Chapter 25: A Genius Among Geniuses
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The wide duplex mansion turned dark as the moonlight shone on the plants in the garden to project multiple flowing shadows.
Xia Zhiwan froze in fear and looked at the man who was lying on the bed as he had both of his eyes shut tight. She felt like she had entered a haunted house. As such, she had no choice but to grope around for an exit.
“Aunty Rong, are you there…” Her feeble voice echoed round the corridor, which made it even scarier.
She did not know if it was because she forgot to close the windows, but the wind whooshed inside the house and emitted a sound that was similar to a ghost howling. She could feel chills down her neck and accidentally fell down the stairs as a result.
“Ah!” Xia Zhiwan felt pain in her butt as she fell with a thump.
The man in the room opened his clear eyes as he put on a worried expression. He could not help but want to rush over to see if that clumsy girl was injured.
Xia Zhiwan ignored the injury caused by the fall and looked backward keenly. She could feel chills down her spine as it felt like she was being closely watched by another pair of eyes.
She suddenly remembered that there was a flashlight in the cabinet!
She rushed to the cabinet and groped around for a flashlight. Suddenly, she felt pain at her fingertips!
She trembled as she turned on the power supply. She found that someone had intentionally put razor blades in the cabinet.
It was clear that the power cut was not an accident. Someone had intentionally planned a prank for Xia Zhiwan.
However, this was not a bad thing…
Xia Zhiwan’s blood flowed down her fingertips and reached her wrist. It then began to emit a faint light.
She thought that she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes. She suspected that she might have been hallucinating as her eyes had not gotten used to the light yet.
Xia Zhiwan grabbed the flashlight and made sure that she could see her surroundings. She then went back to her room relievedly.
However, she could feel her body getting heavier with every step she took.
The minute she could touch her bed, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Xia Zhiwan got a fever in the middle of the night. She also felt her eyes burning up as her head felt dizzy. She did not know if it was because of the tremendous amount of stress, or if it was because she had not gotten used to the new environment.
In her dreams, she felt as if there was someone taking care of her meticulously. They put on a towel for her, gave her medicine and some warm water to drink.
It must be her mother…Apart from her mother, no one else would love her that much.
However, her mother was still in the hospital, right?
Xia Zhiwan then lost her consciousness in a daze.
The man gently sighed and kissed her on her bright forehead.
She woke up brimming with energy. She had a clear mind as she felt unknown energy surging into her body.
Apparently, Ou Ruoming was sent to the hospital, so he was not at home at the moment. To begin with, Xia Zhiwan was not concerned about her stranger husband.
If that was the case, she shall sneak to work today!
She slightly washed up and took her crystal bracelet. Just as she put on her bracelet, she was dumbfounded by what she saw.
It was as if a scanner ray was installed into her eyes as she saw the energy and quality of the crystals. Each crystal was like a white energy ball as they lined up together.
There were flocculent impurities in those energy balls because the bracelet was not made from top-quality materials. However, Xia Zhiwan still treasured it as it was made by her mother.
It was clear that the more energy a crystal possessed, the purer its color. That also meant that the material had a higher quality as it was purer.
She could not believe that she had gained an ability like that overnight. She widened her eyes to take a closer look and realized that she could see the structure of crystals. It was as if she had installed a microscope in her eyes.
Maybe she had awakened her secret bloodline ability?!
That thought made her extremely glad. She looked at the injury on her hand and realized that it had already healed. There was not a single scar either.
Maybe she had a special physique that required blood to activate her secret ability?
That prank had accidentally awakened her ability.
A small bracelet is not enough for her experiment. She ran to her company excitedly and looked for different types of ores and organic gemstones.
Once she touched a green gemstone that caught her attention, she could unexpectedly feel a resonance between her and the gemstone.
The gemstone was of normal quality, and it had a rough appearance. It would require professionals to analyze and process it before it could be cut. However, in Xia Zhiwan’s eyes, she could directly see the golden green light inside the gemstone.
A thin border separated the ball of energy from the dull border of the gemstone.
To test her insight, she carefully used a machine to cut the gemstone.
As the machine continued to whirr, a golden green-colored gemstone could be seen as it was accurately cut apart.
An emerald was already a rare item. However, Xia Zhiwan had managed to find a chrysoberyl that emitted light like a cat’s eye. It was a top-tier item that was hard to come by!
It had a bright golden-green color that was similar to a cup of light tawny tea. It had a perfect cylindrical texture that shone brightly under light’s reflection. A gemstone of this level would usually be a collector’s prized collection.
Xia Zhiwan grabbed the scrap that was cut away and gently touched it. It was as if those scraps had possessed a magnetic field.
