Chapter 40: The Conditions of Morning Star

  Luosiqi was stunned, she didn't expect that being surrounded by those zombie-like monsters would actually be a backdoor opened by Batu God for herself.

  But anyway, it seems that Bátuōshén is willing to help herself get the Língxiān Cǎo. Luòsīqí was overjoyed and followed Bátuōshén's words, saying: "It's all a misunderstanding, sister! Quickly tell me where the Língxiān Cǎo is!"

  Bhadra smiled and said to Loskie, "Although my sister likes you very much now, I don't even know your names yet, so it's not good for me to just tell you the news you want to know!"

  Luosiqi hurriedly said that her name was Luosiqi, but the Bodhisattva still smiled and looked at her, suddenly enlightened, telling the Bodhisattva that the handsome young man who was still a little angry was called Chenxing.

  "Morning Star, Morning Star, what a great name!" Bhadra was very satisfied, but Chen Xing was obviously unhappy that Luo Siqi had casually mentioned his name. Luo Siqi hastily gave him an apologetic look, and Chen Xing helplessly sighed and fell silent.

  Luosi saw that Batuo was satisfied, so she asked her in a pleading tone: "Sister, now you know what we're called, shouldn't you tell me where the Lingxian grass is?"

  The Bodhisattva looked at Yu Luo beside him, pointing at him and saying to Luosi Qi: "Looking at your expressions, it seems like you know each other. My rules think you should also know a bit. Although sister looks at you with pleasure and appreciates Chen Xing this man, but rules are forever rules. I can tell you where the Lingxian grass is, and I can even tell you how to get it, only these won't be free. Are you willing to pay the price like him?"

  Luosi knew that the price mentioned by Batu God would not be something as mundane as money. She thought of the story Shi Hong told on that rainy night in the ancient temple, and how they had left early the next morning. They must have also come to Yinyu City to find Batu God. She wondered if they had obtained the Black Witchgrass from him, so she asked: "Sister, has someone named Shi Hong been here in the past two days?"

  The goddess Bada's expression changed slightly when Luosiqi mentioned Shi Hong, and she asked suspiciously: "Do you know him?" Luosiqi told her about the encounter that night and asked: "Sister, you won't really drink people's blood like he said, will you?" Luosiqi was joking, but Bada's expression made it clear that this joke wasn't funny. She stared blankly for a long time before also laughing, saying to Luosiqi: "Those conditions are for ordinary people; for sisters, some concessions can be made." Then she casually asked as if absent-minded: "Lingxian grass is extremely hard to get; you've come from afar to find it - there must be something urgent?"

  "Yes! My sister's family has someone who is seriously ill and urgently needs the Ling Xian Cao to cure them, so please hurry up and help your sister!" Luosi Qi couldn't help but beg Bada Shen as she was anxious to know how to obtain the Ling Xian Cao.

  Bhadra listened to her finish and started laughing again without speaking, Luosi only then realized that she had misspoken. She thought that since Bhatra had said earlier that they would trade, the seemingly unintentional inquiry just now was actually probing her bottom line. As the saying goes, "the more precious the goods, the higher the price to pay", but the words were already out, and regret came too late. She could only try to downplay the mistake she had just made by changing the subject, asking Bhatra: "Sister, haven't you told me if Shi Hong brought back the black witch grass from here?"

  Although Bada Shen was calculating in her heart the price that Luosi Qi would have to pay later, she did not hide anything from Luosi Qi's inquiry. She told Luosi Qi that Shi Hong had fulfilled his twenty-year-old promise and that the black witch grass had been brought back by his nephew.

  Luosi knew what it meant to fulfill the promise of Batu God because of what Shi Hong had told her on that rainy night. Thinking that Shi Hong, who was still alive in front of her not long ago, had been sucked dry by this beautiful woman, she didn't want to ask further about this matter. She pointed at Yu Luo and said to Batu God: "What about him? He didn't bring back the one he loved, why is he so willing to come back here?"

  Luosi omitted the two words "send to death" in order not to infuriate Batu, but Batu obviously knew what she meant. She smiled and pointed at Yu Luo: "Sister, you're talking about him! He came here for something he wants, but keeping customer confidentiality is still a rule here. Unless the customer himself reveals it, I won't disclose to anyone what customers come here to exchange."

  She said to Yu Luo: "I'm going to discuss business with Sister Siqi, I've promised you, you can go rest first, and the things that come next are not for you to know." After finishing speaking, she called over a subordinate to take him away. Before leaving, Yu Luo's gaze towards Luosi Qi was very complicated, but he still only nodded at Luosi Qi before following the subordinate down. Luosi Qi felt his back figure was very desolate, and she really wanted to call out to ask what else he needed, but now in Batu God's territory, her previous words made it clear that she wouldn't have a chance to ask. So she could only put on a strong smile and ask Batu God: "Sister, you can speak now, what do you want?"

  The Bodhisattva glanced at Chen Xing and smiled, saying: "Sister won't deceive you either. The Lingxian grass is indeed extremely rare to come by. If this man named Chen Xing were your servant, it would be great. You wouldn't need to offer his blood like Shi Hong did. Just hand him over to me, and as long as he accompanies me every day, I'll think of ways to help you obtain the Lingxian grass."

  Luosi didn't think that the Badao God would be infatuated with Chen Xing to such an extent. If she really had a good relationship with the Badao God like on the surface, she would definitely joke and say: "Then leave him for you!" But in reality, she couldn't do this at all. Not to mention that Chen Xing wouldn't agree, even if she herself didn't have the qualifications to ask Chen Xing to stay here - he was the great priest of the Moon God Sect! This time, accompanying her to find the Lingxian Grass already made him put aside many things that needed his attention on Lin Yue Peak. Han Yue also trusted her own words and let Chen Xing accompany her out. If she really used Chen Xing to get the Lingxian Grass, when she went back and let Han Yue know, wouldn't she be killed? Wouldn't the Moon God Sect's followers take Chen Xing back?

  The goddess saw that Rosalie wasn't speaking, thinking she thought the request was too difficult to agree to, so she continued: "Of course, sister knows this is impossible, but this man really attracts me, my heart, how can I put it, is unwilling to give him up!" As she spoke, she looked at Chen Xing with very deep and emotional eyes. The goddess's appearance was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, and although Chen Xing wasn't enchanted by her gaze, he couldn't be as angry as before, so he turned his head to the side, avoiding eye contact with her.

  Bhadra was even more delighted to see him like this, and she said to Luosi Qi: "Sister Siqi, look at him, he's actually embarrassed when I say I like him so straightforwardly, haha."

  Luosi knew that Chen Xing would not be the kind of man who would be infatuated with beauty, it's just that the current situation is awkward. In order to break this situation, she had to say: "Sister, you said you liked me and would let me take some steps, but you actually made fun of us like this! Can't you say something I can do? He's just my friend, I won't be able to make him stay here for a lifetime!"

  "Although you are just friends, sister has seen many people and can still see that you have a special place in his heart. You say you can't let him stay here for a lifetime, then sister will take a step back. How about you persuade him to stay here for a month?"
