Murong Mengxin asked curiously. "Can you tell me the story behind the song you played earlier, Young Master Tian?"
"Why are you so curious to know the story behind my song, Miss Murong?" Xia Tian asked with a mysterious smile, actually it was fine for him to tell her the story behind the song, but he was also curious about Murong Mengxin.
Murong Mengxin's heart skipped a beat at the sight of his smile, but she still managed to control herself, and said. "Because I can feel the great sadness and longing from you, and also the song reflects sadness and longing."
"En." Xia Tian nodded, then he explained. "The song is about a couple who love each other, but in the end their relationship was separated by death, because his wife died of old age, and her husband became devastated in grief because of her death, so he composed the song in memory of her. For hundreds of years he kept his late wife's body with him, while he searched for a way to bring her back to life, but in the end he failed miserably."
Xia Xing could already guess that Xia Tian was the one who created the song, because it was the story of his past with Liu Lifen. But not with Murong Mengxin, although she was amazed by the story, but she didn't just believe it, then she said doubtfully. "Somehow I feel that your story isn't real, because I've read too many stories before, but I never knew about your story before, Young Master Tian."
Xia Tian shook his head, then he asked. "Have you read all the stories and mysteries in this Seven Star World?"
Murong Mengxin was speechless, because Xia Tian's question was too ridiculous, since she was still only 24 years old, so it was impossible for her to do that.
Xia Tian chuckled at her reaction. "Even if you haven't heard my story before, that doesn't mean it isn't true, Miss Murong. I know that you are a smart woman, but there are many stories and mysteries in this world, and I'm sure you don't know all of them, because you are still too young, and your knowledge is still shallow."
Murong Mengxin was stunned by his words, obviously she was much older than Xia Tian, but for some reason she felt that Xia Tian seemed much more mature than her, then she sighed softly. "I understand what you're saying, Young Master Tian. I'm indeed still too young, and I still have a lot to learn."
"En, it's good that you can understand." Xia Tian nodded with a smile, then he stood up from his seat, as he spoke again. "I'll be waiting for news of the three ingredients, Miss Murong."
After he said that, Xia Tian immediately left with Xia Xing, leaving Murong Mengxin dumbfounded.
Soon a middle-aged woman with black hair in a bun wearing a black dress appeared beside Murong Mengxin, even though she was already middle-aged, her face still looked youthful and seductive. She has slanted black eyes with two thick eyebrows, plus a snub nose and sensual thin lips. She even wore a tight black dress which was quite sexy, her body was curvaceous with a sizeable bust of around 34E.
Murong Mengin then leaned back in her chair, and she looked up at the ceiling thinking about Xia Tian's words, as she asked, "What do you think of Xia Tian, Aunt Xue?"
"He's too mysterious, and it seems the rumors about him are false, Young Miss." Murong Mengxin then turned to her, and Lin Xue continued. "I don't dare to say it with certainty, but I can feel the energy of heaven and earth within his body for a moment. Besides, I feel that he knows about my presence, because I saw him glance at me several times."
"Really!?" Murong Mengxin was shocked to hear that. "But wasn't his spiritual root crippled by a mysterious person? So how could he have the energy of heaven and earth in his body?"
"I don't know, but I can feel his cultivation being at the 1st Stage Qi Gathering Realm for a moment." Lin Xue was silent for a moment thinking about something, Murong Mrngxin also fell silent thinking about Xia Tian's strangeness, a few moments later Lin Xue said again. "However, I've heard a song similar to his before, Young Miss."
"Hmm? Where did you hear a song similar to his, Aunt Xue?" Murong Mengxin asked with a raised eyebrow.
"In the Bai Kingdom, and the person playing the song is Third Princess Bai Yinyue." Murong Mengxin was surprised to hear that. "In my opinion, you should build a good relationship with him, Young Miss."
"En, I understand, Aunt Xue." Murong Mengxin nodded in agreement without hesitation, she herself could sense that Xia Tian was too mysterious, and she thought it would be great for her to have a good relationship with him.
------------------------------
"Why did you buy so many ordinary animals, Tian?" Xia Xing asked in confusion.
Since Xia Tian bought various kinds of aquatic animals, what's more, there are so many of them. He bought hundreds of tilapia and goldfish, besides that he also bought turtles, shrimps, and crabs.
Xia Tian then explained to her. "As you know, the pond in Xia Manor has been empty for a long time, so I want to use the pond to breed these animals, and I will sell these animals to Yu Suya later, that way I will make a lot of profit."
"Hmm?" Xia Xing stares at Xia Tian in confusion, she doesn't understand how selling ordinary animals can bring him a lot of profit, and she thinks that Xia Tian should hunt spirit beasts if he really wants to earn money.
Xia Tian chuckled at her reaction. "You'll find out later, Xing'er."
Before long they arrived at the outskirt, Xia Xing was immediately shocked because all the animals they had bought suddenly disappeared. "Where did all those animals disappear, Tian?"
"No need to panic, I moved everything to my space." Xia Tian replied with a gentle laugh.
"EH? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing, even storage rings can't store living things." Xia Tian could always provoke Xia Xing's curiosity.
He then said "I don't know how to explain it to you, Xing'er. But it's kind of a separate space, and animals can live in my space, and only I have the space in this world."
Xia Xing was speechless, because everything about Xia Tian was like a miracle to her. He could recover his own spiritual roots, plus his cultivation could increase very quickly, and many other things. But it also made her happy, because Xia Tian was a man she loved very much, and she would be his wife in the future.
Xia Tian was amused to see Xia Xing smiling to herself, then he hugged her waist, and they immediately returned to Xia Manor.
