead. Quick, let him in.”
Following the orders, not long later, a young man in bright clothes, whose entire body emitted a wild and untamed Qi, arrived in front of First Island Owner.
Meng Bu Si!
Jiu Mu Li frowned, this Meng Bu Si did not look too bad, but he seemed to be a little too confident, just like a rooster with wings that cackled loudly. He looked up with his nose in the sky, like a typical second generation ancestor.
Seeing that, Jiu Mu Li could not be bothered to stay, and directly returned to his residence.
There were still nine days before the inheritance site opened, so she didn't have much time to reminisce about the past.
However, just as she returned to her room, she heard a report saying that Young Master Meng requested an audience.
”He's fine. Why is he looking for me?”
Jiu Mu Li frowned and rejected, ”Go tell Young Master Meng, I have to go into closed door cultivation for a period of time, so I shouldn't disturb you.”
Although Jiu Mu Li rejected directly, Meng Bu Si still refused to leave.
”Ninth Miss, I heard that you wanted to enter the inheritance grounds, so I went there once. I have some experience, so I can let the young miss know, if young miss would like to meet you?”
”Ninth Miss, I have a map of the place of inheritance. Would young miss be able to have a chat with me sometime?”
Meng Bu Si constantly tried to curry favor with him, causing Jiu Mu Li to be extremely annoyed. Feeling helpless, he opened the door and said to Meng Bu Si: ”Sir Meng, I am about to go into closed door cultivation, please do not disturb me, I am truly sorry.”
Meng Bu Si frowned, but quickly recovered his cheerful smile, and said politely: ”I understand, Ninth Miss must be in peak condition in order to enter the inheritance palace, but there is a rule that requires me to do it without delaying, and I coincidentally have a map of the location of the inheritance in my hand, just nice to gift to young miss.”
There was no need for him to be so polite!
Jiu Mu Li raised his eyebrows, how could he not know what the other party is planning, he secretly laughed, but his hand did not slow down at all, without hesitation he received it, and said: ”Then, thank you very much Young Master Meng.”
When you think about it, I feel very ashamed. Ninth Miss helped my grandfather so much, but just for the sake of the location of the inheritance, it is really embarrassing. Furthermore, the fact that Ninth Miss helped my grandfather cure the poison has not been greatly appreciated.
Meng Bu Si said elegantly.
Jiu Mu Li thought about it, and for a moment, she did not know what to say. In the face of Meng Bu Si's words, if she wanted to kick him out, she had to estimate First Island Owner's face.
When Meng Bu Si first met Jiu Mu Li, he was already extremely shocked, to the point of almost swearing that he would not marry anyone other than Jiu Mu Li, and was extremely attentive to him.
In terms of cultivation level, he was already a part of the Starer. In fact, under the attention of the First Island Owner, and even in addition to his years of training, his legacy was even more astonishing, and the other people in the same generation with deep roots were only jealous of him, so he was very confident.
And then there was the second time, which slowly made even Jiu Mu Li himself feel helpless.
All of these things were in Qin Zheng's eyes, he did not treat Jiu Mu Li much, but Meng Bu Si had angered him, causing him to become extremely unhappy, his face becoming gloomy and feeling extremely frustrated like never before.
Seeing Meng Bu Si being so attentive to Jiu Mu Li, he was enraged, and had the urge to kill him, this kind of feeling came out of nowhere, and suddenly, he did not know why it was like that, he could not understand.
If there was a smart person here, they would definitely remind him that he was jealous, but unfortunately, no one was there to remind him right now.
Jiu Mu Li was also extremely annoyed, and was not in the mood to take care of Qin Zheng either. Naturally, he did not notice Qin Zheng's abnormality either.
