Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 18 The Rich Young Master's Little Pendant

It was during class time, so Jiang Xinyan secretly returned to her dormitory, sneaked into the dormitory toilet, and locked the toilet door.

"How do I use this?" Jiang Xinyan examined the pendant in her hand over and over, not knowing how to use it. She carefully recalled the scene she had secretly witnessed Xu Xiunian using the jade pendant in her previous life. At that time, Xu Xiunian hadn't done anything; it seemed that he had only thought about it, and the jade pendant had flowed out spiritual spring water.

"Shouldn't babies all need to be bound by blood?" Jiang Xinyan muttered to herself, then went out of the bathroom and came back with a fruit knife.

With a knife pressed against her fingers, looking at the gleaming blade, Jiang Xinyan hesitated for a moment, then thought, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. I'll risk it!"

She slashed her finger hard, and blood gushed out. She quickly and tenderly placed her bleeding finger on the jade pendant.

Yu Liu is now a jade pendant, and whether she wants to acknowledge it as her master is entirely up to her. For someone like Jiang Xinyan, she naturally doesn't want to, especially since Jiang Xinyan's blood is shrouded in a faint black aura, and the smell it emits is foul to her, a demon. This is probably because she has been reborn, but she really doesn't want this kind of blood.

The surging blood left no trace on the surface of the jade pendant; it all dripped onto the ground along the smooth surface, and the jade pendant showed no reaction.

"How is that possible? How could it not work?"

Jiang Xinyan already had a bad feeling. She tried various methods, including telepathy, but she couldn't activate the spiritual spring inside the pendant.

What exactly happened? How did Xu Xiunian activate the spiritual spring inside the jade pendant back then? The current Xu Xiunian has no idea that there is a spiritual spring space hidden inside the jade pendant, so naturally he has no way to tell her how to open it. In this situation, she can only rely on herself.

Yu Liu felt incredibly miserable. Jiang Xinyan was indeed not a good person. After trying all the known methods without being able to open the spiritual spring space, she actually attacked and burned Yu Liu's true form. Yu Liu suffered terribly, but under these circumstances, she became even more determined not to acknowledge Jiang Xinyan as her master.

Yu Liu wanted to find Xu Xiunian, but Jiang Xinyan had completely abandoned him and had even started avoiding him these past few days, spending most of her time in her dormitory. Although Yu Liu was a fairy, she didn't know many things. Her true form couldn't move on its own, and if she were to create an avatar to move, the avatar would be too small. Can you imagine the difficulty of a tiny person, no bigger than a palm, carrying a heavy necklace, searching for someone who could move at any moment on a map that was terrifyingly large to her?

The chances of finding Xu Xiunian were too low, so Yu Liu chose to wait patiently. She stayed quietly on Jiang Xinyan's neck, just like an ordinary pendant.

After waiting for several days, Yu Liu's chance finally arrived. Because of her uncooperative behavior, Jiang Xinyan's originally sure plan completely collapsed. After trying various methods without success, Jiang Xinyan, who desperately needed the spiritual spring, finally turned her attention to Xu Xiunian.

Although Xu Xiunian doesn't know how to unlock the spiritual spring space yet, he unlocked it once before, so maybe he can unlock it a second time. Anyway, it's all in vain for me to try now, so I might as well let him give it a shot.

With this in mind, Jiang Xinyan blocked Xu Xiunian's way after school one day.

The surrounding classmates made a kind "oh~" sound. After Jiang Xinyan became familiar with Xu Xiunian, she had boasted more than once at school that Xu Xiunian was her boyfriend. This was known to the whole school. On the contrary, not many people knew about their breakup.

"Xu Xiunian, I have something I'd like to ask you. Could you come with me?" Jiang Xinyan put on her most familiar expression, with pitiful eyes, delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and an aura of sadness surrounding her, making it hard to refuse.

"Okay, okay."

Xu Xiunian wanted to say that they were no longer friends, but when he looked up, he saw the tears in Jiang Xinyan's eyes and stammered an agreement.

"Then let's go." Jiang Xinyan once again performed her amazing face-changing skill, becoming happy in an instant, and took Xu Xiunian's hand, as if the two of them were still the same as before.

Xu Xiunian struggled, but Jiang Xinyan held her with tremendous force, and she couldn't break free. Instead, Jiang Xinyan gripped her even tighter.

"You, you let go."

Xu Xiunian always remembered Jiang Xinyan's back as she turned and walked away without hesitation that day, and the sense of loss that came from feeling like he had lost something very important. These memories constantly reminded him that he and Jiang Xinyan had nothing to do with each other anymore, and that it was wrong for them to continue holding hands like good friends.

"I'll release you when we get there!! Don't even think about running away!!" Jiang Xinyan turned her head and threatened in a low voice, her eyes no longer filled with the tears she had before.

Xu Xiunian was directly frightened by her fierce expression. In his mind, his good friend had always been a little girl who needed protection. But suddenly, she seemed to have transformed from a little lamb into a big bad wolf, the kind that eats people.

He stopped struggling and lowered his long eyelashes to hide the emotions in his eyes. Although he was sometimes slow to react, his brain was also fully developed. He began to suspect that Jiang Xinyan might not be the kind of flower he imagined that needed to be carefully protected, but rather a weed covered with thorns.

The other party might have lied to him before. Xu Xiunian was already clearly aware of this situation. His eyes darkened for a moment before returning to normal.

Jiang Xinyan pulled Xu Xiunian back to the dark grove where they had broken up before, and finally let go of his hand.

"Um, what did you want to see me about?" Xu Xiunian asked, his head down, sounding a little embarrassed.

"I have something I want to ask you. Listen, if you obtained an extremely powerful treasure, like one of those incredibly powerful treasures described in novels, how would you make it recognize you as its master?"

Jiang Xinyan didn't want to mention the Spirit Spring Space, so she could only give a vague analogy.

Xu Xiunian didn't understand why she asked this question at all, but he still answered seriously: "Probably... a blood oath."

This answer did not satisfy Jiang Xinyan. She had already tried the blood oath, which had been completely ineffective: "Are there any other methods?"

Faced with her strange question, Xu Xiunian finally raised his head and smiled shyly: "You said it yourself that it is a treasure in a novel. If you want to find a way to recognize its owner, why don't you just look for it in the novel? I haven't read many novels. Apart from blood recognition, I don't know anything else."

Jiang Xinyan was practically going crazy. Of course, she had thought about this idea and even tried to implement it, but the jade pendant bird ignored her completely, let alone activate the spiritual spring.

Noticing her agitated look, Xu Xiunian asked seemingly unintentionally, "Xinyan, what's wrong? If there's something wrong, just tell me, and maybe I can give you some advice."

Jiang Xinyan looked at Xu Xiunian in front of her, her eyes flickering. She was thinking about something and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, she hardened her heart and reached out to tear off the jade pendant from her neck. This jade pendant had no way to be activated; to her, it was just an ordinary pendant. She might as well let Xu Xiunian try. At worst, if the jade pendant really chose Xu Xiunian, she would just get rid of him along with the pendant. After all, in this second life, the person who should truly become world-famous should be herself!

Xu Xiunian stared intently at the pendant that Jiang Xinyan had taken out again. Before, when he gave the pendant to Jiang Xinyan, he only felt that the pendant was somewhat important to him. But now, upon seeing the pendant, he felt that there was a strange attraction in it that made him unable to look away. He was so engrossed in staring at the pendant that he was almost infatuated.

"Take it!"

Jiang Xinyan rudely shoved the pendant into Xu Xiunian's hand, grabbed his other hand, and pulled out a knife to slash him.

Xu Xiunian never expected Jiang Xinyan to draw her knife against him, and he froze for a moment. Just as the sharp blade was about to cut through Xu Xiunian's skin, a white light emanated from Xu Xiunian's other hand.

The white light was not dazzling; it looked soft and harmless. When the white light subsided, the jade pendant was still the same jade pendant, but it was no longer in Xu Xiunian's hand; instead, it had ended up on Xu Xiunian's neck.

Jiang Xinyan, with her sharp eyes, noticed the pinkish tinge on the jade pendant. Her eyes widened in surprise, and her whole body began to tremble. She had gone to great lengths to retrieve the pendant, trying every method to make it recognize her as its owner, yet here it was, casually placed in Xu Xiunian's hand, and it had already chosen her! This wasn't fair! This wasn't fair! She had been reborn; she knew so much about the future; she should be the darling of heaven and earth, this opportunity should belong to her!

But why, why did the jade pendant still recognize Xu Xiunian as its master even after it allowed him to be reborn? Why?!

She couldn't bear the blow and trembled all over.

Xu Xiunian was no longer in the mood to care about Jiang Xinyan's feelings. Ever since the white light passed, he could vaguely feel a strange emotion rising in his heart. Although it was abrupt, he did not find it offensive.

He could feel that emotion—happiness and joy—which brightened his otherwise not-so-good mood.

Xu Xiunian reached out and touched the pendant hanging around his neck. No wonder Jiang Xinyan went to such lengths to take the pendant; it turned out it was a treasure. Combined with Jiang Xinyan's behavior just now, Xu Xiunian understood that Jiang Xinyan must know the pendant's function, but she tried everything to make it recognize her as her owner. In the end, she came to him for some reason, perhaps thinking she knew how to make the pendant recognize her as her owner. In the end, she lost everything.

Xu Xiunian felt a little smug, but his face remained as expressionless as ever: "Xinyan, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

He exaggeratedly helped Jiang Xinyan, who was so angry she could barely stand, and said, "Xinyan, wait here for a while, I'll go and call a doctor for you."

With that, he put Jiang Xinyan down on the ground, turned around and left quickly, but didn't head towards the school hospital at all.
