Chapter 877: Chapter 875: Nurturing Jade Chapter 877: Chapter 875: Nurturing Jade Tan Ying could naturally tell that the customer Fu Qian claimed was Cecilia, although seemingly dressed simply, was actually wearing quite expensive clothing.

Her demeanor was also bold and confident, giving off the impression she was either rich or noble.

Coupled with what Fu Qian had mentioned before, there really was no question she could be a wealthy widow.

For a moment, Tan Ying couldn’t help but give Fu Qian a deep look.

She had already heard from Young Master Qin that this lady, who had disappeared for a while, was accompanying a new wealthy “Su” widow on a trip, and not the previous Wealthy Widow Wen.

Adding to this, her business was booming!

It seemed that Lady Cecilia had even come by specifically to visit, making this consultant appear quite impressive!

…
Shocked as she was, as a well-mannered lady, Tan Ying took only a few seconds to conceal her emotions.

She was merely invited to chat casually and to satisfy her curiosity, it was impolite to share too much information as someone not directly involved.

“You seem to have changed your bracelet.”

Unexpectedly, it was Fu Qian who next fixed his gaze on her wrist, bringing up the exact topic.

“What are you doing?”

Tan Ying, instinctively pulling her hand back, felt as if she was being targeted by a thief.

During this, she even glanced towards Lady Cecilia as if to hint.

Your customer is still here, are you really going to just leave her aside without attending to her?

And if the bracelet you bought for eighteen thousand wasn’t for her, isn’t it inappropriate to mention it now?

“It looks as good as the one I bought last time.”

But surprisingly, Fu Qian continued to ignore the customer and unabashedly went on.

“What, have you saved up another eighteen thousand?”

After staring at Fu Qian for a few seconds, Tan Ying immediately questioned him back.

Since the person himself was being so straightforward, a little boldness from her wouldn’t matter much.

Lady Cecilia, however, maintained a dignified smile, seemingly not minding being neglected and was equally curious about the bracelet on Tan Ying’s hand.

“What a beautiful bracelet!”

The next moment, she commented softly, naturally looking toward Fu Qian.

“If it truly is of similar quality, eighteen thousand seems quite a stretch!”

They are all so knowledgeable!

Faced with Cecilia’s confident tone, Fu Qian thought to himself.

In fact, Fu Qian only had a basic understanding of jade and hadn’t studied it extensively.

Everyone has their preferences; for him, he would rather spend his brain cells on remembering how many cloves are in a bulb of garlic.

But he had to admit, the vivid green jade bracelet really did look pleasing on Tan Ying’s fair wrist.

“Jade is just about personal taste, liking it is what matters.”

Even when complimented by another beautiful woman, Tan Ying remained confident and modest, and she took the opportunity to shoot Fu Qian a glare.

“Honestly, I still prefer the one before, it feels strangely comfortable.”

How could it not feel comfortable being nourished by life?

Fu Qian sighed internally but finally, they shifted to a more meaningful topic.

“Just find the person who gave the gift, pre-arrange next year’s birthday gift and you’ll be set.”

The next moment he winked, casually giving advice.

“…do you think everyone is as thick-skinned as you?”

Tan Ying was speechless.

“So, did you go looking for him?”

“…I did.”

Then why are you acting all high and mighty here!

Watching Tan Ying’s flushed cheeks, Fu Qian looked unimpressed.

No need to ask, it was obviously fruitless.

Fu Qian had brought up the topic on purpose, wanting to see if he could trace the origin through these extraordinary items.

“I couldn’t ask directly, so I beat around the bush and confirmed twice, but the other party obtained it unintentionally and doesn’t know much about its origin.”

At this moment, Miss Tan lowered her head, her voice getting quieter as she spoke, yet the tone of regret was genuinely heartfelt.

It was evident that her obsession had grown strong, yet she still ended up with no results.

In collecting shiny objects, Fu Qian always believed in the initiative of his female comrades, and if this one had no results, then tracing the source was temporarily out of consideration.

However, it had originally been no more than a tentative probe, so Fu Qian wasn’t too disappointed.

As for the instigator of the trouble, the next moment he thought and pointed at something in Tan Ying’s hand.

“There’s a saying, ‘People can nourish jade.’ It might just be lacking nourishment. May I take a look?”

…

Not only Tan Ying but it seemed that even Lady Cecilia was at a loss for words.

But perhaps considering the guidance from the previous day, after a slight hesitation, she took it off and handed it over to Fu Qian.

“Be careful–”
And even before she had finished her warning, her voice suddenly stopped.

Fu Qian reached out to receive it, and his fingers, with inexplicable agility, swiftly caressed the bracelet’s surface.

And in just a few seconds, upon a glance, the bracelet seemed to have a different feel to it.

It’s hard to describe specifically, perhaps… bursting with vitality?

Seeing the shiny, clear bracelet, which seemed to be glowing on its own, Tan Ying started to doubt her own eyes for a moment.

However, instinctively looking up, she noticed that Fu Qian’s Wealthy Widow Wen customer wore the same expression.

What’s going on, it’s not just her imagination?

There!

But Fu Qian didn’t give her much time to ponder and handed the bracelet back to her.

“What did you do?”

Caressing the surface, which seemed even to have changed to the touch, Tan Ying asked instinctively.

“People nourish jade.”

Fu Qian naturally extended a finger.

“I smeared some sweat on it.”

…

Hearing the first part, Tan Ying, who couldn’t help but roll her eyes, nearly dropped the bracelet.

But Fu Qian was quick to react, pinching it steadily between two fingers.

“While I did indeed save up 180,000, trying to scam isn’t nice.”

Handing the bracelet back to Tan Ying, Fu Qian said offhandedly.

And Tan Ying, accused of intending to scam, looked unsure of what expression to make and finally just silently took it back.

…

It seemed there wasn’t any special reaction!

At this moment, Fu Qian’s eyes subtly watched his customer’s reaction.

The sweat thing was obviously nonsense.

Fu Qian had indeed smeared something on the bracelet, but it was blood.

Just now, using his control over his body, he had allowed a thin layer of blood beads to ooze from his finger, evenly coating the bracelet.

There were two reasons for doing this.

One was that since Tan Ying couldn’t find the origin of the extraordinary item, Fu Qian decided to do the opposite and create one to see if it would trigger any abnormal reaction.

As a demigod, his blood should have some extraordinary spirituality, right?

The facts proved that as the blood coated the bracelet, it almost instantly permeated it, causing some sort of change.

In Fu Qian’s perception, wearing it long-term might not have life-extending effects, but the bracelet itself definitely became more durable.

As for the other purpose, he wanted to see his customer’s reaction to witnessing this scene.

Despite undoubtedly being an ordinary person, this customer’s arrival was too mysterious.

The facts proved that in the face of such a blatant challenge to common sense, Lady Cecilia showed no reactions out of the ordinary.
