Chapter 941: Chapter 937: Nether River Water
As he spoke, Xiao Tian began to expand his Perception Power, exploring towards the porcelain bottle, discovering that the energy inside showed no sign of dissipating and even had a faint resistance blocking the Perception Power.
The resistance was very weak, easily breakable by Xiao Tian, but he felt that such an action was inappropriate and might possibly cause the contents to deteriorate, so he had to look at Fujiwara Daisuke, waiting for his explanation.
Fujiwara Daisuke did not immediately answer Xiao Tian’s question but instead asked back, "I remember you said before that the young lady by your side is not convenient to show her face, I suppose she has suffered some trauma, right?"
Upon hearing this, Adison Claire’s eyes changed instantly but she still opened her mouth and said, "I was caught in a fire before and suffered some burns on my face."
Fujiwara Daisuke nodded understandingly, then turned his gaze back to Xiao Tian, getting to the point, "Our Fujiwara Clan was once glorious, but in our generation, we have nothing of value to present."
"From your skills, it seems you are not lacking money, so I can only offer this bottle of ’Nether River Water’ as a token of appreciation!"
Hearing the word ’Nether River Water’, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but show an expression of surprise. If this thing were to be sold, it could fetch an astronomical price!
Xiang Yiting, although she had not heard of Nether River Water, linked Fujiwara Daisuke’s previous words, guessing it probably also had some relation to Adison Claire.
"What is Nether River Water?" Adison Claire looked at Xiao Tian in confusion.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Tian explained as plainly as possible, "You can think of it as a top-notch beauty product that can perfectly restore any scar. Even if someone without scars uses it, their skin will become as smooth and tender as that of a newborn, supple and delicate."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yiting and Adison Claire’s eyes both lit up. For girls, this is a direct hit to the heart, and it’s hard for anyone not to be greatly tempted!
Fujiwara Daisuke apparently didn’t expect Xiao Tian to know the effects of the Nether River Water, but this saved him from having to explain.
At the same time, Fujiwara Daisuke was very confident in what he brought out because its efficacy was something any woman who loves beauty couldn’t resist clamoring for.
Preliminary estimates, conservatively speaking, it would be worth at least over ten million!
Looking at Xiang Yiting and Adison Claire beside him, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but think of Lin Bingxuan and others, a single bottle of Nether River Water would at least be enough for a dozen people.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tian didn’t hold back, directly took the small celadon bottle, and smiled, "Thank you very much then."
"What are you saying, you saved our entire village, what’s a single bottle of Nether River Water!"
Fujiwara Daisuke said seriously, "If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be us thanking you."
Just as he finished speaking, someone chimed in support, "Yes! We should be thanking you!"
...
After the lively celebratory banquet, Xiao Tian led the two women back to the small courtyard.
The three of them sat in a circle in the courtyard, Xiao Tian took out the bottle of Nether River Water, and looking at the wide-eyed Xiang Yiting and Adison Claire, teased them, "So, do you want it or not?"
Xiang Yiting instinctively nodded her head, but quickly realized her lapse, her cheeks flushing red as she shot a resentful and shy glance at Xiao Tian.
As for Adison Claire, after a brief display of girlishness, she quickly composed herself and, under the gaze of Xiao Tian and Xiang Yiting, slowly but earnestly shook her head.
"Sorry, I’m not feeling well, you two go on and chat."
With that, Adison Claire turned and walked toward the house, leaving Xiao Tian and Xiang Yiting standing there, exchanging glances, both feeling that something wasn’t quite right.
Over the past couple of days’ interactions, Xiang Yiting could tell Adison Claire wasn’t someone who couldn’t take a joke, so the current situation was rather irrational!
But Xiao Tian, after a moment of frowning and thinking, seemed to vaguely guess something.
"Should we check on her?" Xiang Yiting looked in the direction Adison Claire had left, her delicate eyebrows instinctively drawing together.
Xiao Tian shook his head, "No need, let’s address what’s in front of us, didn’t you just say you wanted this Nether River Water?"
Xiang Yiting looked at him, the mischievous smile on his face made her feel an uneasy premonition, doubtingly asked, "You’re not thinking of keeping it all to yourself, are you?"
"Hey! The gratitude was directed at me!" Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow, "And I was the one who put in the most effort, so even if I keep it all, it shouldn’t be an issue, right?"
"We have an old saying in Huaxia, ’When you meet, split it in half’, surely you’ve heard of it, right?" Xiang Yiting glanced at Xiao Tian, righteously saying.
Then, showing an understanding expression, she shifted her tone, "However, considering the hard work, the Nether River Water can be split into two portions, you get one portion, and Claire and I will share the other."
Xiao Tian looked incredulously at Xiang Yiting, was this still the polite girl who blushed when she spoke?!
Or maybe after spending so much time together, her true nature was revealing itself?
Xiao Tian shook his head helplessly and sighed, then chuckled, "Even if I gave you the Nether River Water, do you know how to use it?"
Her cheeks slightly flushed with embarrassment, Xiang Yiting’s eyes darted around before she asked, "So, you know how it’s to be used?"
"Of course!" Xiao Tian smiled proudly, looking down on Xiang Yiting, as if showing off something.
"In that case, do tell," said Xiang Yiting as she casually picked up a twig, crouching down to make notes.
"Did I say I would tell you how to use the Nether River Water?" Xiao Tian asked inexplicably.
Xiang Yiting put down the twig, stood up, "Didn’t you just say you know how to use the Nether River Water?"
"I do know, but I never said I would tell you!"
Even so, Xiao Tian immediately softened his stance, "However, if you beg me, I might consider telling you how to use it."
"In your dreams!" Xiang Yiting snapped the twig in her hand and threw it aside, standing up in annoyance, rolling her eyes so far they almost reached the sky.
Having said that, perhaps thinking the joke had run its course, Xiang Yiting dusted her hands and said, "Alright, you should rest early, we have to get up early tomorrow."
Yet at this moment, with Xiao Tian’s spirits high about returning home soon, he didn’t feel sleepy at all. Watching Xiang Yiting about to enter the house, he couldn’t help but confirm, "You really don’t want to hear it? I’ll tell you for free this time."
Xiang Yiting’s steps involuntarily paused, "I suppose I could listen!"
