Under the dark night sky, the moon's reflection swayed and churned in the water with the waves.

The moon, drifting with the waves, resembles shattered light, adding a touch of intoxicating beauty to the ever-changing sea.

The alluring, off-white figure held in the arms of the man in the black shirt added a touch of charm to the dreamy seascape.

Her delicate chin rested on Ye Minghan's shoulder as she gazed at the receding island walls.

They have now entered the island territory of the Blue Jade Kingdom, surrounded by rows of coconut trees.

On this special night, the island nation, which usually keeps its doors tightly shut, opens its doors wide and is bustling with activity.

At the port entrance and exit, there are piles of raw stones of various sizes everywhere.

With the opening of its borders, the defense of the Blue Jade Kingdom has become relatively more stringent.

Patrolling soldiers stand guard at various entrances and exits to prevent unnecessary disputes or conflicts between countries.

The young couple, now in town, are leisurely strolling along the brightly lit streets of the small town.

The sea breeze at night carried a slight chill.

He covered the delicate body in his arms with the coat he had brought with him.

He was wearing only a black shirt, which clung tightly to his perfectly sculpted back in the wind, highlighting his broad shoulders and narrow waist, making him inexplicably alluring.

Below the shirt were black casual trousers that hugged his long, straight legs. He casually held the girl in his arms as they walked along the muddy road.

Perhaps to preserve the original atmosphere, or for some other reason, the roads here are all paved with dirt, without any "decoration".

Here, you won't see a single asphalt road, or even a single concrete road.

Hua Qingyan's feet barely touched the ground as she tightly embraced Ye Minghan's neck.

She glanced at his slender feet still clad in red high heels, then at the muddy road covered in debris and pebbles, and her small hands, which were wrapped around the back of his neck, tightened their grip even more.

She doesn't want to get out of bed!

I don't want to walk here at all.

She was afraid of spraining her ankle. Given her current physical condition, where even the slightest pain was magnified, she would rather endure some discomfort than suffer.

Perhaps sensing her "dislike" of this road, Ye Minghan held her tightly in his arms, giving her a sense of security.

The street, shrouded in night, had only a few scattered passengers disembarking from the ship.

Without even guessing, it's easy to imagine that the vast majority of people went to the jade trading market on another small island.

There, no matter how big the stone is, it only costs RMB 100.

Whatever is offered belongs to the payer.

In the Gem Kingdom, aside from being designed by others, it is guaranteed to yield a value far exceeding 100 yuan.

Legend has it that three years ago, she was also a down-on-her-luck heiress who came here on the Wonder to try her luck.

She bought 100 rough stones for 10,000 yuan and had them cut on the spot.

The moment all the stones were cut open, the entire audience was shocked. Among them were 20 pieces of top-quality icy jadeite and 10 pieces of top-quality glassy jadeite!

There are other grades of jade as well, and conservatively estimated, the total value exceeds five billion!

That down-on-her-luck heiress turned the tables against all odds.

She has now successfully created a company that belongs solely to her.

Everyone sighed inwardly: This is practically handing money to your pocket.

That night, the news spread like wildfire across the globe.

The Wonderful Cruise, which is already hard to get tickets for, requires you to spend a lot of money to secure a spot.

Returning to the Kingdom of Blue Jade, this country is an island kingdom composed of dozens of small islands.

The town we are standing in now is the only port for external travel.

Although the country was closed off from the world, it was not truly completely isolated.

A few citizens still go abroad to do business, but their numbers are very small.

At this moment, Hua Qingyan was gazing at the unadorned stone houses lining both sides of the street.

She felt a little surprised. Were they all living inside the stone?

She looked around at her surroundings. There were no tall buildings to block the view, nor the roar of cars. There were only original bungalows, all built of stone.

Moreover, apart from bicycles, there are no other vehicles to be seen here.

She looked at Ye Minghan, who was carrying her forward, with a puzzled expression, and whispered her doubts.

"Hanhan, why are all the houses here made of stone?"

The girl, utterly perplexed, gently touched his chest with her smooth, delicate hand, as if she were pondering the question alongside him.

She never deliberately tried to learn about this country; she only knew that it was a gem-producing country where jewelry worth millions outside was worth less than trash here.

A cool night breeze gently caressed the girl's soft hair, sending it swaying in a perfect arc through the air.

Beneath the swaying shadows of coconut leaves, her face, adorned with a butterfly mask, exuded a unique allure.

Her pink lips appeared even more vibrant and full under the dim light.

Ye Minghan stopped, holding the fairy in his arms with one hand, and stood under the dim coconut tree.

The coconut leaves above his head swayed gently in the breeze, and the dim light flickered across his delicate jawline.

The dim light cast shadows on his eyes, which were covered by a butterfly mask, giving them a faint, eerie glow and an inexplicable, captivating allure.

Like a noble prince who has just returned from a masquerade ball, he is dignified and elegant.

He gently stroked her luscious cherry lips with his hand, pondering as he gazed intently at her and said:

“Five hundred years ago, after this place was attacked and burned, their leader ordered that all houses could only be built of stone.”

"After that, all the building materials were replaced with raw stones from the rocky mountain."
