Chapter 2453: Think of It as a Gift for Your Child
“This is a pearl of great value. I’m giving this to you. Consider it as your reward.” The woman’s eyes fixed on the pearl before finally moving away.
The woman appeared to like the pearl very much, so why give it to Ning Shu?
Ning Shu looked at the pearl in her hand and returned it to the woman. “No need, I haven’t done anything. You don’t need to reward me.”
“Accept it, think of it as…” The woman saw Zhenzhen on Ning Shu’s back. “Think of it as a gift for your child.”
She was giving such a precious gift to a complete stranger? The pearl was of excellent quality. Even tributes probably couldn’t match up to its quality.
How many pearl divers would dive into the water again and again for such a perfect pearl?
They would have to dive over and over just for a pearl of good quality.
Ning Shu would never believe that the world would just drop a meaty pie for her. “I don’t take rewards that I haven’t earned. I don’t want it.”
Ning Shu returned the pearl to the woman and left.
The woman was astonished.
The village head carried in a bowl of porridge with some wild vegetables mixed in. The woman didn’t hesitate to take the bowl. She gave the pearl to the village head, saying it was a reward.
The village head had never seen such a round and large pearl before. He wiped his hands on his clothes, thanked her repeatedly, and put the pearl away.
One would be rich if they had such a pearl.
Ning Shu left the village head’s house and said to Zhenzhen, who was on her back, “There is no such thing as a truly peaceful and auspicious place in this world.”
A man known as the god of war had appeared in such a remote place.
For the god of war to end up like that, wasn’t his title really an undeserved reputation?
What a pity for the large snake.
Maybe she wouldn’t have died if Ning Shu hadn’t told her to leave. At that time, Ning Shu had since the snake could transform into a flood dragon, there was no way she would die so easily.
The result immediately slapped Ning Shu in the face.
Ning Shu contemplated finding another place to live.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the snake’s gallbladder was meant for the man.
Ning Shu: …
Back home, Ning Shu placed Zhenzhen on the bed and stroked her face. “It would be better for us to go traveling.”
Come, let’s wander around. Anyway, there were many paths to travel.
Ning Shu suspected that the man and woman were the main characters of this world.
They would share trials and tribulations before finally seeing the truth.
Come on, be in love. There was plenty of stupidity to go around anyway.
The woman planned to carry the general to White Cloud Temple.
The village head had just received such a valuable pearl, so he hurriedly asked the strong men in the village to carry the general to the White Cloud Temple.
The woman and the general hadn’t left for long before a group arrived in the village.
Their faces were carved with incomprehensible designs and it made them look somewhat fierce.
When they entered the village, they spoke in rough Mandarin, “Two people came here. Where did they go?”
“They went to White Cloud Temple,” the villagers said.
Don’t count on these villagers to sacrifice their lives to hide people they didn’t know.
The leader’s cheek twitched, causing the designs on his face to twist.
“High Priest, let’s capture a villager to take us to White Cloud Temple,” a man said.
The man addressed as high priest closed his eyes, then opened them. He went to the village head’s house.
Ning Shu held her child and watched these gaudy people. Who were they anyway?
When they went to the village head’s house, Ning Shu followed them. Many villagers also went and people crowded around.
When the high priest saw the village head, he immediately grabbed his neck.
The village head was stupefied. The high priest said coldly, “Hand over the mermaid pearl.”
The village head didn’t know what the mermaid pearl was. He was strangled by the other person and his face had turned incredibly red.
“High Priest, he can’t speak like this,” the person beside him warned.
The high priest released his grip and the village head fell to the ground, coughing violently.
The man next to the high priest said to the village head, “The mermaid pearl is a pearl. Hand it over, or you will die.”
Under the threat of death, the village head immediately thought of the pearl that the soldier had given him before and frantically clambered to his feet to take it out.
“This is it. I only have this pearl,” the village head said with fear and trepidation.
