Chapter 835: Chapter 836-837 Eating Hotpot (4)

Nangong Yi’s attitude towards Helana pleased Cai Wei immensely. Helana had traveled thousands of miles to find Nangong Yi, and her covetous heart was plain for all to see. If he showed her any pity or care, she might delude herself into thinking he was interested in her, and then cling to hope and entangle herself further.

Thus, dealing with her with a nearly cruel attitude while secretly ensuring her safety was indeed the most appropriate course of action.

She curved her lips into a smile, picked up a cooked melo snail with her chopsticks, and placed it on his plate, gently saying, "This tastes good dipped in the sauce too!"

It was a rare moment of tenderness from her, and Nangong Yi was eager to play along. As he picked the meat out of the shell, a ’thud’ sound was heard, and a round orange pearl fell out of the meat and onto the table.

"Oh, what is this?"

Cai Wei picked up the smooth pearl with excitement and examined it closely. It was the size of a pigeon’s egg, with a lustrous ceramic-like appearance and flame structure, and was orange in color, very beautiful indeed.

Nangong Yi took the pearl and glanced at it, saying, "This is a ’Dragon Pearl,’ also known as a ’Fire Flame Pearl.’ It’s quite rare. Imperial Mother has one too; I bought it for her for a thousand taels of silver when I was younger. However, hers is neither as large nor as fine as this one. Keep it safe!"

Cai Wei was astonished: "What? Just one pearl is worth over a thousand taels of silver?"

Oh, dear!

She had plenty of melo snails ’In Space,’ and if each one could produce a pearl like this, wouldn’t she be raking in a fortune? And if other types of shellfish could also produce pearls,

wouldn’t her dream of becoming the richest person in Great Jin be one step closer?

Her heart ’thud thud thud’ pounded. She wished she could enter Space now. Nangong Yi said, "A thousand taels is just the price for Imperial Mother’s pearl. Your pearl is far superior to hers in terms of color, quality, and size. In my opinion, selling this pearl for seven or eight thousand taels should be no problem!"

Cai Wei’s heartbeat intensified. The delicious hotpot had lost its taste, and she ate hurriedly, wishing she could finish instantly and find a no-man’s land to Enter Space!

However, as soon as she finished eating, she did not get the chance to leave; she fell into a warm, firm embrace.

"Good girl, it’s hot at noon, don’t run around. Let’s take a nap," the man ’kindly’ persuaded her, lifted Cai Wei without further ado, and strode towards the couch...

In the Capital’s June, the weather was already very hot. People were hiding inside their houses, under the shade of walls or trees, enjoying the cool air or drinking tea and chatting. There were few people on the Street, and occasionally, one or two passersby would hurry by as if afraid of being melted by the Sun!

In the Backyard of Agriculture Cloth Village, Fei’er was absently sitting at the Table, her days now often spent in daydreams. Huan Qiu stood silently to the side, with such a low presence it was as if she didn’t exist, which made Fei’er forget she was there, leading her to sigh, "Ah, I don’t want to think about it anymore...".

After speaking, she suddenly remembered Huan Qiu was still there, immediately felt a Guilty conscience, blushed, and hurriedly started to embroider a Fragrance pouch to avoid her gaze.

"Second Miss, Lady Huo is here!"

The Maid who made meals for the manor came in to report. Fei’er stood up quickly and said, "Where is she? Please invite her in quickly!"

"Ah, this weather is truly going to kill people..."

Aunt Bi entered while fanning herself and complaining as she walked in.
