Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant

After wandering around all afternoon, by the time Lin Xiao returned home, it was already completely dark.

When Lin Xiao entered the courtyard, he still subconsciously looked up at the second floor.

What puzzled him was that the lights on the second floor were on so early tonight.

However, he quickly shook his head.

The woman on the second floor is no ordinary person; it's best to avoid provoking her.

After glancing at it briefly, Lin Xiao hurriedly returned to his room.

Lin Xiao plopped down on the sofa and, without even taking a sip of water, immediately turned on his phone.

After opening the game inventory, Lin Xiao's eyes were fixed on those few "useless items".

This is his future hope for spending money on in-game purchases, and the foundation for extracting the Azure Wolf's inner core; he cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

"Which one should I extract first?" Lin Xiao pondered, stroking the screen.

"The pattern on this bronze bell is too peculiar; it would be bad if someone noticed its flaws. As for this ancient book, it looks too old, and the contents are uncertain, so it probably won't fetch a good price."

In the end, Lin Xiao's gaze fell on the jade pendant.

"This jade pendant is warm and translucent, and looks like a genuine antique. It shouldn't be easy to give it away."

Having made up his mind, Lin Xiao tapped the extraction button behind the "low-level jade pendant" with his fingertip.

[Ding: Please pay 98 yuan to retrieve the dragon-patterned jade pendant.]

Looking at the recharge page that appeared on the screen, Lin Xiao couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, I knew it!"

Despite the insults, Lin Xiao's men didn't slow down at all.

The next moment, as the payment was successful, a faint white light flashed.

A palm-sized, pure white jade pendant appeared out of thin air in Lin Xiao's palm.

The jade pendant felt warm and smooth to the touch. Lin Xiao could even feel a faint trace of celestial energy emanating from it, and its texture was delicate and smooth.

Moreover, it is engraved with fine cloud patterns, the lines of which are smooth and natural.

It was far more exquisite than the jade pendants he had seen at the antique stalls.

"Holy crap, the quality is absolutely amazing!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but admire it, bringing the jade pendant close to his eyes for a closer look, becoming more and more satisfied with it.

"This thing, let alone 700 yuan, people would probably fight over it even for 1,000 yuan! This crappy game finally has some conscience, it didn't make me spend money for nothing."

He carefully placed the jade pendant on the table, then looked at the copper bell and ancient books in his backpack, deciding not to take them out yet.

For the first attempt, it's best not to be too flashy. Sell a jade pendant first and see how the market goes.

If all goes well, I can slowly resell other things later.

I looked up at the sky outside; after such a short delay, it was completely dark.

Although Lin Xiao was excited, he could only suppress his excitement and wait until tomorrow to go to the city to find a place to resell the goods.

After all that commotion, Lin Xiao's stomach started growling.

"It seems I'm really healed."

Feeling hungry, Lin Xiao was immediately overjoyed.

Since falling ill, he has been suffering from frequent stomach discomfort and has not known how long it has been since he had a proper meal.

The weather was a bit cold, and Lin Xiao was too lazy to cook at home.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up the jade pendant and walked out, saying as he went:

"Let's splurge today and eat out!"

The next moment, Lin Xiao, who had just pushed open the door, almost bumped into someone.

"Um... Miss Qin?"

"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you...?"

Qin Yanan looked at Lin Xiao in front of her, but her gaze immediately fell on what he was holding in his hand.

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in Qin Yanan's eyes.

She could sense that the jade pendant in this person's hand was no ordinary item.

Lin Xiao naturally noticed the woman's gaze upon him.

He subconsciously hid the jade pendant behind his back, his face showing a slightly unnatural stiffness, but his heart skipped a beat.

Damn it, why am I so unlucky?

And then, of all times, I ran into Qin Yanan!

And this woman's eyes are strange, could it be that she noticed something?

Left with no other choice, Lin Xiao could only force a smile and say, "No, nothing, Miss Qin, I just wanted to go out for a meal."

He deliberately avoided the topic of the jade pendant, wanting only to get away as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Qin Yanan, however, seemed oblivious to his evasiveness, a seductive smile playing on her lips.

Her gaze seemed to drift unintentionally toward what was behind him, and her tone was so gentle it could melt hearts.

"Oh? Young Master Lin, judging from how carefully you're handling it, it must be some kind of treasure, right?"

She took a step closer, her faint perfume lingering around Lin Xiao's nose, carrying a deadly allure.

But Lin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

This woman is too shrewd; the probing look in her eyes is impossible to hide. She's definitely not that simple.

"It's not a treasure at all, it's just a worthless jade pendant."

Lin Xiao spoke casually, but gripped the jade pendant in his hand even tighter.

But Qin Yanan had no intention of letting him go, and said with a smile, "Jade pendant? I happen to be quite interested in these little trinkets, Brother Lin, would you mind letting me take a look?"

"This..." Lin Xiao hesitated upon hearing this.

Honestly, he didn't want to get involved with this woman.

Before Lin Xiao could refuse, Qin Yanan continued, "By the way, it's so late, how about I treat you to dinner? Consider it a favor to let me take a look at the jade pendant, what do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's heart stirred.

Inviting yourself to dinner? And then wanting to see your jade pendant?

Could this woman be after the jade pendant?

But then he realized that he had originally planned to resell the jade pendant anyway.

If Qin Yanan really wants to buy it, she might be able to get a good price.

Moreover, it saves you the trouble of going to the antique market yourself, so why not?

Moreover, he didn't dare to directly refuse Qin Yanan.

This woman doesn't look like someone to mess with. If I offend her and get myself into trouble, it would be a loss for me.

Anyway, it's just for looking at. As long as I don't reveal the origin of the jade pendant, there shouldn't be any problem.

Many thoughts swirled in my mind, but they only passed by in an instant.

Lin Xiao quickly made up his mind, and put on an embarrassed look: "How could I possibly accept this, Miss Qin? You'd have to treat me to a meal."

While saying this, he slowly took out the jade pendant and handed it to Qin Yanan, saying, "However, the jade pendant is indeed worthless. If you want to look at it, feel free to look."

Qin Yanan took the jade pendant and deliberately touched Lin Xiao's hand lightly with her fingertips.

Sensing the stiffness in his fingertips, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes, and she then focused her attention on the jade pendant.

The moment her fingertips touched the jade pendant, her eyes gleamed even brighter.

Sure enough, there was residual immortal energy!

Moreover, it was even richer than she had expected, even though the jade pendant itself was of average material.

But in Qin Yanan's heart, this was already a rare treasure.
