Chapter 228 Remuneration
When the space calmed down again, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao discovered that they seemed to have reached the deepest part of the mine.
At this moment, not far in front of them, a transparent jade emitting green light was floating in the air, giving off a faint spiritual energy.
Even if you just stand there, you can feel the physical and mental joy and be nourished by the spiritual energy.
"It seems this is no ordinary Emerald Heart." Zhong Nianyao looked at the Emerald Heart and couldn't help but sigh, "How could an ordinary Emerald Heart emit such pure spiritual energy! No wonder Hu Xiaoman was able to use this spiritual energy to transform into a human form so early."
As she spoke, Zhong Nianyao wanted to step forward and take down the Emerald Heart. Of course, she didn't intend to keep it for herself, but to take it down and return it to Lu Yichen.
This jade mine belongs to Lu Yichen, so this jade heart naturally belongs to Lu Yichen. She came here to solve the problem of the mine, and now it has been solved.
Zhong Nianyao had just taken a step when she was stopped by Hu Xiaoman. "It's useless. You can't take the Emerald Heart with you. Besides, if you try to take it away forcefully, you might even get retaliated against!"
She didn't know why she was so kind-hearted and actually had to remind the other party. You know, the other party was planning to drive her away and not let her continue to practice here.
"Get out of the way first." Zhong Nianyao said, "I know my limits."
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to believe her, Hu Xiaoman did not force it and consciously stepped aside.
She could tell from the other party's drawing of the talisman in the air just now that he was strong, but that kind of strength was no match for the Emerald Heart.
She had tried to take the Emerald Heart away before, but just as she had it in her hands, a bolt of lightning struck. Fortunately, she let go and dodged quickly. Otherwise, she would have been dead.
It was after that incident that she no longer dared to think about taking the Emerald Heart away.
She was just a little fox that had just transformed, and she was definitely no match for the thunderbolt. If a bolt of lightning struck her, she might be reduced to ashes.
Fortunately, although she couldn't take it away, she could still practice nearby.
Now that these two people refused to listen to my advice and insisted on taking the Emerald Heart away, I have to bear the consequences myself.
Under Hu Xiaoman's gaze, Zhong Nianyao stepped forward and wanted to take the Emerald Heart away.
"Wait a minute." Lu Yichen suddenly spoke. He took a step forward, looked at Zhong Nianyao, and said, "Let me get it!"
Zhong Nian Yao raised her eyebrows, said nothing, and stepped aside.
Hu Xiaoman said nothing, just waiting to see the two of them make a fool of themselves.
Lu Yichen didn't say anything. He just walked forward, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the Emerald Heart.
The light of the Emerald Heart dimmed instantly, and it lay quietly in Lu Yichen's hand. If it hadn't continued to emit a faint spiritual aura, one would have thought it had been swapped!
"How is this possible?"
Hu Xiaoman's tone was filled with disbelief. She had been expecting something interesting to happen. However, nothing had happened. This made her start to wonder if the Emerald Heart had become a spirit, actually acting according to the person it was dealing with.
Lu Yichen simply closed his palms.
"Hu Xiaoman, let's go!" Zhong Nianyao looked at Hu Xiaoman and said, "Over the years, you have been cultivating with the help of the spiritual energy of the Emerald Heart. It can be considered a gift from heaven. Now that you have transformed into a human form, your future cultivation will be much easier."
Hu Xiaoman once again looked in Lu Yichen's direction, saying her final goodbye. Of course, the person she was saying goodbye to was the Emerald Heart, not Lu Yichen.
The space fluctuated and Hu Xiaoman disappeared from the spot.
After Hu Xiaoman left, Lu Yichen slowly walked up to Zhong Nian Yao, then stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and handed the Emerald Heart directly to Zhong Nian Yao.
"Huh?" Zhong Nianyao was stunned by Lu Yichen's sudden action. "What are you doing?"
"This Emerald Heart is for you." Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nianyao and smiled slightly, "Consider it as your reward for this incident! Now that the matter has been resolved, it's time to start mining the mine."
Zhong Nianyao refused directly, "No reward required. You also helped me with the Zhong family's affairs before. This time we are even."
Lu Yichen was stunned for a moment, then he remembered what Zhong Nianyao said. He frowned, then shook his head and said, "Let's put it this way. It's just a small matter."
"This is just a small matter!" Zhong Nianyao said directly, "You saw it too. This matter is really simple. The reward you gave me is too high. If you really want to avenge me, then after this jade is mined, you can just give me a piece, or give me a piece of jade jewelry."
Looking at the look of determination on Zhong Nianyao's face, a hint of darkness flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes. Then he withdrew his hand and put the emerald heart directly into his pocket.
After seeing Lu Yichen's actions, Zhong Nianyao breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Xiaoman has left, and the vein has naturally returned to normal.
So Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao simply returned along the same route. Along the way, the two chatted casually.
"You seem to feel a little differently towards that little vixen!" Lu Yichen said lightly, "You seem to have a fondness for her!"
"Really?" Zhong Nianyao paused for a moment, but recovered instantly. "I don't know why, but when I saw Hu Xiaoman, I always felt a sense of familiarity. There was even a very strange feeling, like—"
I tried to organize the words in my mind, "It's like an elder seeing his younger generation."
She also thought it was strange that Hu Xiaoman was already hundreds of years old. Even if she added up her two lives, she wouldn't even be half a century old!
But when she saw Hu Xiaoman, she really had such a strange feeling. She couldn't explain why.
Lu Yichen couldn't help but laugh after hearing Zhong Nianyao's description. However, he didn't say anything to refute it.
"Tell me, where are Uncle Li and the others now?" Zhong Nianyao finally remembered at this time, "Have they returned to the ground now?"
