What Yue Han said made it sound like it was the Moon Queen's idea to give Yue Gongxue a big wedding and plenty of gifts! Whoever dared to object to it were gig against the Moon Queen and the two ladies at the same time!
The Moon Queen couldn't maintain her decent appearance anymore, opening her mouth and looking at the two ladies. [Listen to you… Prime Master and Prime Master… but… I… I didn't say that, did I? I… I didn't say anything yet! Why do you talk like those are all my ideas?]
"Well…" She looked pretty awkward.
[No… It is already across the baseline to let Yue Gongxue go with Ye Nantian… How could I put on a wedding for them? Plenty of gifts? Thousands of times more? What a bloody joke!]
"My sister is right!" Yue Shuang didn't give the Moon Queen any chance to speak. "We Qiong-Hua Palace can't lose that face! We sisters agree with Moon Queen's decision!"
"That's right!" Yue Han nodded, "We must make a particular effort on the gifts. We must make sure there are nothing plain, cheap and low are put into the package. It will make us look like a joke. Our Moon Queen supports this wedding! We have to show the world the best we have! We must show the world our true capability!"
"Absolutely!" Yue Shuang complimentary looked at Yue Han, "Han-er has absolutely said all that was in my heart! For the fame of our sect, for making the world in awe of our power, we must give the bride the best we have! Hmm… I think we should make it ten thousand times more than the ordinary…"
[Holy hell!]
Everybody else shouted the same words in the heart!
[Ten thousand times more now huh? That can't be more ridiculous! What the hell are you thinking?]
"Listen up, guys. We are all staying together here. Let's discuss it. Our specialties… Hmm. There should be at least eighty Qiong-Hua Pearls, shouldn't it? That should be enough to beautify the gift packs. That is our best specialty! And the Pure Lotus Seeds! Eighty will do… No need to give her more. Hmm. As for the regular treasures like Ice Essence Soul, just make it one hundred of each… Good… Oh, right… What else will shock everybody in the first sight? Come on, think about it. This is not just a public affair, guys. We will have to add on some gifts privately!"
The others all felt fainting.
[Are they crazy?]
[Losing one hundred of each of those treasures, the entire Qiong-Hua Palace might collapse immediately…]
[The pearls are surely our specialty. It glows in the dark and works excellent in curing wounds. The powder of the pearls is perfect healing medicine. However, only the Ice Soul Mussels that live tens of miles beneath the palace make such pearls. It is difficult for such creatures to live, even more difficult for them to make the pearls. One hundred Ice Soul Mussels may only make one pearl in ten thousand years. Yet the two sisters actually asked for a hundred? To beautify the gift packs? With the pearls? Really?]
[The Pure Lotus Seed is also a specialty of the palace. It saves lives from death, also cures mental diseases. It is even rarer and more preciously than the pearls! It takes ten thousand years for the lotus to bloom, and the seeds appear for a short time after that. If they are not collected in time, they will disappear and become spiritual energy in the air… Such lotuses barely grow in other places. Whenever the lotus seeds appear, there will be a war in the palace. What a precious treasure! How could you ask for a hundred of it? We have merely a little bit more than one hundred in total! Do you want us to give her all we have?]
[And you said that the Ice Essence Soul is some regular treasure, didn't you? That is our lifeblood! If we lose one hundred of it, the palace will collapse in one month…]
[And you even asked for more?]
[Are you serious? You want us to give the bride some private gifts too?]
[You two are totally insane… Since when did you become so generous? You are full of nonsense!]
[If we truly give Yue Gongxue all those you mentioned, we are giving the entire Qiong-Hua Palace to her!]
"Cough cough cough…" The Moon Queen suddenly started coughing with a red face.
She was the most embarrassed at the moment. Everybody knew that deep in her heart, she didn't want Yue Gongxue to go. She knew it. Yue Han and Yue Shuang knew it. Ye Nantian knew it. The others all knew it. However, she couldn't take back what she had said, could she? She had to keep going!
Yue Shuang and Yue Han talked like they were delivering the same ideas with the Moon Queen. In another word, the two ladies named those treasures in behave of what the Moon Queen had said! It wasn't that preposterous!
The ladies might need to take responsibility for it, but the Moon Queen had to be responsible for most. Other than that, she couldn't explain!
Ye Nantian was already lost in confusion. What happened was muddling his head.
When he entered the hall and saw these people's cold faces, he knew the Moon Queen wouldn't go easy with it.
However, things developed unexpectedly. Yue Shuang and Yue Han actually raged up and started an uproar in the crowd… They actually turned the situation over…
Ye Nantian thought that it was enough just to take his beloved wife home. He was overjoyed, but then surprised when the two ladies began to be rapacious…
[Is this normal? The two ladies, who should be on the palace's side, actually ask for gifts for us?]
[They are so bold and confident… as if they would love to give up everything for us…]
Not to mention the Moon Queen, even Ye Nantian was lost in confusion.
[Is this world… too much of a magical world? Isn't it crazy? Unbelievable!] Ye Nantian thought.
After the two ladies' long speech, the main hall of Qiong-Hua Palace was in silence.
The Moon Queen's embarrassed cough was the only thing that resounded in the hall.
