Chapter 174 Emerald Watermelon
Chapter 174 Emerald Watermelon
"Storage ring?" Zhao Ziqing looked at the ring curiously, a little confused by this new concept.
"It's just a place to store things." Lin Fan smiled, and with a thought, a gold brick appeared in his hand. Zhao Ziqing stared at the gold brick that appeared out of thin air, astonished.
"Remember that sword I mentioned earlier? It's stored here too."
Lin Fan said lightly, while handing the gold brick in his hand to Zhao Ziqing, "This is for you."
Zhao Ziqing took the heavy gold brick and was speechless for a moment. This gift was truly too "real".
Then, Lin Fan took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket as if performing magic and lit one elegantly, "Are there a lot of treasures in your storage ring?" Zhao Ziqing was surprised. Even the cigarettes were prepared so thoughtfully?
"Yes, the space inside is more than 100 square meters, which can hold a lot of rare treasures." Lin Fan smiled and nodded.
"When I left the sect, my master gave me dozens of tons of gold and various rare treasures, including that pink diamond. I never paid much attention to it until I saw the 'Tears of the Goddess' today. Then I remembered that I also have a similar pink diamond, so I decided to give it to you."
Zhao Ziqing was so shocked she was almost speechless. It was unbelievable that such a vast space could be hidden within this small ring. As for the dozens of tons of gold and rare treasures, they seemed less important to her.
"Is this the legendary 'Jie Zi Xu Mi'?"
"That's about right. If you want to explain it using scientific principles, you can also understand it as the application of multi-dimensional space. This actually involves the use of space technology." Lin Fan explained casually.
Zhao Ziqing struggled to digest this information, her worldview seemingly completely overturned at that moment. This world was far more complex and mysterious than she had imagined. But considering that even the existence of "ghosts" had been confirmed, a storage ring seemed less difficult to accept.
"Oh, by the way, when I was looking for the pink diamond in the ring just now, I also found some exquisite jade jewelry. I'll show them to you when we get home." Lin Fan suddenly thought of something and said excitedly.
"Jade? That's great, I'm looking forward to it." Zhao Ziqing has a special liking for jade.
Soon after, their Maserati slowly drove into the villa area. The lights in the living room were dimmed, while the rooms upstairs were dark.
"Sister Chudong should have rested by now, so we should be gentle." Zhao Ziqing reminded softly.
The two of them tiptoed into the living room. Lin Fan didn't say much and directly took out a piece of jade art from his storage ring.
"This...is this Jade Cabbage?" Zhao Ziqing's eyes widened as he looked at the lifelike work in front of him in disbelief.
"Impossible!" she blurted out.
"What's impossible?" Lin Fan asked curiously, noticing her unusually strong reaction.
"This jade cabbage can't possibly appear here!" Zhao Ziqing's voice trembled slightly.
"Then where should it be?" Lin Fan became even more curious.
"It should be in a museum in Taipei!" Zhao Ziqing stared at the cabbage, the more she looked at it, the more she felt it bore a striking resemblance to the exhibit she remembered. She had seen the jade cabbage in person at the museum a few years before, and this one was an exact replica.
"Museum?" Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, could it be that the old man really stole the treasures from the museum?
"Yes, that's the museum's treasure." Zhao Ziqing said as she took out her phone to search, then showed the screen to Lin Fan. "Look, aren't they exactly the same?"
"It's exactly the same." Lin Fan frowned as he compared them.
"Did your master give this to you?" Zhao Ziqing's tone was full of doubt.
"Yes." Lin Fan nodded.
"How did he get it?" Zhao Ziqing asked.
"I don't know either." Lin Fan shook his head, searching for information on his phone, but couldn't find any reports of the Jade Cabbage being stolen. Just three days ago, there was news about the Jade Cabbage being on display. This meant the cabbage in the museum was still safe and sound.
"Could there be two identical jade cabbages? One in the museum and one here?" Lin Fan made a bold hypothesis.
"I've never heard of two identical jade cabbages." Zhao Ziqing frowned and thought.
"The one in the museum is fake, and this one is real." Lin Fan was confident in his judgment. He had complete faith in the old man's vision and taste. After all, with his status and position, it was impossible for him to collect a fake.
However, just as Zhao Ziqing began to accept this shocking fact, Lin Fan took out another jade artwork from the storage ring.
"Xiaoqing, look at this. This jade watermelon is carved so realistically that it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing." Lin Fan showed it to Zhao Ziqing with a smile.
Zhao Ziqing widened her eyes, shocked again by the scene before her.
Zhao Ziqing's exclamation broke the silence of the night. At that moment, her originally cold and aloof temperament as a female CEO disappeared.
"Oh my god!" Who would have thought that such a rough exclamation would come out of Zhao Ziqing's red lips.
Zhao Ziqing, who was known for her icy beauty, now had completely lost her image.
What kind of magic does this watermelon contain that can make Zhao Ziqing lose her composure like this?
"Impossible!" she blurted out, her face full of disbelief.
Zhao Ziqing seemed to have completely forgotten her image. She moved closer to the watermelon, stared at it carefully with wide eyes, and even her breathing became rapid.
Looking at her, Lin Fan couldn't help but joked, "I've never seen you so excited when you kissed me." At the same time, he became even more curious about the origin of this watermelon.
Zhao Ziqing suddenly raised her head and asked, "Is this the only one?"
Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, just one. Why, you want another car?"
"If it's really an emerald watermelon, then it should be a pair." Zhao Ziqing's tone revealed a hint of disappointment.
"Emerald Watermelon? This name is too uncreative." Lin Fan said with some disgust.
Zhao Ziqing excitedly pointed at the watermelon and said, "Do you know its history? It's said to have been a favorite of Empress Dowager Cixi, and was even buried with her. It was stolen by tomb robbers and its whereabouts have been unknown ever since."
"Funerary objects? That's too unlucky." Lin Fan frowned and said with some disgust.
"I wanted to give it to you, but since it's a burial item, forget it. It's too unlucky."
"No, I'm not afraid of bad luck!" Zhao Ziqing blurted out, but then changed her mind and said, "No, I mean, it's too precious. I can't accept it."
