Allure of a Country Maiden-Chapter 271 - 269

Wan Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shangguan Xuanyi finally return from the ship.

He thought Young Master Shangguan had forgotten about him.

"Young Master Shangguan, is someone coming to rescue us?"

"Mm." Shangguan Xuanyi took Xiao’er by the wrist and led her towards the place where diamonds were found.

"Young Master Shangguan, who is this young girl?" Wan Fusheng blinked his massive eyes, his lips red, teeth white, with a feminine attractiveness that made him look like a doll. He was gazing curiously at Xiao’er. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Hello, my surname is Shen, you can call me Sister Shen." Xiao’er said cheerfully.

Is this boy mixed-race? He’s so cute! Absolutely adorable!

"Hello Sister Shen! My name is Wan Fusheng. You’re really beautiful, Miss Shen, prettier than Qiuju from our village, who is considered the prettiest!" Wan Fusheng sincerely admired Xiao’er’s tranquil smile.

This young lady is much kinder than Brother Shangguan.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi gave Wan Fusheng a sharp look. He had the audacity to covet his girl.

Wan Fusheng was so frightened that he unconsciously moved closer to Xiao’er. Did he say something wrong? Brother Shangguan’s stare was terrifying.

"What a lovely name your parents have given you, ’surviving great difficulties guarantees future good fortune’. You are sure to be very fortunate in the future. And you are really handsome, with big expressive eyes, long thick eyelashes like little fans, and your skin is soft and fair, like a peeled egg...my absolute type." Xiao’er extended her hand to pinch the boy’s face. He was just too adorable! She always had a fondness for children with big eyes, regardless of gender!

This is the first time she met such a boy with such big, adorable eyes since her time-travel experience.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi’s face fell! He regretted it! He regretted saving this chatterbox!

This girl didn’t show any particular emotion when she first saw him!

And now she finds this chatterbox adorable and even says he’s her favourite type?!

No matter how he looked at it, it was irritating!

Shangguan Xuanyi firmly caught Xiao’er’s outstretched ’salty pig hand’.

Xiao’er turned her head and saw his face, sourer than a rotten egg, and quickly withdrew her hand: "Is this the young boy you saved, Brother Shangguan? He’s so cute!"

"Cute? He’s effeminate!"

"..."

"..."

"Let’s go look at the stone." Shangguan Xuanyi, ignoring the devastated face of the boy, picked up Xiao’er again and went towards the island center.

Xiao’er looked at the heartbroken little boy. Ah, poor boy! But his expression got even cuter!

"Had enough of looking?" Shangguan Xuanyi was angry when he saw her unwilling to withdraw her gaze.

Xiao’er looked up at his sour and dark face, reached out her hand to pinch it, and said with a mischievous smile, "Why are you so grouchy? Who owes you money?"

"From now on, you are not allowed to look at other men!" Shangguan Xuanyi authoritatively declared his authority.

"Jealous!" Xiao’er pouted, not taking his words to heart.

God gave her a pair of knowing eyes, and she would use them to discover beautiful things, especially handsome guys.

"Mmmhmm, I am. So don’t look at them!" Shangguan Xuanyi straightforwardly admitted.

"Rest assured, other men are not as handsome as you. I won’t move on to another. Fusheng is just a kid. You’re needlessly jealous! Besides, handsome people are good for the eyes. When I appreciate handsome men, it is purely for the visual pleasure!"

So, one Wan Fusheng was not enough? She wanted to look at other men? And appreciate them?! Not acceptable!

"Then, you can just look at me to feast your eyes!"

Xiao’er: "..."

No matter how handsome a person is, you would get tired of looking eventually! Seeing his unyielding determination, Xiao’er decided to yield - be a wise man, know when to quit!

Fine! He won!

"Alright, from now on, I will only have eyes for you." It seemed his jealousy had clouded his judgement, he completely missed the point of what she was saying!

She already confessed her love! But he didn’t even realize it. If they keep going like this, he might fill up Mount Jin with his jealousy!

"We’re here!" Shangguan Xuanyi let go of Xiao’er, pleased with her acknowledgement.

"Where are the diamonds? Where are they?" Xiao’er bent over to search the ground.

"I’ve collected all the exposed ones that are visible. We’ll have to dig for the rest."

"Oh, right, I got distracted by all the silver and forgot. I was talking nonsense!" Xiao’er turned to Bai Tian for help. Bai Tian’s treasure-hunting skills were astonishing.

"Bai Tian, you’re even more useful than modern detection instruments." Xiao’er inwardly admired.

"Master, I am a highly intelligent and emotionally smart swan. It’s simply an insult to my intelligence to be compared to tools."

"Right, there’s no comparison! Now tell me where they are, so I can dig. We need to hurry up, we still have to get back."

Di Shaowei arrived as the two of them were passionately digging.

"What are you guys doing? Taking some souvenirs home?"

"Enough talk, hurry up and help. When we finish, we can go home."

Xiao’er tossed him a shovel.

"This island even has this tool? I just went to check the cave and, oh my god, it has everything! No wonder you’re living the high life on this deserted island. But where did all these things come from?" Di Shaowei was surprised, holding the shovel.

"They were originally in the cave." Shangguan Xuanyi blatantly lied.

"But ..." Looking at all the things, it just didn’t feel right.

"But what? You think I flew across the ocean to bring all these things here?" Shangguan Xuanyi retorted.

"Right, if you could do that, you’d have rescued yourself. You wouldn’t have needed to wait for us."

"Brother Shangguan, help dig! Those things were probably left by people who came here to mine diamonds." Xiao’er quickly diverted Di Shaowei’s attention.

"Mining diamonds? You mean these little stones?" Di Shaowei picked up the small cloth bag Xiao’er had put on the ground, taking a look at the variously sized colourful stones inside.

"Mm."

"For jewelry? Compared to pearls, rubies, and such, who’s worth more?" Di Shaowei picked up a stone and held it up to the sun: it was shining brightly.

"That depends on its quality and its appearance after processing. But all women pursue and yearn for the sparkle and brilliance of diamonds; diamonds are forever, a single diamond lasts forever! You men wouldn’t understand."

"I don’t need to understand those things, I just need to know it’s worth money!"

Di Shaowei grew excited after hearing Xiao’er’s words, "I’ll call some people to help dig!"

Xiao’er nodded her head. The sooner they finished digging, the sooner they could leave.

After staying on the island for a day and two nights, they finally finished excavating the raw diamonds.

Xiao’er picked up five small cloth bags, her eyes crinkling with delight. These diamonds weighed at least thirty to forty kilograms in total.

Not to mention the ones still in Brother Shangguan’s ring.

They had really struck it rich!

A diamond of one karat weighs 0.2 grams; tens of kilograms of diamonds! Ah! Ah! Ah! ...

This happiness was so sudden!

Shangguan Xuanyi, looking at Xiao’er’s joy, thought that being washed up on this isolated island wasn’t entirely a bad thing! It also made his stay in the sea, where his flesh had almost rotted due to soaking for three days, seem worth it.
