CHAPTER 152: CHAPTER 152: DRAGON CARVED JADE PENDANT

Xia Mian’s hands never stopped moving, the silver needle in her hand gently rotated, stimulating Ji Chenggong’s acupoints while infusing it with a stream of Spiritual Energy.

Since returning from the Mystical World, Xia Mian had gained something not belonging to this world, which was Spiritual Energy.

She had witnessed Meng Meng using the Spirit Control Technique to heal Lu Zechuan, and the effect was immediate.

After arriving in the Mystical World, Xia Mian also intended to absorb and utilize Spiritual Energy to improve and refine herself, and the result was beyond her expectations.

The Spiritual Energy in the real world was not as abundant as in the Mystical World, but Xia Mian had already acquired the ability to extract and absorb Spiritual Energy.

Ji Chenggong’s legs went from feeling hot and swollen at first to gradually feeling pain, then slowly the pain faded, and eventually, his legs gradually regained their strength.

"Don’t rush, slowly sit up." Xia Mian said softly while retrieving the silver needles.

Ji Chenggong’s face was flushed with excitement. With the support of the three Ji brothers, he slowly sat up and then tentatively placed his feet on the ground.

The first time, Ji Chenggong couldn’t stand steadily and fell back onto the sofa.

The second time, Ji Chenggong stood steady and took two steps forward.

The third time, Ji Chenggong not only walked two steps but walked especially steadily!

The smile on Ji Chenggong’s face was uncontrollable, as thrilled as a child.

For so many years, he sat in a wheelchair, like a useless person, gloomy, just getting by.

He never thought that one day, he could stand up again!

"Miss Xia!" Ji Chenggong, in his excitement, plopped down on his knees before Xia Mian, "Miss Xia, you are my great benefactor!!!!"

Ji Chenggong’s kneeling startled the three Ji brothers.

Their father had always been strong-willed, never showing weakness in front of others, but now, he knelt before Xia Mian!

"Mr. Ji, no need for this." Xia Mian reached out to help Ji Chenggong up.

However, Ji Chenggong’s face was still filled with excitement, "Miss Xia has healed my legs and is thus the great benefactor of my Ji Family. From now on, Miss Xia’s matters are the Ji Family’s matters. For anything Miss Xia needs from the Ji Family, just say the word, rushing through fire and water would not be declined!"

After speaking, Ji Chenggong gestured to Ji Changlong, "Go fetch that Dragon Carved Jade Pendant for me!"

Ji Changlong didn’t dare delay and hurried to retrieve the Dragon Carved Jade Pendant Ji Chenggong mentioned.

Ji Changxing poured Xia Mian a full cup of tea, "Miss Xia, you’ve worked hard, have a cup of tea to soothe your throat!"

Before Xia Mian finished the tea, Ji Changlong brought the Dragon Carved Jade Pendant.

Ji Changlong respectfully handed the jade pendant to Ji Chenggong.

Ji Chenggong respectfully presented the jade pendant before Xia Mian, "Miss Xia, I purchased this jade pendant at an auction, it’s worth a sum of money and is also a symbol of my being the Family Head of the Ji Family. Now, I give it to you!"

Ji Chenggong pushed the Dragon Carved Jade Pendant in front of Xia Mian.

Xia Mian glanced down at the jade pendant, its quality was excellent, with good translucence, and inside seemed to be a Wandering Dragon faintly moving, the jade pendant merely placed on the coffee table seemed to emit a faint dragon’s roar.

This treasure, one could say, is priceless, certainly worth more than just a small sum.

Xia Mian pushed the jade pendant back, "Mr. Ji, this gift is too heavy."

Ji Chenggong hastily shook his head, "Miss Xia, please accept it! You have given me rebirth, and giving you a jade pendant, even handing over the entire Ji Family would be only right!"

Xia Mian chuckled, "Mr. Ji, you must be joking."

The Ji Family’s estate was second only to the Lu Family, to give her the entire Ji Family? She had neither the mind nor the energy to take on managing another company.

"Miss Xia, please accept it! My father is someone who sets his mind on things. You healed his legs, and if you don’t accept his gratitude, it will weigh on his mind forever," Ji Changfa sincerely said from the side.

Xia Mian took another sip of tea and then slowly accepted the jade pendant, "Alright, I will accept this jade pendant."

After securing the jade pendant and getting ready to leave, she saw Mu Keying looking at her with a complex expression, hesitating to speak.

Xia Mian, reading the situation, softly asked, "Mrs. Ji, is something the matter?"

"Miss Xia, my Ah Ling..." Mu Keying hesitated, but eventually spoke up, "My Ah Ling hasn’t woken up for three days now..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mian lightly raised an eyebrow, "Unconscious for three days?"

Mu Keying nodded emphatically, "Yes, no matter how we call, she won’t wake up!"

Deep in thought, Xia Mian pressed her lips slightly, "Don’t worry, she is merely in a long dream, once the dream is over, she will awaken."

Ji Ling indeed was in a long dream, after being chased by ancestors for something, her consciousness fell into darkness briefly, then her dream once more transformed, becoming a misty, fairyland-like realm.

Here, she saw Gu Zhi again, who smiled at her, played around, watched the earthly landscapes, and saw sunrises and sunsets with her.

Ji Ling didn’t want to leave, she wished to stay in this dream forever.

In this dream, no one opposed her being with Gu Zhi, she and Gu Zhi could be together day and night...

"Miss Xia, she has been like this for three days already!" In the end, worried for Ji Ling, Mu Keying implored Xia Mian, bringing her into Ji Ling’s room.

Seeing Ji Ling sleeping peacefully on the bed, Mu Keying’s heart twisted in pain.

Xia Mian lowered her gaze to look at Ji Ling on the bed.

Ji Ling’s sleeping face was serene, her lips curving slightly, as if she was having a sweet dream.

"She doesn’t want to wake up from the dream. This isn’t something we can interfere with." Xia Mian’s voice was faint; she had never taken a liking to Ji Ling.

"Miss Xia!" Mu Keying fell to her knees in front of Xia Mian, "I beg you, I know, Ji Ling has been foolish, done many stupid things, but Miss Xia, I am a mother! Please, understand my feelings as a mother... I can’t just watch my child like this..."

As she spoke the last words, Mu Keying was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Though Ji Ling was infuriating, she was still her child, born from her womb.

If Ji Ling were to die in her sleep, it would be like cutting into her own flesh?!

Seeing Mu Keying cry so pitifully, Xia Mian couldn’t help but squint her eyes gently.

"There is a way to wake her. I can help you enter her dream. If you can bring her out, she will wake up. If she refuses to go with you, then you, too, will be trapped in her dream." Xia Mian said slowly and calmly, "Would you be willing to try?"

Upon hearing Xia Mian’s words, Mu Keying almost hesitated not a bit before nodding, "I am willing!"

"I am not willing!" Ji Changxing said sharply, "You know what kind of person that brat is, don’t you? How could she possibly listen to you? If she doesn’t listen, you can’t come back!"
