Zhu Xiaoshu was still standing there in a daze when Yuan Bao started picking them up.
"There are also blue and green ones. Let's pick out all the ones that are the same color."
We got busy.
After picking it up a few times, we all looked up at Zhu Xiaoshu, and saw that tears were streaming down his face.
"Big brother! What's wrong?"
"It's alright!" Zhu Xiaoshu wiped away his tears and then helped us pick them up.
I simply opened the other boxes containing jewelry and took them all out to sort them.
"How come there's still this thing here?"
Zhu Xiaoshu took out a pure crystal statue, which looked somewhat familiar to me.
Only a small portion of the items here were installed by me later; the rest were just pre-packaged.
I don't know why there were statues in the box.
I picked up the statue, and then I remembered where I had seen it before.
Underwater! That's when Peng Jun asked me to test how deep I could dive.
I saw a stone statue underwater, just like this one.
However, the arm wasn't broken, and he was holding a sword.
The sword also had beautiful patterns on it.
The auxiliary brain's voice suddenly appeared: "It's Netherworld script."
"What is that?!"
We communicate through royal blood, so Yuan Bao and Zhu Xiaoshu cannot hear us.
"They are people from the planet Mingmei, and like the puppet people and the stone rock people, they are not from Earth."
Moreover, they are more dangerous than us. We plunder resources, but they don't even spare the natives of various planets.
They are... a type of mollusc similar to sea anemones, requiring a large number of humans to parasitize them.
I suddenly imagined a disgusting scene of a soft, squishy creature burrowing into a human body.
That's just too much!
Why must it be a parasite?
"Without parasitism, their lifespan is only ten years, but after parasitism, their lifespan can reach more than one hundred and fifty years."
This is based on the relatively fragile bodies of Earthlings; if we consider people with better physical constitutions, their lifespans would be even longer.
So if there is Netherworld script here, doesn't that mean they still exist on Earth?
"Damn it! How many alien races are there on Earth?"
"Earth is a planet that was born during the Great Migration of the universe, so many aliens may have come here."
Even whether you humans are indigenous is still up for verification.
Unfortunately, we were dragged underground by the Stone Rock People as soon as we arrived, and we have no idea what happened up above.
Is it possible that the Stone Rock People are the protectors of Earth?
Landis was trapped by the barrier and sank to the bottom of the sea, and everyone inside died because of this Wraith.
They may have been parasitized, which led to the attack by the Stone Rock People.
Could the stone statues nearby also be related to the Underworld Beings?
Thinking about this makes my head explode. Don't believe it, there are also Netherworld People hiding in the seabed. They'll be done for once they get the chance to parasitize the humans.
This is within the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty; the people of the Great Xia Dynasty are in danger.
No, I have to go check it out when I have some free time.
We searched until dawn, collecting about one-tenth of the complete, ornate jewelry set, then packed it back into the box and took it back to the small building.
I also took an extra box containing crystal galls, crystal boxes, and crystal statues.
Perhaps because there were too many women in the small building, Peng Jun brought Meng Jie and Shi Tongguang to his place.
Only the women remained in the small building. They were still cooking. Since it was almost Chinese New Year and everyone was off work, they weren't in a hurry and chatted as they worked.
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you all night!" the sister-in-law called out as soon as we entered.
Yuan Bao placed the box on the coffee table: "Ladies! Come and choose one."
Aunt Jun, Sister-in-law, Xu Yiting, Xiao Qingwan, and Selena all gathered around.
When Yuan Bao opened the box, they all exclaimed "Wow!"
What woman doesn't love jewelry? Several women chattered amongst themselves, picking up pieces of jewelry and trying them on.
I gave Zhu Xiaoshu a shove; he had the big diamond ring I gave him.
I don't know anything about carats, all I know is that the diamond was about the size of a quail egg, and it was the largest diamond in the ring.
Zhu Xiaoshu was still a little hesitant, so I said:
"Sister-in-law! Your brother has something to tell you."
The older sister-in-law turned her head: "What is it?"
I pushed Zhu Xiaoshu forward, and he finally mustered up his courage: "Sasha! Marry me!"
Zhu Xiaoshu knelt on one knee and held up the large diamond ring.
The sister-in-law burst into tears: "I thought you were going to keep dragging this on!"
The eldest sister-in-law threw herself into Zhu Xiaoshu's arms, and the two of them fell to the ground together.
Yuan Bao: "Oh my god! Sister-in-law! Let's not go into the bridal chamber now!"
"Get lost!" The eldest sister-in-law blushed bright red and kicked Yuan Bao hard, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Yuan Bao got up and took out a box: "Third brother is giving me jewelry! I'm giving you the car and the house too."
“The house is a seaside villa that we built ourselves. I’ve already had it renovated, and you can move in this spring.”
Yuan Bao tossed me a key: "This is for my third brother. Our three houses are next to each other."
It was built on land we bought outside our base. The environment here is nice, and the location is good too. We live close by, and we can be neighbors for life.
"Alright, alright! Let's eat first! After we finish eating, we'll go out to buy New Year's goods."
When Aunt Jun speaks, everyone has to obey.
But I can't go. I still need to talk to Peng Jun about how to divide the treasures!
When I arrived, Peng Jun was instructing Meng Jie and Shi Tongguang in martial arts.
They only stopped when I arrived.
"Master! I'd like to discuss the treasure with Meng Jie and the others."
"Dividing the spoils?"
