Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1348: Chapter 1343: Another Spiritual Pearl

Earlier in the teahouse, Huo Sining had already noticed this Miss Yue, but due to the many people around, she couldn’t say much.

Back at Mincheng Meiyuan, Huo Sining heard the manager talking to this young lady, so she remembered her surname.

This Miss Yue had very fair skin, with features that seemed extremely delicate and exquisite, but for some unknown reason, there was always a distant and aloof aura about her that made her seem hard to approach.

“Please have some tea.”

A cup of tea was offered in front of her, accompanied by Miss Yue’s voice, gentle and melodious as always, like a calm orchid in a secluded valley, gentle as water, almost song-like.

Huo Sining was startled for a moment before regaining her senses, quickly standing up to accept the tea cup into her own hands.

Unexpectedly, as her hand brushed against Miss Yue’s wrist, Huo Sining’s gaze inadvertently caught sight of something strange happening at Miss Yue’s left wrist.

As the slightly raised sleeve revealed a bit of her whitened wrist, a vine suddenly grew, extending along Huo Sining’s fingers, seemingly wanting to climb all over her arm.

What is this?! Huo Sining was taken aback, her body shuddered as she instinctively let go of her hand.

The tea cup, caught unawares, fell from mid-air.

Miss Yue, however, reacted swiftly. Huo Sining only saw a flash before her eyes; the vine broke free from her fingers and wrapped around the tea cup, effortlessly snatching it back into Miss Yue’s alabaster-like tender hands in an instant.

This brief encounter lasted only a few seconds, yet Huo Sining stood there, seemingly dumbfounded, fixedly staring at Miss Yue’s forehead, her heart suddenly racing.

Because just in that brief moment, a soft green light appeared from Miss Yue’s forehead, and a smooth, emerald-green pearl appeared right before Huo Sining, spinning rapidly, emitting an aura that felt so familiar!

This is…

Another Spiritual Pearl!

“Be careful! Miss Huo, hold it steady this time!”

Miss Yue raised her head, her eyes flashing lightly as she looked at Huo Sining, a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth as she handed over the nearly-spilled tea cup again.

“Ningning? What’s wrong with you?”

Seeing Huo Sining standing there dazed, not taking the tea cup from Miss Yue’s hand, Su Qingqing by the side found it strange, thinking Huo Sining found the tea unpalatable, and couldn’t help but say, “This tea is very good, not worse than the afternoon tea we had at the Li Family Teahouse just now.”

Su Qingqing’s voice snapped Huo Sining back from her distraction, hurriedly shifting her gaze away from Miss Yue’s forehead, and finally accepting the tea cup from her hand.

The incident was too brief, and with Huo Sining’s body blocking the view, Su Qingqing and others nearby didn’t notice the change near Huo Sining.

Miss Yue’s expression remained gentle as always, but when retreating with the tray, her glance towards Huo Sining was unavoidable, her face revealing a touch of slyness and peculiarity.

Huo Sining felt a mess inside, absentmindedly lifting the teacup lid to skim the foam, her mind vaguely making a guess about the vine emerging from Miss Yue’s wrist.

Although the occurrence was sudden, she clearly saw that the vine, although sprouting from Miss Yue’s wrist, was actually invisible to others because the tendrils were made from condensed Spiritual Energy, much like how she used the Spirit of Azure Pearl to heal and attract fish.

However, because of this, Huo Sining was even more certain that this Miss Yue was of the same kind as her, and from the vine structure on her wrist, the color of the Azure Pearl on her forehead, combined with the attributes of the spiritual pearls of Yan Feng, Su Lan, and Qibao, Huo Sining could probably deduce.

This Miss Yue likely possessed the Wood Spirit Pearl attribute!

Huo Sining instinctively glanced toward Qibao, who was curiously examining the surroundings. Their eyes met, leading to a confused expression from the little one.

Huo Sining opened her mouth but quickly closed it, instead extending her hand to pull Qibao into her embrace, spreading open the little one’s palm and began drawing letter by letter.

Once Huo Sining finished, Qibao’s expression changed abruptly, instinctively glancing towards Miss Yue.

However, at that moment, the warehouse door suddenly opened, and Li Jun emerged carrying a piece of rough stone.

Because of the stone gambling, the butler at the entrance of Li Family Manor, who originally ran the grinding wheel, quickly arranged for two stone cutting machines to be brought in.

After selecting his rough stone, Li Jun picked up a piece of chalk and began marking on it.

Within a few minutes, Sakai Ichiro also emerged.

With everyone watching, the two of them began focusing on the stone gambling process.

Huo Sining shifted her attention from Miss Yue to the two rough stones before her.

Both Li Jun and Sakai Ichiro had chosen rough stones from old mining sites.

Li Jun’s rough stone was Old Pagang Black Wusha, and the entire piece, weighing less than ten kilograms, resembled a large lump of coal.

The rough stone’s surface had reticulated veins extending from the center to both ends, and intense skin-like patterns adorned the finish.

The impressive appearance of this rough stone didn’t just captivate Li Jun; even Huo Sining felt somewhat surprised.

Although not an expert, Huo Sining had been navigating the stone gambling industry for over two years, accumulating some knowledge.

Presently, all Old Pagang Black Wusha in Myanmar had been fully excavated, and most seen on the market now originated from Mamun.

Not only was Li Jun’s rough stone sourced from Old Pagang, but with such stunning performance, if placed at the Jade Public Plate in Yangon or Huaxia Country, it would undoubtedly be a highly sought-after item.

As for the rough stone in Sakai Ichiro’s hands, Huo Sining merely glanced a few times before averting her gaze.

The oval-shaped rough stone was a bit larger than a football, and by the looks of it, it might have originated from the Lao Houjiang site.

This rough stone indeed displayed reticulated veins and skin-like patterns, coarse black sand on the surface, appearing as a fine piece.

Yet, those who have spent considerable time in the stone gambling circle know that having reticulated veins and skin-like patterns doesn’t guarantee a successful cut indeed. In fact, sometimes rough stones without skin-like patterns are more reliable than those that possess them.

The reason being that the variety of skin-like patterns is vast and unpredictable; without experience, it’s impossible to determine the type of skin pattern.
