Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1066: Unexpected Gains Chapter 1068: Chapter 1066: Unexpected Gains Fu Qian thought it was quite a clever act to leave some demigod blood on Tan Ying’s bracelet, but he hadn’t expected to actually discover anything.

Anyway, he had repeatedly confirmed that although the bracelet had become extraordinary, it would not adversely affect the wearer’s health.

Tan Ying currently looked energetic, a clear proof that this bracelet was nothing like the previous one that drained people’s energy.

The issue was that although he knew Tan Ying and Pei Yanqing were close friends, such a beloved object wouldn’t be easily given away, which made him feel there was something odd.

Even though today’s theme was a holiday gathering with friends, Fu Qian didn’t mind indulging his curiosity.

“It was Xiao Ying who insisted that I wear it.”

Feeling scrutinized, Pei Yanqing felt somewhat embarrassed, reflexively withdrew her hand, and answered on behalf of Tan Ying.

“She said it would help me calm my mind because I seemed to be in low spirits.”

Is that so?

As a maker of extraordinary items, this statement made Fu Qian pause in surprise.

“I should return it to you; I can’t afford to break it.”

At this moment, Pei Yanqing was carefully trying to remove the bracelet, but Tan Ying held her back.

“Just keep wearing it for now. Besides, who said you can’t afford it?”

At the same time, Tan Ying pinched her cheek playfully, causing a round of screams.

“But it’s not just nonsense.”

After the laughter subsided, Tan Ying’s expression became serious as she spoke to Fu Qian.

“Ever since your last suggestion about nurturing jade, although it sounded like a placebo, I truly feel more relaxed when I wear it.”

“So, when I saw that Xiao Qing seemed a bit haggard, I lent it to her for a few days.”

After explaining the reason, Tan Ying sighed.

“I didn’t believe in these clichés before, but now, some of them seem to make sense.”

Girl, you’d better keep believing in science.

Fu Qian also sighed internally.

The explanation was simple and seemed normal, especially since Tan and Pei were so close they even exchanged clothes; sharing jewelry wasn’t odd.

After all, it was smeared with demigod blood, and having a slight revitalizing effect wasn’t strange, but it was too insignificant for him to care.

But some things feared a bidirectional consideration.

The bracelet had absorbed his blood, and now Pei Yanqing, who wore it, was somewhat different from others—she had been under the influence of his Decree Residue for a long time.

However, nothing unusual was observed afterward, including during her confrontation with Yasui Shi at Valudo; unlike Young Master Qin and others, she hadn’t suffered any twisted will, so he figured the impact was negligible.

But what about in the extraordinary domain?

There was no doubt that Pei Yanqing was a normal human, but could there be a unique trace that made her distinct concerning extraordinary items?

Or rather, distinct concerning extraordinary items originating from him?

If that were the case, it reminded him of the law of aggregation.

Like in that world, the Divine Trait had a mysterious cause and effect with him, could there be a similar connection among extraordinary items here?

That might explain why he had encountered several extraordinary items in just a few months.

It wasn’t that similar items were plentiful; it’s just they tended to appear before him?

Like Tan Ying’s slightly unusual act of insisting that Pei Yanqing wear the bracelet.

…

He hadn’t expected that a casual test could lead to a somewhat meaningful result.

Could this be the case with Lady Cecilia?

Because items like the Bronze Lady tended to appear before him, was that why there was such a collector and series of interactions with him?

Could it be a bit far-fetched?

It also seemed hard to explain Lady Cecilia’s current mental predicament.

It’s premature to draw a conclusion now; better wait until the Bronze Lady arrives.

“The complexion does look improved.”

After analyzing, Fu Qian observed Tan Ying and nodded seriously.

“But mostly, it’s still your invincible youth; every time I see you guys, it reminds me of my tender years in school.”

Tender my foot, you’re about our age now, aren’t you?

Up until now, Fu Qian hadn’t been as perfunctory as Young Master Qin and the others, and Tan Ying had a sense of camaraderie, but she couldn’t help reacting to the latter part.

“As you can see, you’re indeed aging terribly mentally.”

The next moment she scoffed and mocked directly.

“It can’t be helped being an expert consultant is exhausting.”

…

Some things really shouldn’t be mentioned carelessly.

Just as Tan Ying was pondering how to retort, Fu Qian frowned and pulled out his phone.

A message had come in.

[Still the usual place?]

Hm?

A strange number, yet not so strange, as he had just seen it on a business card yesterday.

Isn’t this a bit too fast?

It wasn’t strange for Lady Cecilia to get his number since he hadn’t made any special effort to hide it.

From confirming the compensation yesterday to now, it had only been twenty hours… She had mentioned “before the day after tomorrow.”

[Okay, but I’ll need a bit before I can get there]

Fu Qian replied quickly and informally.

[No problem, I can wait]

Me?

Not only is the compensation up for negotiation, but even the employer is delivering it personally?

Realizing the implication behind that sentence, Fu Qian felt profoundly moved in the moment.

Model capitalists, do they really only exist in the world of actors?

Fu Qian immediately called back to show respect.

“Mr. Consultant.”

It was almost instantly picked.TABLE OF CONTENTHe,elenada CambasaambaCambasaad

“Thank you for your efforts.”

“It’s what I should do, especially since it’s one of my most valuable collections.”

“Haven’t had dinner yet? Can I recommend a good place?”

…

“Friend?”

After hanging up, because of this operation, Fu Qian was already under the attention of the four people present, and Young Master Qin couldn’t help but inquire.

He was quite familiar with Fu Qian, and he knew this kind of dinner meeting was not something he’d casually bring someone to.

So, outside of those present, what other friends do you have?

“Crazy beautiful lady.”

Fu Qian shook his head and replied succinctly.

“Sister Cecilia?”

Tan Ying immediately realized what Fu Qian meant and was instantly surprised.

“She didn’t go back?”

“She went back and then came back to pay me.”

Fu Qian shook his head again.

“You all seem very interested in her, so I’ll invite her to come over; should be okay, right?”

This consultant’s attitude is a bit too high and mighty…

The group listened as if hearing a fantasy, their faces showing bizarre expressions.
