Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 214: Lin Yourong

Li Mo had placed the dried and all rotten up Dao Comprehending Tea tree in a pot. He then set up a mini Spiritual Gathering Array to give it a constant flow of spiritual qi.

Yet after all these days, the Dao Comprehending Tea tree had yet to show any sign of change.

Li Mo added the three peach stones next to the tree as well and used Verdant Tree Art to nurture their wood spiritual qi. 

Verdant Tree Art was among the very best cultivation methods. It could even revive a dried up plant. It was for this reason Li Mo did the exchange with Yang Hongying for the dead Dao Comprehending Tea tree. 

Li Mo stopped after an hour, then inspected the stones and the tree.

If it was just dried up, one use of Verdant Tree Art wouldve done the trick and save the Dao Comprehending Tea tree, but it wasnt your common plant. A plant of an immortal variety needed a hundred years, at the least, even with the Verdant Tree Art. 

Despite the long road ahead, Li Mo still did it. Spending a century growing the Dao Comprehending Tea tree was totally worth it.

As for the peach stones, he had no expectation. An immortal peach tree needed a unique environment, unlike a Dao Comprehending Tea tree. Wood spiritual qi was far from enough, it needed the right conditions and the right place.

Earths state was pretty much just like the Heavenly Courts planet, so the odds of growing the three peach stones were next to nothing.

Li Mo was using the Verdant Tree Art on them to improve their quality, preparing them to be refined into pills when needed.

Li Mo stayed for half a day home before leaving for the capital. 

The Yang girl entered the study and held the three peach stones. Her eyes misted over but sighed in the end.

She blew a breath over them and the tea tree. The four plants vitality bolstered, with the Dao Comprehending Tea tree even glowing.  

Wang Po said: Sir, listen closely. Every single love affair can be described in two words: very difficult. 

Sir, said old woman Wang, You may have heard, perhaps, of setting a love snare. The expression implies much that is difficult and is, indeed much so. Before a man can set about this love snare business with any prospect of success, five things are essential. He must be as handsome as Pan An. His member must be at least as large as a donkeys. He must be as rich as Deng Tong, and reasonably young. Finally, he must have plenty of time on his hands, and almost endless patience. If you possess all these qualifications, you may think of going in for this sort of entertainment.

A donkeys member? Whats that?

The Yang girl was holding in her hands the infamous book The Golden Lotus, her pure eyes covered in curiosity.(T/N: The Golden Lotus is a most graphic, controversial, illicit, and very banned Chinese novel.) 

Shed been doing nothing but hitting the books since she came into Li Mos home. She started slow, with history books, and now she was savoring Ye Xiaolus recommendations. Such as Monk Deng Cao, Romance of the Western Chamber, The Golden Lotus, and many many others. (T/N: you guessed it, equally illicit and equally banned Chinese works of literature). She took them with open arms, reading them from cover to cover. And despite their true meaning eluding her, she found the read quite enjoyable. 

Li Mo just stepped into the meeting room of the headquarters building, only to see the Zheng brothers snickering at him. 

All inspection teams members were there, as well as Lin Yourong, elders Lin Yourong, Jiang Li, and Luo Tieshi.

Except chief Yao Changsheng, all the important figures were there.

Disgraceful Li Mo, you still dare show yourself here? Zheng Hualong stood.

Li Mo spared him but a glance, then his eyes drifted unknowingly to Luo Tieshi.

Luo Tieshi was precisely one of the two heads of the eleven fierce alien races coalition, Rosa!

Luo Tieshi took the appearance of a strong black man. He not once showcased his power, and the reason for his position was thanks to his refining skill.

The number of fifth-grade tool refining grandmasters on Earth could be counted on one hand.

But no disguise could shield Li Mos Celestial Eye. His true appearance was that of a huge black cockroach.

Zheng Huahu spat, You stole leader Wangs heirloom, Dragon-descending Sword then pinned the blame on us. Li Mo, did you really think no one would find out?

When Wang clans heirloom has gone missing, we were all in the Wang Estate, except for you!

I can testify to that!

I as well!

Why bother? He clearly stole it!

Thats exactly right!

The team members put the blame entirely on Li Mo.

Li Mo never heard of any Dragon-descending Sword. They were clearly framing him. 

Only Lin Qingrou didnt join showering him in accusations. She was neither for nor against.

Li Mo walked to Lan Yue, presenting Farmer God Cauldron and the Dragon Herb.

This

Zheng Huahu, Zheng Hualong, and the members were bug-eyed.

They had no frickin clue how Li Mo got his hands on them. If they did, they wouldnt be slandering him for stealing some Dragon-descending Sword.

Lan Yue inspected the Farmer God Cauldron closely, Team leader Li Mo has reported to me the findings of Farmer God Cauldron the moment he got them.

As for the lot of you? I thought I sent you to inspect the truth of Farmer God Cauldron and Dragon Herb, not help Wang Yexing catch some thief! Lan Yue slapped the table.

Zheng Huahu and Zheng Hualong were slack-jawed.

Li Mo had brought the Dragon Herb and Farmer God Cauldron. Forget about even framing him now. In fact, Lan Yue might even absolve him, if he ever stole something. 

Team leader Li has completed the mission and will receive the full reward. As for the rest of you

Humph, return to your bases. Your elite status is temporarily revoked!

Silver Heroine, its good you did not go along with them. Captain Li has also informed me you are the only one who helped him complete this mission. Captain Lis success is your success!

Lin Qingrou smiled at Li Mo.

Li Mo, you are now the official inspection team leader of the headquarters. You are allowed to make an inquiry into any base as you wish. Silver Heroine, you shall work under him!

Li Mo returned her gesture with a smile of his own.

I disagree. The only female elder, Lin Yourong stood.

Lin Yourong was 39 but looked like a gorgeous girl in her twenties. But just as Lin Qingrou, an icy beauty, with arrogance to spare. Lin Yourongs asset wasnt like Lin Qingrous, a pretty face, but the bountiful and bouncy pecs.

Perky and large enough, they reached a whopping 36D! 

What common folk didnt know was, Lin Yourong was Lin Qingrous aunt.

Leave us!

Lan Yue spat to Zheng Hualongs group, who looked as if they were chocking on a fly.

Elder Lin has something to say?

Lin Yourong began, Silver Heroine and ream leader Li are both newcomers. They are too inexperienced. Letting them work together wouldnt be appropriate.

Hmm, I see your point. Lan Yue nodded

Heres how we do it. Silver Heroine will be a temporary elite in the headquarters, on stand-by for her next mission, while team leader Li will remain as inspection team captain with me providing temporary help.

Good. Well do it as Elder Li proposed.
