Chapter 699: Divine Beast

Xie Jiuhan’s eyes twitched as he looked at Bran’s wretched expression. “Do you think I need these things?”

Bran’s heart tightened upon hearing this. He knew that he had failed to please him again. However, when he thought about it, it made sense. After all, Xie Jiuhan was very young. He looked to be in his twenties at most. How could a person of this age need any medicine? Hence, his eyes darted around and he immediately had an idea.

Bran put down the white box and took out something from another black box. “Master, this thing is called Zhenpin Tianxiang. Don’t underestimate this thing. This thing is sold in grams on the international black market. One gram costs three hundred thousand and is very rare.”

Xie Jiuhan couldn’t help but look over upon hearing the words “Zhenpin Tianxiang”. He seemed to finally be interested. He was very clear about this thing because three years ago, he had used this thing to scam the boss of Blue Stocks Capital.

Xie Jiuhan reached out and took the Zhenpin Tianxiang. He played with it for a while and a devilish smile appeared on his lips. Three years had passed. He wondered if the boss of Blue Stocks Capital still yearned for this Zhenping Tianxiang as much as before. He felt that he could keep this thing and find a chance to con that fellow again. Just the thought of it was interesting…

Bran finally felt relieved when he saw that Xie Jiuhan had accepted the Zhenping Tianxiang. He felt that his life seemed to have been saved for the time being. If he had known that Xie Jiuhan liked this thing, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort before. However, when he saw the evil smile on Xie Jiuhan’s lips, he couldn’t help but tremble. He felt that this man was scheming against someone again.

Xie Jiuhan looked around and finally chose a jade thumb ring among the treasures that were piled up like a mountain. This jade thumb ring was made of top-grade imperial jade. Its quality and color were also top-grade. It was very rare to see such a big and good top-grade ice-type imperial jade. The most amazing thing was that a blood-red ribbon had naturally formed inside the jade. Although he didn’t know what this circle of red was, it looked very good when combined with the color of the ice-type imperial jade.

When he had taken a fancy to the jade ring again, Bran hurriedly flattered, “As expected of Master, your taste is good. You took a fancy to this top-grade item at a glance. As long as Master likes it, you can take it away.”

Xie Jiuhan said coldly, “What’s the pattern carved on this thumb ring?”

Bran was stunned for a moment before he explained, “This thumb ring was designed and made by a famous craftsman in Country R. He originally made it for his pregnant wife, so the carving on it is the legendary divine beast that can protect pregnant women and calm the fetus and mother. Later on, it ended up in my hands.”

Xie Jiuhan nodded when he heard the meaning of this thumb ring. In addition, this was a rare top-grade ice-type imperial jade with a blood jade ribbon. “Yes, I’ll accept this.”

Bran hurriedly nodded with an obedient and sensible expression. However, he was cursing Xie Jiuhan crazily in his heart. However, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only bear the pain and give up his love. After all, nothing was more important than his life.

…

When Xie Jiuhan walked out of Bran’s mansion with the mercenaries, the sky was already bright. The salty sea wind blew Xie Jiuhan’s hair, making him feel refreshed. The mercenaries behind him also took a deep breath of fresh air.

The Sword God walked over and said, “Lord Phoenix, that old fellow, Bran, is probably scared out of his wits. He definitely won’t dare to have any designs on you anymore. I wonder where you’re going now? My brothers and I are willing to follow you. Regardless of whether we go through hell or high water, as long as we can follow you, I’m willing to give up everything for you. Even if you want me to pick up the soap, I’m willing…”

Upon hearing this, Xie Jiuhan hurriedly took two steps to the side and said in disdain, “Get lost! If you dare to disgust me again, I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the fish.”

Not only was the Sword God not afraid after being scolded by Xie Jiuhan, but he also smiled lowly. “Not to mention feeding the fish, if Master is willing, I can do anything for you.”

Xie Jiuhan was speechless. He wanted to vomit but couldn’t. He could only change the topic. “We’ll go to Xia country in a day. We’ll travel by water the entire time.”

The Sword God hurriedly said, “Lord Phoenix, I want to go back to Xia country too. Can you let me and my brothers follow you?”

Xie Jiuhan pondered for a moment. Although the Sword God looked sloppy all day, his combat strength was very strong. It was not difficult to take the head of a general in a ten thousand army with an ancient sword in his hand. It was not bad to have him as a helper on the way back. Hence, he said, “Let the brothers go home. You can come up.”
