Chapter 58 - 58 58 Jade in Hand

58: Chapter 58 Jade in Hand 58: Chapter 58 Jade in Hand Looking at the artistic pose Ocoro had struck, Zhao Guang didn’t even know how to begin his critique.

Shifting his gaze away from Ocoro, Zhao Guang then said, “I didn’t expect to be accepted so easily.

I underestimated art.” This indirect attention towards Ocoro immediately prompted Ocoro to give a thumbs-up.

This is definitely an artistic style, it seems I still don’t understand it deeply enough.

“Of course, true art is sought after by everyone.

Those who lack the capacity to understand art are trash; there’s no point in wasting words on them.” Clearly, he was referring to Yars.

That guy would always chase and beat him up, the resentment in Ocoro’s heart was incredibly deep.

“Excellent, the development of art cannot do without pioneers like you.

Here’s the material I prepared for you, I’ll get in touch about the paint when I get back,” Zhao Guang said as he took books out of his backpack.

He had prepared these things in advance, and it had now become a habit.

It seemed like coming here without bringing some artistic materials would be somewhat unsatisfactory.

Of course, what Zhao Guang brought was just some images, since the text between the two sides was different.

Zhao Guang didn’t have the time to translate; he couldn’t possibly handwrite everything.

“Fantastic, I never thought it could be played this way; this is simply too amazing.”

What’s going on?

What does he mean “played this way”?

Zhao Guang glanced over and saw some things he couldn’t bear to look at.

Oh no, he should have checked these things in advance to avoid buying the wrong items.

But thinking about those things, he decided to let it be; looking at them too much might make him go blind.

“Come with me, I have something to show you.”

“What, what is it?” Zhao Guang started to sweat nervously, wondering if this guy had prepared some strange new thing again.

Regrettably, his own strength was absolutely incomparable to Ocoro’s.

Don’t be fooled by Ocoro’s appearance, as if he were an untrained ordinary person, but he is also a noble.

Moreover, he’s a noble with a powerful heritage and had received training since young.

Even though he hadn’t cultivated Combat Energy, it was only because he hadn’t focused on it.

But his physical conditioning had long reached the standard necessary to produce Combat Energy.

Right now, Zhao Guang was no match for him.

But soon, Zhao Guang saw those things.

This is Jade, the very thing he had always wanted.

But looking at this Jade, why does it look so strange?

The largest piece in front of him was already carved, and it looked very familiar.

It was a likeness of Ocoro, his seductive posture on this yellow jade seemed almost lifelike.

The few snakes that were painted on it with some unknown paint were just unbearable.

A perfectly good piece of Jade had been wasted like this.

Indeed, in Zhao Guang’s eyes, this piece of Jade had already turned into trash.

It was a relief that the smaller pieces around it hadn’t been ruined in the same way, or else Zhao Guang would have been cursing.

“How about it, I’ve perfectly fused two art forms together.

Just wait until I take it out in a few days; it’ll definitely shock them all.”

It could shock people to death, wondering whether your friends could endure it.

If they really could, that would be truly terrifying.

It seems the art I brought has opened a tremendous door indeed.

I hope that future generations won’t curse me.

It really wasn’t intentional, all because of Ocoro.

“Yes, yes, indeed, it is quite nice.”

“Although this item is good, if you want it, then it’s yours, you are the only one with the ability to appreciate it.”

What, give it to me?

No, thank you, if it hadn’t been processed, it might have been okay, but this processed stuff is a bit distressing.

With that thought, Zhao Guang quickly waved his hands to refuse.

“No, no, no, a gentleman does not take what others appreciate, how could I take this?

I would be happy with other materials.”

“What, what gentleman, what do you mean?” Zhao Guang’s instinctual translation seemed to confuse Ocoro.

“It’s nothing, just a term of address.

What I mean is that this is your work of art, and naturally, you should keep it.

I need to make my own art.

Only the pieces I craft with my own hands can truly be called art.”

“You’re right, it looks like I can’t always rely on others to do the carving for me.

I must learn it myself.

I’ll also need to find someone to do this painting for me.”

Seeing the look in Ocoro’s eyes changing while he looked at him, Zhao Guang got quite a fright.

This guy, he isn’t thinking of having me model for him, is he?

That is certainly not my cup of tea.

“Hahaha, I would really like to help you, but I am very busy.

You need to find someone who can assist you for a longer period, Jack and Hans seem just fine.” Zhao Guang did not hesitate to sell out the two soldiers.

There was no other way, who else did he know well in this military camp but these two soldiers?

The others were not ordinary people and weren’t at Ocoro’s disposal.

Only these two guys, without any significant backing, were just ordinary soldiers—perfect for Ocoro to mess with.

I’m really sorry, Zhao Guang thought, devoid of any sincerity as he mentally apologized to the two men.

“You’re right, those two guys would indeed be suitable.

Well then, you can have these for now.

Come to me when you run out, my friend told me he has a mine full of this stuff, and nobody likes it.”

Even if it was used as building material, they had their own aesthetic preferences and didn’t fancy jade much.

Zhao Guang breathed a sigh of relief, he’d finally managed to bluff his way through.

He quickly moved the items to his tricycle; boy, the vehicle was nearly unable to hold it all.

And the quality, it seemed quite high—the lush green color, along with purple, yellow, or other shades.

Each color was incredibly pure, giving off a very comfortable vibe just by looking at it.

Zhao Guang wasn’t very familiar with appraising jade, but he could tell these weren’t ordinary items.

The only problem was whether these were genuinely jade or something else.

No matter, better to verify when back home.

There were other matters at hand now—the banquet had started.

As expected, Ocoro was caught and beaten up by Yars as soon as the banquet began.

In the end, it was the same as always; wrapped up in cloth all over, he was then carried to the banquet hall.

Zhao Guang wondered if Ocoro would even be at the banquet if it weren’t for his high status and the seemingly good relationship he had with Zhao Guang.

Though Yars disliked Ocoro’s disdainful behavior, he still abided by the nobles’ etiquette.

Only Ocoro, eating and muttering curses indistinctly, seemed never to stop.
