Chapter 446 The Crown Returns
She was worried she wouldn't be able to find Qi Ye, but to her surprise, he was squatting at the doorway, setting up a charcoal grill and even had a menu on it.
Explosive spicy zombie meat, no spice, no charge, ten yuan per pound.
Qi Ye glanced at the man behind Bai Yisha without making a sound, and clicked his tongue twice.
Lu Jingyan and Lu Mingxing finally saw the handsome boy Bai Yisha had mentioned earlier, and they both squinted their eyes simultaneously.
"I brought the Buddhist prayer beads. Let me see the crown so I can inspect the goods."
Qi Ye held a small bamboo fan in his hand, fanning the black charcoal grilling, the flames leaping and crackling.
The best thing to do on this day is to warm yourself by the fire.
He tilted his head slightly, letting Bai Yisha look behind him.
Bai Yisha looked in the direction of his head and saw a materials shelf behind him, a beautiful silver crown, and a pile of chicken feet next to it.
This crown, made of pure silver, shines with a soft and mysterious luster, as if it can devour all the light around it, leaving only its unique silver glow.
The crown's edge is meticulously set with a circle of tiny diamonds, each carefully selected, uniform in size, and neatly arranged. Against the silver backdrop, they appear even more dazzling.
At the top of the crown is a huge silver gemstone, with exquisite patterns carved on both sides. These patterns, which resemble ancient runes, have a silver background, smooth lines, and unique shapes, adding a touch of mystery and antiquity to the crown.
Even Bai Yisha, who had seen many beautiful jewels, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
He then nudged Xi Yanchen's elbow and asked, "Xiaobai, is that your mother's keepsake?"
Xi Yanchen glanced at Bai Yisha and nodded.
He then strode forward, but was stopped about half a meter away.
Qi Ye held a barbecue brush in his other hand, dripping with golden oil, and held it straight across in front of Xi Yanchen.
A cold, unyielding smile curled at the corner of his lips, his eyes sharp as knives.
"Did I let you touch me?"
Today he was wearing a white shirt with the collar buttons neatly arranged, and a dark red outer garment tied diagonally over it. The modern Chinese-style clothing exuded a touch of unrestrained sophistication.
A red tassel earring, shaped like a Chinese knot, hung on his left ear, swaying gently as he tilted his head slightly.
He was tall and slender with slightly hunched shoulders, and his eyes held a hint of languor and defiance. He exuded an aura that was hard to ignore.
It is both rebellious and possesses an indescribable elegance.
His hair hung messily over his forehead, revealing a pair of sharp eyes with a hint of disdain and provocation in them.
He flicked his fingers casually twice, splattering oil stains that caused Xi Yanchen to involuntarily take two steps back.
Qi Ye acted frivolously and arrogantly, as if the whole world owed him something.
Then, he turned to look at Bai Yisha, a smile playing on his lips, revealing two small tiger teeth, and said, "Bai Xiaosha, do it yourself."
His voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of cynicism, as if everything was under his control.
Qi Ye's arrogant demeanor is extremely handsome.
But he's also incredibly annoying.
Bai Yisha pondered for two seconds, then stepped forward, picked up the crown, twirled it twice in her hand, and turned to look at Xi Yanchen.
After receiving Xi Yanchen's nod, Bai Yisha had Lu Mingxing hand the Buddhist beads to Qi Ye.
"A man in the underworld wouldn't be so untrustworthy. Take what you want and get out of here, don't keep me from making a living... Damn it, you bastard!!"
Qi Ye had been leisurely accepting the prayer beads and was in a good mood when he suddenly caught sight of a man in black chasing after him from a distance. He cursed under his breath and walked away without looking back, clutching the prayer beads.
Bai Yisha stood there, her brows furrowed slightly, her lips trembling as if she wanted to say something. Just then, she heard a group of burly men in black suits running towards them from about twenty meters away.
In their hands...
Still carrying a fishing net?
Bai Yisha: "?"
what's the situation?
The group rushed over fiercely, and Lu Jingyan took the lead, put his arm around Bai Yisha's shoulder, and pulled her back a step to avoid the big men.
"Silly girl, why didn't you dodge? What if you bumped into her?"
Lu Jingyan sighed helplessly, glanced at the crowd that had run away, and seemed to be deep in thought.
Bai Yisha didn't reply to Lu Jingyan's words. She shook her head and said, "It seems like every time I run into Qi Ye, he's running away. Just how many enemies does he have? It's terrifying."
Every time is different.
Lu Jingyan gently brushed against Bai Yisha's nose and said indulgently, "Then you should stay away from him. He's such a scary person. Now that everything's settled, you can go home, right?"
"Yes! Today just happens to be the day I go home!"
He casually took the crown from Bai Yisha's hand and handed it to Xi Yanchen.
Xi Yanchen glanced at Bai Yisha, then looked down at the crown. He took it and stroked the edge of the crown, his emotions a mixture of complexity and frustration.
It's hard for him not to love a girl like Bai Yisha.
On the return trip, Xi Yanchen did not go back with him. He said he wanted to go to the cemetery to see his mother, bury his mother properly, and then dispose of the Crown.
Bai Yisha originally wanted to go along, but Xi Yanchen declined with a smile.
He said she had helped him too much, and he felt he had to do something in return.
Bai Yisha didn't insist any further and returned to Kyoto with the others.
The next morning, she sent a message to Chi Liche.
Bai Yisha: [Chi Liche! Are you free today? I've come to visit! And also to check on how my company is doing.]
After returning to Kyoto, the others were busy with something and could not be seen during the day. Xi Yanchen would not be back for another two days.
He won't be able to go to the comic convention.
Bai Yisha then thought of Chi Liche.
I haven't even had a chance to properly use the [Exceptional Appreciation] skill I won in the lottery yet.
Since they were so busy, she planned to go gold hunting in the morning. The opening time for the anime convention in Kyoto was a warm-up entry in the morning, and the performances started around 2 p.m.
Chi Liche was probably busy or hadn't seen the message, so he didn't reply to her immediately.
Bai Yisha wasn't in a hurry; she ran barefoot to the lawn in the backyard to sit on the swing.
This swing was built for her by Song Yumi because she liked it; many swings were built throughout the villa.
She was holding her phone and dangling it, unaware that someone was walking towards her.
"Snapped."
Bai Yisha kicked Jiang Fan in the face.
Jiang Fan was startled and fell to the ground, covering his face. The showerhead in his hand fell to the ground, spilling water everywhere.
"You, you hit me..."
"Oh!" Bai Yisha exclaimed in surprise, quickly stopping the swing and running over to help the person up. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you alright?"
Jiang Fan raised his head, a barely perceptible glint of tears in his eyes, his voice so soft it was as if he were afraid of disturbing the air: "Master... if you slapped my face, then I'll slap yours too."
