Under the light, the droplet-shaped pendant refracted a mesmerizing, lively, and translucent array of colors, like a genuine bead of morning dew, dreamlike in its violet hue,

"This!" Tang Yahui looked at the pendant in Ge Dongxu's hand, covered her mouth in surprise, and her eyes widened dramatically.

She specialized in jewelry and was the manager of jewelry in the Jiang Region, naturally seeing no shortage of masterpieces.

Yet, she could guarantee she had never seen any master finish a simple water droplet pendant with such a dreamlike and spirited polish.

It was an indescribable feeling, truly as if naturally formed, as though the Jade itself was meant to be this way. Especially when Tang Yahui, with trembling hands, took the pendant, the feeling intensified.

Other masters' creations, at most, made her feel a perfect natural formation on the surface, but this piece gave Tang Yahui a deep, thorough sense of natural perfection, as if the droplet had a life of its own.

It was a very subtle sensation.

"It's truly, truly too beautiful!" After a long while, Tang Yahui finally shifted her gaze away from the droplet pendant and then suddenly threw her arms around Ge Dongxu in a hug.

"Thank you! This is the most beautiful, most precious gift I've ever received in my life!"

Ge Dongxu's body stiffened, as he was honestly a bit unaccustomed to Tang Yahui's sudden embrace.

However, the excited Tang Yahui did not realize this at all; she quickly pushed away from Ge Dongxu, then pulled out a platinum chain from a drawer, threaded it through the small hole on top of the pendant, and hurriedly said to Ge Dongxu, "Quick, quick, help me put it on and see."

Seeing how much Tang Yahui cherished the jewelry he had crafted, Ge Dongxu naturally also felt a great sense of accomplishment and happiness, and promptly stepped forward to help her wear it.

There was a small mirror on Tang Yahui's large office desk. After Ge Dongxu helped her put on the Jade pendant, she leaned over slightly in front of the mirror to check the effect.

The dreamlike droplet-shaped violet Jade pendant rested on her chest, radiating an uncommon beauty, which made Ge Dongxu somewhat embarrassed, prompting him to stand by the window looking out.

Seeing Ge Dongxu standing by the window observing the night scene, Tang Yahui then realized he was a gentleman; her fair face blushed slightly, she straightened her posture hurriedly, then smoothed her hair and said again, "Dongxu, really, thank you! I take back what I said before, you are truly a master of Jade sculpting."

"Jade sculpting master?" Ge Dongxu was momentarily stunned, then laughed and shook his head, "Got a needle? Get a drop of blood on the Jade pendant."

How could a mere Jade sculpting master compare with him?

Jade sculpting masters only carved the surface after all.

"Why?" Tang Yahui was suddenly taken aback.

"This Jade pendant isn't just for decoration, it has other effects as well, you'll understand after you drip some blood on it," Ge Dongxu said.

With that, Tang Yahui suddenly remembered Ge Dongxu's extensive work on crafting Jade Tokens; her delicate body quivered slightly, then hastened to say, "Yes, yes."

Speaking, she took a needle from a drawer, but Tang Yahui, the resolute manager, hesitated to prick her own finger, took quite a while before handing the needle to Ge Dongxu, saying, "You do it for me, I can't bring myself to do it."

"Really! To think you're the manager overseeing dozens of people," Ge Dongxu joked, unable to hold back a laugh.

"What, just because I'm a manager, I'm not human? Can't I feel pain? And besides, I am a woman!" Tang Yahui said with a roll of her eyes at Ge Dongxu.

"Alright." Ge Dongxu said as he reached for the needle and quickly pricked her fingertip. Tang Yahui, unaware, had closed her eyes and cautioned, "Be gentle!"

"It's already done," Ge Dongxu said, unable to hold back a laugh. Suddenly, he found it surprising that the usually professional and competent Tang Yahui also had such a feminine side.

"It's done? Why didn't I feel anything?" Tang Yahui opened her eyes in disbelief, only to see blood indeed oozing from her index finger.

"Drip it on the jade pendant," Ge Dongxu instructed.

Tang Yahui did as told, squeezing a drop of blood onto the tear-shaped jade pendant, her eyes growing wider and her face filled with incredulity.

Not only did she see the blood seep into the jade pendant, but she suddenly felt a strange connection with the jade pendant on her chest.

This connection couldn't be seen or touched, but she could feel it.

Even in the height of summer, the jade pendant against her made her feel cool all over.

"This is amazing! Could this be the body protection jade amulet often mentioned in novels that can protect one from knives, guns, and ensure survival even in a car accident?" Tang Yahui exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Ge Dongxu.

"You've read too many novels. This is a body protection jade amulet, alright, but it's not that mystical. It's mainly for warding off evil spirits and protecting the wearer from minor accidents, not bullets or car crashes," Ge Dongxu said with a laugh.

He was only at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and had carved just a basic body protection formation; it couldn't be that powerful. However, the two jade amulets that had been refined with his lifebound essence might have such strong protective abilities.

After all, they had been refined with the sacrifice of his own lifebound essence, making their power incredibly strong.

But they could only withstand damage once!

Also, because the body protection jade amulets without essence blood had average effects, mainly warding off evil spirits, Ge Dongxu had only made eight such ornaments, planning to gift them to his parents and grandparents, as well as Liu Jiayao, Jiang Lili, and Yuan Li—three women with whom he had close relationships. Speaking of which, he had not yet bought them a proper gift until now.

As for Tang Yahui, it was more like she benefited incidentally. After all, Ge Dongxu had bought a lot of jade from her before, and she had helped him contact Zhang Yakun for this trip to the border. Plus, she had arranged for her office's carving room, so it would be impolite not to make one for her.

"Oh!" Tang Yahui said with an embarrassed smile, then added, "But it's still magical. I seem to be able to feel the jade pendant."

"Naturally, you dripped your blood into it. Jade merchants often say jade nourishes a person, right? Even though that nourishment, if it exists, is minuscule and imperceptible. However, once this jade has absorbed your blood, it'll constantly protect you, keeping unclean things away from you, which indeed can nourish you," Ge Dongxu explained with a smile.

"You mean, this jade also has anti-aging and beautifying effects?" Tang Yahui asked excitedly.

"Pretty much, it should at least slow down your aging process," Ge Dongxu smiled.

Which woman doesn't want to stay young forever? Especially since Tang Yahui was already over thirty—though she was radiant with a mature charm that could outshine younger girls, such an age is fleeting. A tiny lack of care could turn her into a middle-aged woman in just a few years.

So hearing that the jade could slow down aging, Tang Yahui felt even more excited than she did about the amulet's ability to ward off evil, repeatedly thanking Ge Dongxu, "Thank you so much, Dongxu. If I were just a few years younger, I would definitely cling to you!"

"Ahem!" Caught by surprise, Ge Dongxu gave an awkward cough, which caused Tang Yahui, in a great mood, to giggle.
