Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Senior Brother Ji swept his hand in the air, pulled out a rectangular treasure chest with 10-20 rubies embedded on it, and handed it over to our dear Qiao Mu with a grin.
When the treasure chest was opened, the gleam from the jewels and jades inside nearly blinded everyone.
When have the villagers of Qiaotou Village ever seen so many jewels and jewelry in their life? The women of Qiaotou Village typically only use a fishbone hairpin or a normal shoddy wooden hairpin to secure their hair, and they rarely used jade hairpins. When have they ever used such precious jewelry and hair ornaments? Admiration leaked out of everyone’s eyes, and their gazes toward the treasure chest turned more fervent.
Wasn’t every girl the same? Who wouldn’t like jewelry full of gems and jades? Senior Brother Ji was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence, but who knew he would encounter an oddball!
Qiao Mu merely took one glance at the chest before looking away, obviously disinterested. More than that, this child even emphatically patted the gold embroidered pouch in her chest.
Other people did not understand her meaning, but how could Senior Brother Ji and the members of the Heavenly Dao Sect not?
This little guy was clearly saying: “I want gold! I only want gold!!! I don’t like it! I don’t want it!”
The Heavenly Dao Sect members’ mouths twitched, and Senior Brother Ji had no choice but to take the treasure chest back and exchange it with a chest of gold ingots before handing it to Qiao Mu.
He opened the chest and showed her its contents, and the flash of dazzling golden light once again blinded all the villagers.
“Here is 300 taels of gold as compensation to you, Little Miss,” Senior Brother Ji stated with laughter. “That dead hyena is the true culprit for scratching you, Little Miss, so he has no one but himself to blame for his death! Our Heavenly Dao Sect is compensating you with tremendous sincerity and requests you to release our Junior Sister Liu.”
