C272 The Function of a Hair

In a certain village in the new realm of Hong Kong Island.

As there were only a few people left in the village, the villagers happily moved to other places after receiving the money. Since the large corporations were developing this village, the money they gave to move away was reasonable, so there was no need for them to stay here.

There were still a few families that were reluctant to move. They were older, so they decided to stay here forever. Other than that, there were also the ancestral halls of the village. This was their ancestral hall for several lifetimes, and people had to be left behind to guard it.

That night, around 12 PM, a wave of black smoke fell into the ancestral hall. This was the thing that was giving Zheng Ruyan the air of death.

He had hidden himself underneath the ancestral hall during the day and was about to come out at night to commit murder, but today, his appearance was a little strange. He could not even move his body.

This guy had been dead for more than ten years, but because his soul had not been released, he could only stay on the edge of the world and live off of the yang energy of others.

However, this guy was quite knowledgeable in the way of cultivation. He had refined a lot of demonic energy and used it to help him collect the yang energy from many people, so he didn't need to personally commit the crime. This also reduced the chance of him being exposed for more than ten years.

The yang energy of humans was different as well. Some extremely strong people had very strong yang energy, while some people who were not very excited had no yang energy at all. Zheng Ruyan was a good source of yang energy for his subordinates, but today she was cut off.

This wasn't all. When he tried to connect with the demonic energy in Zheng Ruyan's body with his own inner qi, he was actually hit by a counterattack, causing him to be unable to regain his senses for a few hours.

This guy only tried to contact them once, and didn't dare to do anything else. Just now, that force was just too strong, not to mention, even if the Hundred Year Old Zombie King was here, he still wouldn't be a match for that aura. Moreover, this guy could feel that it was just a dead object, not a living person.

If a magic tool was this powerful, it could be imagined how terrifying the original body would be when it was used to refine a magic tool. If he was discovered, such a person could simply turn himself into ashes with a wave of his hand.

Thinking up to here, this guy looked around his surroundings. It seemed like he had to move …

Of course, Zheng Ruyan was not aware of the situation in Hong Kong, but she knew that she had slept very well last night. She had not woken up for more than 10 hours since she came back from yesterday.

This feeling was too comfortable. It was unknown how long it had been since he had this feeling. In the past, he would always sleep in a daze, as if he was in a state of drowsiness.

This state made Zheng Ruyan extremely disgusted. She still had a lot of things to do tomorrow. If she spent every night like this, how could she recover from her energy during the day? The doctor said that he was in a sub-health state and that the longer he lived, the more harmful it would be to the whole person.

It was all brought to him by Li Tian. Thinking about it here, Zheng Ruyan tightened her grip on the scented sachet in her hands, the good thing was that inside the scented sachet was her hair, if it was anything else, it would probably have been crushed by now.

If not for the Jade Plate today, Zheng Ruyan would probably be staying in bed for the entire day and wouldn't be enjoying life like this for a long time.

In the morning, when Zheng Qiu saw his sister, he also felt something was different. He couldn't say this kind of difference because he felt his sister was in high spirits. She spoke to him amiably and wasn't as strict as she usually was.

The siblings had previously eaten breakfast together, but they didn't have much interaction. Usually, one of them was looking at his phone while the other was reading the newspaper. However, today, the older sister was talking nonstop.

What kind of magic had caused her sister to become like this? Last night, he had snuck into the celebratory feast, and Li Tian had even clinked a cup with him, but he did not say anything. Could it be that it had nothing to do with Li Tian? But elder sister hasn't come into contact with anyone these past two days.

Carrying a pile of questions, Zheng Qiu followed his sister to the Jade Plate again. Today's stones had been replenished, and the stones that were bought yesterday had already been placed with new stones. The numbers were still the same, but the jadeite ore was already different.

Since he knew that Li Tian was so powerful, if he still did such a despicable thing, it would definitely not be a small matter if he was caught. Even if he did not think for himself, he had to think for the entire Zheng's Jewelry Group.

"I don't need to say much about the mission, just like yesterday, we can do our best to collect the jadeite ore and the jade. As for the price, it will be a little wider, because the Qin Jewelry Group is missing a stone-gambling expert, and their morale is low, so today is a good opportunity for us to increase our battle results. Everyone, don't be lenient, after this session of Jade Plate, everyone take a big break." As the CEO of the company, Zheng Ruyan had absolute authority in the Zheng's Jewelry Group.

Unlike yesterday, what Zheng Ruyan said yesterday was basically just to boost morale. After saying that, Zheng Ruyan brought the group's stone-gambling expert to pick a stone, but today, Zheng Ruyan actually gave the group's head expert to Zheng Qiu, Zheng Ruyan only brought a secretary to look around the field. Zheng Qiu could tell that Zheng Ruyan was just strolling around blindly on the surface, but in fact, it seemed like she was looking for someone.

Zheng Ruyan was indeed looking for Li Tian, but she had found him in the jadeite ore District, and Li Tian was already sitting in the resting area. Just like yesterday, Li Tian had already released his divine sense out, and already knew what kind of stone he would buy from Li Tian.

Although he had bought a lot of jadeite ore s yesterday, this kind of opportunity to make a fortune only came out once every few years, so how could Li Tian possibly let it go? Furthermore, jadeite was a non-renewable resource. This sort of thing could only rise in value and not devalue.

If you were looking for the Mr. Lee, then don't wander around here. Yesterday, he did not appear here. Zheng Qiu appeared behind Zheng Ruyan. When Zheng Ruyan heard her younger brother's words, she immediately gave this fellow a clean eye. This was something that Zheng Ruyan had not seen in a long time.
