"Of course, like mother, like son."
You laughed shalessly.
Considering what you knew of your mother, it was clear you both belonged to the wolf pack, once you opened your mouth, you never returned empty-handed.
Therefore, Du Xishan sighed deeply and said, "Three percent, no more than three percent!"
"Alright, having so is better than none."
As you said this, you reached out to the tall beauty and said with a smile, "My lady, may I borrow that white jade thumb ring again?"
In fact, you didn’t know how to deal with these things, but sothing in your mind was roughly forming - a thought that seed, might, possibly could work.
After receiving the white jade thumb ring from the tall beauty, you prepared to squeeze out another drop of blood, but found that the wound had already healed, leaving you no choice but to bite another finger.
The blood drop that fell into the white jade thumb ring didn’t cause any disturbance, but in that instant, an idea sprang to your mind unbidden, as if this was what you were always ant to do.
So, you did it, slipping the white jade thumb ring onto the thumb of your right hand, and just as it passed the nail, you saw golden inscriptions erge on the ring that began to co alive and wriggle like snakes, quickly coiling around the joint of your thumb.
"Hiss—"
As they say, all fingers are connected to the heart; a drilling pain surged from your right thumb, causing you to shake your hand and drop the white jade thumb ring.
Just as this three-thousand-year-old relic was about to hit the ground, the tall beauty at your side reacted swiftly, catching it in her hand. Seeing this, you finally exhaled a long breath of relief, and then a ssage appeared in your mind, prompting you to instinctively mimic the motion of drawing a bow.
"What... what is this?"
In the shocked eyes of Du Xishan and the others, a golden bow and arrow suddenly appeared in your hands!
"Who cares what it is, shoot first and ask questions later!"
Truth be told, you had no idea why the golden bow and arrow appeared; the knowledge simply popped into your mind without any summons, but you intelligently surmised that it must be related to the golden inscription that had rged with your thumb.
You aid at the Kui Dragon, Lufang Zun!
"Stop!"
Upon seeing this, Du Xishan hastily shouted.
At the sa mont, a ghostly apparition erged from within the Kui Dragon, Lufang Zun, resembling so serpent-like monster. You had not yet discerned its true form when it let out an enraged roar, "Roar—"
The scattered limbs and debris around you suddenly sprang to action, lunging towards you fiercely!
"Too late!"
The golden arrowhead flew from the string, shooting straight at the monster hovering above the Kui Dragon, Lufang Zun!
The golden arrow struck true, piercing the monster’s brow; its form began to dissipate amidst its howls, and at the sa ti, all the scattered remains vanished with it.
"What on earth just happened?"
"What was that thing just now?"
"What did you do to it?"
The middle-aged man beside Du Xishan, whose na you didn’t know, bombarded you with questions.
And before you could answer, a sharp "crack!" resounded as the Kui Dragon, Lufang Zun, suddenly split into two halves!
Both Du Xishan and the middle-aged man exchanged glances, their expressions were exaggerated, as though they had just seen the sky fall, mouths agape, unable to utter a word.
"Uh... I didn’t know this thing would split, but with bronze ware, a bit of patching up should do the trick," you said, realizing you were laughing rather hollowly.
"You owe a Kui Dragon, Lufang Zun!"
The middle-aged man lunged at you, gripping your throat tightly with both hands, his desperate deanor as if you had just slain his entire family.
"Professor, this white jade thumb ring, give it to Director Chen," you managed to say.
The tall beauty handed out the white jade thumb ring, her action essentially saved your life.
You should know that what you just destroyed was the treasure of the Jiangzhe University Museum, and this middle-aged man is nad Chen Duan, the curator of the museum. If he decided to take you to court, you would surely end up rotting in jail.
"Fan Yi student, do you, do you, do you, do you really want to give this treasure to , oh no, to the museum?"
Her na is Fan Yi, huh, a very special na.
Huh?
Her surna is Fan?
You knew a little about this quite distinctive surna and imdiately turned to ask her, "Are you a descendant of the Shang Dynasty?"
She nodded.
To have a lineage that has continued for over three thousand years is indeed remarkable!
"So that ans, this white jade thumb ring is an heirloom of your family?"
She continued to nod, a girl of few words.
She was delicate and serene, just like a lotus flower quietly blooming among the lily pads, radiant yet not bewitching, beautiful and pure.
"No, this is your family heirloom, how can you give it to him?"
"What are you giving ? This is compensation to the museum!"
Chen Duan hurriedly snatched the white jade thumb ring from Fan Yi’s hand, cherishing it in the palm of his hand as if it were a precious treasure.
"I was saving your life just now. If that shadow of the Kui dragon hadn’t disappeared, we would all have beco those mutilated bodies, eternally enslaved by it!"
You walked towards Chen Duan, and this guy actually started running, dashing out in an instant.
"It’s okay, Little Yi was already preparing to hand it over to the state."
"Oh NO, Professor, don’t push away with such disgusting words; listening to them is suffocating!"
Fan Yi walked up to you, with a faint fragrance that you could only sll if you were closer than twenty centiters to her.
She looked at your index finger with an almost devout gaze, and under her watch, the golden inscription erged once again.
"It has found its true master."
She smiled, and for a mont, you were slightly dazed. However, you quickly turned your head away, constantly reminding yourself, "You already have Sister Zhao’er, you already have Sister Zhao’er..."
Afterward, Du Xishan dragged Du Xihai away, and you and Fan Yi walked out of the museum side by side. Although it seed like you had been inside for a long ti, it was getting dark when you ca out.
"Where do you plan to go next?" you turned to ask Fan Yi beside you.
"I..."
Just as she spoke, a ringtone ca from your pocket.
"Sorry, I need to take a call." You apologized with a smile to her, and taking out your phone, you saw it was Lin Panxia calling, "Xiaxia, what’s up?"
"Sister Zhao’er is missing."
At the mont you heard this, you didn’t explode as usual, but said in a voice as low as it could possibly get, "Where are you?"
"I... I’ve been looking for Sister Zhao’er with Sister Xiaoyou."
"Where are you?"
You repeated the sa question again.
Lin Panxia had never heard you speak to her in such a tone, and was imdiately brought to tears.
Soon, Wu Qiyi took over the call, speaking in her usual indifferent tone, "We are at West Lakeside."
After confirming the specific location with Wu Qiyi, you turned away from Fan Yi and called Xiao Feng, "Feng, Zhao’er is missing."
