211: Chapter 211: The Third Nine Souls Jade!
Xu Xiaoqing spoke and gradually shifted her gaze elsewhere; she now dared not to look at Ning Fan’s face any longer.
Especially Ning Fan’s gaze, Xu Xiaoqing always felt that if she looked his way, her head would definitely emit steam just like a steam engine.
The specific reason, Xu Xiaoqing herself couldn’t say why.
Ning Fan’s lips twitched.
Xu Xiaoqing, did she want him to rember or forget this?
“If you dare to speak of this matter, watch out, I’ll ‘snip’ you!”
As soon as the words were out, the little girl ran off as if escaping.
Ning Fan wore a bitter smile, helplessly shaking his head at the now empty doorway.
Just as he was about to step away, a cute little head suddenly popped back in at the door.
Xu Xiaoqing’s eyes darted around, her cheeks slightly flushed, still not daring to look at Ning Fan’s face.
Her voice sounded sowhat forced as she said, “Nothing happened just now, right?”
“Uh…
yes…
nothing happened…”
Ning Fan nodded stiffly, like a robot.
Xu Xiaoqing’s face then lit up with a smile, reverting to her usual mischievous and cute ways.
She made a scissors gesture with her hand, and just as Ning Fan thought she had gotten over it, the crafty spirit made the scissors gesture at him again.
“I’ll ‘snip’ you!”
Ning Fan found this both amusing and sad, Xu Xiaoqing had returned just to throw another verbal threat his way.
As for what the ‘snip’ entailed, it naturally went without saying.
After “threatening” Ning Fan, the girl quickly ran back to her own room.
She dove straight onto the big bed, burying her head in the pillow and into the blankets like an ostrich.
“Stinky Ning Fan…”
On the other side, Ning Fan, who had just reached his room’s door, sneezed.
“Definitely soone cursing !”
Ning Fan was convinced in his intuition, but he didn’t suspect Xu Xiaoqing.
Ring ring ring—
A call ca in, and Ning Fan, who had just returned to his room, pulled out his cell phone.
His gaze sharpened at the number, and he quickly closed the room door, making sure to lock it before picking up the call.
“Wang…”
That seductive, alluring voice—it was Jiuyou!
“I miss you so much!”
Jiuyou’s voice, like a lady pining from the inner chambers, poured out her longing to Ning Fan, and yet it sounded like an accusation that Ning Fan was not appreciative.
Just hearing the voice set the imagination running wild, and Ning Fan’s mind inevitably conjured up the image of Jiuyou’s figure, draped in silk, sensually twisting atop a bed, like a beautiful serpent.
Ning Fan took a deep breath, his lips curving into a slight smile, and asked sowhat helplessly, “What do you need from ?”
In the face of Jiuyou’s seduction, Ning Fan could be said to have beco used to it.
But to be honest, if this went on much longer, he feared he might not keep up nutritionally…
“Wuu…
Wang, don’t you miss
at all?” Jiuyou’s voice grew even more plaintive, yet irresistibly appealing.
If it weren’t for Ning Fan’s immunity, he would certainly have fallen for Jiuyou’s charms.
“I’ve brought you a surprise this ti!”
Ning Fan almost felt as if he could hear Jiuyou licking her lips, a tingling sensation in his ear.
Cursing under his breath ‘fairy,’ Ning Fan quickly responded, “How could I possibly not miss you, Jiuyou?
Tell , what’s the surprise?”
He was very interested in this surprise, for Ah Jiu had given him a call especially, which ant the surprise definitely wasn’t ordinary good news—it could possibly be about the Nine Souls Jade!
“How co I feel like you’re fooling soone?” Ah Jiu’s tone held a hint of grievance as she responded, seeming dissatisfied with Ning Fan’s answer.
At that mont, several lines of frustration appeared on Ning Fan’s forehead.
He knew all too well that Ah Jiu’s favorite pasti was teasing him, aware that his previous excuse wouldn’t cut it.
However, the thought of the surprise possibly being new information about the Nine Souls Jade stirred excitent within him that he couldn’t suppress.
“Stop teasing, Ah Jiu.
Quick, tell , what’s the good news?”
“Look at how anxious you are, just listen to
slowly say…” At this mont, Ah Jiu’s seductive abilities had Ning Fan’s appetite thoroughly whetted.
“There’s news about the new Nine Souls Jade!”
The Nine Souls Jade was very important to Ning Fan.
He believed that by gathering all the Nine Souls Jade, there was a good possibility that his lost mories could be restored.
For the past few years, Ning Fan had been searching for the Nine Souls Jade, and so far, he had obtained two pieces.
Now that Ah Jiu had inford him of yet another piece, there was no way Ning Fan could contain his excitent.
“Ah Jiu, is the information reliable?!”
Ning Fan’s expression shifted slightly, barely containing the thrill within him.
With new information about the crucial Nine Souls Jade in hand, and having not long acquired the last piece, Ning Fan couldn’t wait to possess this third piece, or even all of the Nine Souls Jade.
“I’ve already confird it, King, don’t you trust ?”
Ah Jiu’s ethereal voice floated into Ning Fan’s ears.
After the initial elation, Ning Fan’s expression turned a bit awkward as he realized that Ah Jiu was fishing for recognition.
If he didn’t show so appreciation, the little fairy Ah Jiu would definitely “hate him to death.”
“Having you around really does put my mind at ease!”
It was a simple sentence, yet it contained Ning Fan’s sincere emotions, a sentint from the bottom of his heart.
“Look at what you’re saying; you are my king, after all!”
Such acknowledgnt from Ning Fan made Ah Jiu feel that all her efforts were indeed worthwhile.
She was montarily satisfied.
Afterward, Ning Fan couldn’t wait to inquire about the whereabouts of this piece of Nine Souls Jade.
“Chen Fengnan!” A fierce glint flashed in Ah Jiu’s eyes.
“King, do you rember this person?”
“Chen Fengnan…
sounds sowhat familiar…”
Ning Fan frowned slightly, the na Chen Fengnan rang a bell, seemingly sothing he had heard sowhere, but he couldn’t quite recall at the mont.
“The representative of the Chen Financial Conglorate, one of the eight great international super conglorates.
Now that I’ve put it this way, you should rember, right?”
“It’s him!”
Ning Fan’s eyes sharpened, and a gleam shot through them.
With Ah Jiu’s reminder, he finally recalled who this Chen Fengnan was.
The eight great international super conglorates might be unheard of or unseen by common people, but within circles like Ning Fan’s, their reputation was renowned far and wide.
Especially the Chen Conglorate, a Chinese financial dynasty, had left an exceptionally profound impression on Ning Fan.
And Chen Fengnan was the face of the Chen Financial Conglorate.
They literally sat upon mountains of gold and silver.
To say their wealth was colossal was no exaggeration; most of the world’s richness laid in their hands.
If one were to estimate Chen Fengnan’s wealth, it could be described as wealthy enough to rival countries!
Such an individual, no matter where he went, was an object of fawning by various powers.
Ning Fan had heard of Chen Fengnan before but never had much interaction with him.
