Chapter 303 The Lock of Immortality and the Dagger
After receiving the gifts for Duan Ling'er and Yun Sheng, Ye Qingchen turned with a smile and walked towards where the children's gifts were kept. These two children were such adorable twins! Thinking of their innocent and pure smiles filled Ye Qingchen's heart with warmth.
Before this, the skillful Ye Qingchen had meticulously embroidered some exquisite fabrics. Then, she gave these fabrics to the two clever girls, Bai Zhi and Fu Ling, asking them to make beautiful clothes suitable for children according to her designs. There were brocades of all colors, embroidered with all sorts of patterns.
When Ye Qingchen displayed the finished clothes, everyone's eyes lit up. The clothes were not only well-tailored, but also had fine stitches and vibrant yet soft colors; they were simply works of art.
Of course, besides the beautiful clothes, Ye Qingchen also prepared tiger-head hats and exquisite shoes for the two little ones. The tiger-head hats were so lifelike that it seemed as if a majestic tiger was truly protecting the children; while the shoes were delicate and unique, with every detail showing Ye Qingchen's deep love for the children.
However, the most eye-catching item was undoubtedly the pair of gold necklaces that Ye Qingchen had meticulously crafted for the two children! These gold necklaces were truly masterpieces of craftsmanship, their exquisite workmanship reaching a level of perfection. The surface of the necklaces was woven from countless incredibly fine gold threads, as thin as hair. These threads intertwined and intertwined, cleverly shaping each into a small, delicate, and exceptionally exquisite cage, as if the skilled artisans had cast a spell.
Upon closer inspection, the sight was even more astonishing—inside each cage lay a piece of warm, smooth, and translucent jade! The jade was of exceptional quality, warm to the touch, as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade. A closer look revealed its secret: each of the two jade pieces was engraved with eight large, vigorous characters, written in a bold and powerful style. One piece bore the four characters "Great Wealth and High Rank," the characters bold and powerful, flowing like dragons and snakes; the other piece bore the four characters "Long Life and a Hundred Years," the characters strong and upright, their force penetrating the paper.
These words, brimming with heartfelt blessings, undoubtedly convey Ye Qingchen's most sincere, profound, and earnest hopes and wishes for these adorable twins. He hopes the children will live a life free from want, enjoying wealth and prosperity, and also that they will have good health, longevity, peace, and happiness, experiencing all the beautiful things in the world. Such deep affection is contained within this small gold necklace, truly touching the heart.
Ye Qingchen did not tell anyone about this. It turned out that the white deer inside actually stored extremely powerful divine power! This divine power had miraculous effects and could effectively protect the two children from the harm and disturbance of evil spirits.
Inside the exquisite wooden box containing the longevity lock necklaces, Ye Qingchen had also ingeniously placed a small bottle of incredibly precious spatial spring water in each of them. This spatial spring water was carefully contained in tiny, delicate porcelain bottles. Ye Qingchen solemnly said to his parents, sister, and brother-in-law, "Father, Mother, Sister, Brother-in-law, you must remember this! This isn't ordinary medicine; it's practically a panacea! In the event of a life-or-death emergency, simply have the children drink this water, and it will greatly alleviate the danger. That's why I specially placed it in the children's longevity lock boxes."
Hearing this, Duan Ling'er nodded eagerly, her face beaming with joy. Then, she gently carried the two adorable little ones out of the house again and happily placed the exquisite longevity lock necklaces on their necks. The instant the necklaces were on the children, a wondrous light seemed to emanate from them, dazzling everyone who saw them. At that moment, the two children appeared to have suddenly radiated an even more dazzling brilliance, looking exceptionally energetic and radiant.
After receiving the children's gifts, she slightly turned her head and, out of the corner of her eye, caught a fleeting but undeniable glimpse of disappointment on her father's face. However, she didn't let that disappointment linger for long. Instead, she quickly flashed a radiant smile and said softly, "Father, don't worry, of course I haven't forgotten you and brother-in-law! Look, I've prepared special gifts for you as well." Before she finished speaking, Ye Qingchen gracefully reached out and, as if by magic, pulled two gleaming daggers from her bosom.
The sheaths of these two daggers were crafted from some mysterious metal, their surfaces gleaming with an unusual luster. In reality, they were made of aluminum alloy, a common material in modern times, but for people living in ancient times, aluminum was a completely new and unfamiliar material. The sheaths were inlaid with a dazzling array of gemstones, which, like scattered stars, shimmered with a captivating brilliance, leaving one mesmerized.
The dagger itself was meticulously crafted from tungsten steel, an indestructible material harder than metal or stone. Tungsten steel possesses unimaginable hardness and astonishing toughness, which is why this dagger is so incredibly sharp, its edge unstoppable. Even the toughest steel can be easily cut through, truly achieving the legendary feat of "cutting iron like mud"! Considering the vastly different manufacturing techniques of ancient times, the fact that such a miraculously crafted dagger could exist is truly astonishing. Such a rare item is undoubtedly a priceless treasure, its value immeasurable, comparable to a priceless gem.
Duan Yuanshan and Dong Nanxi, their faces beaming with joy, eagerly reached out to receive their respective daggers. They carefully cradled them in their palms, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world, and then examined them intently. While the gift was indeed extremely valuable, what mattered more to them was the deep affection it contained, stemming from familial love. At that moment, they felt as if they had been transported back to their innocent childhood, their joy overflowing, their excitement as if they had received a long-awaited, beloved toy. Their fingers unconsciously caressed the daggers, trying to feel their unique texture and warmth, as if trying to explore the boundless care and love behind the dagger through the touch.
