Reborn As Super Heiress

”Miss Huo, what’s wrong with you?”

Yang Xiaohan noticed that Huo Sining’s face had suddenly turned deathly pale, as if something was wrong, and couldn’t help but ask worriedly.

”I’m fine.”

Huo Sining shook her head. Fortunately, when that ominous energy surged into her body just now, the Spiritual Energy from the Azure Pearl rushed out to protect her, otherwise she might have been in trouble.

Taking the flashlight, Huo Sining carefully examined the piece of Ancient Jade on the tablecloth.

This piece of Ancient Jade was a relief carving, depicting two phoenixes with intertwined necks singing long songs, crafted with exquisite skill using the relief technique. The feathers on the phoenix’s tail were clearly visible, the texture carved with precision, lifelike and full of charm.

Even more rare, there was a Blood-Soaked coloring on this piece of Ancient Jade. The color was very pure, and the infiltration appeared prominently on the phoenix’s head. The entire jade pendant was very beautiful, and judging by the Spiritual Energy and warmth, this jade pendant should be a Han Dynasty Ancient Jade.

However, looking at the smooth surface and the coloring, this jade isn’t a familiar pit jade pendant; rather, it’s something just recently unearthed. If it had truly been from a familiar pit, the jade would have been polished for a considerable time, and the surface infiltration and smoothness wouldn’t look like this.

This situation made Huo Sining feel very curious, so she directed the flashlight onto this jade pendant. Just as the light hit it, Huo Sining’s heartbeat couldn’t help but accelerate, her breath instantly becoming heavier.

Under the flashlight’s illumination, this jade looked gentle and glossy, as if it contained life within. More importantly, at the moment the light hit it, a fiery red and a green light swam within the jade. The two beams of light intertwined at their necks and entangled like living entities, clearly resembling two phoenixes.

This is... Luanfeng Heming!

Huo Sining felt a chill in her heart. Luan and Feng are both types of the divine bird Phoenix, the red one called Feng, the green one called Luan. The two birds, one male and one female, intertwining at their necks symbolizes marital harmony.

”Couple at night, together by day, the Phoenix flies, harmoniously singing clang clang,” this thousand-year-old jade pendant before her eyes is precisely the legendary Phoenix Harmony Jade Pendant, an item only ancient empresses were permitted to wear!

Huo Sining’s eyelid couldn’t help but twitch, this jade is definitely not an ordinary burial item!

Huo Sining subconsciously cast a secretive glance at the Old Granny. Earlier, she only vaguely had some premonition and speculation, but now she can completely confirm that this Old Granny is definitely a member of that tomb raiding gang!

”Old Granny, how much for this Ancient Jade?”

Since the person brought this jade pendant to her doorstep, there’s no reason to let them slip away again.

Huo Sining looked at the Old Granny without showing any emotion. Sure enough, when she asked how much the jade cost, a trace of delight flashed in the Old Granny’s eyes.

These people are really cunning, they know to spread the items sold all over the country. This approach is indeed much safer, but unfortunately, they didn’t expect to encounter an exception like Huo Sining, who could see through the Old Granny’s identity through the black ominous energy.

”Since you fancy this jade pendant, young lady, I won’t lie to you. Seeing your discerning eye at the Ghost Market earlier, it’s clear you’re an expert. This jade pendant’s origin probably can’t be concealed from you. This item has just been unearthed; you naturally understand the risk involved. If you really want it, name your price. How about that?”

A shrewd gleam flashed in the Old Granny’s eyes as she held out six fingers.

Such a jade pendant certainly can’t be bought for six hundred thousand, but it’s not worth six million either. If properly handled and polished for a few more years, allowing the infiltration and smoothness to become more refined, the price naturally becomes different. But now, given the pendant’s appearance, six hundred thousand is barely an appropriate price.

”Six hundred thousand is a bit steep. Getting this item out through normal channels isn’t a simple matter.”

Huo Sining said with a smile, sounding as if she was quite taken with the jade piece.

The Old Granny seemed to have anticipated Huo Sining would say this, confidently looking at her and smiling:

”For people like you, how can there be no channels to clean these things? Seeing the High Ice Type Jadeite Bangle worth millions you casually wear on your wrist, it’s clear you’re a wealthy daughter from some big family. It’s not just this jade pendant, even the Imperial Jade Seal wouldn’t be too hard to clean in your hands, right?”

Huo Sining’s expression didn’t change, but she cursed silently in her heart; what a sharp eye this Old Granny has!

From the moment she followed the Old Granny to this alley, Huo Sining hardly said a word, yet this Old Granny could discern Huo Sining’s unusual status. Such precise instinct in appraising people was terrifyingly impressive! No wonder she pulled Huo Sining aside in the street; it seems she had already identified Huo Sining as wealthy.

Huo Sining looked at the Phoenix Harmony Jade Pendant on the tablecloth. Under the flashlight’s illumination, a Luan and Feng appeared intermittently, spiraling and dancing, seemingly about to break out from its confines.

”If that’s the case, then forget it.”

Huo Sining pretended to be reluctantly disinterested, pulling Qibao and Yang Xiaohan as they turned to leave.

It was already three in the morning now, and many stallholders on Ghost Market Street began to close their stalls, with collectors also losing enthusiasm, all heading out of the street.

Upon hearing Huo Sining say she wasn’t buying it, the Old Granny’s face changed immediately. If this deal fell through, they’d be out of money even for food. If it weren’t for the item in the suspended coffin, she wouldn’t have risked so much to appear at the Ghost Market.

She had observed the street carefully for several nights to find a suitable buyer like Huo Sining.

This girl Huo Sining seemed young, likely immature, and not very shrewd. Even if she suspected them, she probably wouldn’t think of calling the police. Moreover, the expensive jewelry she wore suggested her wealth, and having a child by her side clearly made her the perfect buyer.

But now, seeing Huo Sining dismiss the price as too high, the Old Granny felt anxious.

She had only two choices: Either lower the price and let Huo Sining buy the jade pendant, temporarily securing the living expenses for their group, meaning selling the jade pendant cheaply.

Or let the deal fall through, allowing Huo Sining and her company to leave. But then their group would go hungry, and she’d have to stay on this street, waiting for another suitable buyer, not knowing how long until one appeared.

”Wait, young lady, I’ll give you a fifty thousand discount, how about it?”

The Old Granny thought for a moment before suddenly grabbing Huo Sining’s arm and anxiously saying, ”Young lady, this line of work is not easy. If I truly wasn’t at the point where I couldn’t even afford to eat, I wouldn’t part with it. I’m not lying, if you handle this jade pendant well, selling it for a million or two isn’t a problem.”
