990: Chapter 290: You Have a Daughter?
Chapter 290
She wasn’t a naive woman who thought that by offering some fine food and wine, along with sharing some wine brewing techniques, the other party would give her the Moonlight Grass she needed!
She just hoped that they could tell her the whereabouts of the Moonlight Grass…
“But… how is that possible?
How could it be?” the thin old man asked in some disbelief.
Mo Jiuli said nothing.
She was only waiting for their requests, and then she would be able to make her own demands!
“Little Girl, can I eat now?” the fat old man asked longingly, his eyes fixed on a large pile of delicious food.
“Yes!” Mo Jiuli nodded.
With Mo Jiuli’s permission, the fat old man immediately sat down and started feasting!
The thin old man was still staring blankly at the wine that Mo Jiuli had just brewed…
It took him a long while to come back to his senses, and, looking somewhat embarrassed, he cleared his throat and asked, “Little Girl, that is, can you teach me wine brewing techniques?”
“Yes…”
“However…”
Mo Jiuli replied with a slight smile upon hearing this.
The thin old man was overjoyed to hear Mo Jiuli say yes, but upon hearing her ‘however,’ he became somewhat speechless.
As expected, the girl wasn’t so easy to deal with…
“Just say it, what do you want?” the thin old man sighed lightly and asked.
He had figured it out, the girl was probably doing it deliberately tonight, knowing that they both loved her food and wine, so she had sent all those people away early on purpose…
She had actually been waiting for the two of them to take the bait, the old man thought, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Alas…
Even though he knew this, there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, the two of them didn’t have much they really wanted in life, just these small pleasures…
“I want a moonlight grass that can cure poison!” Mo Jiuli said earnestly, firm in her gaze toward the two old men.
The thin old man was about to refuse when he noticed the always arrogant and willful girl’s eyes filled with seriousness and determination, and out of curiosity, he asked, “Have you been poisoned?”
“No, it’s my daughter!” Mo Jiuli replied without hiding anything.
She knew that at this moment, if she didn’t show sincerity, it would be difficult to get the Moonlight Grass.
“Your daughter?
You have a daughter?” Even the fat old man, who was in the midst of eating, stopped in his tracks, staring at Mo Jiuli in surprise.
It wasn’t surprising that the two men were shocked.
Mo Jiuli’s statement was somewhat incredible to them!
Although they were not from this place, they had been to more than just this Continent…
Even on a lower-level Continent, twenty years of age is considered the prime time for cultivation, and few would choose to get married and have children!
Furthermore, on the Haotian Continent, and in their eyes, Mo Jiuli had great talent; they had never imagined that she would be married, let alone have a daughter…
You should know that, no matter which Continent, as long as one is capable of cultivation, their lifespan is very long!
Therefore, getting married is not something people rush into…
Most people would choose to get married only after achieving some strength, power, or status, and then for the sake of future generations!
Even those who are in love wouldn’t rush into having children after getting married, so Mo Jiuli’s words indeed shocked them…
“Yes, I have a five-year-old daughter!
She’s been afflicted with the Soul Devouring Poisonous Insect’s poison, and I need the Moonlight Grass to cure her!” Mo Jiuli stated directly.
“What?
Soul Devouring Poisonous Insect’s poison?
Did you say Soul Devouring Poisonous Insect’s poison?”
“Did you say Soul Devouring Poisonous Insect’s poison?”
The two old men asked in unison, almost in unison.
