BXBX NOVEL Chapter 121
The queen seemed to have a pretty good impression of XunMi. As soon as she saw her, the queen grabbed on without letting go. She only left XunMi when a coordinator requested her presence elsewhere.
XunMi was surprised too by the treatment. She thought the queen would be a fiftysomething old woman. However, the queen was actually pretty young, with a natural aristocratic air. She had dark blue eyes that brought an exotic charm. Her skintight golden suit thoroughly revealed her graceful feminine figure. She was a complete beauty. With the addition of her high status, she was fit to be every man’s female goddess representative.
Whether coincidentally or purposefully, XunMi’s seat was right next toAn ZiYi’s. They looked at each other with animosity. But due to their surroundings, they held in their emotions for the time being.
XunMi’s face was calm but on the inside she was cursing An ZiYi a thousand times over. “BaoBao, should I let An ZiYi believe she’s about to win before I twist things around?” It was satisfying just thinking about it.
BaoBao crouched on XunMi’s shoulder speechless. His Host must be suffering from amnesia. She did the same thing at the previous gemstone betting convention so what’s the point of pretending to be a good person now?
XunMi didn’t know BaoBao was actively criticizing her. She was already thinking of using 18 different torture methods to torment An ZiYi.
But first, she needed to take away her lead halo.It’s best to get rid of that pair of hands, too, to avoid letting her use it in some inappropriate way.
XunMi’s finger tapped lightly on the table in front of her. When her number was called, XunMi stood.
She walked onto the platform. There was ten glass columns on the stage, each holding different stones inside.
It seems that the royal family was putting their own spin on gemstone betting. Based on the stone’s quality and design, participants will first appraise and predict the stone type. Afterwards, they’ll have a chance to physically touch it. Only in the final stages would the participants be allowed to cut the stone. If the original appraisal matched the results after the stone was cut, then that participant would gain the prestige of the royal family’s issued approval certification.
Considering the high prize, it was no wonder this competition was so strict.
This was the best chance to make a name out of yourself. XunMi was already planning to sell the certification. She wasn’t interested in that prestige and certification but she would like some cash. Either way, she already considered the certification her easy prey.
XunMi took a look at each stone while combining their appearances to the knowledge stored in her brain. Planning ahead, she walked to the side and wrote down her predictions.
Afterwards, she carefreely walked down from the stage. It was like she was only here as a visitor rather than an competitor.
An ZiYi bit her lip with envy. It was the same in the last life. No matter what this person did, it was always done in such a carefree manner. She refused to allow her to get away with that attitude in this lifetime. There was no way that the heavens gave her this rebirth opportunity just for her to watch firsthand as that bitch XunMi walked another road to success.
No, no! That couldn’t be true. In the last life, Le ChenXi loved XunMi more than life itself. Now, Le ChenXi loved her. Everything was already different. It was a sign that the heavens were on her side.
As long as she tried a bit harder, she’ll be able to defeat XunMi and Mo gege will be hers.
She straightened her chest and brushed past XunMi as she walked to the stage. Her head lifted high made people raise an eyebrow in her direction.
XunMi’s eyes flashed with suspicion. What did she just do? Why did she feel as if An ZiYi’s hatred just grew?
“Where’s the system’s Good Feelings Measure? Why did it just disappeared after the first world?”
BaoBao choked after hearing XunMi’s words. [Madam Host, did you not notice? Every single time you meet the male and female lead, the good feelings measure and blackening measure would jump up respectively?]
Thus, the system automatically locked the good feelings measure as there was no need for it.
“I didn’t notice. Did it now?” XunMi said in surprise. She really didn’t know.
[It did, it did. Madam Host, look! An ZiYi is about to cause another scene.] BaoBao quickly changed the topic. Madam Host is about to create another scene too.
XunMi looked up to the stage. An ZiYi’s hand was currently placed on the glass. But that didn’t matter. XunMi had already placed a barrier on each of the glass containers while she was on the stage.
Even if An ZiYi was secretly able to touch the stones, she still wouldn’t be able to feel any energy fluctuations from inside.
She turned to look at the other gemstone masters. The first three rows were participating gemstone masters. The middle two rows sat various big names in the gemstone betting world. The last section was for new gemstone betters here to observe. Of course, even the newcomers were all those that had the high status to be invited by the royal family. The first seat of the first row was naturally left for uninvited but warmly welcomed Mo WenHan.
An ZiYi’s movements were obscured so that practically no one saw her. But the change in expression on her face was clear to everyone.
No matter how many times she tried, there was no reaction from the stones. An ZiYi was getting flustered. But she still had the rational to maintain a facade. She angrily walked to the side and wrote down her hesitant guess.
Nothing’s wrong, she comforted herself. She’ll be able to touch the stones soon. Then, she’ll definitely be able to turn the tide. XunMi, just wait. I’ll definitely beat you.
“The first round’s results have been collected. Please begin the second round.” The MC received the books that everyone wrote their answers in and removed the glass covers to fully reveal the stones.
The gemstone betting masters walked up on stage one by one. After carefully observing and touching the stones, each participant stated their updated answer.
Soon, it was XunMi’s turn. XunMi raised an eyebrow and picked up the first brightly glimmering stone.
“This one appears brilliant on the outside but has spider web-like cracks proportioned inside. Therefore, I’ll judge that this is a bleached and filled jadeite.” She picked up another and continued. “This one is polished finely but there are parts with tiny cracks that contradict it. This would also be a filled jadeite.
“This one is too. It looks sleek and glossy. Although the cracks are minimal, but there are many similar jadeite lighting characteristics.”
