Chapter 1069: One thousand and sixty-seven, rely on the mountain
"Luminous Pearl." Luo Shu curled her lips. These Luminous Pearls were as common as cattle in the True Cultivation World, and there were at least a hundred of them in her ring. Luminous Pearls might not hold much value for cultivators, but to ordinary people, they were priceless treasures. She gifted one specifically to give Mu Wan face.
"Luminous Pearl?" The person in charge of receiving gifts froze. Of course, he’d heard of Luminous Pearls but had never seen one. The most famous example was the Luminous Pearl placed in Empress Dowager Cixi’s mouth when she was buried, and the nine Luminous Pearls embedded in her phoenix crown were equally renowned. If this pearl were anything like those legendary ones, it would truly be a treasure of the ages.
The person responsible for receiving gifts snapped out of his daze. "Does this Luminous Pearl glow in the dark?"
"Naturally," Luo Shu nodded.
The gift handler stared fixedly at the Luminous Pearl in his hand. "Let me note down your name." Oh my God! Who is this person? She’s unbelievably generous.
"Luo Shu," she announced her name.
"Alright!" Reluctantly, the person in charge closed the jade box and placed it aside, but his gaze remained glued to it. Whether it was the jade box or the Luminous Pearl—both were priceless treasures. He couldn’t help but want to see if the pearl would glow in the dark.
Li Bingrui and his wife sat on the sofa enjoying tea, while Wei Yanzhi remained visibly aggrieved. She had no intention of swallowing today’s humiliation; she would find a chance to vent.
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps approached. "Master! Madam!"
Li Bingrui and the two women turned to see the butler rushing in with an uncharacteristically animated expression.
"What happened?" Li Bingrui asked curiously. The butler had always been composed and reserved, and seeing him this agitated was rare.
The butler stepped forward, holding out a small jade box in his hands. "Master, this is a gift from Third Young Madam’s friend."
