Chapter 185: Jewelry (2/2)

The streets of the Demon Race capital had a unique style, exuding a confusing beauty. If it were in humanity’s city, a cat might be squatting at the shop entrance, and a bird might be hanging nearby. Ning Wuxie definitely knew those were the owner’s pets, but here, he couldn’t be so sure.

Perhaps this was the owner’s pet.

Ning Wuxie and Xuan’er arrived at a relatively clean and elegant jewelry store, with a sign that read “Baoyu Pavilion,” and next to it were the words “Buy Spirit Stones.”

This name was considered quite elegant, as other jewelry stores typically had names like “Selling Gold” or “Selling Silver,” and some didn’t even have a sign at all.

Ning Wuxie and Xuan’er entered, but there was no attendant to greet them. Only a fat tortoise was lying on a soft mat at the counter, snoring.

Ning Wuxie approached and called out, “Boss?”

The tortoise stopped snoring and opened one eye.

“Human?”

“Not open for business today. Come back another day.”

After saying that, it buried its head again and ignored Ning Wuxie.

Ning Wuxie remained silent and took out one million spirit tickets from the storage ring.

“One million, show me the most exquisite and expensive jewelry in your store!”

The tortoise raised its head, saw the one million spirit tickets, and was instantly frightened, retreating and flipping onto its back.

It struggled for a moment with its limbs, then gave up, its form transforming into a hunched old man.

“Distinguished guests, welcome!”

“Please wait a moment, the old man will fetch the store’s prized items for you!”

The tortoise-turned-old man, hunched over, quickly ran into the back of the store, and soon the sound of rummaging through boxes echoed.

The jewelry stores in Canglong City were indeed quite messy, and Ning Wuxie silently complained, feeling a bit confused.

He didn’t know what quality of items would be brought out, but he certainly wouldn’t let Xuan’er wear any ordinary jewelry.

After a while, the old man returned, holding several stacked boxes and placing them heavily on the counter.

The boss took a few heavy breaths, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and revealed a flattering smile to Ning Wuxie. “Distinguished guests, please take a look at the treasures hidden in my little shop.”

“These are top-grade materials that this old man has dug up over hundreds of years, and the masters who carved these materials were once lined up outside the door.”

The boss patted his chest, speaking with pride.

He was of the Demon Race, originally a tortoise, and had specialized in digging for jade materials in the rocks, so it was indeed a fitting profession…

The boss laid the boxes out horizontally, then returned to the store entrance, closed the wooden door, and shut the windows, causing the room to darken momentarily.

He approached the counter, rubbed his hands together, appearing quite excited.

“These things, generally, I wouldn’t even let ordinary people see them…”

He glanced at Ning Wuxie, and the look in his eyes was indifferent, lacking any surprise or expectation.

Ning Wuxie had seen many rare treasures in his past life. In the Human Sect’s hall, there was a treasure vault filled with gifts sent by various countries and great sects.

The tortoise-turned-old man’s expression showed some anticipation as he looked at the incredibly beautiful young lady beside Ning Wuxie.

The young lady’s expression was one of eagerness, fully intrigued by his words, as she lightly stood on her toes, wanting to see the items in the boxes.

“Hehehe, both of you, please look!”

He pushed the box lid open.

Instantly, the cluttered little hall brightened, enveloped in a shimmering layer of water-like light. A cool, light blue hue filled the space, and countless shimmering white light spots danced around, creating an illusion of mist in the air.
