久久综合激激的五月天

To Scarlet's dismay, a few chuckles went around in the room. More than one person had found her words funny. Not Esong Wu though, he neither smiled nor reacted. 

She assumed that he was thinking about throttling her because of her words. 

But she was dead wrong! Esong Wu was not furious at Scarlet and he never heard her words because he was smitten with her new looks. She looked extremely beautiful, modest and calm. 

Esong's favorite place in the world was at the side of an ocean. It was always calm, beautiful and steady. That is what she reminded him of, the ocean. At the same time, she was bright and glowing, he could only compare her glow to one of the suns in the empire. 

When did woman change so much and what prompted this change? Did she realize that her old methods of seduction would not work so she found a new way?

"No, get a grip of yourself, you can never allow this woman to come close to you."

He reminded himself that he had seen more beautiful women and aside from being the mother of his son she was not special.

He could hear the chuckles coming from around him and his cousin Markay tapped him on the back.

"You wife is very funny brother." he said. 

"Yes," he responded, "Very funny." 

He watched her touch her hair with her right hand and push it to the back of her ear. 

Such a small feminine action that she had done many times and yet today it was more captivating.  The faint blush of embarrassment on her cheeks was alluring. He struggled to take his eyes away from her. 

"I am so sorry, what I meant to say was that Justin would you like to meet your father?" Scarlet said.

She pushed him forward and sent him in Esong's direction. While most of their eyes moved to Justin, she squeezed herself on the sofa next to Adler. 

"What did I miss?" she whispered to him?

"He brought some people along but he has not introduced them yet." Adler told her. 

Carolyn was sitting on Adler's other side and she whispered to them, "The cold juice is over. I think they came from a desert because they are dying of thirst."

Scarlet chuckled as if that was so funny. When her eyes met her mother's gaze, she stopped chuckling. Her mother was giving her a stern look that was warning her to behave. 

It was the same look that all mothers in every world and realm across all species gave their misbehaving children. 

She whispered to Adler, "Who is chairing this meeting?" 

"Our father." Adler whispered back. 

She leaned back against the sofa and closed her eyes, accessing the underworld forum with her mind. She went to the section of plants and sent in a question. 

"Is anyone selling sugar canes?"

An instant reply came in, "Check Soul master 011's shop."

Apparently, even the underworld was capitalist because grim reapers could set up shops to sell their merchandise. The only currency accepted was crystals, pure purifying water, pills, spiritual plants, rare plants and strong soul beasts. 

Almost every shop had the tag, 'No credit accepted.'

She searched for Soul master O11 and checked his products. Most of them were normal plants and some spiritual plants.  Almost all the plants she could recall from earth were available here. The price differed for all the plants, and some specifically could only be purchased with high quality crystals. 

She could use three ordinary crystals to purchase three hundred sugarcanes. She put in the order immediately and three crystals vanished from her soul gourd. 

'Your purchase has been sent to your soul gourd.' 

"Is the soul gourd some kind of storage space?" she asked herself.  Weapons could be kept in there, pets could sleep in there, pills, crystals and herbs could be kept in there. It had to be a space of some sort.

  As her purchase had been successful, she opened her eyes with a smile on her beautiful face. Looks like sugar would not be one  of her challenges in this world. She would earn more crystals to purchase more of them, these three hundred were far from enough. 

Her eyes met Esong's piercing intense gaze and she looked away.

"Why is he staring at me like that? Even if he doesn't like me, he should not make it so obvious. " She thought. "Where is that greedy Severus when I needed a distraction?"

She could just pet his body and pretend without her eyes having to meet his every few seconds. 

"Severus." She called the hound. 

"What?" He replied lazily.

"Come and sit with me." She said. 

"Too many humans, too chatty, what is that thing you said.....out, His highness Lord Severus out." He answered. 

She imagined herself rolling him up like dough and beating his ass.

"Aren't soul pets supposed to help soul cultivators? Why are you so difficult?"

"I am a hound of hell not a silly pet like a double clawed lizard."

She wanted to argue some more but the guest sitting close to Esong cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

"We are sorry for suddenly imposing ourselves on you without prior warning." He said gently.

He was an equally handsome man, tall and on the slim side. He had these pale icy blue eyes that would unnerve you if he stared at you for too long. They held an accusatory quality about them. In her mind, she recalled a zombie king who had such eyes. That zombie king wiped out thousands of humans before he was killed.

"We are always happy to welcome someone from the royal household seventh prince." Her father answered. 

She looked at him again when her father called him a prince. What could royalty be doing here? Was he here to take the planet back?

"I am very glad to hear you say that Baron Su. I know that we have not met before but I have heard good things about you." The seventh prince flattered Dorian Su.

Dorian laughed nervously, "Thank you seventh prince." he replied.

Anyone in this room could easily tell this was flattery because aside from being a great family man, nothing else about Dorian Su was known. In that case, what possible good things could the seventh prince have heard.

The seventh prince replied "Please call me Markay, we are family after all." 

Scarlet chortled, very loudly.
