Ruan Fuxi approached the exquisitely displayed jade artifacts, her curiosity piqued. Sheng Yanzhou stepped forward, showcasing each piece in turn.
Having seen many remarkable treasures in the cultivation world, Ruan Fuxi was still taken aback by the beauty before her. They were stunning! The scent of wealth was palpable!
Sheng Yanzhou began his introduction with the first item. This one was called Purple Peony, crafted from top-grade violet jadeite, inspired by peonies and adorned with thousands of red and blue gemstones. Its value exceeded ten billion.
Puff meowed softly. "This is the Sheng family's heirloom; they usually don't let me play with it. How stingy!"
Sheng Yanzhou moved on to the next piece. The set included two jadeite egg faces made from old pit glass jade, arranged in a row of nine, five of which were fashioned into a necklace embedded with diamond plum blossoms, while the remaining four formed a pair of earrings. The third piece was a bracelet made from top-quality imperial jade as the main stone, and the last was a bangle crafted from exceptionally fine yellow-green jade.
The entire set was worth billions.
Puff meowed again. "This is what Old Master Sheng prepared as a betrothal gift for him; he wants you to accept it and become his wife."
Listening to Puff's thoughts, Ruan Fuxi couldn't help but smile.
Sheng Yanzhou's voice continued to resonate. "This is a Guanyin statue carved from jadeite, along with the emperor's jade prayer beads."
Ruan Fuxi felt her horizons broadened. The Sheng family was indeed wealthy; this was the foundation of an old family.
Teasing him, she said, "Yanzhou, I only gave you a talisman for your safety, but what you are offering me far exceeds its value."
Sheng Yanzhou paused at her words, contemplating how he could persuade Xiao Xi to accept these gifts.
Puff meowed again.
"Beautiful lady, the moment he saw you, he wanted to give you all of this. He said as long as his wife likes it, this home is yours."
Ruan Fuxi couldn't help but facepalm upon hearing its thoughts. What had Sheng Yanzhou been saying in front of the cat all this time? Not only was there a peace talisman, but also my legs. Besides, didn't Xiaoxi say she would change my fate? Compared to these, what lay before her seemed trivial.
The most important thing was that he wanted to give it to her.
Ruan Fuxi smiled.
Good.
She pondered that she didn't have anything of value on hand yet and decided to ask the turtle. It had been cultivating for so long; it must have treasures that Sheng Yanzhou could use. Maybe she could negotiate with it later?
The turtle, basking in the sun by the Ruan family pond, suddenly felt a chill, sensing something was watching it. It hurriedly checked its hidden treasures and sighed in relief; nothing was missing.
Ruan Fuxi's gaze wandered over the room filled with jade stones, and for a moment, she lost interest in teasing Sheng Yanzhou. It was better to wait until she improved her cultivation first.
She pointed at the jade materials and asked, "Can I use these now?"
Sheng Yanzhou nodded.
Of course, since they were a gift for Xiaoxi, you can do whatever you want with them.
Ruan Fuxi's eyes lit up.
Then take Puff out first; I can use it right now. Don't worry; I'll treasure those exquisite artworks well.
Sheng Yanzhou suppressed a hint of disappointment in his heart. He wanted to spend more time with her but nodded nonetheless.
No one else will come in here; if anything happens, just call me.
Ruan Fuxi's attention was entirely on the spiritual energy; she nodded at whatever he said.
With a helpless sigh, Sheng Yanzhou took Puff out and closed the monitoring system and the door to this floor.
Puff meowed.
"I won't go! I want to stay and watch the beautiful ladies! Your wife doesn't want you, but she wants me!"
Sheng Yanzhou couldn't understand and lightly tapped its head.
With a mix of affection and helplessness, he said, "If you don't lose weight soon, you'll really turn into a pig."
