Chapter 503: Chapter 501 Lu Xia Getting the Certificate 7_1

"Mom, I am your own flesh and blood, do you really have to speak with such disdain?" Xiaoyu, basking in the anticipation of imminent wealth, couldn’t help grinding his teeth upon hearing this.

"Hmph, stinky mom, let me tell you, after this pearl is sold, I’m saving all the money in my own piggy bank. You’re not allowed to claim it in the name of helping me save, then take it as your own!"

Xiaoyu, huffing and puffing, stood with his hands on his hips.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but cover their lips and snicker.

The Base Commander’s wife felt so embarrassed, she scolded him: "You little brat, wasn’t I just afraid you’d lose it, and wanted to keep it safe for you!"

"As if! That’s what all adults say." Xiaoyu, being such a smart kid, certainly didn’t believe her.

He glanced at the pearl again and then counted cheerfully on his fingers: "After selling it, I’m going to buy puzzles, Transformers, and also toy race cars, oh right, and a remote-controlled airplane..."

Before he could finish, there was a collective gasp from the crowd.

Unsuspecting, Xiaoyu’s shiny eyes lit up as he cheerfully asked, "Does that mean all the pearls have been dug out?"

No sooner had he spoken than he realized everyone was looking at him with pity.

Xiaoyu: "?"

Could there be something wrong with the pearl?

He quickly looked over at the pearl.

But the sight left him dumbfounded!

On the backside of the pearl there was still stone.

"How can this be!" Xiaoyu’s eyes widened incredulously.

The Oyster Opener Master sighed, a bit disappointed but having seen this type of thing before, he remained calm: "This is quite normal. If this oyster could live another seventy or eighty years, then the pearl could take proper form."

By that logic, wouldn’t he have to wait until he was practically in the grave to buy his little plane and race car?

Xiaoyu was on the verge of tears, clenching his little fists in frustrated rage.

The Base Commander’s wife felt a bit regretful too, but more than the ten thousand yuan, she wanted to take him down a peg.

"Hahaha! I knew it, how could you, you little rascal, be so lucky!"

The Base Commander’s wife burst into laughter, as if Xiaoyu wasn’t her own child.

Xiaoyu: "!!"

Is she really his mom!

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but look at him with sympathy.

Poor kid!

Feeling her gaze, Xiaoyu thought she was mocking him and immediately composed himself, snorting through his nostrils: "Woman, what are you looking at? I just had a bit of bad luck not finding a pearl this time, but you definitely won’t be able to find one!"

If he couldn’t get a pearl out of such a big oyster, she didn’t believe she could get anything out of her little one.

Xia Ningxing toyed with her own small oyster, smiling: "My oyster may be small, but that doesn’t mean it’s empty!"

Xiaoyu crossed his arms, speechless. "I don’t know where this woman gets her confidence from! She’s not afraid that she’ll slap her own face with disappointment!"

"Xiaoyu, you’re being very rude, do you know that!" The Base Commander’s wife stared at him with a headache, wishing she could shove him back into her womb and start over.

Xiaoyu pouted: "I’m just telling the truth!"

Xia Ningxing couldn’t be bothered with the bratty kid and handed her oyster over to the master.

"Master, please open this up."

The master took it, sighed at the tiny oyster no bigger than a baby’s palm: "Miss, I don’t mean to discourage you, but an oyster like this that hasn’t lived long, how could it possibly contain a pearl!"

"Exactly!" With the Oyster Opener Master saying so, everyone couldn’t help but heave a sigh.

Chief Lu is such a smart man, yet he ended up with a wife who seems to lack brains.

The Oyster Opener Master had already begun opening the oyster and then carefully searched inside.

Even though there was almost certainly nothing there, years of professional habit prevented him from using too much force.

As expected, even after almost completing the search, there was no sign of a pearl.

"I told you there wasn’t one."

"Isn’t that right? Just pick another at random, and it’d be better than this one."

"Exactly!"

Everyone started discussing again.

Xiaoyu then lifted her little chin proudly, staring at Xia Ningxing, "Woman, I didn’t get one, and you didn’t either, so this round is a tie. Do you have the guts to compete with me again?"

But just as she finished speaking, the Oyster Opener Master exclaimed in surprise, "Look at that! We’ve got something! There really is something!"

Everyone turned and immediately saw a pearl about three centimeters in diameter nestled in the corner.

"Oh my god, who would have thought that such a small oyster could yield anything!"

"And why do I feel like this one looks even better than the one Xiaoyu found?"

Although Xiaoyu’s pearl was flawed and had not fully evolved, it was undeniable that the other half of that pearl was of very impressive quality.

Lu Tingli’s slender eyes turned to Xia Ningxing, and he praised her with a smile, "My wife has really good luck."

"I think it’s because Lu was by my side, that’s why my luck was so good." Because you are the male lead, after all, with the male lead aura!

Xia Ningxing winked at him.

Lu Tingli touched her silky hair, his smile filled with indulgence.

Then, Xia Ningxing replied to Xiaoyu, "No need for another round, you lost."

Xiaoyu had not expected Xia Ningxing to actually find a pearl, and her eyes were glued to the pearl until Ningxing’s words pulled her from her shock, "You... you... don’t be smug just yet, your pearl might also be flawed!"

He glared at her.

Right!

It must be so!

If even his large oyster had a flawed pearl, let alone this small one!

He was certain of it.

Xiaoyu’s words immediately reminded everyone.

"Yeah, what if it’s also flawed?"

"It does seem possible."

"Tsk!"

The ones who had been envious just now couldn’t help feeling a bit of schadenfreude.

So what if there’s a pearl in your oyster? It’s still flawed, and that’s worse than not having one at all!

At least there wouldn’t be any regrets.

Xia Ningxing remained calm, confident that it couldn’t be flawed.

Although she didn’t understand where this strong intuition came from, Xia Ningxing trusted it immensely.

And indeed, very soon, everyone’s faces were swollen from being metaphorically slapped.

It was revealed!

A perfect whole pearl!

Not a flawed one at all!

And it seemed to be a pearl of the finest quality.

The pearl was lustrous white, emitting a bright, quiet light, and if someone didn’t know better, they might mistake it for a Luminous Pearl.

Such a superior pearl had never been seen on the market at Star Shine before.

"It’s a whole pearl!"

"So beautiful!"

"If this were for sale, I bet someone would buy it for a hundred thousand."

"Isn’t this a fortune!"

Everyone’s envious eyes were almost turning red.
