The Earth-Covering Butterfly swallowed it in one gulp, and a faint glow spread across its entire body, as if it had hidden a tiny sun inside.
The Cosmos Mirror Spirit's eyes bulged wide. "You... you... you've gone too far! Day and night, I've been helping you cultivate that damned sweetwood tree, and I've never seen so much as half a pleasant expression from you. Yet it does nothing but make trouble, and you reward it? You even call it well-behaved! Tell me, where exactly is it well-behaved?"
"It never voices any objections."
"Damn it! That's because its intelligence hasn't awakened and it can't speak at all. How could it raise objections? Is being stupid a reason to get rewarded?" The Cosmos Mirror Spirit completely broke down and plopped down beneath the sweetwood tree.
Lin Su looked at the old man's utterly miserable expression and nudged him with the tip of his foot.
The old man rolled over and refused to look at him. "Don't touch me. I'm stupid too now!"
"You are indeed stupid. Didn't you ever stop to think? When has anything Lin Mouren promised ever failed to come true? You have no patience, no confidence, and spend all day acting like a resentful wife. Then you blame me for always using you as a sparring partner. Tell me, for a resentful wife like you, if I don't beat you, who should I beat?"
The Cosmos Mirror Spirit shot to its feet. At that moment, its eyes shone brilliantly. "There's news of Moon Essence Concentrate?"
"Aren't you stupid? Why is it that now... you suddenly hear the stringed song and understand the elegant meaning?"
"Be stupid later! Hurry up and tell me, is there news of Moon Essence Concentrate?"
"What do you mean, news?" Lin Su curled his lip.
