While the housekeeper was preparing supper, Chu Beihe returned to his room and changed into home clothes.
It’s a completely different feeling compared to the casual outfit he wore last time he had dinner.
Jiang Xuxu couldn't help but take another look.
Well, just a glance.
The two of them finished two servings of dumplings in silence, facing each other.
After packing up the things, Jiang Xuxu remembered another thing.
"You said you had something for me? What was it?"
When Chu Beihe heard that she still remembered this, his black eyes moved slightly, and he simply took her to the study. Then, he took out a black teardrop-shaped pendant that looked like ore from the drawer of the study.
It was clearly a black shell, but the inside seemed like transparent crystal, and there seemed to be something flowing faintly.
Jiang Xuxu couldn't tell what material the stone was made of, but the pure spiritual energy it contained immediately attracted her.
"This is a pendant I bought at an auction. It is said to be a newly discovered mineral that is very rare. Whoever owns this pendant can also have the right to name this type of mineral."
Chu Beihe said as he placed the water drop pendant directly into Jiang Xuxu's palm.
"Now, the right to name it is given to you."
The moment the pendant touched his hand, Jiang Xuxu was stunned.
It was not only because of the significance of Chu Beihe's pendant, but also because the moment the pendant fell on her palm, the pure spiritual energy on the pendant seemed to penetrate into her palm little by little, and then slowly merged with her own spiritual power.
Even Jiang Xuxu was startled by the obvious feeling in his body.
This pendant can actually replenish spiritual energy?
Spirit Stone?
"You gave it to me just because it's rare?"
Jiang Xuxu couldn't help but test it, "Can you feel the spiritual energy on this pendant?"
"Aura?"
Chu Beihe asked her calmly, "Is that the spiritual energy that you mentioned before, that emanates from me?"
With Jiang Xuxu's poor visibility of Chu Beihe's expression, she couldn't tell whether he was lying or not. She could only barely judge from his tone that he probably, seemed to really not understand these things.
But Jiang Xuxu still told him about the spiritual energy and doubts she felt from the pendant.
Because if this pendant is really so special, then its value must be immeasurable.
She must tell him the value of this thing, and after he knows it, he can decide whether to continue to give it to her.
Although she often secretly plucked the golden light and spiritual energy from Chu Beihe, she always did so while ensuring that it would not cause any harm to him.
Jiang Xuxu considered it very carefully, but Chu Beihe didn't seem to care. After listening to her talk about "value", he just said,
"I felt this pendant was very special the first time I saw it. Since it has the potential to help you replenish your spiritual power, I definitely did not make a mistake in giving you this gift."
Jiang Xuxu didn't expect that he didn't care at all. Her heart moved slightly, but she couldn't help asking him,
"But why do you suddenly want to give me a gift?"
The nine-tailed brooch before could barely be considered as an entrance gift for her, so what was it this time?
Chu Beihe looked at her with deep black eyes and said,
"Next month, I will be away from Hai City for a while, and I may not be able to come back in time."
He paused and said,
"Consider this as an early birthday present for you."
Jiang Xuxu was reminded by him that her birthday was indeed next month.
But how did Chu Beihe know about this?
As soon as this doubt flashed through her mind, she quickly found the answer.
There is probably nothing that the big boss wants to know that he cannot know.
What's more, he has Jiang Huai.
Jiang Xuxu felt a little warm in the heart. Holding the pendant in his palm, another subtle emotion surged in his heart.
This was different from the time when she unilaterally decided to be responsible for him in the restaurant after he blocked the fire bomb for her.
This time, she "wanted" to be responsible for him more.
No matter what kind of existence he is.
"Chu Beihe, are you willing to..."
Jiang Xuxu was halfway through her words when suddenly, as if she sensed something, her expression suddenly froze.
Without having time to finish her last words to Chu Beihe, she simply took out a piece of talisman paper and recited the formula quickly.
"Spirit of this world, listen to my call and come!"
Following her command, Chu Beihe saw the talisman in her hand emit a burst of spiritual light, and the next second, a soul shadow suddenly fell from the void.
It was He Yuanying who was sent by Jiang Xuxu to follow Zhou Yaya.
What was surprising was that He Yuanying's soul was visibly weak, with a wisp of black mist lingering on it.
Jiang Xuxu's eyes darkened, and he condensed his spiritual power into a blade in his palm, and without saying a word, he slashed at the mist.
The entangled mist broke off and quickly dissipated into the air.
Seeing this, Jiang Xuxu hurriedly looked at He Yuanying lying on the ground.
He Yuanying's soul was damaged. He looked at her miserably. The next second, he started to cry.
"Xu Xu, I almost died."
"Don't talk nonsense, you were already dead."
Jiang Xuxu seriously corrected her statement.
"I almost lost my soul."
He Yuanying changed his words, but he did not forget the main thing.
"You're right. There really is a powerful evil master behind Zhou Yaya. I was discovered by him accidentally, and he even sent a cloud of black mist to attack me..."
He Yuanying was not actually very panicked when she was discovered at first.
She thought that she was a hundred-year-old ghost after all, and had learned some ghost magic from Jiang Xuxu. Even if she couldn't beat the person away, she would definitely have no problem escaping.
Who would have thought that the guy had a strange black mist around him.
She nearly died there.
"Alright, I'll get you a Yin Gathering Talisman to nourish your soul first, and I'll deal with the evil master later."
"You have to help me get revenge." He Yuanying said.
"Report, report, report."
Jiang Xuxu responded repeatedly, took out a talisman, asked her to go in, and took her home first.
As a result, He Yuanying did not move and continued to look at her pitifully.
"Since I was so badly injured for you, can I make one more request?"
"What?" Jiang Xuxu asked.
He Yuanying secretly glanced at Chu Beihe next to him, and then said eagerly,
"I want to stay here and nourish my soul~"
Jiang Xuxu: ...
It can be seen that the injury is not serious.
…
The other side.
The white-haired old man looked at the big ghost that suddenly disappeared in front of him, his face a little gloomy, "It turned out to be a contracted ghost servant."
Zhou Yaya walked out from the side. She didn't see any big ghosts, so she subconsciously asked the old man,
"Mr. Shen, will there be any changes?"
"Just a little devil, it can't affect us."
The old man called Mr. Shen looked at Zhou Yaya and asked, "Have you got everything?"
Zhou Yaya nodded and took out two transparent glass bottles from her bag. One bottle contained a few drops of blood and the other contained a few strands of hair.
"I just got this from Jiang Cheng. Now, I can start the art of changing my fate."
