Chapter 309: Chapter 89: Unlocking the Treasure

After Ai Xiang left, Gu Xiaoxi grabbed Quan Shaoqing’s arm and made him sit properly. She wanted to check the wound on his shoulder.

"I told you it’s nothing, but you won’t believe me. This kind of injury is nothing to me!" Quan Shaoqing grabbed her hand, pulling her petite body into his embrace.

"If you won’t let me see it, there must be something wrong. Did you apply medicine to it?" Unable to resist him, Gu Xiaoxi leaned into his firm chest, feeling helpless.

"I applied a bit of medicine earlier. I’m a man, I’m not that delicate." Quan Shaoqing held her, feeling particularly at ease.

Yet, Gu Xiaoxi would not settle down and snorted coldly, "Fine, I won’t look then. But it’s getting late, and we haven’t had dinner yet."

"Then I’ll cook for you," Quan Shaoqing said with a smile, patting her head.

No sooner had he spoken than Ai Xiang’s shout came from above, "Don’t forget to make my portion too. I’m starving."

Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Shaoqing looked up at the same time and couldn’t help but lose words, "A thousand-watt light bulb!"

The dinner was pan-fried steak, and of course, the indispensable red wine.

Everyone was eyeing his wine cellar, especially those priceless and rare vintage collections.

Ai Xiang shamelessly opened a bottle that night, with the excuse "to celebrate the blissful and happy life of the married couple."

The blessing amused Quan Shaoqing, so he let it be.

Gu Xiaoxi also liked Quan Shaoqing’s fine wines, so she drank a few extra glasses herself.

After dinner, Ai Xiang took the remaining half bottle of wine and went off to drink alone.

Quan Shaoqing and Gu Xiaoxi took the treasures they had acquired that day to the study.

The construction materials of Quan Shaoqing’s study were very special, not only soundproof and bulletproof, but also capable of suppressing outbursts of power.

Therefore, it was very suitable for opening treasures.

Gu Xiaoxi carefully took out the Jade Slip and placed it on the table in front of her.

Quan Shaoqing stood by, looking at the worn and dark Jade Slip with a serious expression, "Xiao Xi, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with this thing? It won’t cause you any discomfort?"

"It won’t. I tested it in the car earlier. Now I’m going to activate it. If you feel uncomfortable, you should leave for a bit."

Quan Shaoqing naturally didn’t dare to watch. Previously, a strand of golden light nearly triggered the spell inside him. If he stayed, who knows what might happen. So he said to Gu Xiaoxi, "Then I’ll step out. If anything happens, just ring the bell beside you, and I’ll come right over."

"Okay!"

Quan Shaoqing left the room, standing at the doorway looking at Gu Xiaoxi, his eyes brimming with tenderness. From a clueless little girl, she had grown into an expert capable of standing on her own. Her growth was as rapid as bamboo shoots after rain, so fast that it almost left him in the dust.

Quan Shaoqing closed the door of the study and walked away.

Then, he went to Ai Xiang’s room.

On the small balcony, Ai Xiang sat in a rocking chair, a wine glass in hand, casually crossing her legs, seemingly savoring the wine, yet as if lost in thoughts of someone.

"Is the wine really that good?" Quan Shaoqing approached and curiously asked.

"You don’t understand. It carries a hint of mellowness, most likely to arouse the tenderness in a man’s heart," Ai Xiang replied indifferently, rocking in the chair.

Under the moonlight, Ai Xiang had an indescribable sadness, drinking in the direction of the moon, looking as though she was troubled by something.

Quan Shaoqing sat opposite him and asked with a smile, "So, what did you think of?"

"A girl!"

"Pfft! When did you start dating? I didn’t know that," Quan Shaoqing asked curiously.

"When I was very young, I met a beautiful little girl. It’s been seven or eight years since I last saw her. I don’t know if I’ll ever have the chance to see her again in this lifetime," Ai Xiang said with a tone full of regret.

Quan Shaoqing looked up at the silver moon and couldn’t help but laugh, "I didn’t expect that you also had someone you liked."

"What’s that supposed to mean? You’re allowed to flaunt your love, but I can’t have someone to miss?"

"Alright, let’s talk about something serious. Why is it that when Xiao Xi and I are together, the spell doesn’t cause trouble? But when we’re apart, it often hurts," Quan Shaoqing changed the subject, his face growing serious.

After thinking, Ai Xiang laughed, "The trigger for the Prohibition Clear Curse is longing. The more you miss someone, the more severe the backlash becomes."

"So you’re saying, if I’m often with her, there won’t be any problem?" Quan Shaoqing asked.

He and Ai Xiang were old friends and about the same age; moreover, he was a doctor. One could say that he understood Quan the best in this world.

"You could say that. But what’s most important is, don’t keep missing her," Ai Xiang replied. Suddenly, he stood up from the rocking chair, sat next to Quan Shaoqing, and staring sleazily at him, asked, "Have you two...?"

Quan Shaoqing knew what he was about to ask and immediately extended his hand, slapping it over Ai Xiang’s mouth, his expression cold, "Whether we have or haven’t, why should I tell you?"

"Hey, Prohibition Clear Curse isn’t about celibacy. Don’t tell me you haven’t gotten laid yet!" Ai Xiang could tell there was something off by his expression, and couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.

Quan Shaoqing wished he could shut that mouth for good, so damn annoying.

He respected his wife, with the marriage certificate in hand, he could eat meat whenever he wanted.

After Quan Shaoqing left, Gu Xiaoxi gathered all her Spiritual Energy in her palm, then spread it evenly over the entire Jade Slip.

"Pop!" A crisp sound, like Crystal breaking, very pleasant to the ear.

Following that, the whole Jade Slip was enveloped in a golden radiance, and soon the light grew larger, quickly illuminating the room like sunshine.

Gu Xiaoxi looked on in shock at everything unfolding. She stared at the Jade Slip, and soon the flora engraved on it seemed to come to life, exuding vigorous vitality.

It was Spiritual Energy!

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes widened in surprise, her breathing quickened. This was very pure, rich Spiritual Energy.

It felt like water from Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara’s cleansing bottle, filled with purification and the essence of life.

Gu Xiaoxi felt as if she was bathing in a holy light. The warm stream of Spiritual Energy wrapped around her, causing transformative changes in her body.

Then, she let out an incredulous shout; she actually felt this pure power entering her body, nourishing her bones. The white Bone was undergoing a transformation in quality.
