Chapter 89 Repaying Kindness with Kindness, Presenting a Beautiful Tulip
As the heads of the Shui family and the top genius of the younger generation, would the two women do a losing business?
Of course not!
Qin Mu's talent and strength amazed even Shui Yu'er, and the Spirit Hall was willing to send two powerful Spirit Hall elders to protect him.
They even thought that Qin Mu was likely to be the next Pope of the Spirit Hall.
In addition, Qin Mu's previous actions in standing up for the Shui family because of Hu Yanzhen's matter further increased the two people's goodwill towards Qin Mu.
He is talented, capable, and upright.
How could someone like that not be worth the Shui family's investment?
Having made her decision, Shui Yu'er immediately pulled Qin Mu into a storeroom in the inner courtyard of their Shui family without further ado.
Unlike others, when they were still quite a distance from the warehouse, Qin Mu and his two companions felt an unusual chill.
As Qin Mu got closer, he saw that the entire surface of the warehouse was covered with a layer of ice crystals!
Led by Shui Yu'er, the group arrived at the warehouse door.
Pushing open the door, the most central experience was a piece of millennia-old icy marrow!
It's big enough that two people can lie flat on it.
Such rare and precious materials are used here solely for cooling.
Looking around, what came into view were ice silkworm cocoons that were shaped like crystals and were half a meter long.
"These are all the ancient ice silkworm pupae that our Shui family has left behind so far."
As Shui Yu'er spoke, a hint of disappointment crept into her voice.
These ice silkworm cocoons were originally kept to better cultivate the next generation of strong individuals, but now they are being handed over to others.
Putting everything else aside, if Shui Yu'er could refine all these ten-thousand-year-old ice silkworm cocoons, her spiritual power would be able to reach a new level.
At that time, we will be able to put up a fight even against a Title Douluo!
Looking at the entire warehouse full of ice silkworm pupae, Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said,
"Grandma Shui, have you really brought out the entire Shui family's wealth?"
"So, what will happen to your Shui family from now on?"
Shui Yu'er was well aware of Qin Mu's words.
"The prerequisite for the Shui family to develop better is that the Shui family must exist in the first place!"
A slight bitterness appeared on Shui Yu'er's still charming face.
"It might be Hu Yanzhen who comes today, but who will come tomorrow?"
"If a Title Douluo tries to coerce us next time, we will have no power to fight back."
"I'm saying all this just so you can appreciate the sincerity of the Shui family."
"If my Shui family is ever in trouble in the future, I hope you can lend a hand."
After Shui Yu'er finished speaking, she bowed slightly to Qin Mu.
However, Qin Mu did not accept the greeting and stepped to the left, avoiding Shui Yu'er.
Hearing Shui Yu'er's earnest words, and with Shui Yu'er and Shui Bing'er looking at him expectantly, Qin Mu shook his head.
"Why? Are these not enough?"
When Shui Yu'er saw Qin Mu's reaction, she assumed that there weren't enough ice silkworm cocoons and quickly explained to him.
"These are indeed all the ten-thousand-year-old ice silkworm pupae that our Shui family has accumulated over the years."
"The remaining ones are just relatively ordinary thousand-year-old ice silkworm pupae."
"If you need it, you can take it all!"
Shui Bing'er, standing to the side, couldn't help but gently bite her red lips, her face somewhat pale.
After all, we are at their mercy.
The Spirit Hall's power is so great that even if they directly demanded all the Ice Silkworm Pupae, the Shui family would never dare to say a word against it.
Seeing Shui Yu'er's anxious attitude and Shui Bing'er's silent demeanor, Qin Mu realized that the two of them had misunderstood him.
"Grandma Shui, Bing'er, I think you've misunderstood me."
"It's not that I think the quantity is insufficient, nor do I have any other intentions."
"However, I've never liked owing people anything."
"If someone treats me with respect, I will repay them tenfold; this is my principle in doing things."
As he spoke, Qin Mu rummaged through his Ruyi Treasure Pouch and soon took out a flower shaped like a tulip.
Upon seeing the flower, Yue Guan immediately jumped up and rushed forward to stop Qin Mu.
"Hey! Qin Mu, what are you doing?! Sometimes I really doubt if you even understand the value of these Immortal Herbs!"
Qin Mu simply smiled at Yue Guan's eager attitude and didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Yue Guan wanted to try again, but Ling Yuan pulled Yue Guan away.
"Alright, you know how Qin Mu acts; he's very sensible."
Ling Yuan looked up at Qin Mu, her eyes sparkling.
"Besides, if he treats the Shui family this way, how could he treat us any worse?"
The next sentence was spoken by Ling Yuan in a voice that only Yue Guan could hear.
After hearing Ling Yuan's words, Yue Guan gradually stopped what he was doing.
Watching Qin Mu walk towards Shui Bing'er with the Beautiful Silk Tulip, Yue Guan felt his heart bleeding, but he had to admit that Ling Yuan was right.
Qin Mu could have easily and forcefully confiscated the ten-thousand-year-old ice silkworm pupae that Shui Yu'er gave him.
He could also use the excuse of helping the Shui family out of their predicament to present these ten-thousand-year-old ice silkworm pupae as a gift of gratitude from the Shui family.
But Qin Mu didn't have any of them.
Faced with the valuable ice silkworm pupa offered to him by the Shui family, Qin Mu directly took out an Immortal Herb in exchange.
If they can repay kindness with kindness to outsiders, how could they possibly treat their partners any worse?
Qin Mu was unaware of the whispers between Ling Yuan and the other two behind him. Instead, he took the Beautiful Silk Tulip and walked straight toward Shui Bing'er.
Upon seeing Qin Mu's appearance, Shui Bing'er immediately misunderstood and a blush unconsciously appeared on her face.
Shui Yu'er, standing to the side, was also puzzled by Qin Mu's actions.
Upon arriving at Shui Bing'er, Qin Mu directly handed her the Beautiful Silk Tulip and slowly spoke under Shui Bing'er's somewhat expectant gaze.
"This is the Beautiful Silk Tulip, a very precious Immortal Herb."
"If I'm not mistaken, your Spirit should have some flaws, otherwise, with the strength of your Spirit, you definitely wouldn't have achieved what you have now."
"And it can make up for the defects in your Spirit, allowing your Ice Phoenix to completely evolve and become the Ice Phoenix with the purest bloodline!"
Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, Shui Bing'er's first reaction was disappointment, but upon hearing what he said next, her initial disappointment was quickly replaced by shock.
Shui Yu'er, who was standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise.
"An Immortal Herb?! It can actually help Bing'er complete her evolution?!"
Qin Mu simply nodded in response to Shui Yu'er's exclamation, confirming her statement.
