208: Chapter 208: The Best Birthday Gift 208: Chapter 208: The Best Birthday Gift “Doctor Fang, since you’ve co to Cousin Ruhua’s birthday party, you must have prepared a birthday gift.
I wonder what it could be?
I’m really looking forward to it!”
Just then, Dongfang Xing, Ruhua’s elder cousin, suddenly spoke up in a strange tone.
He knew Fang Bai had co as Su Linglong’s “bodyguard” and had arrived empty-handed.
If Fang Bai couldn’t produce a gift for Dongfang Ruhua, it would inevitably lead to ridicule from the guests present.
Earlier, he had egged on Wang Dong from the Wang Family to provoke Fang Bai, but it was unsuccessful.
If he could embarrass Fang Bai now, he would feel a small thrill of satisfaction.
“Big brother, brilliant!
Truly brilliant!”
Dongfang Chen knew that his elder cousin was deliberately being malicious, seeking to embarrass Fang Bai in front of all the guests, and he couldn’t help but give a quiet thumbs-up in approval.
“Big brother, I’m already very happy that you ca.
I don’t want any gifts!”
Although Dongfang Ruhua was sowhat naïve, she wasn’t foolish.
Seeing Fang Bai co empty-handed, she hurriedly shook her head and gestured with her hands, feeling a little disappointed inside.
Su Linglong, noticing Fang Bai’s astonished expression, beca anxious.
She quickly stepped down from the main stage, intending to subtly hand a pair of jade bracelets she was wearing on her wrist to Fang Bai so he could re-present them to Dongfang Ruhua.
The jade bracelets on her wrist were also crafted from superior jade, worth hundreds of thousands.
Giving them to Dongfang Ruhua would not be disgraceful.
Fang Bai saw Su Linglong’s gesture and understood her intentions.
He smiled, waved his hand, and then walked up to the main stage to stand in front of Dongfang Ruhua.
“I ca in a rush this ti and didn’t bring anything nice.
This pearl was sothing I found in the mountains before.
It’s of no use to , so I’ll give it to you as a gift…”
Fang Bai’s right hand reached for the Spatial Ring on his left hand, while he said to Dongfang Leiming, “Old Master Dongfang, could you please have soone turn off all the lights in the grand hall?”
Dongfang Leiming, excited to see his life-saving benefactor Fang Bai in such a setting, did not ask why and imdiately signaled a family mber to turn off the lights.
The other guests, seeing Fang Bai’s secretive manner, wondered what trick he was about to perform and stared at him with wide eyes.
Click—
A soft sound was heard as a mber of the Dongfang Family pulled the main switch of the grand hall.
In an instant, all the lights in the grand hall went out, plunging the venue into darkness, and so of the more timid won couldn’t help but let out a gasp.
Dongfang Ruhua held her breath and widened her eyes, trying to make out Fang Bai standing before her.
She was worried that once the lights ca back on, Fang Bai would have disappeared.
Suddenly, a soft glow appeared in the darkness.
The light, initially the size of an egg, gradually spread out, eventually illuminating half of the hall.
So of the guests noticed that the source of the light was an egg-sized, oval pearl cradled in the palm of Fang Bai’s hand.
Upon closer inspection, the pearl was crystal clear, resembling a piece of white crystal.
Guests bathed in its light felt as if they were subrged in cool water, experiencing a comfortable sensation throughout their bodies.
“A Luminous Pearl!
It’s a Luminous Pearl!”
Among the guests, those who were knowledgeable couldn’t help but exclaim aloud upon sighting the pearl.
“A Luminous Pearl?
For real?”
“I’ve seen a Luminous Pearl before, but I’ve never seen one that emits light like this!
As for whether it’s real or fake…
I’m not sure…”
“I think it must be real!
A fake Luminous Pearl wouldn’t emit such a soft glow, and the way it lights up is different too…”
“Strange, my pain seems to have lessened a lot after being illuminated by that Luminous Pearl…
Could it be an illusion?”
“It shouldn’t be, I have that feeling too…”
…
The guests on site began to speak, appraising the Luminous Pearl in Fang Bai’s hands.
“Big brother…
is this really a Luminous Pearl?”
Dongfang Ruhua also heard the discussions among the guests below, and looking at the glowing bead in Fang Bai’s hand, she couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, this is a naturally ford Luminous Pearl!
When you rest at night, you don’t need to turn on the light, just place this Luminous Pearl in your room.
It will be very beneficial to your body.”
Fang Bai said, passing the Luminous Pearl in his hand to Dongfang Ruhua.
This Luminous Pearl was one of the eighty-one he had discovered in a cave at the bottom of that Mysterious Pit.
Just now, Dongfang Xing had intentionally tried to make Fang Bai look foolish in public, and without his Spatial Ring, Fang Bai really wouldn’t have been able to present any birthday gift to Dongfang Ruhua, which would have been quite embarrassing.
When Dongfang Xing ntioned the birthday gift, Fang Bai thought it over and rembered the Luminous Pearls in his Spatial Ring.
Jewelry and jade, almost all won like them; Fang Bai’s eighty-one Luminous Pearls, were all naturally ford treasures of the highest quality, and each contained a trace of Heaven and Earth Origin Energy.
Any one of them could fetch a price of tens of millions at auction.
By giving such a Luminous Pearl, Fang Bai was presenting a generous gift indeed.
Dongfang Ruhua received the Luminous Pearl from Fang Bai’s hands with a face full of joy, and curiously played with it, the soft light emitted by the Luminous Pearl illuminated her beautiful face, adding a touch of radiance to her delicate features.
“Huh?”
As Dongfang Ruhua toyed with the Luminous Pearl, Fang Bai was surprised to sense the weak Heaven and Earth Origin Energy contained within the pearl being rapidly absorbed by her body.
Fang Bai felt a surge of excitent in his heart, as Dongfang Ruhua’s body could absorb Heaven and Earth Origin Energy on its own, confirming that she possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, and it wasn’t just an ordinary one.
Fang Bai surmised that Dongfang Ruhua must have one of the most powerful Innate Spiritual Roots—the Thunder Spirit Root; but to determine it was indeed a Thunder Spirit Root, he needed to use the thod of “Bone Touching.”
However, in such a setting, of course, Fang Bai had no way to perform “Bone Touching” on Dongfang Ruhua; that matter would have to wait for another ti.
“Big brother, what’s the matter?”
Seeing Fang Bai staring at her in a daze, Dongfang Ruhua stopped playing with the Luminous Pearl in her hands and asked with her eyes blinking, her cheeks slightly red.
“It’s nothing…”
Fang Bai had been staring at Dongfang Ruhua intently, delighted at the hunt, and upon hearing her question, he ca back to his senses and said with a smile, “So, little beauty, do you like the Luminous Pearl?”
“I love it!
I love it so much!
It’s the best birthday gift I’ve ever received!”
“As long as you like it.
I wish you happiness every day like today, and may you always be as beautiful as you are now!”
“Thank you, big brother!”
Dongfang Leiming had already stood up from his Taishi Chair when Fang Bai ca on stage to give the birthday gift, and after Fang Bai finished speaking with his little granddaughter, he walked up with a smile, feeling a burst of emotion as he said, “Doctor Fang, it’s a pleasure to see you again after our last parting!”
