Chapter 68: Nature Calls

Fu Lang paid for the stone polishing and happily carried the newly revealed ice jade over to Su Bao, eager to show off.

*Click…*

*Click…*

Hearing the sound of grinding teeth, he suddenly remembered and quickly hid the jade.

“Alright, let’s go, let’s go!” he urged Mo Yan.

He’d almost forgotten that their Xiao Bao’s “hobby” wasn’t exactly normal.

Sure, he didn’t think it was a big deal!

But if anyone else found out that their Xiao Bao could bite through jade as if it were candy, they’d probably faint on the spot!

Mo Yan carried Su Bao back to the car. Once they left Jade Street, Fu Lang handed the polished ice jade to Su Bao.

The original fist-sized stone, after being polished, was now about the size of a peach.

But the quality of the jade was exceptional!

This small piece was almost equivalent in value to the five jade pendants Fu Lang had gifted earlier.

Su Bao took the jade in her hands and, without a second thought, bit into it…

She didn’t show even a hint of hesitation or care for its value!

The *crunch crunch* sound of her chewing was enough to make anyone’s scalp tingle.

How did that not hurt her teeth?!

*Chomp…*

*Chomp…*

*Chomp…*

In just a few bites, the peach-sized jade was completely gone.

After finishing, Su Bao licked her lips, still unsatisfied. She leaned against the car window, peering back at Jade Street.

She seemed genuinely intrigued by what she’d seen there earlier.

She could sense that there were many “delicious” things on that street—some even better than what she’d just eaten!

But… she didn’t have money.

Su Bao reached into her little bag and gave it a squeeze, her expression showing a hint of disappointment.

Fu Lang, for all his flaws, had one notable strength: he could read a woman’s emotions like a book.

Seeing Su Bao’s slightly dejected look, he immediately understood why and asked, “You want more?”

“How about I take you back and buy some more?” Fu Lang offered, his usual carefree, money-doesn’t-matter attitude on full display. To him, if money could solve a problem, it wasn’t really a problem!

But to his surprise, Su Bao shook her head and refused.

“No need. I can’t take something for nothing.”

She had only accepted three conditions from him and would only take three gifts in return. Even the stone and the polishing had been repaid in her own way.

For every cause, there must be an effect.

She wouldn’t take anything without earning it.

Greed led to karmic debt, and karmic debt led to trouble.

So… she’d just wait for the next unlucky person to come along!

Fu Lang and Mo Yan both noticed Su Bao deep in thought, but neither could have guessed what was going through her mind.

And they certainly couldn’t have imagined…

That this little girl, who seemed so innocent, was busy calculating how to make more money!

When they arrived back at the school, Fu Lang suddenly shouted, “I can’t hold it anymore! I need to go!”

Nature calls, and when it does, there’s no stopping it!

As soon as the car came to a stop, Fu Lang flung the door open and bolted out, frantically searching for a restroom.

He was in such a rush that he completely forgot about his terrible luck!

Mo Yan, watching Fu Lang dash off, instinctively prepared to follow him.

Fu Lang had always been a carefree and reckless person. When he got flustered, he’d forget even the most important things—like the fact that he was still in danger.

But just as Mo Yan was about to get out of the car, he felt something tugging at his arm. Looking down, he realized it was Su Bao holding him back…
