"This is..." Li Xiu looked at the box on the table, montarily unable to understand what Li Qingyi ant.
Li Qingyi opened the box, revealing a pear-shaped diamond, appearing to be four or five carats in size.
The color leaned towards transparency, with a faint hint of blue, looking extrely clear.
Just at first glance of this diamond, Li Xiu imdiately felt a sense of hunger; this was clearly a Demon Spirit Gemstone.
"This diamond is?" Li Xiu examined the diamond and asked.
"Have you heard of the Cullinan Diamond?" Li Qingyi slowly said.
"You an the Star of Africa?" Li Xiu was sowhat surprised and examined the diamond again.
While so might not have heard of the Cullinan Diamond, ntioning the Star of Africa, few would not have heard of it.
On the scepter of a certain Ancient Country, it is embedded with the so-called "King of Diamonds," the world’s second-largest diamond, the "Star of Africa," weighing over five hundred carats, an extrely rare giant diamond.
Actually, the Star of Africa is one of the diamonds split from the Cullinan Diamond; the Cullinan original weighed over three thousand carats, cut into nine large diamonds and ninety-six smaller ones, with a total weight of over a thousand carats, the final product is about one-third of the original stone, consud quite a lot.
The Star of Africa is also known as Cullinan Ι, the largest and most famous of the nine large diamonds, set into the scepter.
The smallest of the nine large diamonds is over four carats, precisely pear-shaped, which matches perfectly with the diamond Li Qingyi brought.
"Correct, this is the smallest of the nine large diamonds cut from the Cullinan," Li Qingyi nodded and said.
"Even if it’s a Cullinan diamond, there’s no difference between it and ordinary diamonds, weighing over four carats, not worth much," Li Xiu tentatively said.
"What if it’s a Radiant Demon Spirit Gemstone?" Li Qingyi said.
"Are you sure it’s a Radiant Demon Spirit Gemstone?" Li Xiu was sowhat astonished.
"Although I can’t be 100% sure, it’s close enough. I’ve seen Cullinan Ι, ΙΙΙ, and ΙV; they all nurture Radiant Demon Spirits. This smallest Cullinan ΙX hasn’t been contracted yet, but being a Cullinan, the chance of nurturing Radiant Demon Spirits is very high. You can choose to take a gamble. Of course, you can choose not to gamble and pretend I never brought it out." Li Qingyi smiled and said.
"Sounds quite tempting. Where did you get this diamond from? How do I know it’s the real Cullinan ΙX?" Li Xiu pondered.
"It’s a birthday gift from my mother; she probably wouldn’t deceive ," Li Qingyi said.
Li Xiu clicked his tongue inwardly; giving such a thing as a birthday gift, Li Qingyi’s family must be extrely wealthy, likely not inferior to Chu Jun.
"What do you want?" Li Xiu was inclined to take a gamble, knowing at least that it’s definitely a Demon Spirit Gemstone, even if not a Cullinan or without a Radiant Demon Spirit, it wouldn’t be a loss.
"Exchange it for a drink with wind, fire, and thunder attributes and redeem my three-year bet," Li Qingyi said.
"I can’t mix the drink right now; it’ll take so ti," Li Xiu pondered.
"How long?" Li Qingyi stared at Li Xiu and asked.
"At most a year’s ti," Li Xiu said with so confidence, because one of the drink formulations seems to have attributes like wind, fire, and thunder, but needs verification first, so Li Xiu doesn’t dare to directly promise.
"A year is too long; can it be done in half a year?" Li Qingyi frowned and asked.
"Okay, but your endorsent betting contract needs to continue," Li Xiu said with a smile.
Seeing Li Qingyi wanted to say more, Li Xiu spoke imdiately before she could, "You won’t have to show your face, this is my bottom line, otherwise take the diamond back."
"Alright, deal," Li Qingyi’s bottom line was to help Bai Ying get the drink with three attributes; if it really doesn’t work, she’ll have to accept the endorsent role.
Since Li Xiu compromised a bit, allowing her not to show her face, Li Qingyi was quite satisfied with this outco.
"I’ll keep the diamond; I’ll notify you when the drink can be mixed. Since you’re already here, you should take a promotional photo first," Li Xiu smilingly picked up the box containing Cullinan ΙX, directly storing it in the drawer.
"You’ve taken all the benefits without giving anything; isn’t this a bit unfair? We should exchange goods hand to hand," Bai Ying said discontentedly.
"If you don’t trust , the transaction can be canceled," Li Xiu took out the box and pushed it back towards them.
"I trust you, but according to the agreent, within three years I only need to take three sets of promotional photos and three sets of videos; timing needs to be discussed separately," Li Qingyi pushed the box back to Li Xiu.
"Alright, is it convenient to take the first promotional photo today?" Li Xiu smiled as he took the box.
"It’s convenient; rember your promise, don’t show my face. If you violate the agreent, you’ll bear the consequences," Li Qingyi said.
"Rest assured, I’ll have soone design a look that covers your face," Li Xiu picked up the phone, called Chu Jun over, and asked him to take Li Qingyi for the promotional photo.
Chu Jun was already experienced in this matter; the previous promotional work for the Demon Spirit competition had always been done by him, including taking promotional photos.
