#622 - Wu Gang of mysterious origin!

Marshal Tian Peng, forced to save face, could only laugh and say, "Wu Gang, you're right."

"Gifts should be made with one's own hands; that way, the sincerity is genuine."

Seeing Marshal Tian Peng speak like this, Wu Gang nodded, secretly thinking, "Just you wait, let's see how long you can keep up this tough act."

He had said that earlier, hoping Marshal Tian Peng would admit defeat.

After all, everyone cares about face, and Marshal Tian Peng had rushed over and berated him without rhyme or reason.

Wu Gang wasn't a saint, so naturally, he felt uncomfortable.

The fact that he could maintain a calm attitude and talk to Marshal Tian Peng was already a great act of generosity.

But he didn't expect Marshal Tian Peng to be so unappreciative, so he couldn't be blamed for what came next.

Wu Gang took away the osmanthus flower container, and after a few breaths, he returned with a container that was twice as large as the previous one.

Wu Gang said, "Marshal Tian Peng, this place is very barren; I only have two containers."

"The smaller one contains the osmanthus flowers I picked, so I can only lend you this large one."

Seeing this enlarged container, Marshal Tian Peng felt his scalp tingle. Filling it up would cost him half his life.

Marshal Tian Peng smiled awkwardly and said, "No need to trouble yourself so much; I have containers in my spatial ring."

Wu Gang feigned surprise and said, "Marshal Tian Peng, don't tell me you don't even know this?"

Marshal Tian Peng asked, "Know what? What should I know?"

Wu Gang said, "Osmanthus flowers must be stored in a special container; otherwise, their essence will quickly dissipate, and they will become no different from ordinary osmanthus flowers."

"You wouldn't want the osmanthus flowers you worked so hard to pick for Fairy Chang'e to become ordinary osmanthus flowers, would you?"

Speaking of which, Wu Gang added, "The jade rabbit in Fairy Chang'e's arms doesn't like to eat ordinary osmanthus flowers."

Wu Gang's three sentences struck right at the heart of Marshal Tian Peng.

Marshal Tian Peng had come all this way to pick osmanthus flowers, of course, to curry favor.

If the osmanthus flowers turned into ordinary ones, then this trip, and the process of picking the osmanthus flowers, would all be meaningless.

Thinking of this, Marshal Tian Peng cursed Wu Gang and the jade rabbit in his heart:

"That damn rabbit, how can its taste be so picky! It likes to eat this osmanthus flower; if I really have to fill this container, half my life will be gone."

"And this Wu Gang, you only have two containers; why don't you just pour the osmanthus flowers from the small container into the large one..."

"He's deliberately messing with me!"

Marshal Tian Peng didn't reflect on his earlier rude remarks at all.

Words spoken are like water spilled.

How arrogant he was earlier, how embarrassed he is now; this sentence perfectly reflects the current state of Marshal Tian Peng.

Wu Gang stood by the osmanthus tree, watching Marshal Tian Peng pick osmanthus flowers without saying a word, feeling a secret sense of pleasure in his heart.

His earlier words hadn't been a lie to Marshal Tian Peng.

Having cultivated to their level, deception was already a minor trick.

Wu Gang completely disdained using such minor tricks.

The osmanthus flower in the Moon Palace indeed had to be stored in a special container; otherwise, it wouldn't be long before it turned into an ordinary osmanthus flower.

But there was one thing Wu Gang hadn't told the truth about.

That was, the container for storing osmanthus flowers wasn't just two.

Wu Gang had been chopping down osmanthus trees here for who knows how long.

He didn't know how many crops of osmanthus flowers had bloomed, how could there only be two containers.

Wu Gang had a whole set of containers.

Of course, the large container that Marshal Tian Peng was currently using.

Was the larger one that Wu Gang had selected from his set of containers.

The purpose! Simple, it was to mess with this Marshal Tian Peng who had been rude to him.

Not long after picking osmanthus flowers, Marshal Tian Peng was already panting with exhaustion...

"This is really not a job for humans!" Marshal Tian Peng thought to himself.

Looking at the container, which was less than a tenth full of osmanthus flowers, Marshal Tian Peng's eyes rolled back.

He really wanted to faint just like that... but when he thought of Chang'e's beautiful appearance, strength suddenly returned to his body.

Taking out a pill to restore spiritual power from his spatial ring, Marshal Tian Peng swallowed it.

"Gulp~"

As the pill entered his mouth, Marshal Tian Peng's nearly exhausted spiritual power quickly recovered.

With his spiritual power restored, Marshal Tian Peng gasped for a few breaths and continued to work tirelessly.

Wu Gang looked at Marshal Tian Peng with a smile, especially when he saw sweat the size of soybeans dripping down, he couldn't help but feel a secret sense of pleasure!

Wu Gang thought to himself, "Just you wait, let's see you be rude again!"

"When I was chopping down osmanthus trees, you didn't even know what you were doing!"

Before long, Marshal Tian Peng's spiritual power was exhausted again, looking at the osmanthus flower container that had just been filled to a tenth.

Marshal Tian Peng couldn't hold on any longer, stopped picking osmanthus flowers, and rested aside to recover his spiritual power and stamina.

Wu Gang then stepped forward and pretended to be concerned, "Marshal, are you alright?"

"Are you tired? If you're tired, take a break!"

After saying this, Wu Gang walked to a place not far from Marshal Tian Peng, muttering in his mouth:

"Alas~ the younger generation is getting more and more useless, back then when I picked so many osmanthus flowers, I didn't even pant once."

These words were naturally heard perfectly by Marshal Tian Peng.

Wu Gang's voice, not to mention Marshal Tian Peng's cultivation level, even low-level cultivators who had just started cultivating could hear clearly.

Seemingly walking away, in fact, these words were deliberately said for him to hear.

A person needs face, and a tree needs bark, especially Marshal Tian Peng, who commands 100,000 naval soldiers in the Milky Way.

Hearing Wu Gang's words, Marshal Tian Peng's teeth itched with anger: "This scoundrel! Saying these words is definitely to anger me on purpose! This is truly outrageous!"

"Can't he see that I'm recovering my stamina and spiritual power?"

Knowing that the other party was doing it on purpose, Marshal Tian Peng had no choice but to stop resting and continue picking osmanthus flowers.

Otherwise, who knows if Wu Gang would spread his deeds everywhere.

If the news that Marshal Tian Peng, who commands 100,000 Milky Way naval soldiers, couldn't even pick osmanthus flowers spread out, his face would be completely lost.

At the same time, Marshal Tian Peng had a completely new understanding of Wu Gang's cultivation strength.

Wu Gang's background was mysterious. Before Marshal Tian Peng entered the Heavenly Court, he was already chopping down osmanthus trees here every day.

As for why he was chopping down osmanthus trees here, there were various rumors in the Heavenly Court.

Some say that he offended the Heavenly Emperor Haotian and was punished to chop down osmanthus trees here all day long.

Others say that he was a powerful figure from the early ancient primordial era.

Still others say that he was a member of the Witch tribe, and this osmanthus tree was a treasure of the Witch tribe, etc.

Opinions vary, and no one knows the real reason.
