Chapter 477 Baiting and Attracting Fish
"How is it?" Gao Dongxu asked Ru Xin, who had just finished taking A Ning's pulse, while holding Ru Qing, whose eyes were glazed with desire from being kissed.

"It's not a big problem. I didn't expect her to be in such good physical condition." Ru Xin put A Ning's arm back under the blanket and said with some surprise.

Gao Dongxu thought to himself that if it weren't for the spiritual liquid he fed her, she would probably need to be rushed to a major hospital for emergency treatment right now.

"When are we leaving here?" Ru Xin asked Gao Dongxu.

"Let's wait until they finish putting out the fire and come back to check on them. We'll leave no later than tomorrow," Gao Dongxu said.

"Where is she?" Ruqing tilted her chin slightly, gesturing to Aning, and asked.

“Of course we should bring her. I told you, she has to pay off her debts,” Gao Dongxu said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"Pah, you're clearly just lusting after me." Ruqing said coquettishly, spitting out her words.

"Hehe, I'm also craving you two sisters." Gao Dongxu teased the twin sisters with a laugh.

"You're so annoying~~~" she said with a sweet, coquettish smile.

"By the way, how did you two feel about going down into the tomb this time?" Gao Dongxu put his arm around the two women and sat down on a chair, letting each of the sisters sit on one leg.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, their beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement as they said, "That was so exciting, and it broadened our horizons..."

"Completely overturns my understanding—" Ru Qing said excitedly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Gao Dongxu, saying with infatuation and admiration, "Especially the divine methods you displayed, they are simply too fantastical."

"That's right, tell us the truth, are you cultivating immortality?" Ru Xin's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light as she wrapped her arms around Gao Dongxu's neck and asked coquettishly.

"Hehe, in this Dharma-ending Age, there's not a trace of spiritual energy in the world. What kind of immortality are you cultivating? I'm telling the truth. It's just the power of artifacts. Of course, I do have special methods to control those divine artifacts," Gao Dongxu said with a half-smile, while glancing casually at the unconscious A Ning on the bed.

At this moment, Ah Ning's tightly closed eyes began to tremble slightly, and her breathing became noticeably rapid.

"Can you teach us?" Ruqing blinked her beautiful eyes, wrapped her arms around Gao Dongxu's neck, and asked coquettishly.

Gao Dongxu chuckled and shook his head, saying helplessly, "There's no way to teach me. I can use it because I'm exceptionally talented."

The two sisters were a little disappointed when they heard this, but they didn't dwell on it any longer.

"By the way, I have another question. Did you already know about the situation inside the tomb? Otherwise, how could you know everything?" Ru Xin asked curiously.

"I did know about the situation inside the tomb before I went down. The reason I took the risk was for that thousand-year-old Qilin and the jade figurine that can grant immortality," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Can that jade figurine really bring people back to life and grant them immortality?" Ru Xin asked in a trembling voice.

"Didn't you all see it? The Iron-Faced Man from over two thousand years ago is a perfect example. If his molting hadn't been interrupted, and he had been given a few hundred more years to complete his final molt, he might have truly been resurrected and achieved immortality," Gao Dongxu said calmly.

"My God, this is truly unbelievable—wait, you're looking for the jade figurine because you also want to achieve immortality, right?"

After speaking, both women stared wide-eyed at Gao Dongxu, while A Ning, lying on the bed, clenched her fists under the covers.

"Who doesn't want to live forever? But that was my choice before I died," Gao Dongxu chuckled.

"Hmm, if people find out you have a jade figurine that can grant immortality, won't that cause you a lot of trouble?" Ru Xin asked, frowning and expressing her concern.

"Hehe, most people won't believe in the immortality function of jade figurines. Even if they do, they would need to wear them for three thousand years to be able to come back to life and gain immortality. That's three thousand years, not thirty years."

Besides, it's not that easy to take something from me. Of course, if someone can come up with 10 billion US dollars, I can sell it to him directly.

"Compared to the vague and uncertain three thousand years, I'd rather enjoy the present," Gao Dongxu said with a smug smile.

Upon hearing "ten billion dollars," both sisters rolled their eyes coquettishly and said, "Ten billion? Dollars, indeed! Who would spend that much money on a jade figurine?"

"Hehe, you guys don't understand. Because we are still young and not old yet, those super-rich people who are nearing the end of their lives are willing to take a gamble, let alone spend 10 billion or any amount of money."

"Don't you think so, Aning—" Gao Dongxu said with a smile as he looked at Aning, who was lying on the bed pretending to be asleep.

Ru Xin and Ru Qing frowned in unison as they looked at A Ning, who was lying motionless on the bed.

"Hmm~"

Knowing she had been discovered, Ah Ning hesitated for a moment, then softly hummed in agreement. She opened her eyes, turned her head, her pretty face flushed and covered in fragrant sweat, and looked at Gao Dongxu, saying in a hoarse voice, "Are you really willing to give up the jade figurine?"

“Of course, ten billion US dollars,” Gao Dongxu laughed. “That old American devil Jude Kao probably can’t come up with that much money, can he?”

"Please show some respect..." Ah Ning tried with difficulty to sit up, but she was too weak to get up and lay back down on the pillow.

"Heh, instead of worrying about that old devil Jude Kao, you should think about how to repay my life-saving grace first," Gao Dongxu said with a disdainful laugh.

"You—" Ah Ning blushed and glared angrily at Gao Dongxu, then fainted from anger.

Ru Xin rushed forward, checked on her, and then turned to Gao Dongxu, pouting, "She fainted from anger—you didn't take advantage of her, did you?" "Almost, but in the end, my conscience bothered me, and I decided to wait until she recovered before doing anything," Gao Dongxu said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"You're really wicked." Ru Qing said coquettishly, looking at Gao Dongxu's handsome face.

“I never said I was a good person. Come on, they’re back, let’s go out and see—” At this moment, Gao Dongxu patted Ruqing’s lower back, helped her stand up, and said with a smile.

The two sisters didn't say anything more and followed Gao Dongxu out of the room. When they arrived at the hotel gate, they saw the disheveled, dusty, and smoke-covered Fatty, Wu Xie, and his group, who looked exhausted, walking into the courtyard.

"I can't take it anymore, I feel like I'm going to go into shock..." As soon as he entered the courtyard, Fatty Wang collapsed to the ground with a scream.

"Boss, boss lady, hurry up and get me something to eat, I'm starving..." Wu Xie shouted at the top of his lungs.

Gao Dongxu chuckled and looked at Leng Feng, asking, "How's the situation?"

"The troops have gone up..." Leng Feng walked to the tap, drank a few mouthfuls of cold water while rinsing off the tap, and replied.

Just then, a huge propeller sound came from the sky. Gao Dongxu looked up and saw a helicopter.

"Is anyone injured?" Gao Dongxu asked.

"No..." Wu Sansheng sat on a small stool, resting while lighting a cigarette. He smiled wryly and whispered to Gao Dongxu, "The village secretary kept praising us, saying that it's really rare to see people from the city with such high awareness."

I thought to myself, "Please don't praise us anymore. If you keep praising us, we'll really feel guilty. You have to know we're the arsonists; they'd strangle us to death..."

Gao Dongxu smiled noncommittally and said, "Wash up, eat, get some rest, and leave tomorrow."

Everyone looked at Gao Dongxu and nodded with varying expressions.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. They slept soundly until after 8 p.m., when they finally woke up and gathered together for dinner.

Inside the room, Wu Xie stared intently at the snake-browed bronze fish in his hand. The bronze fish was exquisitely crafted, with each scale polished to a sharp angle. On each of the fish's eyebrows was a sea snake, lifelike and vivid.

He examined the fish from head to toe, feeling somewhat puzzled. Gilded artifacts were definitely his specialty among antiques, but he had absolutely no idea what this fish was or what its purpose was.

This wasn't because he was being pedantic, but because the item was given to him specifically by the mysterious and powerful Gao Dongxu, which in itself was of extraordinary significance.

What? Gao Dongxu just casually tossed it to him?
Are you kidding me? Gao Dongxu, who has been mysterious and profound, insightful and strategic, and with a clear goal all along the way, would give away something he got from such a complicated treasure box so easily.

Who would believe that Gao Dongxu was making baseless accusations?

Why would he give it to me? Does this thing have anything to do with me?

Just as Wu Xie was racking his brains and lost in thought, he suddenly remembered the expression on his third uncle's face when he saw the item. His eyes lit up and he decided to ask Wu Sansheng for advice.

Having made up his mind, Wu Xie took the bronze fish, left the room, went to the courtyard, called Wu Sansheng back into the house, and then took out the snake-browed bronze fish, asking him if he recognized it.

Wu Sansheng took the bronze fish, a barely perceptible glint of brilliance flashing in his eyes, and said with a faint smile.

"You've come to the right person. There are no more than a hundred people in the entire Heavenly Dynasty who know about this thing, and of those hundred, probably only a dozen or so have actually seen it. It can be said to be an absolutely rare treasure."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie was overjoyed. He thought to himself, "It's like finding a gold ring in cow dung! I never imagined it would be such a rare treasure." He quickly asked him how much it could fetch.

Wu Sansheng chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Calling this fish a rare treasure doesn't mean it's valuable, but rather that it has high archaeological value. This fish is very similar to an artifact unearthed during an archaeological expedition twenty years ago, so there might be some connection..."

"Could you sell me that snake-browed bronze fish?"

Meanwhile, Ah Ning, whose fever had subsided and who was covered in sweat, looking as if she had been pulled out of the water, with her hair soaked with sweat, leaned against the headboard, looking at Gao Dongxu who was feeding her porridge spoonful by spoonful and asked him a question.

"I gave that to Wu Xie. If you want it, go ask him," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Why did you give it to him? You couldn't possibly not know the value of that thing..."

"What value?" Gao Dongxu asked, looking puzzled.

“You—” Ah Ning was furious, glaring at Gao Dongxu who was pretending to be stupid.

"Hoo—" Ah Ning took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. She knew that facing the mysterious and powerful Gao Dongxu, she was powerless to resist in her current state of serious injury. She could only pretend to be cooperative. Even though the bastard in front of her had already taken a huge advantage of her, she had to endure it for now and wait for revenge later.

"Could I use your phone for a moment so I can make a few calls?" Ah Ning asked, feigning weakness and speaking softly and pitifully.

"No!" Gao Dongxu looked at A Ning's pretty face and refused directly with a smile.

"You—" Ah Ning was almost furious, glaring at him as she asked, "You're going to put me under house arrest?"

"That's right, you'd better behave and stay by my side to repay me. Otherwise, if you dare to run away or escape, I will make you a nationally wanted criminal. From now on, no matter how many people Jude Kao sends, they will all become targets. Believe me, I mean what I say," Gao Dongxu threatened with a smile.
