Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 783: Chapter 107: Flower Vine Necklace (Part 2)

During the welding, Yezi even deliberately dotted a few extra drops of silver liquid on the chain, and the entire chain looked like countless rose vines with "dew" on them, naturally the craftsmanship was beyond question.

Anna was already stunned; she had seen countless craftsmen attempt to match a fitting chain to her pocket watch, some used clasps like Yila did. No matter how exquisitely the clasps were made, they would all break under the weight of the pocket watch without exception.

"Miss, now you should have nothing to pick on anymore." Xiao Xian gave Yezi a look of approval, then cleared his throat, feeling more confident with Yezi as his playmate.

"Is that so? I still need to see if it’s durable enough," Anna’s eyes flashed with danger, and she gripped the pocket watch tightly in her hand. Xiao Xian sensed something and immediately grabbed the watch chain in Anna’s hand, seemingly giving it a gentle pull.

When Xiao Xian touched her hand, Anna’s hand went numb, and the chain was about to be pulled away by Xiao Xian.

She refused to show weakness, her grip did not slacken, and a forceful Spiritual Power directly collided with Xiao Xian’s enduring Silver-grade spiritual power.

"Hmm!!" Xiao Xian and Anna both tensed up at the same time. She is...?

"Intermediate Researcher at the European Royal Research Institute, Anna Kristof," Anna let go, sizing up Xiao Xian closely.

"Intermediate Student from Chinese Huake Institute, Zhu Xiaoxian," it seems I’ve encountered someone of my own kind, no wonder she talks so loudly, as if she’s on her own territory.

Xiao Xian didn’t care what kind of background Anna and her entourage had, be they ordinary people or Cultivators, it was a fair trade.

The chain had been retrieved, and it was time to settle accounts: "Now that we’ve made our acquaintance, let’s settle the matter of the chain. Even though it’s at an exhibition, helping to process such a complicated chain certainly can’t be for free. The silver coins earlier were your offer, and he’ll settle with you for the lost wages. The cost of the silver material for the necklace is another matter, how much was it again, Yezi?"

Yezi knew exactly what Xiao Xian was thinking; they had long been seamless partners in such double-acting.

"Over two hundred grams of sterling silver, not counting the head, plus the craftsmanship fee, which is five thousand per chain made by Master Li. Giving me a 60% deal works," taking three thousand as a dating fund isn’t bad, or maybe add some money and make a pair of beautiful earrings for Xiao Xian.

Her skin was white, and her earlobes delicate, wearing diamond earrings would definitely look beautiful, Yezi was caught up in the vision of Xiao Xian wearing earrings, full of longing.

"Then it’s three thousand five hundred, round it up, we don’t tip in China," this Anna looked so much like a clone of "Aisha," hot-tempered and lavish with money.

In Xiao Xian’s code of conduct, or rather the rules of Huake Institute, as a Cultivator or Superpower User, one should either keep a low profile or have the strength to be high-profile.

Even if one can’t do either, at the very least they must ensure not to disrupt the lives of ordinary people, but Anna’s actions clearly violated this principle.

"You really are somewhat different, or is it that people from Chinese Huake Institute are all so short on cash?" Anna had never seen such a money-loving Cultivator; she had just roughly gauged Xiao Xian’s strength, which should be at Silver High Rank, on the verge of breaking through, about the same as Anna.

However, compared to Anna’s brute force, the Spiritual Power of this student named Zhu Xiaoxian was a bit purer. This was also the consensus of several people including Zhou Ziang and Mei Nian on Xiao Xian.

"Thanks for the compliment, remember to take good care of this watch, Master Li doesn’t offer his services readily, it won’t be so convenient to find him next time," Xiao Xian graciously took the money, returned the chain and watch to Anna, and didn’t forget to add a few posthumous remarks.

Just now, out of pride, Anna almost destroyed the chain, but now that she had it back and took a closer look, she was amazed by Yezi’s craftsmanship. "Now if she were to destroy the chain again, she would truly have some reluctance.

"Master Li? You are Master Li Quqi’s son." Yila only then understood and nodded, no wonder Yezi’s silver making skills were so proficient.

"Xiao Xian, we should be going now. If we dilly-dally any longer, father will be back," as soon as Yezi heard his father’s name, his head began to buzz; anyway, he had gotten back his pride, and the exhibition setup was not a problem, so it was best to leave early for peace of mind.

"Wait a moment," Yezi’s low urging fell into Anna’s ears. She picked up the bottle of rose fragrance on the table: "Is this rose fragrance also your creation? Is this liquid inside the latest achievement of the Huake Institute?"

"Hehe," Xiao Xian waved her hand, making a helpless expression, "As someone from the Royal Research Institute, you should know that some things are classified, sorry, no comment."

"So I can take this bottle of rose fragrance, right? This doesn’t fall under classified information," hearing Anna of such origins wanting to take something from the exhibition, the other guests around were getting restless.

After this exhibition, several historical records were created, not just the incident about the rose silver chain in Pavillion D4; the discarded rose vases after the late stage of the exhibition also became sought after by various visitors, these are stories for another time.

"Yes, there should always be a little extra for you. See you next time," Xiao Xian and Yezi hurried into the crowd.

"Soon, we will have the opportunity to meet again, Intermediate Student from Huake Institute," Anna and her entourage also left the Miao Silver booth.

While walking on the exhibition corridor, Anna was blocked by a young man and woman standing at the corner.
