Lucky five-pointed star, Shui Yiyao has an impression.
It is a kind of golden stone on the seabed. It is usually round and rarely grows into this kind of stone with five neat corners. Children in the aquatic community often pick up stones to play with. Legend has it that the five-star stone is a gift from the sea god and is very rare.
Shui Yiyao took the golden stone and blushed: "Thank you, sister."
She took Shui Yiyao's identity, and these were things she should do. The mermaids were so polite.
Huxi smiled and said, "We should thank you."
Shui Yiyao held the stone tightly, pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Huxi's slightly raised belly: "How long until the baby is born?"
"Seven months."
In the sparsely populated mermaid tribe, the birth of a new life is a big event. When this is mentioned, all the mermaids have smiles on their faces.
Shui Yiyao: "I will come back to see him when the time comes. I will bring him a gift."
She raised her head and warned, "You must be careful at all times. We mermaids have so many eyes watching us, especially the dragons. Don't leave the holy land unless necessary."
Hu Xi nodded, then sighed and whispered, "I don't know what's wrong with the Jiaolong Clan. They're usually quite polite, but suddenly..."
Shui Yiyao seemed to recall something and asked, "That Ao Cheng, is he often at sea? Does he ever come ashore?"
If he came ashore, she would have to be more cautious.
Huxi shook her head: "Princess, have you forgotten? Except for those of royal blood, it is impossible for ordinary water creatures like us to transform into human form. Ao Cheng can't go ashore."
Royal bloodline is the name given by the water tribe to the oldest bloodline in each tribe, such as her, and the black dragon leader of the dragon tribe.
There is also Bai Gege, the heroine of the original text. Although she is not a member of the royal family, she has awakened the royal bloodline in the white whale.
All she knew now was that she and Bai Gege were from the sea tribe.
There is also the male protagonist Ao Yun. The original novel mentions that he is also a sea tribe, but it is not detailed. However, the surname Ao...
"By the way, what's the name of the Jiao Clan leader?"
Hu Xi shook his head: "We only know that he is the Black Dragon, the younger brother of the previous leader. Now everyone calls him the leader."
"Then do you know Ao Yun?"
Huxi nodded, somewhat surprised that Shui Yiyao had asked so many questions. However, the eldest princess didn't usually pay much attention to these matters, so it was normal for her not to know. She replied, "He's the son of the previous leader and Mrs. White Whale."
"But doesn't the Jiao Clan only have one black Jiao? He's not of royal blood, so why is he on the shore?"
"He inherited the royal bloodline of the White Whale. Although Madam White Whale was of ordinary bloodline, Ao Yun inherited the royal bloodline beyond his rank. This caused a sensation in both the Jiao and White Whale tribes at the time."
At that time, the leader of the Jiao clan was just a red Jiao, and Mrs. White Whale was of ordinary blood, but the child she gave birth to inherited the royal blood of the White Whale. The two clans held a banquet to celebrate for a month.
Later, the current leader of the Black Dragons succeeded his brother. He believed that although Ao Yun was young, he was extremely talented and kind-hearted. He would wait until he came of age and then pass the throne to him.
With this kind of setting, he is indeed the male protagonist.
So... Ao Li, Ao Yun's second uncle, was clearly the real deal. If he was the leader of the Jiao Clan, that would explain why only the Jiao Clan possessed the purifier.
The Great Elder asked, "Where are the clothes made for the Great Princess?"
"Here." The mermaids brought a clam shell tray with a piece of clothing on it.
Shui Yiyao's thoughts were interrupted. When she looked over, her eyes were attracted. The dress had such a beautiful sheen.
The clothes themselves are silver-white, and under the refraction of the sea water, there is a shimmering diamond-like light. Different angles reflect different colors of light, creating a visual effect of "colorful white".
She had never seen such fabric before. It was so beautiful, as if it were forged from gems.
But in fact, in Shui Yiyao's memory, she had received a dress like this every year. This dress was woven by the mermaids from a special seabed plant and given to her every year. However, this year, due to the spread of pollution to the holy land, it was delivered a little later than usual.
"Princess, would you like to try it on?" Huxi spread out the clothes. It was a short top inlaid with corals and crystals, and it sparkled.
This should be called Jiao Xiao. I have seen records of it when I was looking up information before.
Even with the combined strength of the entire mermaid tribe, they can only produce one piece of cloth a year, and one piece of cloth can only be made into one piece of clothing.
Only Shui Yiyao has this kind of clothes because she is the only princess of the mermaid tribe.
Shui Yiyao took a look and accepted the clothes.
In fact, the mermaids are really nice to their princess.
She thought of her grandfather.
Her grandfather was also very good to her. He would buy her beautiful clothes when he went out, and would take back the beautiful jade he saw to carve pendants for her. From childhood to adulthood, the jade pendants carved by her grandfather filled several large drawers.
"Princess, please don't cry. What's wrong?"
Shui Yiyao looked up and a tear rolled down her cheeks.
It condensed into golden beads and floated in front of her.
Shui Yiyao was stunned for a moment, then clenched the golden tear into her palm.
Has she been here for a month?
Time flies.
·
Shui Yiyao took Jin Lei and Jiao Xiao back to her residence that night and did not stay any longer.
After returning, she turned on the computer directly, climbed into the abyss, and contacted the boss who bought the golden tears before - Jin.
-Yu: Boss, I have a golden teardrop. Would you like to take it? Should I send it to the same address as last time?
-Jin: Okay, I’ll transfer the money to you right away.
Boss Jin replied very quickly. Shui Yiyao rushed back home, and it was already midnight. She had originally thought she would receive a reply the next day.
Moreover, the boss transferred the money as quickly as last time. Before she even sent the express delivery, she had already received her transfer of 10 million.
Shui Yiyao was surprised and couldn't help asking him:
-Yu: Boss, aren’t you afraid that I won’t send the things to you?
-Kim: I have my confidence.
-Jade:?
-Jin: I am a Taoist priest and I can tell fortunes.
-Jin: Who would buy the tears of a mermaid?
...Taoist priest? Shui Yiyao looked at the message on the screen, her eyes full of confusion. Was he teasing her?
-Yu: You are really amazing.
Jin: You don't believe me? Tell me three numbers and I'll tell you my fortune.
Shui Yiyao casually sent three numbers.
Boss Jin replied with a "received" and then fell silent. Ten minutes later, he replied to the message.
-Kim: Something's following you. Be careful.
-Jade:? ? ?
Jin: The direction I calculated is south. Did you just come back from the south? Something followed you back.
Shui Yiyao looked carefully at Boss Jin's wording. There was "something"... not someone.
South, the sea is in the south.
-Jade: What is it?
-Jin: My fortune telling is very expensive, but you are a nice person and I like people like you, so it doesn’t hurt to talk more about it.
-Jin: He is a creature in the water and has murderous intentions towards you.
-Jin: It is recommended that you install electric fences between windows and doors, and carry an electric baton with you when you go out.
-Jin: Or do you want to buy a talisman? I'll sell it to you cheaply, 200,000 yuan each!
-Yu: I can’t afford it, so I’ll just install an anti-theft electric grid.
-Kim: Okay. Anyway, be careful, he's very good at disguising himself.
-Jin: Wait, he should be at your door now, just don't open it.
-Jin: Don’t go out before dawn.
When Shui Yiyao saw the message on the screen, she got goosebumps and a chill down her spine.
At her door?
"Knock knock." There was a sudden knock on the door.
Shui Yiyao was frightened and her pupils dilated instantly.
Is that true? Isn't she wearing an entertainment industry article? Why is there a ghost story? Can it be cured?
"Knock knock." The door was knocked twice again, and the sound was dull, not like someone knocking on the door, but some stick.
No one spoke.
Shui Yiyao's scalp tingled. She quietly stood up and slowly moved to the door.
She held her breath and listened carefully. There was a "tick-tick" sound coming from outside, as if something was dripping down.
She didn't look through the peephole of the security door, but instead quietly took out a high-power power strip from the shoe cabinet in the entrance. She often used large electrical appliances, and this was bought as a spare.
She used scissors to cut the wires from the power strip, exposing the wires inside.
Something in the water, right?
Let him see what the fucking conductivity of water is.
Shui Yiyao gently plugged the power strip into the wall socket.
She stood quietly at the door, holding her breath.
“Bang—”
In the blink of an eye, Shui Yiyao pressed the live wire in her hand against the door, and the knocking sound suddenly stopped.
"Sizzle—" A sound like flesh being electrocuted was heard, and Shui Yiyao smelled a distinct burnt smell.
"Fuck!" A violent growl came from outside, mixed with incredible anger.
Shui Yiyao continued to connect the electric wire to the security door. The crackling sound of electric shock continued. After a while, there was a "bang" sound, as if something was rolling down the stairs.
"What the hell?" In the distance, a man's angry growl could be heard faintly, along with screams and groans: "Is this ever going to end? Ah!"
It was a long time before there was complete silence.
Only then did Shui Yiyao dare to breathe freely.
Her hands trembled slightly, and after a while, she unplugged the power strip from the wall and placed it on the shoe cabinet.
She took a deep breath and turned back to the computer.
The chat box was still open, and two more messages popped up.
-Jin: Sure you can.
Jin: My hexagram indicates that this thing is more dangerous than good. You will be safe for a while.
-Jade: ...Thank you.
-Jin: You’re welcome. Next time you have golden tears, come to me and I’ll tell you your fortune for free.
The next morning, before Shui Yiyao even woke up, she heard a noise outside the door. It sounded like the cleaning lady was cursing.
"What's so black? Who's so wicked? They took half an hour to clean these things! Who did that?"
“That’s really too much!”
Shui Yiyao woke up, jumped up from the bed immediately, walked to the door, opened the peephole and looked out.
The cleaning lady was holding a mop and wiping the wall.
The wall, which was supposed to be white, is now covered with large clumps of ink and is black.
The cleaning lady was swearing as she cleaned the floor, very angry. Shui Yiyao had never heard the cleaning lady speak loudly before; even her movements were very quiet.
Shui Yiyao asked through the door: "Auntie, what's wrong?"
The cleaning lady paused, then immediately replied angrily, "I don't know which family is playing with ink. From the stairs on this floor all the way down to the stairs on the first floor, there's black ink everywhere, on the walls, on the ground, and on the stairs! It's really bullying!"
Shui Yiyao: "Let's check the surveillance?"
"I've seen it, but a cloud of ink sprayed over and blurred the lens! I can't see a thing. What a sin!"
"Is it a thief? Have you called the police?"
Cleaning lady: "The property management has called the police!"
"That's good."
It was dark everywhere.
Shui Yiyao was reminded of a certain aquatic animal that would spray ink when attacked.
Big octopus.
She returned to the computer, opened the search interface and looked for octopus.
"Octopus, underwater chameleon...? Not only can it change color, but also its body structure. It can even mimic a sea snake? A fish? A jellyfish?"
After looking at the information on the search page, Shui Yiyao exclaimed, "That's pretty impressive. Could it be this thing?"
She searched online again, but apart from octopuses and squids, there was no other creature that would spray ink when attacked.
So last night an octopus was electrocuted and rolled down the stairs while spraying ink.
Shui Yiyao thought about the scene and laughed out loud.
It seems that I need to find time to ask the Great Elder whether their mermaid tribe has ever had a feud with the octopus.
It was only 6:30 and the sky was not yet fully bright. Shui Yiyao picked up the drawing paper and started drawing the design.
I didn't go out to work until it was completely light.
Today she was in the classroom, drawing design drafts with Jiang Luo all day without even turning on the computer.
After I got home at 4 o'clock, I received a call from the courier saying that the batch of mountain materials I bought from the jade bazaar had arrived.
All she bought were raw stones, even those with their shells.
After signing for them, she piled all the stones next to the workbench and prepared to peel them slowly.
She started a live broadcast and is going to cut a piece of Qinghai material today.
The Qinghai material perfectly matched the custom requirements of the man Bai Gege had introduced. She had already shown him the design draft today, and he was very satisfied, praising her for her excellent drawing and saying that it was exactly the Ao Li he had wanted.
Now I have to choose the material for him.
People in the live broadcast room greeted Shui Yiyao one after another.
-Yu Yu, you haven’t done much live streaming these past two days.
-It’s finally open! I brought a small stool and sat down to wait.
-Wow, what is this? It's such a big rock!
Shui Yiyao moved the stone, which was as big as an oven, onto the cutting machine.
"This is Qinghai jade, produced in the Kunlun Mountains of Qinghai. It was also called Kungang Jade in the past. Because of its large production, the price is not expensive."
“By the way, although this is not produced in Hotan, it is also called Hotan jade.”
"The current standard is that as long as the tremolite content reaches 95%, it can be identified as Hetian jade by professional institutions."
Shui Yiyao plugged in the cutting machine.
She smiled and said, "Rough stones are all about excitement. One cut will lead to heaven, and the other to hell."
Although professionals can accurately judge the condition of jade and there will not be too many surprises, nature is very magical and often gives people unexpected surprises and shocks.
Sometimes, if you buy a stone for 10,000 yuan and it turns out something good, you can sell it for 100,000 yuan, that's heaven. But if you cut it open and it turns out to be a "dragon fruit"—dirty and full of impurities, and you can't do anything with it—that's hell.
-So, is Yuyu more like heaven or hell?
Seeing the comments, Shui Yiyao smiled and adjusted the position of the stone on the cutter: "As for me, I'm fine."
Cutting mountain material is not as particular as cutting seed material. She estimated the position of the stone skin and started cutting directly.
She turned on the machine, manipulated the handle, and cut down. Sparks flew the moment the cutting blade touched the stone. Shui Yiyao continued to press the handle, and the stone skin was quickly peeled off from the stone.
"Well, let's see whether it's heaven or hell."
The camera moves to the cut surface of the stone.
Just as the stone skin was peeled off, the white flesh inside was revealed. Shui Yiyao wiped the ash off the cut surface with a damp cloth next to her. It was clear that the flesh was very delicate. There was only a green streak in the middle, gently running through the middle of the white jade.
-Hey? Isn't it white Qinghai jade? Why is there a hint of green in it?
-Is it some other kind of jade?
-Impurities?
-Oh my god, the Qinghai material is emerald green! The price has increased tenfold!
-European Emperor!
[My friend, you have good eyesight.]
Mr. Lu’s barrage of comments appeared right after.
Shui Yiyao wiped the cut surface of the jade with a wet cloth again, and it became even cleaner. She was not particularly excited, but just laughed softly: "Heaven, you are lucky."
Someone who knows the value of the product sent a message in the barrage.
-It’s not just good, it’s amazingly good!
- Crazy want!
