"Hmm! Europe is made up of countless countries the size of booger, thousands of miles away from Middle-earth, separated by the ocean."

"That far?" Gao Yanei scratched his head and asked again, "From your accent, it seems like you speak Tokyo dialect."

"Our ancestor was a native of Tokyo. Although he lived in a foreign land, he never forgot his roots. He required his descendants not only to speak the dialect of his hometown but also to read Chinese books."

"Oh! That's no wonder."

"Yanei, if you think this treasure is too expensive, it doesn't matter. Even if the deal fails, I can still find someone else. Such a rare treasure will definitely be sold, don't you think?" Zhang Shixun retreated to advance.

"Mr. Zhang, what you said is a bit unkind. We are discussing the price right now, and you have started looking for the next buyer before I even said no." Gao Yanei said dissatisfiedly.

"Yanei, that's not what I meant."

"Oh! What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, although this treasure is priceless, it is just a toy after all. It can't be eaten or drunk. If the Yanei's family is not very wealthy, it's better not to buy it."

This sentence is really heartbreaking for a playboy.

Zhang Shixun deliberately used words to provoke him.

As expected, Gao Yanei jumped up upon hearing this, slamming the table and saying, "How dare you look down on the Gao family?"

At this moment, Shopkeeper Yin on the ground groaned and woke up. Shopkeeper Gao helped him up. Shopkeeper Yin burst into tears before he even opened his eyes: "What a sin! Such a peerless piece of glass is broken just like that, wuwu..."

"Shopkeeper Yin, the treasure is not broken." Zhang Shixun smiled and shook the bracelet in his hand.

"Ah!" Shopkeeper Yin rubbed his eyes. Seeing that the bracelet was still in Zhang Shixun's hand, he breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and said repeatedly, "I was so scared! I was so scared!"

"Alright! Alright!" Gao Yanei frowned and said, "Old Yin, please leave. Since you don't recognize this treasure, you are no longer needed here."

After hearing this, Old Yin bowed and walked out of the private room, looking back every step of the way.

After he left, Gao Yanei asked, "Master Zhang, tell me, how did you get the flowers inside this night-shining pearl bracelet? They're so vibrant and look just like the real thing."

"Get it in?" Zhang Shixun chuckled and said, "Except for divine intervention, who else can get the petals in?"

"Then...?" Gao Yanei scratched his head and cheek, feeling itchy and unable to scratch.

"Speaking of the petals inside, it's a long story."

"Then take your time, we have plenty of time."

"Let us have a few bites of food." Zhang Shixun deliberately whetted his appetite, put the bracelet on the table, reached out to pick up the chopsticks, and looked at Gao Yanei with an inquiring look.

"Okay! Eat quickly, I'll be waiting." Gao Yanei said patiently.

Zhang Shixun and the other man stopped being polite and started eating.

Gao Yanei sat there, staring at the bracelet on the table. The more he looked at it, the more he loved it, and he secretly made up his mind.

After waiting for the two to finish eating, Gao Yanei said, "Master Zhang, you've finished your meal. Can you tell me now?"

Zhang Shixun slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, smiling and saying, "Don't worry, Young Master. Let me wipe my mouth."

"Mr. Zhang, please tell me something... I'm getting so anxious!" Gao Yanei felt hot all over and tore off his clothes.

Zhang Shixun saw that the fire was almost ready, so he restrained his smile and said, "This bracelet has an extraordinary origin. It comes from far away overseas - the Kingdom of Babylon. In the kingdom there is a magnificent building called the Hanging Gardens. This bracelet came from there."

"Ba...the Kingdom of Pilun?" Gao Yanei looked at Master Gao with an inquiring look.

The senior executive shook his head, also looking confused.

The two of them turned their gaze to Zhang Shixun again, waiting eagerly for him to continue.

Wang Dong couldn't help laughing out loud, and Gao Yanei glanced at him with a frown.

Zhang Shixun wanted to laugh, but he forced himself to hold it back. He coughed lightly and began to talk nonsense: "There is a beautiful legend about this Hanging Garden. Long, long ago, the King of Babylon married a beautiful princess from a neighboring country. After the princess came here, she was always sad. The king asked her why she was sad. The princess said that her hometown was full of green mountains and lush flowers, while here it was just an endless plain with not even a small hill to be found. The princess longed to see the mountains and winding paths of her hometown again..."

"It turns out that the princess misses her hometown." Gao Yanei said from the side.

"Yes! She was homesick. The King of Babylon was very sympathetic to the queen's homesickness, so he ordered his craftsmen to build a massive palace, reminiscent of her hometown. He constructed terraced gardens filled with exotic flowers and plants, and created quiet mountain paths with gurgling streams beside them. In the center of the garden, he built a towering tower, with magnificent pavilions and terraces on top..."

Gao Yanei was very yearning after hearing this and murmured, "This is similar to the newly renovated Wansui Mountain, except that Wansui Mountain doesn't have those towering hanging gardens."

When Zhang Shixun heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

It doesn't matter if he tells Gao Yanei about the Hanging Gardens, but this kid will definitely tell his father Gao Qiu when he gets back.

Who was Gao Qiu? He was the emperor's favorite. If he told the emperor about the Hanging Gardens... Oh my! Maybe Zhao Ji would get carried away and build a Hanging Garden on Wansui Mountain.

It’s really hard to say.

The artist emperor Zhao Ji was a big troublemaker with an unusually active brain. It was really possible that he could build a hanging garden.

If that happens, my sin will be great.

The so-called Wansui Mountain is the famous Genyue in history. It is located in the northeast corner of Tokyo City and took more than ten years to build.

In order to build Genyue, Emperor Huizong of Song collected rare and unique stones from all over the world and moved beautiful and rare flowers from the south, which caused complaints from the people in the south of the Yangtze River and countless people lost their fortunes because of this.

It is said that Fang La was forced to rebel because of this.

"Master Zhang! Master Zhang!" Gao Yanei, standing beside him, pushed him and scolded him, "Why are you so lost in thought while you're talking?"

"Oh! I just vaguely remembered something, but now that you've interrupted me, I can't remember it anymore."

"You haven't finished telling me the story of the bracelet yet. Please continue."

Zhang Shixun nodded and continued to chatter, "Ever since the Hanging Gardens were built, the queen has often gone there. Climbing high and looking far into the distance, her homesickness has eased. One day, she climbed to the highest point of the garden and was mesmerized by the beautiful scenery. After looking for a long time, she felt a little sleepy, so she dismissed her attendants and lay down on the stone bench to take a nap. After lying down, she felt the bracelet on her hand was prickling, so she took it off and put it aside..."
