Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 49 The Significance of the Shikon Jewel Fragments, and the Rewards of the Spirit Potion

Of course, this only applies to Gu Che and Lin Ruoxi at present; after all, they are just fragments, with limited uses and a limited growth potential.

"A fragment of the Shikon Jewel?"

Su Mengyao immediately withdrew her hand, which had been about to touch the purple crystal, and even the hand holding the box trembled slightly.

She had watched Inuyasha. Although it was an old anime, and she probably wouldn't remember many of the plot points now, rewatching various works had become part of her daily routine due to the dimensional invasion.

She had just rewatched Inuyasha.

Therefore, she has a very deep memory of Inuyasha now.

I didn't notice it before, but now that I look at it again, the glass-like things in this box are exactly the same as the fragments of the Shikon Jewel.

But the problem is
"Where did you get this?"

Su Mengyao was somewhat incredulous. If Ye Xuan's own template of kingship and hegemony is included, Ye Xuan must have obtained three treasures from all the heavens, right?
Is he the chosen one of this world? It's only been five months since the spiritual energy revival began, and he's already obtained three celestial treasures?
No, if we take the time when this guy obtained the Kingship and Hegemony template as the standard, it's equivalent to him getting one every month.

As for the silly girl, although she also didn't know where Ye Xuan got it from, she was too special. Even if she wanted to know, it wasn't appropriate for her to ask too much. But the Shikon Jewel was different. Not to mention that it was just a fragment, even the complete Shikon Jewel couldn't compare to the silly girl.

She didn't feel any psychological pressure when she asked.

Moreover, she was genuinely curious, as most of the treasures that appear in reality nowadays are complete and appear in the real world. This was the first time she had ever seen one appear in fragments.

If there are fragments, what about the complete Shikon Jewel? Will it also break for some reason like in Inuyasha, and we have to search for the fragments and collect them piece by piece?

"Found in the Wuyin Mountains of the Hangzhou Nature Reserve."

"But no other fragments were found."

"Therefore, I cannot be sure whether the complete Shikon Jewel's current physical form was shattered from the beginning, with most of the fragments being cleared away before the spiritual energy was revived, leaving only one fragment undiscovered because it fell into the valley; or whether only one fragment of the Shikon Jewel was revived."

Ye Xuan said calmly.

He had searched the Hidden Mist Mountains and found only this one fragment of the Shikon Jewel.

Therefore, he could not be sure whether the Shikon Jewel appeared in reality in its complete form, but the chosen vessel was broken from the beginning, leaving only a fragment in the valley; or whether the Shikon Jewel itself appeared in reality in fragment form.

But whether it's the former or the latter, it represents the same result: the Shikon Jewel has been shattered.

There are 24 fragments of the Shikon Jewel in Inuyasha, according to some statistics. This means that in the best-case scenario, 24 people or non-human beings will obtain the fragments of the Shikon Jewel. Of course, it is also possible that some people or mutated beasts will obtain more.

The result was not good; the number of fragments was more than 24, which made things more complicated.

It's impossible for the Great Xia Dynasty to expend so much manpower and resources to find so many Shikon Jewel fragments.

Why are you giving it to me?

Su Mengyao had a headache, clearly having thought of this as well.

Fortunately, this is not within her job scope. She can summarize and report to her superiors and let them figure out a solution themselves.

Anyway, it's impossible to give her the task; even if we did, she wouldn't want it.

But why would Ye Xuan give me a fragment of the Shikon Jewel?
"I don't like owing favors in return for psionic potions."

Ye Xuan said in a calm tone.

Su Mengyao pouted.

Why bother calculating so precisely?

She muttered to herself, but didn't say anything more.

"Okay, let's go."

The psychic potion has been received, and the fragments of the Shikon Jewel have been given away, so there's no need to keep the guests any longer.

Ye Xuan turned and walked towards Lin Miao, who had been standing quietly to the side. The girl was still holding the insulated box in her arms. When she saw him coming, her eyes lit up slightly.

"Thank you." Ye Xuan took the insulated box, thanked Lin Miao, and then said to her.

"If you're free tomorrow morning, you can come over; I can help you tap into your potential."

Although Ye Xuan could directly materialize characters from MasterChef and Food Wars! to cook for himself after acquiring the Rat Talisman, it would be a waste to use the Rat Talisman for this purpose when Lin Miao was already around.

However, Ye Xuan also sensed that Lin Miao seemed to have some special feelings for him; perhaps it was his imagination, but whether it was or not, it didn't matter, he had no intention of accepting it.

In his eyes, Lin Miao was simply too well protected by her family, so after spending a long time with a woman, she developed feelings that she had never had before.

This feeling can easily disappear.

But Ye Xuan really wanted Lin Miao to become his chef, and he didn't intend to enjoy Lin Miao's cooking without giving anything in return.

Although it seemed a bit strange to use the power of the Hogyoku to guide a chef's potential, Ye Xuan also wanted to know to what level Lin Miao's culinary skills would break through once her potential was guided.

"Oh well."

Lin Miao blinked, not paying attention to what Ye Xuan meant by guiding potential; she just felt that Ye Xuan was inviting her, and felt a little happy.

"Love brain."

Su Mengyao rolled her eyes and complained.

She had only teased him before, but now she was 100% certain that Lin Miao was truly in love.

But thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. Ye Xuan is indeed handsome, strong enough, and incredibly lucky. It's only natural that Lin Miao would be tempted by the three treasures of the heavens.

The problem is, Ye Xuan seems to treat Lin Miao as just an ordinary friend, without any special feelings for her.

Moreover, considering Ye Xuan's mature personality and his special family background, she doubted whether Lin Miao could win Ye Xuan's heart.

"Hmph, well—"

When Lin Miao heard the criticism, she wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she stuck her tongue out at Su Mengyao, her face saying, "I'm happy to."

So what if she's love-struck? As long as she's happy.

Lin Miao has now made her feelings clear and understands that Ye Xuan has no interest in romance; but so what?

Love is a matter between two people, but liking someone is only a matter between one person.

As long as she's happy, isn't that all that matters?

Seeing that Lin Miao was not only not shy but also provoking her, Su Mengyao clenched her fists a little. Then, as if she had thought of something, she glanced at the silly girl following behind Ye Xuan and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.

"Don't let your phone win."

Lin Miao's happy expression froze.

Su Mengyao immediately smiled smugly, and was about to tease him a bit more when she heard Ye Xuan's somewhat helpless voice.

"My hearing isn't so bad that I can't hear your conversation at this distance."

Lin Miao and Su Mengyao's faces flushed red instantly, and they both quickened their pace and walked towards the door.

What are they even talking about?!

Ye Xuan glanced in the direction the two had left and couldn't help but sigh.

What kind of thinking led them to believe they would fall for a "silly girl"?

No, strictly speaking, Silly Girl isn't even a cell phone anymore, since her power comes from the Rat Talisman; she should be considered a figurine.

His desires weren't enough to drive him to that point.
