Chapter 121 Night Pearl

Bai Tao looked calm and said, "Bai Qi, how many hits did you take just now?"

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted: "Auntie, I got hit eight times."

She didn't know how many times she was hit, but it was definitely a few.

My aunt likes the number eight, saying it is auspicious, so let’s go with eight.

After saying that, Baiqi became a little worried again. Eight moves seemed a bit too many. Would the aunt think she was useless?
Bai Tao glanced at Jasmine after hearing this and said, "Did you hear that?"

It seemed that Jasmine was seriously injured by the dagger, but Bai Tao was not a fool, so she could see that Jasmine was very smart and avoided the vital points, so she only bleeds a little.

The person who beat her up wants to let her off lightly?

no way!

Hearing Bai Qi's words, anger flashed in Jasmine's eyes, but looking at that cold-blooded, arrogant and domineering little man, she could only bear the pain and stab herself five more times.

Even her princess didn't take him seriously, let alone a slave like her.

If I can't satisfy this person, I'm afraid I'll lose my life.

Jasmine knew it in her heart, so she stabbed herself without hesitation.

Even if you avoid the vital parts, a few stabs like this will still be enough to cause harm.

Jasmine threw away the dagger, bowed her head and knocked it hard, and said in a hoarse voice: "Please spare my life, young nobleman."

Bai Tao then snorted and said, "Go away."

Princess Deyang gritted her teeth, nodded, and then turned around and got on the carriage.

Although Jasmine stopped the bleeding with a handkerchief, she did not dare to get close to the carriage and just followed closely outside the carriage.

Seeing this, the onlookers also dispersed in twos and threes.

This is a man who even the daughter of a prince can only be defeated when facing him. He acts recklessly and unscrupulously. They should not continue to watch the fun, lest they get into trouble without knowing it.

"Auntie~"

Bai Tao then looked at Bai Qi, angrily saying, "Didn't I tell you before that if you can't win, just run away."

"Yes, auntie." Bai Qi responded, and then explained hesitantly: "Auntie, I did run, but I was stopped and didn't run away."

Bai Tao's mouth twitched, and then she said, "You must have not practiced enough. From now on, practice an extra hour every day."

"Yes, auntie." Bai Qi nodded obediently.

In fact, even if Bai Tao didn't say it, Bai Qi also planned this.

If she had been more diligent, this wouldn't have happened today.

Knowing that Bai Qi was not seriously injured, Bai Tao continued to stroll with the two of them.

'Mall, help me see if anyone is following me.'

Bai Tao has watched TV dramas, and in this situation, someone must be following her.

Mall: 'No such obligation.'

Bai Tao rolled her eyes and simply said, "Fifty coins an hour, do you want to do it?"

"Five hundred." The merchants are now very skilled at bargaining.

"Just fifty or so, and I still have a shield."

Mall: 'One hundred coins.'

Bai Tao: 'Deal.'

After Bai Tao readily agreed, the mall paused for a moment, and after a few breaths, it began to remind: "...There are two groups of people following, one in front of the left, and one in the back."

Bai Tao hummed. Sure enough, she guessed right. There was a teahouse in front of her. Bai Xiaocao saw that Bai Tao was a little absent-minded and thought she was tired, so she said, "Auntie, do you want to go back to the teahouse to rest?"

If I hadn't rushed to save Baiqi just now, I would definitely be resting and drinking tea now.

Bai Tao glanced at the figure not far behind her who was pretending to look at something on the stall and nodded: "Yeah."

The previous tea had already gone cold, so the waiter quickly replaced it with a pot of hot tea. Bai Tao ordered a few snacks, and then he went downstairs.

"Auntie, please have some tea." Bai Xiaocao obediently held the pot and poured tea.

At this time, the people who had been following behind made up their minds and mustered up the courage to step forward.

"Little nobleman."

"Excuse me, my dear little nobleman."

"My surname is Huang and I run several shops. I was fortunate to meet you in the teahouse and would like to pay my respects to you." Huang Fuqing bowed slightly with a respectful and warm smile on his face.

When Bai Tao was dealing with Princess Deyang, she did not reveal her identity at all. Bai Qi and Bai Xiaocao only called her "auntie".

This makes his identity even more mysterious.

This is also the reason why Princess Deyang is willing to suffer a loss and give in. After all, who would dare to believe that Bai Tao, who has no background, can be so arrogant.

Bai Tao looked at the person who came and said nothing, just casually tapping the tea bowl with her hand.

Bai Xiaocao and Bai Qi looked at each other, then stood on the left and right behind Bai Tao, looking cautious.

Since Huang Fuqing had arrived, he had naturally made sufficient preparations. He stretched out his hand behind him, and his assistant quickly handed him the box in his arms.

"This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you will not despise me."

Huang Fuqing said as he carefully opened the box. He did not dare to go forward without permission, for fear of being treated as an assassin by the secret guards in the dark. He just tilted the contents of the box slightly towards Bai Tao.

Bai Tao took a glance and saw something light blue.

At this time, the mall prompt sounded: "Beep, a night-shining pearl was scanned, medium quality, light blue color, selling price 3.56 million coins."

'Beep, Night Soul Stone detected, selling price 6,180,000 coins.'

"Beep, a top-grade red sandalwood brocade box, priced at 5.2 million coins."

The reminder sound from the mall made Bai Tao stunned for a moment. She looked up at Huang Fuqing and said with a look that showed that he was quite polite: "Sit down."

Huang Fuqing had been feeling nervous ever since he came up to him, but when he heard these two simple words, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Thank you, young lady." He took small steps forward and first placed the brocade box in front of Bai Tao. Then he sat down a little stiffly, daring to sit only halfway.

"What do you mean?" Bai Tao was only five years old, and her voice was very babyish, but Huang Fuqing didn't dare to be disrespectful.

He quickly explained, "This is a pearl that I was lucky enough to obtain by chance. It is also fate that I met you today, so I wanted to give it to you, hoping to make you happy."

After hearing this, Bai Tao slowly picked up the night pearl that was placed neatly in the brocade box, touched it twice, and then threw it into the corner of the box.

The mall also began to popularize science responsibly:

Night-shining pearl is a rare gemstone, usually referring to fluorescent stone or luminous stone, which comes in various colors including yellow-green, light blue, orange-red, etc.

Because the luminescence of night-shining pearls is weak during the day and strong at night, this property made them regarded as precious gems in ancient times, often used for lighting and as a symbol of power and status...

Bai Tao quickly lifted the brocade cloth that was used to pad the night pearl in the box, and took out the Yepo Stone that served as the foundation of the night pearl and played with it in her hand.

The Night Soul Stone, which is more expensive than the Night Pearl, is used as the cornerstone to place the Night Pearl under. The high-quality red sandalwood, which is even more expensive than the Night Pearl, is used to make a brocade box to hold the Night Pearl.

Is this a case similar to buying the casket and returning the pearl?
Bai Tao couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this.

Her smile made Huang Fuqing feel slightly relieved.
