Chapter 123 A New Use for the Water-Repelling Pearl

"Ow..."

The middle-aged woman fell to the ground all at once, and the four or five gambling stones in her bamboo basket also rolled out onto the ground.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you, are you alright, ma'am?"

Huo Sining, seeing what happened, panicked and quickly crouched down to help the middle-aged woman up, apologizing while attempting to pick up the stones from the ground and put them back into the basket, but she froze when she had picked up only half of them.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, I can pick them up myself."

The woman who was helped up had just fallen and was drenched all over, looking quite a mess, but she didn't seem to mind at all, instead offering Huo Sining a reassuring smile.

The woman spoke in Cantonese, which Huo Sining didn't pay attention to as her gaze was fixed on the piece of rough stone she was holding in her hand, her entire being stunned.
