Chapter 176 Discovered?
"Xiaoyu is kindhearted, and our friendship is as strong as gold. It won't reject me just because of such a small matter, right?
It’s okay even if she refuses. After all, I am Xiaoyu’s owner, so everything belongs to me.
Alas, I just don’t know where the Crystal Palace is. There should be a lot of treasures in it.”
Ji Wei thought to himself, a light flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Xiaoyu inconspicuously.
Xiaoyu's body trembled, and his back felt cold. He felt like he was being stared at by something dirty.
"Boss, this way."
Xia Jin, who was walking in front, was leading the way for Ji Wei and seemed not to notice the interaction between her and Xiaoyu.
The two of them quickly walked to the courtyard where Xia Jin lived.
The stone table in the yard has been laid out with snacks and tea unique to Beijing.
"Master, I have brought all the things."
The butler, who had a beard and wore a long robe but had a strong build and looked like a trained man, said respectfully.
"Grandpa Wang, you're here just in time. This is Ji Wei, my friend."
Xia Jin introduced it to him.
Steward Wang had an expressionless face, but a gleam in his eyes kept flashing. He looked at Ji Wei for a few times without leaving any trace, then bowed and said respectfully, "Miss Ji."
"No need to do that, Steward Wang, just call me Ji Wei."
Ji Wei returned the greeting.
She has always disliked titles like Miss and Master.
What's more, Steward Wang is the general manager of the Xia Mansion. How could he be an ordinary person?
If it weren't for Xia Jin, her status would not be as high as that of Butler Wang.
The position of the Xia Mansion's chief steward is comparable to that of the governor of a small province.
Even some ministers had to give him some face.
Butler Wang represents the Xia family. Not giving him face is not giving face to the Xia family. Who dares not to give face to the Xia family!
Aren’t you afraid that King Xia and the head of the Xia family will come to cause trouble?
"Miss Ji is right."
Butler Wang did not refute, but responded in a low voice without changing the address.
Ji Wei knew that he couldn't convince the other party, so he said nothing more and sat on the stone bench.
"Wow, you bad boy, there are so many cakes here!"
Xiaoyu immediately flew down from his shoulder, looking at the exquisite pastries on the stone table, drooling greedily.
"Eat it if you want."
Ji Wei chuckled and picked up a piece of date paste cake and handed it to Xiaoyu.
"This is?"
Butler Wang at the side suddenly spoke up.
"It's Xiaoyu, the exotic animal I raised."
Ji Wei explained that this was an excuse she had thought of long ago.
To make Xiaoyu less conspicuous.
But this appearance did not conceal anything.
It’s not that Ji Wei didn’t think about it, but there was really no need.
Dragons are so rare that even some masters have never seen a living dragon, let alone other people.
"Miss Ji, your beast looks really special. This is the first time I've seen one. I wonder what kind it is?"
Butler Wang joked with a smile.
"It's just a mutant green snake with a little dragon blood."
Ji Wei was also smiling.
She had done her homework long ago and knew that saying Xiaoyu was just an ordinary green snake would definitely make people suspicious.
The green snake is just an ordinary strange beast, how could it speak?
But this mutated green snake with a bit of dragon blood is different.
The horns on the head have an explanation, and the ability to speak has an explanation as well.
People who have never seen a real dragon will never be able to spot it.
I thought it was about to end, but Butler Wang said one more thing.
"I see, Miss Ji is really lucky. Mutated beasts are very rare, let alone beasts with dragon blood.
But there is a difference between this beast with dragon blood and a dragon. I once had the honor of seeing a dragon. It was really fierce and majestic. I still remember it to this day."
He sighed.
Ji Wei didn't show it on his face, but he was a little shocked in his heart.
Butler Wang has actually seen a dragon! He saw that Xiaoyu is a dragon! !
"Grandpa Wang, you have seen a dragon, why didn't you tell me?"
Xia Jin also sat in front of the stone bench and drank a sip of tea.
"Master, you didn't ask me either."
Butler Wang said with a smile.
He looked at his watch and continued, "It's getting late. The master should come to look for me. Master, Miss Ji, I'm leaving first."
After saying this, he slowly left the courtyard.
Ji Wei and Xia Jin were the only ones left in the courtyard.
"Here are the three spiritual fruits you asked for."
Three spiritual fruits appeared in Ji Wei's hand and he placed them on the table.
Xia Jin hurriedly put it into the box, fearing that the medicinal properties would be lost.
This casual action made him feel heartbroken.
This thing is extremely precious and priceless. No one else can buy it even if they want to.
Even if they have this, they will keep it well for fear that the medicinal properties will be lost.
Unlike Ji Wei, who was so casual and didn't take the spiritual fruit seriously at all.
"Boss, everything you want is here."
Xia Jin opened the black wooden box on the table, which contained four Heavenly Grade Blood Dragon Crystals. He then pushed the wooden box in front of Ji Wei.
Ji Wei took a quick glance and found nothing unusual, then took out two blood dragon crystals and placed them in front of Xiaoyu.
"This is yours. Come back to me when you have used up these two."
Xiaoyu, who was eating snacks, was surprised and touched. She didn't expect Ji Wei to give her the Blood Dragon Crystal.
Xia Jin was also a little surprised.
'Isn't this a bit too extravagant? Exchanging four Heavenly Grade Blood Dragon Crystals just to raise a strange beast? !
Although this is a mutant beast, it is good, but this is a Heavenly Blood Dragon Crystal! Maybe this is the boss.'
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
But Xia Jin still reminded him, "Boss, if you want to feed the alien beast, you can customize a spiritual food recipe instead of feeding it blood dragon crystal.
I happen to know a spiritual chef, do you need one?"
"No need. Teacher Wei also introduced me to a spiritual chef, and I'm planning to meet him in a few days."
Ji Wei declined Xia Jin's kindness.
Xiaoyu, who was holding the Blood Dragon Crystal and eating snacks, snorted and glared at him.
Xia Jin was a little confused.
"What's wrong with this green snake? Why is it suddenly so hostile to me?"
But he didn't take it to heart, just thinking that he might have accidentally done something to make it unhappy.
Xia Jin doesn’t know, and Ji Wei doesn’t know either.
She stretched out her index finger and thumb and flicked Xiaoyu's head hard.
Xiaoyu opened her mouth to curse, but when she turned around and saw Ji Wei's cold eyes, she suddenly fell silent and dared not speak anymore.
"It's getting late, I should go."
Ji Wei put the remaining two Blood Dragon Crystals back into the storage ring.
Xia Jin was about to persuade her to stay, but Ji Wei suddenly raised her head.
"By the way, can I pack this plate of snacks and take it home?"
"Ah? Of course, if you like it, I'll ask the kitchen to make another box."
Xia Jin reacted and nodded quickly.
"No, these are enough. You can come to me if you encounter any trouble in the future."
Ji Wei put the plate of snacks back into the storage ring and looked at Xia Jin seriously.
"This plate of snacks is quite delicious. Take it back and let Qilin and the others have a taste."
she thought to herself.
"I'm leaving now. See you at school."
After doing all this, Ji Wei planned to leave.
Xiaoyu's tail, wrapped with blood dragon crystal, flew back to his shoulder.
"I send you!"
Xia Jin hurried to follow.
The two returned to the front yard again.
In this huge yard, there stood a middle-aged man with a square face and a very serious look.
