When the Lotus Clan’s patriarch arrived at the scene, it was already too late. When he saw that his wife was using the Divine Lotus to threaten the Master god and that her attitude was extremely bad and her tone was aggressive, he wished he could slap her to death. However, he did not attack in the end and only apologized to Ye Jiushang.
“My wife doesn’t know her manners and offended the Master god. Please forgive her. The Lotus Clan will naturally give you the Divine Lotus and have no complaints.”
The beautiful woman was still unconvinced. Even if she sensed the coldness emitted from Ye Jiushang’s entire body, she did not care. She only wanted to trade the Divine Lotus for the position of the god Empress and continue to threaten Ye Jiushang. “Master god, you can’t be so unreasonable. Even if you’re a god, it’s the same. The Divine Lotus is the most precious holy item of my Lotus Clan. It is the fruit of the blood and sweat of countless generations of the Lotus Clan. I can’t let you take it away for nothing.
“My requirements are not high. I just need the Master god to give up the position of the god Empress. Using the position of the god Empress to exchange for the Divine Lotus. Master god, you are a smart person. You should know that such a deal is very worth it.”
Hearing the beautiful woman’s suicidal words, the scene was silent. No one said a word. Even the patriarch of the Lotus Clan kept quiet, feeling conflicted. This was indeed a chance for the Lotus Clan to climb up. Once his daughter sat in the position of the god Empress, the Lotus Clan would be able to soar.
Should he take a gamble?
Zilian had also come to the scene. She stood in a corner and watched, waited, and hoped that this matter would succeed. Now that she was only one step away from the position of the god Empress, she really did not want to give up.
The Master god was so outstanding. To be able to become his woman and become the god Empress had always been her dream.
Just as everyone was silent and the Lotus Clan had their own thoughts, Ye Jiushang asked leisurely, “You keep saying that you want me to trade the position of the god Empress for the Divine Lotus. Then, please tell me what you have done for the Divine Lotus.”
Although Ye Jiushang had only asked calmly, the dignity and aura emitted from his body were enough to scare people to death.
“I…” The beautiful woman had been speaking self-righteously just now, but now, she could not answer Ye Jiushang’s question immediately.
Ye Jiushang did not give the beautiful woman time to think and continued speaking, “You are only an outsider who married into the Lotus Clan from outside. You have no contribution to planting the Divine Lotus. What right do you have to use the Divine Lotus to negotiate with me? If the Lotus Clan really wants to use the Divine Lotus to trade with me, let those old fellows from the Lotus Clan come. You have no right.”
“Also, who gave you the guts to shout in front of me? Didn’t anyone teach you the etiquette of the Divine Palace?”
“1…”
“Patriarch Lian, why don’t you tell me how to deal with this woman?” Ye Jiushang threw a difficult question to the Lotus Clan patriarch and deliberately made things difficult for him.
Don’t think he didn’t know that the entire Lotus Clan was thinking of using the Divine Lotus to threaten him and obtain the position of the god Empress. If not for the tacit approval of those old fellows from the Lotus Clan, how could a woman run to him and cause trouble? Furthermore, those old fellows from the Lotus Clan had yet to appear.
Were they planning to wait and see, or were they taking the opportunity to do something?
“This… I…” The patriarch of the Lotus Clan was really stumped by the question Ye Jiushang had thrown at him.
His wife had indeed committed an unforgivable crime, but she was still his wife. He could not bear to punish her too heavily, but if the punishment was not enough, it would dissatisfy the Master god.
What should he do?
Just as the Lotus Clan’s patriarch was at a loss, a servant ran over in a panic and said anxiously, “Patriarch, something bad has happened. The Divine Lotus has withered.”
