章 42: Chapter 42: Rise and Fall of the Nation_1

"Trifles? Haha, with your status, it seems only fitting to bribe the fairy with such trinkets. I gather you're insane!"

Liu Xi's voice was derisive, his face mocking.

No matter what Chu Yuan produced, nothing could surpass his Hidden Dragon Zither. He had the upper hand this time, surely the fairy would think of him first whenever she would play the zither in the future.

"Indeed, it's a trifle. Hardly worth mentioning."

Chu Yuan pulled out a bead the size of a goose egg from his bosom.

This bead shone with starlight. Although it was pitch black, it was adorned with bright spots that resembled stars. It sparkled brilliantly, releasing an obscure yet divine hue.

"What is that?" Mu Rou asked curiously.

"A trifle, it's called the Star Universe Bead."

Replied Chu Yuan.

"Indeed, a shoddy trifle. You dare dishonor her with such a bead, my mansion has countless objects of the sort. How many do you want? I can give you all. Just don't embarrass yourself on the fairy's birthday."
