Pocket Money

At nightfall, Kun Lun delivered the item to Shen Xi. Without taking a closer look at the item, Shen Xi expressed her gratitude and went home. 

She brought the box home and under the light, Shen Xi was almost blinded by the item. 

Jesus. It was a carved rosewood jewelry box. If her guess was right, this intricately carved article was from the early Ming Dynasty. 

The great thing about it was not the carvings but the gems inlaid on the jewelry box – rubellites, emeralds, rubies, and natural pearls. 

These things, paired with an uncanny and intricate craftsmanship, the price estimate would put it at a hundred million or more. 

Shen Xi's heart was thumping. With the box carrying the item already so costly, who knew what kind of valuables were inside? 

Overwhelmed with reverence, excitement, and apprehension, Shen Xi carefully opened the box and found a black card quietly sitting inside.
