go home?
As soon as Qi An finished speaking, the entire area fell silent.
The cultural relics workers sighed deeply, wondering how they could ever go back.
Xiao Yuhu sighed dejectedly, "Sister Ajiu, I know you're just trying to cheer me up. It's okay, I'm already happy that you're better."
Qi An: "..."
It seems we need to get serious, otherwise even the kids won't believe her.
Qi An was just about to make a move when his expression suddenly turned cold—
Someone is coming this way.
A few seconds later, rustling footsteps were heard outside the exhibition hall, and two foreigners in security uniforms entered exhibition hall number 33.
"Sister An'an, are those two foreigners on duty? They look so suspicious."
Seeing the greed in their eyes, Qi An chuckled: "We're lucky; we ran into thieves as soon as we arrived."
"thief?"
Fu Gui rubbed his hands together excitedly.
Peach Blossom Girl said angrily, "It's them again! Lately, those two have been loitering around here every day after closing time, groping people everywhere. What are they up to?"
Little Jade Pot said with disgust, "They smell so bad, I can't breathe when they get close. What do they want?"
The terracotta musician sighed and said gently, "Silly child, those two are thieves, here to scout the place."
A clear, melodious neighing sound rang out, and Tang Xiaoma shouted, "If I weren't imprisoned, I would definitely trample these scoundrels under my feet."
The artifacts glared at the two foreigners with gritted teeth.
Xiao Yuhu arrived late and didn't know, and they couldn't even remember how many groups of thieves they had encountered over the years.
Even though any one of them is a top-tier art treasure, they did not receive the care and dignity they deserved in this museum of robbers.
The same applies to other exhibition halls; theft is common, mostly committed by those in charge.
The two foreigners chattered for a few moments, then bypassed the dragon-patterned wall and headed straight for the small jade pot.
They had been scouting the area for quite some time, but finally decided to target exhibition hall 33 and steal this small jade pot.
I chose exhibition hall number 33 because it has the most diverse and numerous cultural relics, so even a small item lost there wouldn't be noticeable.
Why choose this jade pot?
Firstly, it is small and easy to hide.
Secondly, she is just too, too beautiful.
A pure heart resides in a jade pot.
Regardless of whether they understand Chinese culture or not, anyone who sees the small jade pot will be awestruck by its exquisite beauty.
Seeing the two foreigners reaching out their dirty hands towards her, Xiaoyuhu was so frightened that she became incoherent and started to cry.
"What...what are you going to do? Don't come any closer! I'm warning you, my family is very powerful, don't touch me."
"Little jade pot..."
"Little jade pot..."
Other cultural relics workers were extremely anxious. Were they just going to stand by and watch their compatriots be taken away again?
Looking at the small jade pot, the foreigner's eyes gleamed with excitement.
They'll make a fortune by taking this treasure out and reselling it.
People have done this before, without anyone noticing.
The official investigation was all talk and no action, and ultimately came to nothing.
However, the moment the hand was extended, the two foreigners froze.
They exchanged a glance and both saw terror in each other's eyes.
Why is there a woman's laughter?
And right behind them...
The two turned around abruptly, nearly dying from the shock of what they saw, a scene beyond their comprehension.
The dragon-patterned glazed wall at the entrance shone brightly with red light, turning the entire space red.
Xiao Yuhu and the other artifacts were completely bewildered. What was wrong with Ajiu?
"Sister Ajiu..."
“A-Jiu…”
Under the horrified gazes of the two foreigners, the dragon-patterned wall gradually disappeared into the light.
Instead, a bewitching woman in a red dress with long, flowing hair appeared.
The two foreign devils: "..."
Little Jade Pot: "..."
All the cultural relics: "..."
The room fell silent, and the two foreigners were sweating profusely.
What... what kind of mysterious Eastern witchcraft is this?
The moment Qi An took a step, the two of them were startled and took a big step back.
The string of gibberish made Old Master Qi frown.
"What are you yelling about? Speak like a human being."
The two foreigners clearly couldn't speak a language she could understand; they just kept babbling incoherently.
Qi An grew impatient and slapped them across the air, silencing both of them.
This bizarre move terrified the two foreigners even more, causing them to widen their eyes and desperately try to choke.
I once heard people say that the mysterious ancient country in the East has a history of five thousand years and has many things that cannot be explained by science.
They didn't believe it at the time.
Now that I finally believe it, I feel incredibly regretful.
I should have stolen it from somewhere else.
The two exchanged a glance, then forgot all about making money and took off running, almost reaching the exit in the blink of an eye.
Before I could even feel happy, the next second there was a sudden stop, and I stared ahead in horror.
The woman in red stood at the entrance with her arms crossed, and said coolly, "Why are you leaving so soon after you've just arrived? Aren't you going to leave anything behind?"
The two were so frightened that they stumbled backward and fell to the ground with a thud.
How did she... how did she appear out of thin air?
Just a second ago they were more than ten meters away.
Qi An grinned: "Thieves get their hands chopped off, didn't your parents teach you that?"
Qi An pulled out a dagger, and the two foreigners were terrified, shaking their heads and begging for mercy silently.
They tried to escape, but their bodies were bound by an invisible force, making it impossible for them to move. They could only watch helplessly as the woman in red walked over.
"Let's start with you guys."
Just as the knife was raised, Xiaoyuhu gasped in fear.
Qi An: "..."
I almost forgot, there are children too.
Qi An sheathed his knife and with a gentle wave of his hand, the two foreign devils were knocked unconscious.
We'll take it out and cook it in a bit.
Qi An's actions had been observed by all the artifacts. Although they had never seen A Jiu in human form, her voice was still familiar.
"You...you are..."
Qi An laughed and said, "You wouldn't recognize me if I changed my identity. I'm Ajiu."
"It really is Ajiu."
"When did A-Jiu become so amazing?"
Little Jade Pot exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, it really is Sister Ajiu! Sister is so amazing! She defeated the bad guy in one go!"
Fu Gui chuckled and said, "Apart from the small jade pot, these artifacts are all quite old, so why are they all still so...naive?"
Qi An said, "It's pure. Don't you think the spiritual energy here is very clean?"
Fu Gui nodded: "I discovered it a long time ago. Top-tier cultural relics are indeed extraordinary. They can almost rival rare and precious materials."
"Therefore, I do not intend to destroy the purity of these national treasures; they just need to wait to go home cleanly."
All the artifacts knew that Ah Jiu's resurrection and powerful abilities must have come from something.
Before they could ask, Qi An said, "When I said I would take you home, I wasn't joking; I meant it."
Peach Blossom Girl said, "But Ah Jiu, even if you can lead us out of here, we can't just go back like this."
Qi An chuckled: "Don't worry, we won't run away. I will make sure you return to your motherland with dignity."
Hope was rekindled in the hearts of all the cultural relics.
Will I really be able to go home this time?
