Bab 35: Chapter 35 I'll Take This Mission

Wufu took the jade pendant that he handed her, with a yellowish tint mixed with red, warm to the touch. It was hard to say whether the warmth was due to the body heat of its previous owner or if the jade itself was naturally warm. When held in her hand, it felt very smooth and moist.

She looked at the jade pendant with interest, holding it up against the light to take a closer look. The jade was smooth and delicate, oily and shiny, and although the pendant itself was not carved with any intricate patterns, the hint of blood-red within the jade seemed to form a unique pattern. Was that a Kirin?

It was a fine piece of jade indeed!

"This is thousand-year-old ancient jade, I've been wearing it since I was born. It was from my mother…" Ah Jiu cut off abruptly, saying, "It was my mother who put it on me, to ward off evil and nourish the body…"

"It looks like blood jade," Wufu interrupted him.

Ah Jiu's words halted, and he looked at her deeply once again.
