Chapter 107 Gift of Jade
Chapter 107 Gift of Jade
what? !
As soon as these words were spoken, several relatives of the Yu family who had just been watching coldly looked over at the scene.
Asking people to make wishes casually? Everyone knows that the people in the fairy world value "keeping their words" the most. Since this seemingly young girl dared to say so, it means she is definitely not a low-level little character.
Moreover! How could such a high and mighty immortal be willing to have anything to do with this little girl from the Yu family? How could this little crybaby have such a good opportunity?
"Miss, please scream quickly..." The maid behind her was surprised and happy, and hurriedly reminded her in a low voice.
The little girl was thinking about the black cloth on Shen Qiao's eyes. She came back to her senses after being reminded by the maid. She called out to the person with a little restraint, "Little Sister..."
Shen Qiao was obviously happy when he heard it as he was teasing a child for the first time.
"Well, I heard you, now you can tell me your wish."
"Really?" The little girl looked at Shen Qiao with a pair of wet eyes. "If possible, I, I want my brother to get better soon, is that okay?"
As she spoke, she carefully observed Shen Qiao's expression, as if she was afraid of being rejected.
Shen Qiao chuckled, "This has already been achieved."
"I mean, make a wish about yourself."
"My own..." The child lowered his head and thought again and again, and finally, as if a flash of inspiration came, he spoke again, "Then can I see your eyes?"
"Pfft..."
Someone in the crowd sneered, and the envious glances were immediately withdrawn. Some people even cast undisguised looks of contempt.
Only this kid could raise such an offensive and worthless question. It's such a waste of a good opportunity.
The maidservant next to her was also frightened by these words and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry! Little Immortal, my lady is just curious and means no harm!"
Shen Qiao didn't seem to care about this presumptuous request, "No problem."
She still faced the little girl and said gently, "I can agree to your request, but you have to think about it carefully. I only said that I can fulfill only one of your wishes. Once you use up this opportunity, there will be no more opportunities." She reminded the little girl again.
"I've made up my mind!" The child nodded firmly, staring at Shen Qiao without blinking.
"Hmm...okay then."
Seeing Shen Qiao about to untie the cloth strips, the others couldn't help but secretly take a few more glances at him.
As the heavy cloth was untied one by one, a pair of dull yet exceptionally clear eyes were revealed. Willow-shaped eyebrows, star-like eyes, skin as white as cream... It truly lived up to the saying: "Autumn water is the spirit, jade is the bones, lotus is the face, willow is the brow."
If she grows up, she will definitely be a very pretty and beautiful girl!
The little girl was almost fascinated by Shen Qiao's eyes. She couldn't help but want to reach out and touch them, but she was afraid of being too presumptuous, so she raised her hand a little and then quickly retracted it.
As she looked into those eyes, she blushed and whispered, "Sister, you are so beautiful."
Shen Qiao supported his face with one hand and smiled, "Your little mouth is so sweet."
"Since you praised me, I'll give you something as a thank you."
Is there anything else to give?!
After he finished speaking, everyone saw Shen Qiao produce a blue-purple ring-shaped jade pendant out of thin air in his hand. A few knowledgeable people were stunned at the sight of it.
Such hue…such texture…and that color!
This is definitely not comparable to ordinary jade from the mortal world! If it could really be sold, it would be worth at least a three-story courtyard!
"Keep this for yourself, and don't break it unless absolutely necessary. Got it?"
"Yeah, I got it."
Did it fall?? It sounds like this thing has other uses.
Several jade merchants couldn't help but shudder at this. But... such a fine thing, just thrown away like that?? Are all monks so generous?!
The child carefully took the jade pendant handed to him by Shen Qiao. When he held it in his hand, he subconsciously said in surprise: "It's warm..."
This sigh made the older people feel even more itchy in their hearts. After all, the things in the fairy world were so rare. Even if some of them flowed into the human world, most of them were taken away by the powerful and royal families. People at their level could not get access to them.
And it is said that things from the fairyland have spiritual energy, and even touching them can get rid of bad luck on your body, right?
"Oh, right." Shen Qiao said casually, as if he suddenly remembered something, "This thing can only be used by you. If someone else accidentally takes it away..."
As she spoke, she slowly raised her head and looked at the people who were quietly approaching her with a smile, "Something bad will happen to that person."
A few people who wanted to find an excuse to take a look at it were silent for a moment, and finally looked away in embarrassment, scratching their heads.
"Thank you, thank you, little immortal." The maid accompanying the child saw that Shen Qiao was leaving a "life-saving talisman" for her young lady, and thanked him repeatedly with gratitude.
"Sister, can I ask you another question?" the child asked hesitantly.
"Tell me about it." Shen Qiao still looked easy to talk to, but after that, the others only heard her add, "But I may not answer."
If an ordinary adult heard this, he would probably stop talking. But children are children after all. They are simple-minded and don’t think it’s wrong. Instead, they are curious.
Sure enough, the child thought about it for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why?"
"Because everyone has the right to refuse." Shen Qiao said patiently.
"Including you. You can also refuse unreasonable requests or requests. This is your right to protect yourself."
These words sounded like they were calling for rebellion, but the reason Shen Qiao said this to the little girl was because she saw that the child had been brought up too obediently. If she had this kind of personality, in the future...
Thinking of the child's future fate, Shen Qiao sighed inwardly.
"Is that so..." The little girl pondered for a while. Shen Qiao didn't know how much she could understand of this truth at her age, but being a little rebellious was better than being bullied.
The child nodded, and when he looked up again, he looked serious. "I see. Can I ask questions now?"
Shen Qiao nodded, indicating that she could continue.
"I, I just want to ask you..." the child said as he moved closer, "Can I become someone like you in the future?"
“…Is this important?”
The little girl nodded, "It's very important!"
"I also want to be as beautiful and powerful as my sister!"
This little thing... is really...
Shen Qiao smiled helplessly, "Yes, you will become a better person than me."
"But never be 'me'."
