Hearing the madam's words, Zhao Rong felt utterly helpless. He was here to find the Heavenly Pool Jade Magnolia to save a life, not to trade for it. Why was she so vehemently opposed to the idea?
Just as Zhao Rong stood there, puzzled, Xuelian suddenly looked at the madam and said, "Madam, perhaps we can make a deal?"
Before Xuelian could finish, the madam began shooing them away. "Both of you, get out of my inn! We don't welcome people who come here to pick Heavenly Pool Jade Magnolias."
As the madam was pushing them out, Xuelian pointed toward the back of the house. "Wait, don't push us away just yet! We might be able to revive your husband, the one who's paralyzed and unconscious in bed…"
The madam paused for a second, stunned, but then resumed pushing them. "Get going, and stop your boasting. Even if the Jade Emperor himself came down, he couldn't save my husband."
