Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1102: Chapter 1098: Turning Stone into Jade

The Taotie that was caught by Qibao, after being smashed against the stone pillar by the little guy, emitted a crisp crack and shattered right before Huo Sining’s eyes.

However, the pieces on the ground were just a layer of black shell because, for some reason unknown, the Taotie had become a hollow object. With Qibao’s heavy blow, the hard black shell outside had shattered completely.

At that moment, Huo Sining saw a flash of green light. After all the black fragments fell, there was still something left in Qibao’s hand, something vibrant green and lustrous—the very thing she had previously seen at the center shrouded by the yellow Spiritual Energy!

Then, that little rascal Qibao held the thing out proudly to Huo Sining as if presenting a treasure, ”Sister, isn’t this Yangyang pretty?”

The little one’s palm was less than half the size of Huo Sining’s, but at this moment, a miniature Taotie sculpture lay in his palm. It was only two or three centimeters big, even smaller than the Eastern Pearls Huo Sining had, but its color and luster were comparable to high-quality glass type jade. The Taotie’s lines and patterns were distinct, its expression and posture still exquisite and lively, sparkling with a watery sheen in the sunlight.

Huo Sining stared wide-eyed in surprise, more shocked than if she had seen a ghost.

If she still didn’t understand what had happened by now, then she was truly a fool.

Qibao had just used the Spiritual Energy from the Rock Spirit Pearl to purify the Taotie sculpture, expelling the impurities, condensing them into a black chunky waste shell on the outermost layer, leaving behind this essence of the Oily Green Species, extracted into a tiny Taotie one-tenth the original size!

This was just like how she used the Spirit of Azure Pearl to refine plants and animals, purifying their species into authentic purebloods.

Qibao’s actions just now were quite similar to hers, both extracting the essence and discarding the dross. However, despite the similarity, Huo Sining’s heart was still overwhelmed with shock as she looked at the small jade carving in Qibao’s hand.

Jade can be divided into soft jade and hard jade, where soft jade is Hetian jade, and hard jade is jadeite, which is harder than soft jade. But surprisingly, Qibao could turn this Oily Green Species into a lush and dripping high-quality jadeite.

Huo Sining stared dumbly at the petite Taotie carving, unable to speak for a long time.

Being able to transform low-grade jadeite into high-grade jade is simply miraculous. After Qibao’s extraction, the Taotie’s luster and color were akin to high ice jade type. This method could only be described as turning stones into jewels!

Feeling the rich Spiritual Energy contained within this small object, words failed to express her shock, and her mind was racing with all kinds of possibilities.

Just as she was in a daze, Su Qingqing came along, having picked out her items. Seeing Huo Sining and Qibao standing in the corner, not looking like they were browsing antique objects, she felt puzzled and hurriedly walked over to pat Huo Sining’s shoulder, asking, ”What are you two up to?”

Saying this, Su Qingqing lowered her head to look at Qibao. With one glance, she spotted the Taotie jade carving in Qibao’s hand, and her eyes instantly lit up, ”Ah, what a beautiful jade carving! Qibao, can I take a look at it?”

Qibao glanced at Huo Sining, and seeing that she didn’t object, he nodded and handed the object to Su Qingqing. However, his gaze was fixed tightly on Su Qingqing, following her hands as if afraid she would steal his treasure.

Su Qingqing initially thought it was just a common jade carving, but once she held the jadeite in her hand, she noticed something was amiss, ”Oh my, is this high ice type?!”

Huo Sining glanced at Su Qingqing, not speaking, but the look in her eyes was clear—’Isn’t that obvious?’

Su Qingqing was momentarily speechless, and after closely examining the jade carving in her hand again, she really liked the Taotie jade carving. Unable to resist, she asked, ”Did you really give this to Qibao? Damn you squanderer, Qibao is so young, what does he know about jadeite? Isn’t it a waste to give him such a good thing?”

Huo Sining rolled her eyes at Su Qingqing, ”Don’t beat around the bush, aren’t you just eyeing this thing? I didn’t give it to him, he made it himself. If you want it, just negotiate with him. If he agrees, take it. I have no objections.”

Upon hearing this, Su Qingqing immediately brightened up. She crouched down, looking at Qibao with a flattering expression.

This guy was always thick-skinned. She knew Huo Sining had plenty of high-quality jadeite, so gifting a small item to Qibao wasn’t out of the question. As for Huo Sining’s words ”he made it himself,” Su Qingqing didn’t take it to heart, thinking they were just excuses.

”Qibao, Sister Su really likes this jade carving. Can you gift it to me? Sister will buy you candy, how does that sound?” Su Qingqing began a coquettish candy-bribe tactic while holding the jade carving.

Unfortunately, this trick didn’t work on Qibao at all. The little one kept his gaze fixed on his possession, and when he saw Su Qingqing crouch down, he quickly grabbed his jade carving to his chest, pulling a face of disdain at Su Qingqing, ”This is my Yangyang, I can’t give it to you. Qibao has candy to eat, Sister buys a lot of candy, no need for you to buy.”

With that, the little guy hurried over to Huo Sining, burying himself tightly against her legs, hiding his face, and clutching the Taotie as if afraid Su Qingqing might snatch it away.

Su Qingqing’s expression froze, looking a bit frustrated as she glanced at Huo Sining, wanting to ask how she taught her child to be so stingy at a young age. How would he woo girls when he grows up?

Nevertheless, her expression amused Huo Sining, who couldn’t help but laugh seeing Su Qingqing get rebutted by Qibao, breaking into a giggle:

”Alright, alright, an adult competing with a child for things, aren’t you ashamed? If you want it, come to my place later. I don’t have Taotie carvings, but there are a few other little sculptures you can choose from. Forget about getting Qibao’s.”

”That’s more like it!” Su Qingqing smiled when she heard this, turned around, and made a funny face at Qibao, ”Qibao, you little miser!”

Qibao completely ignored her, happily playing with the Taotie in his hand, trailing behind Huo Sining step by step, much to Su Qingqing’s exasperation.
