Xia Muqing was puzzled. She looked down at the jade pendant hanging on her chest. There was still a trace of warmth on it. Ye Qingxuan had just taken it off his body.

That thought made her face heat up. She tried her best to compose her emotions before carefully observing this jade pendant.

After all, the few times she had seen this jade pendant, she had always looked at it from afar. Now that she looked at it closely, she was even more certain that this jade pendant was connected to the strange pearls. The patterns on it were almost identical, but she still had to compare them.

With that in mind, Xia Muqing quickly returned to the courtyard. She wanted to take out the pearl from her bag, but she couldn’t find it. She searched the entire bag but there was no pearl.

Xia Muqing frowned. Did she lose it? That was impossible. She had never taken it out of this courtyard.

Could it be the man in black who barged in yesterday?

Xia Muqing called Gungun who was playing, and asked, “Gungun, did the man who came in yesterday touch this bag?”

Gungun tilted its head in thought and replied, “No, Master.”

Xia Muqing was even more puzzled. Where did the pearl go?

She asked Gungun to look for it together. The woman and the beast searched the entire room, but there was no sight of the pearl. Gungun couldn’t find it in any of the corners as well. After the search, Gungun had already become covered in dust.

Xia Muqing looked at the spiderwebs hanging from its head and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Gungun wanted to remove the stuff on its head with its claws, but as its claws were short, it couldn’t reach it.

Its comical behavior made Xia Muqing laugh until she clenched her tummy. Gungun turned around angrily with its back facing her.

Xia Muqing knew that she had gone overboard. She picked it up and said, “All right, it’s been hard on you today. I’ll cook your favorite roasted meat later, okay?”

Gungun shifted, but it still insisted on turning its back to her.

Xia Muqing continued, “And two grilled fish?”

“Your favorite silver fish. I heard that there’s another batch of the fish in the pond in the backyard. They’re all fat and huge. One look and I can tell they’re delicious.”

Although Gungun didn’t turn around, Xia Muqing could already hear it sucking its saliva.

She smiled knowingly and said, “Let me help you shower. After that, we’ll go and grill the fish.”

This time, Gungun threw itself into her arms. The dirt on its body smeared across her chest. This time, both of them were equally dirty.

After Gungun had done its evil deed, the corners of its mouth curled into an evil smile.

Xia Muqing didn’t get angry. She smiled and shook her head before bringing it to take a bath.

After getting the servants to bring a bucket of hot water, Xia Muqing took out a basin and poured some warm water into it. She carefully tested the temperature of the water before putting Gungun inside.

Gungun was a Nightmare Beast and they had one characteristic: they didn’t like water. Therefore, as soon as it entered the water, it started splashing around. Water splashed everywhere, and even the bed was splashed with water droplets. Xia Muqing had no choice but to casually grab a piece of cotton cloth and covered Gungun to prevent it from splashing water everywhere.

Xia Muqing casually pulled something and it fell into the basin along with the cotton cloth.

Clank. The sound was very loud.

Gungun was hit. Its two little paws searched the water before it took out a black slab.

This was the rusty slab she had bought from a young man when she bought the pearl previously.

The moment the slab touched the water, its color slowly changed. The darkness on the metal retreated bit by bit, revealing its true appearance.

Xia Muqing and Gungun watched its transformation intently.

Ever since she bought this rusty slab, she had never paid attention to it. It seemed that this thing came from a special background.. She remembered that she had bought this slab in order to mask her desire to buy the pearl.
