Chrysanthemum Douluo's Scheme

Chrysanthemum Douluo's Scheme

An hour later, Li Xuan felt that the effects of the Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame had nearly worn off, so he returned to the outside of Lin Mo's cabin. After all, Li Xuan did not want to foul his ears.

Arriving outside Lin Mo's room, he carefully crouched beneath the window and listened closely to the sounds inside.

Li Xuan had just focused his senses when he heard snoring like sawing wood from inside the room. It gave him a fright. He had to admit, the soundproofing in this room was truly excellent.

Hearing the snoring inside, Li Xuan relaxed. Then, he carefully pushed open the window and leaped inside like a nimble cat, landing without a sound.

After entering the room, Li Xuan looked around and quickly found Lin Mo.

At that moment, two people lay on the bed, while the floor was a complete mess.

Li Xuan had a hard time finding a clean place to set foot.

Then Li Xuan took out a leaf from the Dark Domain Ghost Orchid from the Void Pearl and summoned the Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame. The flame instantly burned the leaf into a wisp of pale green powder.

With a wave of his hand, Li Xuan used Soul Power to push the powder onto Lin Mo.

As for the other woman in the room, Li Xuan directly released a strand of Soul Power that struck the back of her neck. Without making a sound or suffering any pain, she immediately fainted.

Li Xuan found a chair and stood on it. It could not be helped—he was too short and did not look intimidating at all.

Standing on the chair, Li Xuan cleared his throat and spoke to Lin Mo in a solemn voice.

"Lin Mo! Why have you not awakened at once?"

Li Xuan deepened his voice, his tone filled with authority.

Upon hearing Li Xuan's voice, Lin Mo groggily opened his eyes. The moment he did, he vaguely saw someone standing before him.

As his vision returned to normal, he realized that the person before him had a blue-faced, fanged appearance, looking just like an evil ghost.

Lin Mo was terrified. He rolled off the bed and scrambled to his feet.

"Y-You... who are you? I... I am Lord Chrysanthemum Douluo's distant grandson! If you kill me... y-you just wait for Chrysanthemum Douluo to hunt you down!" Lin Mo shrank back and asked Li Xuan in utter terror.

"So what if it is Chrysanthemum Douluo? From the heavens above to the underworld below, what threat could a mere Title Douluo pose to me?" Li Xuan raised a hand and spoke to Lin Mo in a furious voice.

"Spare me, Senior! Spare me, Senior!" Hearing Li Xuan's words, Lin Mo was frightened out of his wits. Though he could not understand what Li Xuan was saying, he could tell that the ghostly deity before him did not fear Chrysanthemum Douluo. He fell to his knees on the bed and repeatedly kowtowed to Li Xuan.

"Let me ask you this: why did you come here? If your answer satisfies me, I shall spare your life." Li Xuan continued to question Lin Mo with majesty.

"This lowly one came here to pry out the secrets of that little bastard Li Xuan," Lin Mo said while kneeling on the bed, his voice trembling.

By then, Lin Mo had been scared witless by Li Xuan, and his mind had already shut down. Whatever Li Xuan asked, Lin Mo answered.

"Hm? What secret?" Li Xuan asked Lin Mo again.

"Lord Chrysanthemum Douluo said that Li Xuan should possess a method that can speed up plant Cultivation. I am to find a way to pry that method out of him. Then Lord Chrysanthemum Douluo can make me the supervisor of the Flower Sea's four major districts! At that time, all these thousands of Flower Slaves will be under my command! The Flower Sea will be my world!" Lin Mo said to Li Xuan somewhat manically. He had already lost his fear of the illusion before him, his face filled with madness.

"What the hell? Did the Dark Domain Ghost Orchid hit too hard?" Li Xuan froze for a moment, then muttered in confusion as he looked at Lin Mo.

"Then how will Li Xuan be dealt with after losing that secret?" Li Xuan asked Lin Mo loudly.

"As long as I pry out that method, Li Xuan will have no value left. Then I can kill him! I will use every punishment I know on him! Who told him to possess such an ability at such a young age? I hate it so much! Why am I not the one with that ability?!" By the end, Lin Mo was gritting his teeth. When he raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Li Xuan.

"Damn! Lin Mo is far too narrow-minded. Don't worry. Once I dig out a passage to escape this place, I will definitely make you into... fertilizer!" Li Xuan snorted coldly, looking at Lin Mo with icy eyes.

Li Xuan recalled that after crossing over, his way of thinking had not adjusted in time, so he had done quite a few foolish things.

He had even exposed part of his abilities!

Then Li Xuan reflected on himself. It seemed that he had to be more cautious in the future. Without a ninety-nine percent certainty of success, how was that any different from courting death?

His skill in lying low still needed more improvement!

But this was not the time for Li Xuan to reflect. He still had to take care of the proper business first!

"How much time did Chrysanthemum Douluo give you to complete this task?" Li Xuan asked Lin Mo again.

Now that Lin Mo had become crazed, Li Xuan became bolder with his questions.

"One year. If Li Xuan cannot cultivate the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum within one year, I can use other methods to force the answer out of him. When that time comes, I will make Li Xuan experience at least the cruelest punishments in this world!" Lin Mo answered listlessly as he knelt on the bed with unfocused eyes. His energy had already been spent.

Looking at Lin Mo, Li Xuan considered what else he wanted to ask. In the end, he felt that he had already learned everything he wanted to know. With a wave of his hand, a strand of Soul Power struck the back of Lin Mo's neck, and Lin Mo fainted as well.

Looking at the two unconscious people on the bed, Li Xuan let out a sigh of relief. Then he carefully left Lin Mo's room and returned to his own.

Lying on his bed, Li Xuan began to think.

His abilities had been exposed, but not completely. Only his ability to cultivate plants had been revealed, so the level of danger he faced was far lower than if everything had been exposed.

If the Little Green Bottle's abilities were completely exposed, it would not be Lin Mo coming after him. Chrysanthemum Douluo himself would act.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan felt a lingering fear. It seemed that whatever he did in the future, he had to be cautious, cautious, and even more cautious.

Still, for his own safety, he had to be even more careful whenever he used the Little Green Bottle in the future.

"Still, Chrysanthemum Douluo has left me plenty of time. One year is more than enough to dig through a tunnel." Li Xuan rubbed his smooth chin and muttered to himself.

"And this year will be enough for me to sweep clean all the rare plants in the Flower Sea's first and second districts." Li Xuan smiled faintly, revealing a satisfied expression.

However, this was not the time for Li Xuan to relax. Chrysanthemum Douluo had launched a surprise attack on him last time and nearly blasted his greatest secret into the open, so Li Xuan had to dig out the tunnel as soon as possible!

Just in case!

Thank you all, dear readers, for your support. Tomorrow is the weekend. I wish you all happiness and joy every day.
