Chapter 211 Exchange with what you cherish
Zhai Rongyu glanced at Jun Ce's large hand, which was now firmly holding hers.
She then realized that perhaps it was the power of the dragon within the water-repelling pearl, coupled with his deliberate connection with her, that allowed her to hear Long Qianxue's words.
Zhai Rongyu's lips involuntarily curved into a smile.
My son, Xu, is very well-behaved.
Jun Ce glanced at her with a hint of helplessness, but his eyes were full of doting affection.
He reached out and straightened the hairpin in her hair.
Zhai Rongyu felt slightly relieved after hearing Long Qianxue's assurance that Jun Ce's dragon clan identity would not be exposed.
Since this person is a member of the dragon clan and has no intention of harming Ah Xu, we might as well stay and listen to what she has to say.
[Perhaps we can learn something about the dragon race.]
Knowing yourself and your enemy is better than passively waiting.
She and Jun Ce exchanged a glance, then leaned together in perfect unison, turning to look at the jewelry at the nearest stall. In reality, they were both listening intently to what Long Qianxue was saying.
Long Qianxue looked at Jun Ce's profile and, seeing that he still did not answer, pondered to herself.
If this person is truly a descendant of Aunt Luo, they would avoid the Dragon Clan like the plague and would certainly not easily reveal their identity.
She spoke rashly, and the man probably didn't trust her yet, which is why he didn't reply.
If the power and benefits of the Dragon Palace were presented to him, perhaps he would consider returning with me!
Thinking of this, Long Qianxue used the Dragon Breath Secret Technique to send a telepathic message to Jun Ce.
"If you are truly a descendant of Aunt Luo, then you are the purest bloodline heir in the Dragon Palace!"
"The only true descendant of the dragon!"
"Now, the dragon's son, Long Zhuochi, is quite trusted by the Dragon King. Since the Dragon King is in poor health, he has been entrusted with managing the affairs of the Dragon Palace. If you come back with me, you can bring him down in an instant!"
"Don't worry! I will help you seize the throne of the Dragon King."
"At that time, you will be able to command the wind and rain, and all the wealth and power in the world will be yours!"
Zhai Rongyu glanced at Jun Ce.
He lowered his head slightly, the stray hairs on his forehead casting a shadow over his eyes, his expression inscrutable.
【Ah Xu Ta…】
Would you want to go back?
Dragons are a race that can look down on the world, let alone become a dragon king.
It is almost equivalent to becoming the supreme ruler of heaven and earth.
Such immense power and temptation are hard for anyone to resist.
but……
Zhai Rongyu pretended to select jewelry, glancing at Long Qianxue out of the corner of her eye.
This person is so insistent on Ah Xu returning; he must have his own motives.
I wonder what she's up to.
Jun Ce picked up a pair of bamboo leaf earrings from the stall, bent down to approach Zhai Rongyu, gently pinched her earlobes, and helped her put them on.
The scent of pine resin was lingering, bitter, and slightly astringent, but his voice was gentle and warm, "Rong'er, do you like it?"
He lowered his eyes and stared at the girl in front of him.
Those who have already seen the sunrise, why would they care about a ray of light?
He already possesses power and wealth.
But none of them can compare to the person in front of me.
Zhai Rongyu took the bronze mirror handed to her by the stall owner, turned her head left and right, and the small bamboo leaves on her fair ears looked quite beautiful.
She nodded, and suddenly felt calm.
"The wind rustles through the bamboo grove, where does the noise come from?" Jun Ce gazed intently at Zhai Rongyu, his deep, mellow voice echoing in the night.
"The fleeting pleasures of the world cannot compare to Rong'er's gentle nod."
It was unclear whether he was commenting on the earrings or responding to Long Qianxue.
Zhai Rongyu understood the meaning behind his words, and a blush gradually spread across her face.
Long Qianxue's expression changed instantly.
Her gaze fell on Zhai Rongyu, and a flash of jealousy crossed her eyes.
As her gaze fell, she inadvertently noticed the jade pendant hanging from Jun Ce's waist, and lowered her head thoughtfully.
The stall owner was an old man with downcast eyebrows. He stroked his beard with a smile and said to Zhai Rongyu, "Young lady, these bamboo leaf earrings of mine are no ordinary items. Wearing them brings peace of mind and is most suitable for a cultivator like you."
Zhai Rongyu was surprised.
The slight worry I had just felt has indeed completely dissipated.
"How much?" Jun Ce turned to look at the old man.
The old man squinted, his smile kind: "I don't charge for this stall, but you'll have to exchange it for something you cherish."
"Something you cherish?" Zhai Rongyu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Doesn't that still cost money?"
The old man with downcast eyebrows: ...
Well, we've run into a brick wall.
The old man glanced at Zhai Rongyu speechlessly, then gave a constipated look before resolutely turning to look at Jun Ce.
"Alright then, this old man wants your dream from last night."
"A dream?" Zhai Rongyu raised his head and looked at Jun Ce with some confusion, only to see a faint red blush creeping up behind his ear.
She opened her almond-shaped eyes, her gaze filled with clear, unwavering confusion.
"Ah Xu, what did you dream about last night?"
"It's nothing." Jun Ce coughed lightly, looking away somewhat guiltily. "I won't exchange this one."
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Zhai Rongyu was still staring at him. He reached out and pressed her head down, turning her head toward the old man with drooping eyebrows.
"I can give you something else."
The old man, however, did not give up. He stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I only want your feelings, I have no penchant for prying into other people's privacy."
He took out some precious bottles and laid them out in front of the two of them, saying, "These are all emotions that I have collected."
Zhai Rongyu looked at the bottles with some curiosity.
The transparent bottle was filled with colorful clouds.
The old man with downcast eyebrows pointed to one of the red bottles and said, "This is anger."
Zhai Rongyu looked over.
The red smoke gathered together imposingly, crowding together and looking fierce, almost sparking.
The old man with downcast eyebrows pointed to a blue bottle and said, "This is sadness."
Zhai Rongyu curiously leaned forward again.
Sure enough, the clouds and mist inside were scattered and looked very weak, as if it was about to rain at any moment.
Seeing Zhai Rongyu's bright eyes and his head tilted as he curiously stared at the bottles, the old man with downcast eyebrows smiled and said a few more words to them.
"To be honest, I was originally a fruit tree, but during a tribulation by heavenly lightning, my five senses were struck off. Although my cultivation increased and I can know everything, I can no longer bear fruit."
"That's why I set up a stall here to collect all kinds of emotions."
"So that one day, it can bear fruit again."
He turned to Jun Ce, "Your dream last night contained the kind of emotion that I have not yet been able to collect."
Zhai Rongyu immediately became interested.
"Ah Xu, what did you dream about last night?"
[So many emotions, yet none of them are the same as his!]
Jun Ce felt a lump in his throat and just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so he nodded to the old man with his chin: "Take it."
The old man with downcast eyebrows smiled and took out an empty bottle. Then he gently touched Jun Ce's head with a twig. A cloud of mist floated out from Jun Ce's head and, following the twig's guidance, wobbled into the bottle.
The old man with drooping eyebrows plugged the bottle, "All done!"
Zhai Rong leaned forward, peered at the bottle from the stall, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah Xu, your dream is pink!"
