123: 123 Creator’s Bad Taste 123: 123 Creator’s Bad Taste “A new species never recorded in the Plant World?”

“Now we can benefit from the Xia Family’s glory.”

“Deserving of the Xia Family indeed, compared to others, what do we even have?”

“And to say there are no rare items?

That’s too modest!”

The bigwigs were discussing fervently; those who usually had no business dealings with the Xia Family also turned their gaze toward Xia Yuzheng.

From their expressions, it was clear they really liked it.

Discussing tens of millions in deals might not even elicit such covetous looks.

Suddenly becoming the center of attention at the conference, Xia Yuzheng said, “This…”

Truthfully, he was bewildered.

Receiving a plant determined by a botanist as a new species, his joy was beyond words.

But strangely, where did this plant come from?

He certainly hadn’t bought it.

Old Han circled the plant taking pictures, turning around incredulously, “Old Xia, where did you get this treasure from?

Got any good places you’re keeping even from me?”

Xia Yuzheng really couldn’t answer that question, so he politely sought out the botanist again, “Old sir, even you can’t name it?”

The botanist was an elderly grandfather with white hair and a scholarly look, wearing a moon-white lab coat and fine-framed reading glasses on the bridge of his nose.

He stroked his fluffy white beard, the light in his eyes flickering, “How could I name it if it’s a new species?”

“Old sir, you must take a look!”

“This… What’s happening here?”

The crowd around the plant burst into noise again; the botanist quickly stepped forward.

He signaled for everyone around to make no sound.

“Crack, Crack, Crack…”

Once everyone quieted down, they could hear the sound of the plant pot seeming to crack.

Seconds later, the plant pot actually split completely from top to bottom along the cracks.

The botanist’s face changed color, but fortunately, they had resources there; he hurried back into the house and took out a precious plant pot he had long cherished.

With this plant pot out, the crowd gasped in amazement.

Everyone knew the botanist had a top-tier purple clay plant pot.

Five-digit prices really weren’t much for these bigwigs, but the key was that the purple clay plant pot was perfectly fired, extremely difficult to craft.

They all knew the botanist had one, but couldn’t find a place to buy one.

This plant pot was extremely exquisitely crafted and its water and air permeability and other aspects of performance were superior; people had always joked with the botanist, “Such a fine plant pot, you can’t bear to use it and won’t sell it to us, we have to see what kind of top-quality species will make you willing to use it.”

Seeing the plant pot brought by Old Xia crack, the botanist did not even hesitate and immediately took it out.

Xia Yuzheng was also stunned and immediately said he would pay the botanist ten times the price for the pot.

But the botanist waved his hand, saying there was no need, “Finding a match for it is the true destiny for this pot.”

The people around envied him, and Xia Yuzheng thanked him repeatedly.

The botanist personally and carefully moved it.

Such a cherished species definitely needed careful handling.

If it were damaged, it would be a great loss for the entire Plant World.

During the exchange, the botanist noticed its thick, strongly adhesive rhizome, apparently finding the reason the pot had cracked.

He couldn’t help but click his tongue, “Its roots grow so fast!”

He left two leaves of the plant and took several photos; such an astonishing discovery had to be handed over to professional institutions for testing…

In the afternoon, Yuzheng Xia returned to the Xia Family home.

He sat on the sofa, elbow propped on his knee, eyes fixed straight on that pot of flowers.

Up to now, his mood still hadn’t completely settled.

After sitting for a while, he couldn’t resist, quietly went back to his room, and woke Xu He.

“Xiaohe, Xiaohe,” Yuzheng Xia’s voice was very gentle.

Xu He had been sleeping at home all day, and waking up now, she felt unusually refreshed as if she hadn’t had such a peaceful sleep in a long time.

“Xiaohe, come out and take a look.” Yuzheng Xia picked up a shawl draped over a chair and put it on his wife.

Then, he took his wife’s hand and led her back to the living room, gesturing with his chin towards the plant, “Xiaohe, did you buy this potted plant?”

Xu He adjusted the shawl and wondered what her husband was making a fuss about, “This one?

Little Tiangao found it on the roadside.”

She had seen it previously in Little Tiangao’s room and had asked about it.

Little Tiangao had said she found it on the roadside.

Yuzheng Xia was shocked, “Yeye found it?”

Indeed, it had to be his daughter; she had a good eye!

Ten minutes later, Wang Dahai’s car parked in the villa courtyard, Xia Ye got out, and Wang Dahai followed behind, meekly carrying a flowerpot and chicken manure soil.

Xia Ye entered the house and didn’t see Lanlan on the balcony but eventually spotted it on the coffee table and breathed a sigh of relief.

She picked up Lanlan and went back to her room, Yuzheng Xia reluctantly followed behind.

Xu He said, “Husband, really, why did you randomly bring Little Tiangao’s things to the swap meet?”

As soon as Yuzheng Xia saw that rare potted plant, he couldn’t move any further, “Yeye, I saw that pot on the balcony.

I really didn’t know it was yours, oh, the botanist has already helped change its pot…”

Xia Ye stopped at her room door, only then noticing that the new pot was indeed bigger than before, “Thanks.”

Seeing that she was about to take the plant back into her room, the usually serious and steady householder smiled somewhat pleasingly, “Yeye, do you want Daddy to take care of it for you?”

He was truly envious.

Xia Ye seemed to hesitate, turned her head to look at him for a moment, and said, “No.”

The corners of Yuzheng Xia’s mouth twitched.

If Xu He had asked, Xia Ye might have considered it.

Moreover, keeping it with him would make it inconvenient to pick leaves for medicine.

Yuzheng Xia watched her move the plant into her room, feeling as if he had just been through a breakup: “Yeye, you must take good care of this treasure.

The botanist said it’s not just something ordinary.”

Xia Ye smiled softly, her tone casual, “It’s not so delicate, it thrives quite well.”

Xu He laughed as she looked at Yuzheng Xia who was brushed off, “Serves you right.”

Wang Dahai completely moved the flowerpot and chicken manure soil back to Xia Ye’s room, his arms nearly breaking, but he dared not show it.

Xia Ye looked at the cement pot she had bought; bought is bought, no need to be too wasteful.

Thinking this, she walked around the garden, picked three plants she was more interested in for their medicinal effects, went back to her room, and planted them in the cement pot.

The cool spiritual energy nourished them.

By the window, the delicate twinkling in the young girl’s eyes and the slight curve of her lips formed a shallow arc.

This was the creator’s taste for mischief.

She wondered what they would grow into?
