Zhou Weiqing did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly raised his left hand in front of Shangguan Bingâer.
After closely examining the Elemental Jewel on Zhou Weiqingâs right wrist, Shangguan Bingâer was clearly shaken, the hate-filled eyes seemed to be in a trance. âAlexandrite⌠Alexandrite Catâs Eye. It really is Alexandrite Catâs Eye. Why? Heaven, why do you mock me so, why did you let him have Alexandrite Catâs Eye Jewel!â she said with an ugly tone.
Changing the topic was undoubtedly one of the best ways to quell anger, and Zhou Weiqing quickly seized the opportunity to ask softly: âBattalion Commander, whatâs this Alexandrite Catâs Eye Jewel? How come Iâve never heard of it?â
Shangguan Bingâer said in a muttering manner: âAlexandrite, is a very special gemstone, belonging to the Chrysoberyl family of gems, under daylight it shows as a blue-green colour, the most beautiful of which would be the colour of emerald-jade. At night, under lamp or candle light, it appears to be rose-red or purplish red. As such, it is known as the emerald of the day, ruby of the night. In the world of gemstones, it is the rarest gemstone. And when the Alexandrite has the Catâs Eye markings, it becomes an Alexandrite Catâs Eye Jewel, and is the worldâs most valuable gemstone, a hundred times more valuable than even diamonds.â
Zhou Weiqing had never heard of Alexandrite Catâs Eye Jewels, but as he examined it closely, sure enough its colour changed as the sun rose further, the dark blue colour slowly turning into a rich green, and the catâs eye markings also seemed more obvious.
âYou mean to say, this Elemental Jewel of mine is Alexandrite Catâs Eye Jewel? But, what attribute is that?â Zhou Weiqing asked curiously, even momentarily forgetting the arrow at his neck.
Shangguan Bingâer was still in a dazed mode, and she said: âAlexandrite being the Elemental Jewel can only happen to Heavenly Jewel Masters. Besides being of higher quality and having a stronger elemental attribute, there is also one more possibility for Heavenly Jewel Masters â to have multiple Elemental Attributes. When a Heavenly Jewel Master has 2 or more elemental attributes, then his Elemental Jewel will be an Alexandrite.â
Zhou Weiqing blinked and said, âDoes that mean I have more than 2 elemental attributes? Isnât that better than having a single attribute?â
Shangguan Bingâer raised her head slowly, the dazed look in her eyes vanished, replaced with a rather complicated look. She shook her head, and the arrow in her hand moved a little â the pain at his throat silencing Zhou Weiqing and causing him to shiver. âItâs not 2 or more attributes, but 4 or more attributes. Alexandrite Catâs Eye is a legend amongst Elemental Jewels; when it appears it means that the Heavenly Jewel Master has more than 4 elemental attributes.â
Zhou Weiqing looked at Shangguan Bingâer, stupefied, and he started laughing, âIâm a legend?â Having been a trash for 13 years, yet suddenly turned into a Heavenly Jewel Master of legend, even though he was facing death, the sudden change still made this rascal proud of himself.
Shangguan Bingâerâs feelings now were extremely complicated. Even if Zhou Weiqing was just an ordinary Heavenly Jewel Master, she couldnât kill him now. After she had chased him out of the tent, her emotions has settled a littl. She was clear that the events that occurred yesterday was truly an accident. When Zhou Weiqingâs Heavenly Jewels Awakened yesterday and he had required a Sacrifice, she had just happened to stumble in. According to what she knew, under that circumstance, Zhou Weiqing had lost control of himself and the usual result should have been her death. However, she managed to survive, which meant that Zhou Weiqingâs willpower was extremely firm, and had managed to hold back at the last second, sparing her life. Although he had committed a grave sin against her, but he had actually not been fully in the wrong. After all, he had not been conscious when doing so, and had been controlled by the Evil Attribute when his Heavenly Jewel Awakened.
But could she really just let it go like that? Shangguan Bingâer was really not reconciled, not willing to let the matter rest just like that. Which young girl did not dream of romance? In her heart, she had often daydreamed about what her future husband would be like, handsome, modest, gentle, upstanding moral character, preferably a Heavenly Jewel Master, a man who was deeply in love with her, and treated her and coddled her like she was precious. Only then would she give herself to him on their wedding night.
Alas, at this moment, all her daydreams and fantasies had evaporated, and her innocence had been ruined in such a muddled fashion by such a honest looking person who was actually so sly in nature, this rascal who had such an ordinary appearance. Not to talk about love between them, there was barely any affection.
She really felt like ignoring everything and just killing him, but reason and logic told her that if she killed him just like that, she would never be able to reverse it. He was after all a Heavenly Jewel Master, and one with a legendary innate talent, having the Alexandrite Catâs Eye Jewel! For her country, she could not kill him. In the future, he could possibly advance to one of top, or even possibly the top Heavenly Jewel Master in the whole Mainland. How could she just ruin such a future talent like that?
Taking a deep breath, Shangguan Bingâer tried her best to calm herself down, and she sharply withdrew the arrow in her hand, and shouted harshly: âGet lost, get out of my sight now!â
With no more threat to his life, Zhou Weiqing suddenly felt like he was granted amnesty. âIâm getting lost right now!â As he said that, he started running off toward the distance.
âYou wretch! Come back here, I asked you to get lost back to camp!!â Shangguan Bingâer saw that the rascal was trying to run away, and instantly got angry again. With a flying kick, she caused him to stagger, but also causing her own lower body to ache in pain. That rascal always seemed to make her angry so easily.

Zhou Weiqing dropped his head down as if he were being wronged, âDonât be angry, Iâm going back to the camp now okay? I promise, no matter how much you trample on me, I wonât resist.â
Just now, in that instance when Shangguan Bingâer drew back the arrow in her hand, Zhou Weiqing felt a strong stabbing pain in his heart, an extreme heartache. She was really too kind, he had treated her like that but she still spared his life. In that moment, Zhou Weiqing found that he had fallen for Shangguan Bingâer. If we were to say that previously, he felt unworthy of her, but now he would no longer have such a feeling. After all, he had also become a Heavenly Jewel Master, furthermore one with the legendary Alexandrite Catâs Eye. He truly believed that if he worked hard in cultivating, one day he would be worthy of her, and he vowed silently that he would always take good care of her.
Of course, no matter what, Zhou Weiqingâs mind also always had some dirty thoughts. While he was deeply touched, this fellow was also thinking: If one day I bring Shangguan Bingâer home as my wife to show Dad, I wonder if that Dad of mine who never smiles would show any shocked expression.
Looking at Zhou Weiqing leaving with a pitiable expression, Shangguan Bingâer suddenly seemed to collapse like a deflated balloon, and she sat down on the floor, the arrow dropping to the ground, and hugged her knees sobbing out loud. She had never been a particularly firm girl, and such a massive change and events caused her to be overwhelmed with emotion and to break down and cry.
Zhou Weiqing had not gone very far, and hearing Shangguan Bingâer cry, he stopped in his tracks. He gingerly walked back, first taking up the arrow on the ground and throwing it further away, before carefully squatting down beside her. He did not know how to comfort her, and could only squat at the side in company. At the same time, he was thinking to himself: She is truly worthy of being called the top beauty in the Empire! Even when sheâs crying sheâs so beautiful!
