Chapter 411: Chu King of Hell Commands the Army!
Chu Yang flipped his wrist and said, "This is for the three of you!" Looking at the three thin jade pieces in his palm, he awkwardly added, "Ahem, they are a bit small... but, ahem, they weren't really that significant to begin with..."
When Chu Yang said this, he felt a bit guilty. They weren't significant; they weren't even as big as a mountain. But... how should he say it? Should he say that the Sword Spirit of my Nine Calamity Sword is stingy and won't give you anything?
However, the three people across from him were already dumbfounded!
Under the sunlight, the three pink jade pieces in Chu Yang's palm emitted a bright red glow, as if they were about to melt in the light, slowly releasing a misty aura…
A warm and gentle energy suddenly enveloped the three of them.
"Mysterious Sun Jade!" Shadow exclaimed, followed by widening his eyes, his four eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets at the same time!
No wonder nothing could grow here! No wonder there was a peak named Pure Yang Peak! Pure Yang, indeed! It turns out there really are such astonishing treasures containing the power of pure yang!
Mysterious Sun Jade! Shadow's eyes filled with tears; such treasures were not merely legends, but truly existed in the world!
Although Tie Butian didn't know what ‘Mysterious Sun Jade’ was, seeing the reactions of the two shadows, he also understood that this small piece of jade must be extraordinary.
"This jade... your majesty can keep it, we cannot take it!" Shadow gazed intently at the Mysterious Sun Jade in Chu Yang's hand and said with difficulty.
"Why?" Chu Yang asked.
"A common man is innocent but holds treasures that invite trouble," Shadow sighed, "We are not like you. You have no attachments and can go wherever, while your majesty is a monarch, deeply involved in state affairs; having such a precious treasure on you wouldn't be a problem. But we both have families. Moreover, every now and then, we must return home..."
Shadow's expression was a bit bitter. There was a saying he didn't express: once the family knows he possesses such a thing, they would certainly want it back. The two of them were already at the Ninth Grade Throne, which was good, but such power was no longer valued in their family.
Furthermore, both of them were already at such an age where their future development was even less regarded by the family. Otherwise, why would they be sent to do this menial task?
"Can't you just keep quiet about it?" Chu Yang asked in surprise. "I’ve already brought it out; do you want me to take it back?"
The two shadows hesitated for a moment and finally decided, "How about this, we shouldn't take it. Since you've said so, we'll keep one piece."
With that, they picked up the smallest and thinnest one; then they took the largest piece and handed it to Tie Butian, but insisted that Chu Yang take back the other piece.
"We can take such a small piece; it's already a great fortune thanks to our ancestors’ virtue," both shadows were very resolute.
As for the piece with Tie Butian, both shadows felt it was only right: after all, she had given up her entire martial path for them and sacrificed the most precious thing a woman possesses; it was completely justified for her to receive a piece of Mysterious Sun Jade to nourish her body.
"Your majesty, this jade is called Mysterious Sun Jade; you can carry it on you to nourish your body, and even your spirit; it also has the effect of moisturizing skin and maintaining appearance. Your state affairs are heavy, and dealing with numerous matters inevitably leads to fatigue. But as long as you have this Mysterious Sun Jade, you will be free from illnesses, and your spirits will always be high; you will never feel tired, and it will not harm your body."
Shadow solemnly reminded, "Your majesty, this jade must never be seen by others; in the future, this piece can also be used as a national treasure!"
"A national treasure?!" Tie Butian, holding the piece of jade and feeling its warmth, was so captivated that she was completely taken aback when she heard Shadow’s words!
