Chapter 180: Black Jade

~7 min read 1,400 words

Lin Wei naturally noticed the change in Lin Feng's expression, so she asked suspiciously, "Brother, what's wrong? Did you discover a bad guy?"

Ever since she was kidnapped by people sent by Han Yu, Lin Wei had developed a slight psychological trauma, always feeling that she was unsafe wherever she went, and that she would only have a sense of security if she stayed by Lin Feng's side.

Now, seeing that Lin Feng's complexion was off, she naturally associated it with that.

Lin Feng shook his head and said, "No, I might have discovered something good."

"Something good? What kind of good thing?" Lin Wei was incredibly curious.

Lin Feng said, "I don't know yet, let's go, let's go over and take a look."

After saying this, Lin Feng took Lin Wei's slender hand and pulled her as he walked forward.

Before long, following that faint sensation, Lin Feng stepped into an antique shop.

One could see that the shop's decor had quite an ancient atmosphere.

The floor in the shop was made of wood and looked very rough, and the rows of shelves were also of a very old-fashioned style.

Standing in this shop at this very moment, Lin Feng truly had the illusion of having traveled to an ancient world.

"Sir, are you here to look at antiques?"

A female attendant wearing a cheongsam hurried over and asked with a face full of smiles.

"Don't worry about us, I'm just looking around."

Lin Feng said, and then he pulled Lin Wei to search around in this antique shop.

Finally, Lin Feng stood still in front of a row of shelves.

He stared intently at a piece of Black Jade on the shelf, finally able to confirm that the thing he was looking for was this peculiar piece of jade before his eyes.

Because those waves of faint Spiritual Qi fluctuations were being emitted from this black piece of jade.

"Found it."

Lin Feng said with a smile, and then he grabbed this piece of jade into his hand.

"Brother, the thing you wanted to find is this stone? This thing doesn't seem to have anything special about it," Lin Wei asked, completely confused.

Lin Feng, however, did not explain; after all, there was still an attendant in the antique shop, and if the other party knew that this piece of jade was not simple, they would likely demand an exorbitant price.

"Sir, have you chosen your antique? Oh, you actually chose this piece of jade."

That female attendant walked over again, and seeing that Lin Feng was holding this piece of Black Jade in his hand, she revealed a look of surprise.

Lin Feng asked, "Is there something strange about this piece of jade?"

"I don't know the specifics, but our boss said that this piece of jade is extremely ominous," the female attendant said.

"Ominous?"

Lin Feng muttered to himself, and he became even more interested in this piece of Black Jade.

But this female attendant couldn't explain it clearly at all, and it looked like he wouldn't be able to get the information he was interested in from her, so Lin Feng simply said, "How much for this jade? I'll buy it."

"Sir, please wait a moment, this piece of jade has no set price, I will go find our boss now," the female attendant said quickly.

"Then go quickly," Lin Feng waved his hand to urge her.

The female attendant then trotted away, and after only about a few minutes, a middle-aged man wearing a cyan long gown walked down from upstairs with a chuckle.

"So you are the one who wants to buy my jade? What should I call you?" the boss asked.

"My name is Lin Feng," Lin Feng said indifferently.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am the owner of this antique shop, my name is Wang Yulin, you can just call me Boss Wang," Wang Yulin said very enthusiastically.

Lin Feng had no interest in wasting words with this Wang Yulin and asked directly, "For how much will you sell this piece of jade?"

"Mr. Lin, can you tell me first why you want to buy this piece of jade?" Wang Yulin asked.

"That is a very strange question; if I don't answer, will you not sell it to me?" Lin Feng retorted.

"Of course that's not what I meant, I'm just curious, if you really don't want to say, then forget it," Wang Yulin said hurriedly.

Not waiting for Lin Feng to say anything else, Wang Yulin added, "And I am also doing this for your own good; this piece of jade has been stained with several human lives, and I am afraid that if you buy it, you will also die an unexplained death."

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Feng asked with a frown.

Lin Wei then said excitedly, "Does this piece of jade have some kind of curse, and if you buy it, you will be infected by the curse?"

Lin Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Had his younger sister watched too many web dramas? How could her imagination be so wild?

However, to his surprise, Wang Yulin said with a solemn expression, "This piece of jade, I'm afraid it really does have some kind of very vicious curse."

"Don't play riddles with me, just tell me what you know," Lin Feng said impatiently.

Wang Yulin sighed and finally began to explain.

It turned out that this piece of Black Jade first appeared in the hands of two poor boys.

Those two poor boys came from a mountain village, and according to them, they had accidentally picked it up in the mountains and thought it was very peculiar, so they wanted to bring it to the Antique Street in Jinling to sell for money.

As a result, that very afternoon, those two young men from the remote countryside suddenly died of sudden cardiac death on the spot.

Later, this piece of jade was obtained by a collector, but the eerie thing was that only three days later, the entire family of that antique collector died, with every old and young member of the family wiped out.

The Black Jade passed through the hands of many people, but everyone who obtained it would encounter various accidents and die an unexplained death.

Finally, this piece of jade fell into the hands of Wang Yulin.

Wang Yulin, however, did not dare to carry it on his person, but instead placed this piece of jade in the antique shop; from beginning to end, he never dared to touch it, and even warned the shop's attendants not to clean it, lest some unpredictable accident occur.

"I can guarantee that everything I said is the truth, and these matters are not a secret; many people in the Jinling antique circle have heard the rumors about this piece of Black Jade. So, Mr. Lin, are you sure you really want to buy this piece of jade now?"

"If you insist on buying it, I will of course sell it to you, but if any accident happens after you buy the jade, that is not my problem; after all, I have already warned you."

Wang Yulin said very sincerely, and Lin Feng could see that he was not lying or deceiving him, but rather acting out of good intentions.

But after hearing what Wang Yulin had to say, Lin Feng became even more interested in this piece of Black Jade.

"I must buy this piece of jade, name your price," Lin Feng said.

"Alright, since your mind is made up, I won't try to persuade you anymore; give me one million, and you can take this piece of jade away right now," Wang Yulin said.

One million?

This guy really dares to open his mouth like a lion!

But Lin Feng did not care about one million at all; to him, this amount of money was merely a drop in the ocean.

Lin Feng did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately took out his phone to pay the bill; Wang Yulin was all smiles at the sight, while that female server muttered something under her breath about a sucker.

Lin Wei's expression was also a bit strange as she leaned over and said, "Brother, I think you've been scammed by this guy; maybe he deliberately made up a story to get you hooked?"
