Chapter 377 The Secret of the Dragon-Shaped Jade Pendant

Hua Ruyi chuckled, her charm captivating all.

"What's wrong, handsome? Are you afraid I'm poisonous? Come on, touch it, it's so smooth."

As Hua Ruyi spoke, she reached out and pinched Cao Erdan's hand, sliding it back and forth on her other arm.

Cao Erdan touched it, and it really was as smooth as jade.

He was so close to Hua Ruyi that his nose was filled with her fragrance.

Cao Erdan's heart skipped a beat.

Quickly regaining his composure, he pushed away those slender fingers:

"Okay, let's get serious. What do you want from me?"

Hua Ruyi covered her mouth and laughed:

"Who would have thought that this handsome young man, who's not afraid of killing, is actually quite shy!"

Cao Erdan retorted angrily, "Shy my ass! I just don't like being molested by women. Don't think you're so great just because you're pretty. I've seen plenty of pretty girls. Speak properly, and stop with that affected voice!"

"..."

Hua Ruyi's smile vanished immediately after he scolded her.

He glared at Cao Erdan.

That brat has absolutely no sense of romance.

She thought she had won over the situation by using her looks, but Cao Erdan wasn't buying it.

He truly is an extraordinary man.

This time, Hua Ruyi was much more composed and no longer flaunted her charms.

"Alright, since we're both sensible people, let's get straight to the point. I'm here for the dragon-shaped jade pendant!"

Cao Erdan nodded:

"Okay, I'll tell you too, I spent 100 million to buy it, and I just want to study it!"

"Sell it to me, and I'll add another twenty million!"

Cao Erdan laughed:

Do you think I'm someone who needs 20 million?

Hua Ruyi bit her upper lip: "I can use 20 million to bribe an assassin to kill you, without having to spend 100 million!"

Cao Erdan snorted:

"I can kill you without spending a penny, you can try!"

Seeing that the boy was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, Hua Ruyi couldn't help but laugh again:

"I was just kidding, young man. Think about it this way: I've come all this way, I can't leave empty-handed. Name your conditions, it would be best if we could resolve this peacefully and not disturb anyone else! It wouldn't be good if it scared the beauty in your family!"

Indeed, it was despicable.

Cao Erdan was afraid of her bringing up the very things she wanted to mention.

But since he can say it outright, he can be considered a true villain, better than a hypocrite.

Cao Erdan said:

"Sister, you are as beautiful as a flower. Just looking at you makes me hard all over, so I don't want to go against you."

Hua Ruyi was amused and laughed heartily, tears welling up in her eyes.

Reach out and touch Cao Erdan's arm:

"It's quite hard. Is it like this elsewhere too? You're quite interesting, kid. Okay, tell me."

Her eyes were full of smiles, showing no sign of hostility.

However, Cao Erdan knew that she must have come prepared if she dared to come alone.

It's impossible to drive her away with just a few words.

Cao Erdan said it directly:

"What I want to know now is the origin of this jade and its purpose. If you explain it clearly, then even if it's a billion or eight hundred million, it won't be a big deal!"

Hua Ruyi clapped her hands and cheered:

"Young man, you are indeed very straightforward. Then I won't hold back anymore. Show me the jade, and I'll explain everything to you in detail!"

Even though the other party was a woman, Cao Erdan wasn't afraid of her tricks.

He took out the dragon-shaped jade pendant directly from his storage ring.

Hua Ruyi took it and looked at it from left to right:

"Yes, it is indeed the Dragon Blood Jade!"

"Dragon blood? What does that mean?"

Hua Ruyi said:

"There is a legend in our Tantric Buddhist sect that there was a dragon race in ancient times, but it was regarded as a demon race by the gods who ruled the world."

In a century-long war, the dragon race was wiped out by the gods.

However, it is said that a single lineage of the dragon clan was left behind and fell to the human world.

Moreover, he left behind two jade pendants.

One of them contains the bloodline of the clan's great god and is the key to unlock the secret realm he lost.

The other part contains inherited skills, which can only be activated by the blood of his sole descendant.

Upon hearing this, Cao Erdan was struck dumb, as if by lightning.

what?

The jade pendant I've worn since childhood was left behind by the Dragon Clan's patriarch?

Could I be a descendant of the dragon race?

Although many questions were in his mind, he did not show them.

After all, what Hua Ruyi knew was what had been passed down in their religion, and she herself didn't know much.

Hua Ruyi didn't notice Cao Erdan's change and continued speaking:

"This piece is the key to unlocking the Dragon Clan's secret realm and the tomb of the Dragon Clan's great god!"

The other piece, also a dragon-shaped jade pendant, has an invisibility function; only its wearer can see it.

To the others, it was either nothing at all, or just an ordinary broken chain.

So, no one knows where that piece of land is to this day!

Upon hearing this, Cao Erdan couldn't help but recall how, during a difficult time, he had once told his sister-in-law that he would sell the jade pendant around his neck to get money.

Wang Xue'e once said, "Your broken chain wouldn't even be picked up if it fell on the ground, so don't talk nonsense!"

He was puzzled. The jade pendant was clearly flawless, and he figured it could be exchanged for two bags of rice.

Why would my sister-in-law look down on me so much?

I thought my sister-in-law was doing it for my own good, preventing me from selling the jade pendant I'd worn since childhood.

Now that Hua Ruyi is saying this, could it be that the jade pendant that has been integrated into his bloodline is invisible?

To others, he was just wearing a broken chain, and they couldn't see the jade pendant hanging from it.

No wonder that this dragon-shaped jade pendant was sought after by many people, while his own dragon-shaped jade had been ignored since childhood.

Since this piece of jade is related to my background, I can't just give it away to someone else.

Cao Erdan asked Hua Ruyi:

"So you want to get this jade first, so you want to use it to enter the Dragon Clan's secret realm?"

Hua Ruyi nodded and said:

"The Dragon Clan's Secret Realm is full of fantasy and is even richer in treasures than the legendary Shennong Secret Realm."

All cultivators in the world yearn to enter this ancient divine realm.

However, simply having a dragon-shaped jade pendant is not enough.

To this day, the location of the secret realm has not been determined.

Last month, we received news in the Western Regions that there were dragon relics near Liangcheng.

It's very likely that the secret realm is located in Daliang City.

But at that moment, the dragon-shaped jade pendant went missing.

I came here to ask you for this jade pendant, actually to reclaim what belongs to us.

"If you give it to me, it's returning it to its rightful owner."

Cao Erdan wanted to spit in her face.

That's incredibly arrogant of you. Returning the item to its rightful owner—are you a descendant of the dragon race?

However, Cao Erdan did not turn against him.

She said, "Sister Hua, you know so much! Could you add me to your search for the Dragon Clan's secret realm together?"

Cao Erdan had a dragon realm in his mind.

He didn't know if it had anything to do with the Dragon Clan's Secret Realm.

With Cao Erdan's current status, making money is an easy thing for him.

So money isn't his desire, and it doesn't motivate him much.

The development of rural areas is entirely due to a deep affection for one's homeland.

This prompted him to want to improve the lives of the villagers in Hetang Village.

His own desire, however, was to cultivate the Dragon Realm to its peak.

Perhaps at that time, they will possess extraordinary abilities, capable of moving mountains and filling seas.

That is the highest realm I pursue.

However, we cannot abandon the development of the mountain village because of this.

He said to Hua Ruyi:

"If you trust me, go back first. I'll come find you in Liangcheng, Western Regions, a week later, and we'll cooperate!"

As he spoke, he reached out to take the dragon-shaped jade pendant from Hua Ruyi's hand.

But Hua Ruyi wouldn't let go:

"How can I trust you?"
