Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

She had just passed by an antique shop, and Xue Rong told her that there was something she needed there, so she was going to buy it now!

As soon as she entered the antique shop, the shelves were filled with a dazzling array of antiques, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

"Sir, is this your first time visiting our shop? I can tell you have an extraordinary air about you; you must know your stuff." The shopkeeper, with his sharp eyes, noticed Shen Yunxi's elegant attire and immediately greeted her with a beaming smile: "Our shop has quite a collection of treasures, from ancient artifacts to folk wonders, we have everything. Please feel free to browse, and just let me know whichever item catches your eye, and I'll fetch it for you to examine closely."

Just as Shen Yunxi was about to speak, Xue Rong's voice came from beside her.

“Master, it’s the jade pendant on that shelf over there,” Xue Rong said.

Shen Yunxi's gaze lingered on a pure white jade pendant.

The jade pendant has an ancient and simple design, carved with a phoenix spreading its wings as if about to take flight, exuding a faint spiritual aura, which seems to resonate with the spiritual power within her body.

"Shopkeeper, could you please take that jade pendant down over there so I can take a look?" Shen Yunxi pointed.

The shopkeeper followed her gaze and immediately recognized the jade pendant. He bowed and scraped, saying, "Oh my, Miss, you have a good eye! This is one of our shop's prized possessions. The carving is exquisite, and it exudes a captivating spiritual energy. It's clear at a glance that you are a connoisseur!"

As he spoke, he carefully removed the jade pendant and gently wiped it with a soft silk cloth: "Look, the texture of this jade pendant is warm and delicate, and it feels cool to the touch. It is clearly carved from the finest mutton-fat white jade. The phoenix is ​​carved so lifelike, as if it is about to take flight at any moment. It is truly a masterpiece!"

He handed the jade pendant to Shen Yunxi: "Miss, please don't hesitate, this jade pendant is definitely worth more than its price!"

Shen Yunxi gently stroked the warm surface of the jade pendant, feeling the spiritual energy flowing within it. She looked up at the shopkeeper, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible expectation: "Shopkeeper, I really like this jade pendant. May I ask how much it costs?"

She paused, then added, "If the price is right, I'll buy it."

Shen Yunxi observed the shopkeeper's expression, trying to deduce the true value of the jade pendant. She knew that treasures with spiritual energy like this were often very valuable.

The shopkeeper sized up Shen Yunxi, noticing her composed and unflappable expression, and couldn't quite fathom the depth of her affection for the jade pendant. A thought flickered in his mind: this lady seemed to possess an extraordinary air about her, and surely she wasn't short of money.

So he held up a finger and waved it in front of Shen Yunxi, his face full of smiles, but his tone was deliberately deep: "Not much, one thousand taels." He paused, observing Shen Yunxi's reaction, and added: "This is the lowest price, Madam. If you are sincere in wanting to buy, I will take the liberty of giving you this price."

He rubbed his hands together and continued, "This is top-quality mutton-fat jade. Coupled with its exquisite carving and spiritual energy, a thousand taels is definitely worth more than its price!"

He stared at Shen Yunxi expectantly, awaiting her response.

"Ten taels." Shen Yunxi said calmly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter. She slightly raised her eyelids, her gaze calmly fixed on the shopkeeper, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Shopkeeper, this jade pendant is nice, but it's not worth a thousand taels. Ten taels is my highest price. If you think it's acceptable, I'll buy it."

It was lodged in her throat...
