Xiao Yuwei narrowed her eyes slightly after hearing this.
She then glanced at Jiang Xiaobai, understanding that they must have crossed paths before.
Xiao Wuwei must know that Jiang Xiaobai had found the Ghost Mother Flower, otherwise he wouldn’t have said such a thing.
“Sadly, it seems that this time, this prince has extremely good luck.”
With that, Xiao Wuwei, with no attempt to hide anything, brought out two Ghost Mother Flowers!
The moment the Ghost Mother Flowers were seen, shock filled the faces of all those present.
“Who would have thought that the Third Prince would have such fortune, not only finding the Ghost Mother Flower, but two of them!” Strong individuals from the Thousand Yuan Dynasty commended excitedly upon seeing this.
“Thanks for the compliment, Elder Sun. This is a result of exploring other areas. Why don’t you take a look first?”
Xiao Wuwei handed over a storage ring and gave Xiao Yuwei a challenging glance.
Xiao Yuwei had no expression on her face, but her hand hidden within her sleeve was clenched tightly into a fist.
“Dammit, to think he would stumble upon such immense luck!”
Two Ghost Mother Flowers, it wasn’t as simple as coming in first, the rewards from the dynasty would be abundant. These kinds of rewards couldn’t be measured just in spirit stones.
“Congratulations on your good luck, Third Brother,” Xiao Yuwei said lightly with a smile.
If under such circumstances she still manages to keep a straight face, it proves how deep her schemes run.
“Hehe, Seventeenth Sister, you’re not doing bad either, having a Ghost Mother Flower. Father will reward you greatly too,” Xiao Wuwei smirked.
“What are you talking about, Third Brother? I can’t compare to you,” Xiao Yuwei replied nonchalantly.
Inside, her rage was overwhelming, and her nails were digging into her flesh.
“Oh? The Seventeenth Princess also encountered a Ghost Mother Flower? This is indeed fortunate for our dynasty.” Upon hearing this, a strong individual started looking at Xiao Yuwei with a grin.
Xiao Yuwei felt like ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping in her mind. She felt incredibly uncomfortable, as if she had eaten shit.
She could only force a smile and nod, preparing to offer up her storage ring.
What no one expected was, at this moment, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly spoke up.
“Does Your Highness want to get first place this time?”
At Jiang Xiaobai’s words, everyone was stunned. This included not just Xiao Yuwei and people from Qi Na Yuan Dynasty, but even powerful individuals from other forces who were responsible for overseeing the palace.
Finding a Ghost Mother Flower was extremely rare and required extraordinary luck. Even coming across one within such a short period could be considered hitting the jackpot.
Not to mention Xiao Wuwei managing to find two, that was an insane stroke of luck.
But now, a young man with a remarkably handsome appearance suddenly made such a statement, which undeniably raised eyebrows.
Xiao Yuwei stared intently at Jiang Xiaobai: “Are your words true?”
“Of course they’re true. However, it depends on what price Your Highness is willing to pay,” Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes.
At this moment, there was no doubt that he had to stir things up.
He had been annoyed for quite some time by Xiao Yuwei. If he found an opportunity and didn’t seize it, that wouldn’t be his style.
“Hmph, arrogant!”
Xiao Wuwei sneered coldly: “Boy, don’t think that because my Seventeenth Sister values you and let you enter the Mad Demon Secret Land with her that you can talk nonsense.”
“Nowadays, if one wants to secure first place, they need to produce more Ghost Mother Flowers than me. Everyone knows that encountering the Ghost Mother Flower requires astronomical luck.”
“Even with that kind of luck, you actually have the audacity to talk like this?”
“Are you just trying to show off in front of my Seventeenth Sister? Do you think we’re all fools?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After all, encountering the Ghost Mother Flower was incredibly difficult.
But when Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan heard this, they couldn’t help but find it amusing.
To others, encountering a Ghost Mother Flower might be difficult, but for Jiang Xiaobai, it was a different story.
Not only could he find one, but he could find many – many more.
If he had enough time, he could even collect all the Ghost Mother Flowers within the Swamp of Death.
“Third Prince, you seem to lose your temper very easily,” Jiang Xiaobai said with a smirk. “Is it because you failed to snatch the Ghost Mother Flower from me?”
Immediately, Xiao Wuwei was angered.
He had been fine not talking about the previous situation, but now being reminded of it by Jiang Xiaobai, he felt as if he had eaten shit – uncomfortable and humiliated.
As the Third Prince of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, he held a high position and was respected by many.
When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
The lumps on his face were like ugly toads. They could disgust one to death.
Luckily, he had a top-grade pill that could cleanse the poison, or else he wouldn’t even have the face to meet others.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wuwei glared at Jiang Xiaobai: “Bastard, do you think I can’t kill you?”
“Third Brother!”
Xiao Yuwei suddenly interjected in a cold huff, “I am still here, Third Brother. No matter what you say, he is mine. Is it not disrespectful to me to speak like this in front of me?”
Xiao Yuwei’s sudden intervention caught everyone by surprise.
Even Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback. However, he quickly realized that Xiao Yuwei did this on purpose. She wanted to demonstrate how she treats her subordinates in this situation.
Upon realizing this, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help scoffing inwardly. She was a woman with deep schemes indeed and never missed an opportunity.
“Seventeenth Sister, this guy is just trying to impress you with his words. Ghost Mother Flowers are precious. If he really had two, wouldn’t he have given them to you already?” Xiao Wuwei mocked.
Having heard this, Xiao Yuwei hesitated. She reflected on Jiang Xiaobai’s recent actions and realized that he hadn’t treated her like a boss. Now that he said this in public, was he just trying to make her feel embarrassed?
“No, this guy never does anything without certainty. He must have another Ghost Mother Flower.”
“So why not give it a try? If he dares to trick me, I will expose his identity right now.”
She knew there were many people here who hated Jiang Xiaobai very much.
With that, Xiao Yuwei sneered, “Well, Third Brother, maybe he really does have one.”
“You’re right, I do have another Ghost Mother Flower.”
Jiang Xiaobai said with a smirk as he looked at Xiao Yuwei, “Only, I’m not sure what Your Highness would be willing to offer in exchange for this Ghost Mother Flower.”
After saying this, another Ghost Mother Flower appeared in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand.
Everyone was dumbfounded, he actually had another one?
What exactly is going on today? Xiao Wuwei produced two Ghost Mother Flowers, and now there was one with Xiao Yuwei?
While everyone was still reeling from the shock, Jiang Xiaobai’s left hand opened once more, revealing another Ghost Mother Flower.
Everyone was stunned on the spot.
