Chapter 411: The Fiancé Ran Away with the Most Beautiful Girl in the World (36)
Shu Shichu gained the most among the group, but she couldn't collect all the treasures back into the space, so she felt very distressed that there were still many treasures that sank to the bottom of the sea with Liuyu Island, so she joined the ranks of those who attacked the Nitian Sect: "Are these people from the Nitian Sect deliberately causing trouble? They can't get these treasures themselves, so they risk their lives to prevent us from getting them? How wicked."
However, when Shu Shichu thought about how the people from the Against Heaven Sect not only failed to obtain the treasure, but also failed to seek revenge on Xiao Yihan and the others, and instead pitted him to death, he found it funny. Did they come here specifically to make people laugh? His entire army was wiped out, and although the enemy failed to obtain the treasure, they were unharmed. If the people at the headquarters of the Against Heaven Sect knew about this, they probably wanted to scatter the ashes of these people - oh, I forgot, they were buried at the bottom of the sea, and there were no ashes...
When Shu Shichu was escaping, he did not forget to take a piece of animal skin wrapped with a bunch of gold, silver and jewelry as disguise. The others also took some treasures, so this trip was not too bad.
Mu Changqing simply spread out the bag in his hand and said, "What do you like? Pick it yourself."
Shu Shichu took a look and saw that they were all gems, jades, and precious jewelry ornaments. Although they were rare, Shu Shichu also had them, so she shook her head and refused, saying, "I have them too, so I don't need you to give them to me." As she spoke, she shook her package.
Le Wanrou got the least because she had the worst martial arts skills. She was in such a panic when she was escaping that she lost a lot of things she had packed. When she returned to the boat, she only had some small gems and night pearls left. So when she saw Mu Changqing's pile of glittering gold jewels, she was very jealous.
But Mu Changqing only let Shu Shichu choose and didn't let her make any choice, so she became jealous of Shu Shichu. But the thing belonged to Mu Changqing, so there was no point in her being jealous.
However, she still had a few loyal followers. After Ji Feibai and his men recovered from the regret of losing the huge treasure, they all tried to please her with the treasures they brought with them:
"Rou'er, I brought out a night-shining pearl the size of a fist. Do you like it?"
…
Shu Shichu did not stay here to see how they would please Le Wanrou. She hurried back to her room to check what treasures she had brought back.
Shu Shichu closed the door and sprinkled some sleeping pills near the door to make sure that no one would suddenly break in. Then he flashed into his own companion space.
As soon as she entered, she saw boxes of treasures piled up in the hall of her villa, including pieces of mutton-fat jade as big as tables used as screens, purple-gold pearls as thick as two fingers, and building models carved from whole pieces of jade...
Of course, there were even more golden ingots, shining so brightly that Shu Shichu was dizzy; there were also various gorgeous, dazzling and brilliant jewellery…all of them were priceless things, and any one of them was enough to make a person rich for a lifetime.
Even though Shu Shichu had traveled through many worlds and accumulated a lot of good things and was not short of money, when she saw these things, she couldn't help but get so excited that her heartbeat quickened a little. Her gains this time were really worth it!
Shu Shichu slept among the pile of jewels all night. Only after she had satisfied her urge to count the treasures did she come out of the space feeling refreshed.
Mu Changqing was elusive. As soon as Shu Shichu came out of the room, he appeared and very attentively took out a red jade fragrance ball with a unique shape and exquisite beauty. With deep eyes, he said: "Since you like to make perfumes so much, you will probably like this fragrance ball too, right? Only this red jade fragrance ball is worthy of you and the fragrances you make..."
When Shu Shichu saw this exquisite incense ball, which was only the size of a woman's fist, his eyes immediately lit up. This incense ball was carved from a whole piece of top-quality red jade. The shape was extremely gorgeous and exquisite, and the jade material was extremely crystal clear and colorful. It was so stunning at first sight that he wanted to take it for himself.
She then stopped being polite with Mu Changqing and happily took the Red Jade Delicate Fragrance Ball and said, "Then I won't refuse. I really like this fragrance ball."
Seeing her unconcealed love, Mu Changqing couldn't help but smile. When he saw this small scent ball at the critical moment when the underground palace collapsed yesterday, his first reaction was that Miss Zhan would like it very much, so he immediately picked up this small scent ball and brought it back.
He originally wanted to use this little toy to please her, and now she really likes it and is very happy, so his purpose has been achieved.
Shu Shichu played with the incense ball for a long time before he remembered to ask Mu Changqing: "What do you like? A jade pendant, a paperweight, a treasure fan, a painting or calligraphy, an antique, or something else? I can give it to you as a return gift."
The smile on Mu Changqing's face froze. He sighed, glanced at Shu Shichu with resentment, and then said casually, "Just ancient calligraphy and paintings. I don't lack anything else."
"That's just right. I brought back a painting of "Moon over Rivers and Mountains" by the former painting master yesterday. I'll give it to you later."
Shu Shichu said happily that she didn't want to owe Mu Changqing anything, and it was just right to return him something of similar value. In fact, the original work of the former dynasty's painting saint was worth more than the red jade incense ball in her hand, so Mu Changqing didn't lose out.
The process of returning to the mainland from Liuyu Island was smooth sailing. It took less than ten days to get back to the land. As soon as they came back, Xiao Yihan and the others said goodbye to Mu Changqing and Shu Shichu. They had originally only traveled together temporarily because they were going to Liuyu Island. Now that their goal had been achieved, it was natural for them to separate. After all, they did not have much friendship.
Shu Shichu never recognized Ji Feibai from beginning to end, because there was no need. Shu Shichu knew that he would suffer a lot in the process of pursuing Le Wanrou, and in the end he would not get the person he loved. Such torment and hopelessness were the most tormenting. Shu Shichu generously did not pursue the responsibility of him running to the Shu family to break off the engagement, which caused the original owner to fall seriously ill.
After Xiao Yihan and the others left, Shu Shichu also planned to say goodbye to Mu Changqing. After all, it was almost the end of the year, and she had to go home to celebrate the New Year with her family. She couldn't go with Mu Changqing, so she said directly to Mu Changqing: "I'm going home, it seems I have to say goodbye to you. The mountains are long and the waters are short, we will meet again if we are destined."
When Mu Changqing heard her words, he was so shocked that he stuttered: "Why, why do you want to go home so suddenly?"
"The New Year is coming soon. I've been away for almost a year. My family must miss me." Shu Shichu said. The Shu family treated her very well, and she wanted to go back earlier to see them and reassure them. They must have been worried all year, afraid that something might happen to their daughter, but in the end they were willing to give her freedom and let her go out on her own. Shu Shichu was grateful for this, so naturally she wanted to go back and spend more time with them.
After hearing the reason, Mu Changqing couldn't stop him, but he still asked hopefully, "Then can you tell me where you are from?"
Shu Shichu smiled without saying anything. The meaning was very clear. She could not possibly tell him her true life story.
Mu Changqing was immediately disappointed, but since Shu Shichu didn't say anything, he had no choice but to tell her: "I will be in Jiangnan Wuwang during the New Year. If you want to find me, you can go there... I hope you can find me."
He said to Shu Shichu with deep meaning in his eyes.
"It depends on the situation." Shu Shichu answered vaguely.
