Reborn As Super Heiress-Chapter 1469 - 1453: Jiaoren Egg
Clutching one of the dull gray bricks, Huo Sining suddenly felt a rush of memory, her pupils contracting sharply, her whole body going rigid.
She finally remembered where that familiar sensation came from.
It was the same familiar feeling she had when she first met Su Lan and Qibao, as if something inexplicably strong was pulling at her, identical to what she felt now.
This kind of feeling only occurs when she encounters her own kind.
Huo Sining’s heartbeat sped up a bit, but at the same time, she felt a shock and confusion.
This sensation was a strong feeling brought on by encountering her own kind, the Jiaoren, but now, in front of her was just a pile of bricks.
How could a stone have anything to do with the Jiaoren?
Huo Sining was riddled with questions, her strong curiosity driving her to use her Heavenly Eye to probe into the pile of bricks.
Under the Heavenly Eye, the pile of bricks was laid out before her without reservation, hundreds of them, the vast majority veiled in white cotton ****, hardly any could be cut for gain, but when Huo Sining’s gaze reached the very bottom, she was stunned at the sight of a pure and transparent stone.
It looked like a piece of brick material scarcely better than construction materials, and on the surface, no one would think it was a raw stone, yet within it, where the raw is cut, a small colorless glass-type jadeite was revealed, its crystal-clear jade quality appearing more transparent than glass, not like glass-type, almost like natural crystal.
But looking further inside, Huo Sining’s body suddenly quivered, without thinking she took a step back, staring in shock and horror at the piece of raw material.
What is this?!
Huo Sining’s eyes flickered with doubt, her heart pounding fiercely.
Because within the small colorless glass-type jadeite, she had seen an oval object.
The object looked like an egg.
Since the size of the brick material was about ten kilograms, the oval object was about four or five kilograms, slightly smaller than a football, embedded within the raw material, surrounded by small colorless glass-type jadeite.
The color of the object was light blue, resembling the shell of a bird’s egg or turtle’s egg.
But what shocked Huo Sining was not the color of this object; it was when she used the Heavenly Eye skill, she distinctly saw a dark brown thing hidden inside the oval object’s shell.
And the moment she looked through the object, that thing seemed to quiver slightly!
The thing was moving!
Even though it was just a slight movement, Huo Sining was certain it was not an illusion.
The thing was indeed moving, like a heartbeat.
To ensure what she just saw was not an illusion, Huo Sining braced herself again to reach toward the bricks.
But this time, her focus was entirely on the piece of small colorless jadeite raw material.
Through the delicate and smooth glass-type jadeite, an egg-like oval object indeed appeared.
With mental preparation, Huo Sining did not flinch in fright this time but directly looked into the egg-like object.
At this sight, Huo Sining was frozen all over.
Inside the egg, there was indeed a dark brown band-like thing, curled like a fetus, with a head, tail, and even fins, and faint scales visible on its surface.
These features all proved the identity of the thing inside the egg.
Huo Sining’s heart trembled, suddenly recalling what Su Lan once told her.
When Su Lan’s sister escaped from Cang Hai, she had just hatched.
Hatch...
If it was hatching, does it mean that Jiaoren were actually born from eggshells?
Recalling the strong familiar feeling she had just experienced, Huo Sining realized almost instantly that the egg within that jadeite must share the same attributes as her.
Moreover, the thing inside the egg had a heartbeat; although the frequency was very slow, when Huo Sining confirmed again, she saw the dark brown band-like placenta move slightly.
The egg is alive!
Huo Sining was stunned, unable to understand how this egg was surrounded by a jadeite raw material, nor could she fathom how it survived trapped inside the jadeite.
There were many doubts, but Huo Sining knew this was not the time for answers; the immediate priority was to purchase this piece of jadeite raw material with the egg.
Her heart stirred slightly, she looked up at Mr. Bai: "Boss Bai, how much are you selling this pile of bricks for?"
Though Boss Bai stood in the yard attending to other customers, his eyes never left Huo Sining, puzzled by her going to the corner to dig through the pile of bricks. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Choosing raw materials, there’s a big difference between picking early and late; for those betting stones, seizing the initiative is most important.
That’s why, when new goods arrived at his betting stone shop, he would inform familiar guests first.
Picking new goods versus buying leftovers from others, the odds of a profitable cut are not the same.
But Huo Sining didn’t go for the new goods in the yard, instead running to the corner to fiddle with the unwanted bricks, leaving Boss Bai struggling to comprehend her peculiar behavior.
"Those are bricks from several years ago, sitting there unsold; usually, we give them away for free as a bonus to stone buyers, but no one wants them,"
Boss Bai couldn’t help but explain, "Miss Huo, those bricks aren’t worth gambling on. If you really want to gamble, take a look at my new goods here; I can offer you a little discount."
Huo Sining smiled and shook her head: "Boss Bai, you’re an honest man, so I won’t beat around the bush. I’m not interested in your new goods; I only want this pile of bricks. Since these bricks are usually given as a bonus, let’s do this – I’ll take the whole pile, just name a price."
Huo Sining was certain the egg inside the brick material was related to her, so she was eager to buy that raw material back.
But if she specifically asked for the egg-containing raw material alone, Mr. Bai, being shrewd, might set a high price, or even refuse to sell.
So when she said she wanted to buy bricks, she didn’t specify a piece but indicated she wanted the entire pile.
