Chapter 179 Hehe, watch this rat show off its skills (2/2)
Reading Settings
When Little White sneaked into the yard, the snow had lessened, but the wind had become even colder.
It slipped through the crack in the door without stirring up a gust of wind.
The room was warm and cozy.
Yan Yu and Ruan Tang sat side by side on the kang (a heated brick bed), covered with thick quilts. Yan Yu's long arms encircled Ruan Tang in his embrace, his chin resting comfortably on the top of her head as he spoke softly, intimately and peacefully.
Seeing this, Xiao Bai's dark purple eyes darted around, and a strong desire to show off instantly surged within him.
It quietly scurried onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
With a soft "thud," like a small cannonball, a ball of snow-white fur landed unexpectedly on the blanket between the two of them.
"ah!"
Ruan Tang was startled by this sudden "object from outer space," exclaimed in surprise, and subconsciously shrank into Yan Yu's warm embrace.
Yan Yu reacted even faster, tightening his arms around her abruptly, his tall frame completely protecting her, his dark eyes coldly sweeping over her.
Under Yan Yu's icy gaze, Little White proudly shook its snow-white fur.
Hmph, you bad man! This divine rat has done a great service today, don't even think about scaring me with your eyes!
With its head held high and chest puffed out, two tiny mithril paws tucked behind its back, it strutted with an octagonal gait, looking exactly like a grand marshal preparing to inspect the three armies.
It first winked at Ruan Tang, then glanced sideways at Yan Yu, its little eyes clearly saying: Watch closely, the moment to witness a miracle is about to begin!
Little White took a deep breath, reached its little paws into the storage pouch under its neck, and began to rummage out.
"Clatter".
A piece of blood jade pendant shaped like a ruyi (a traditional Chinese symbol of good fortune) was thrown on the quilt.
"Squeak!" That grumpy-faced man! It pointed with its paw in the direction of Aunt Fengxia's house, its face full of disgust.
Ruan Tang immediately understood; it was Gu Jinzhou.
Before she could speak, Xiaobai started rummaging around again.
"Clatter".
The second piece was a yellow jade pendant shaped like a lingzhi mushroom.
"Squeak squeak squeak!" It's that woman who always fights with Shen Yishan! Little White's paws pointed at the educated youth settlement again, and it even made a face in that direction.
Ruan Tang's lips twitched. Without asking, it was Jin Yuhong's.
This little thing is truly ruthless, leaving nothing behind.
Yan Yu didn't say anything, he just watched, his large hand had already covered Ruan Tang's hand at some point, silently comforting her with his body heat.
The real show is just beginning.
Little White used both front paws, huffing and puffing, to pull out three pieces of jade from its storage pouch in one go, piling them all together.
"Pat, pat, pat."
One piece is a jade pendant in the shape of mandarin ducks, one piece is a fish-shaped jade pendant that is entirely black, and the last piece is a mountain-shaped jade pendant that is snow-white with a cold light.
"Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak!" (That big bad guy! He stole it from her black box!)
Little White excitedly tumbled several times on the blanket, its fluffy tail swishing like a windmill, its eyes sparkling as it stared at Ruan Tang, its face practically screaming: Praise me! Praise me!
The five jade pendants lay on the quilt, each emitting a different faint light under the lamp.
Ruan Tang's smile froze completely when she saw the fifth jade pendant.
I didn't notice it at first, but when these five jade pendants were placed together...
She stretched out her fingers and separated the five jade pendants one by one, rearranging them.
The blood-red Ruyi jade pendant belongs to the fire element.
The yellow jade pendant with the lingzhi mushroom motif belongs to the earth element.
The emerald green jade pendant, made from jade from the ocean, belongs to the wood element.
The dark, deep-colored fish-shaped jade belongs to the water element.
Snow-white, icy mountain-shaped jade belongs to the metal element.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.
The five elements are all present!
This is definitely not a coincidence! (You have finished reading this chapter. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
