Chapter 225 (1/2)

Chapter 225 – No matter what, there’s still me.

“Let me think of a way.” Jiu Zun pressed his hand on her thigh to prevent her from moving recklessly.

Ning Xuemo forced herself to take a deep breath and calmed the panic in her heart. She sat up properly. “Okay! I won’t move around!”

Jiu Zun once again glanced at her with appreciation in his gaze.

If it was a normal girl encountering such a situation, they would have long screamed themselves hoarse. That she was able to calm down so quickly proved that she had a remarkable character!

She appeared very playful and lively, but when she needed to be calm, she could be calmer than anyone else!

Smart, wise, lively, calm, cunning, ruthless… These traits seemed somewhat contradictory, but possessed by her, they all seemed to be perfectly combined.

Jiu Zun took out a snow white pouch with flowers embroidered on it from his sleeve and took out a few things.

There was a little jasper gourd, silver knives, silver scissors and some amulets…

Once all of these things had been arranged properly, his hands once again pressed on her thighs before casting her another glance. “It’ll be a bit painful. Bear with it.” His hands were soft yet contained a strength as stable as a mountain, which could calm people’s hearts.

The acute pain coming from her legs caused sweat to break out on Ning Xuemo’s forehead. However, she forced out a smile. “Just do your thing, I can handle it!”

Jiu Zun nodded, but after some thinking, he tossed something to her. “Bite this.”

Ning Xuemo examined it before realizing that it was the highest quality jadeite ornament with a carving of a Luan and a Phoenix[1] perching on a branch. The craftsmanship was exquisite. Regardless of whether it was the birds or the branch and leaves under its claws, they were incredibly lifelike.

‘This Jiu Zun just casually tossed out a treasure!’

If such a large high quality jadeite was brought to the modern era, the price it could fetch could easily reach around a million.

Yet, he just casually took it out for her to bite on. Obviously, he was afraid that she would bite off her own tongue from the pain.

Ning Xuemo once again cast a glance at the jade ornament; her heart was suddenly moved.

‘This dark green Luan and Phoenix perched on a branch, could it stand for Ye Qingluan[2]?’
