X-Dragon Era

Feeling satisfied with the atmosphere on-site, Xin Yun closed his eyes again. Was that necklace really given away for free? No... Such good things just don't happen, do they? The necklace was really given away, but it absolutely wasn't for nothing. With this necklace, the value of these pieces of jewelry had been established at the very least!

What was originally worth only two pieces of silverware had now escalated to the price of a golden piece!

If he hadn't done this, the deal might have been successful, but the other four pieces of jade would definitely not have sold for a good price. Everyone isn't a fool, would they knowingly get tricked and still go for it?

But now it's different. By giving away the jewelry, Xin Yun had brought up the concept of beauty being priceless. With that mindset, what's spending a little more money to please the girl beside them? Keep in mind...

in such a setting, once someone is willing to pay any price to stand out and buy a piece of jewelry for a girl, although they know it's not worth it, it can absolutely touch the girl's heart, which is something that numerous regular gifts cannot compare with.

Xin Yun opened his eyes again and said to the stunned young man in front of him, "I must admit, you are really good at living, but you're not romantic at all, I can't feel any sentimentality from you!"

At this point, Xin Yun didn't intend to give the young man a chance to speak, continuing, "To win a beauty's smile, there's a price to pay!"

Having said that, Xin Yun stood up and exclaimed, "Maybe you think this necklace isn't worth so much, but don't you know that beauty is priceless? Fine jade is like a beautiful woman, do you really think you can trade such a woman with just two pieces of silver-level equipment?"

"But... but... but jade is jade, people are people, how can they be the same!" The young man struggled, on hearing Xin Yun's argument.

With a slight smile, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "For a man, maybe, but have you ever thought about what a girl likes the most?"

Facing Xin Yun's words, the young man was completely at a loss for words. Who knows that! Seeing this scene, Xin Yun narrowed his eyes and said pensively, "Girls are completely different from boys. For boys, a beautiful girl is everything, but for girls, whether a boy is handsome or not isn't so important."

Listening to Xin Yun, everyone nodded in agreement. What's the use of a man being handsome? It's more important to have courage, responsibility, insight, strategy, to dare to dream, and to act bravely!

Watching everyone nod, Xin Yun continued, "Girls are a wonderful creature, born to love beauty; a small flower, a handkerchief, a hat, a beautiful dress, a piece of exquisite jewelry—all these can bring them extreme joy. For boys, girls are everything, but for girls, everything beautiful is what they love."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, this time it was the girls who nodded in agreement. Indeed... loving beauty is a girl's nature. While boys wave wooden swords and pretend to be soldiers at war, girls use tree branches to play at embroidery; there's a definite difference between the two.

Observing the subtle nods from the women, Xin Yun went on, "From a man's perspective, the value of this jade necklace largely comes from its material, but in a girl's eyes, the greatest value of this jade necklace is whether it's beautiful and suitable for her. Therefore...

when men buy things, they consider their practicality, but when girls buy things, they only think about one thing—that is—beauty!"

"You... you're just talking nonsense! What's the use of just being pretty?" Said the young man, unable to contain his frustration, on hearing Xin Yun.

Facing the young man's rebuke, Xin Yun laughed and said, "If being pretty was useless, then why have you been chasing after the big sister without giving up? Don't think I haven't noticed!"

At this point, Xin Yun looked up and called out to everyone present, "Clearly, this friend here doesn't quite believe in my analysis, but fortunately... there are many beautiful girls here. If you all think what I'm saying is right, show some support with your applause!"

With Xin Yun's words, crisp applause broke out. At first, it was just a couple of girls clapping, but before long, almost every girl present joined in. They clapped not for any other reason but because everything Xin Yun said was true—it echoed their very thoughts. Practicality be damned, they wouldn't be caught dead wearing something unattractive.

Watching the satisfied customers around her, Xin Yun smiled and said, "Alright, I won't force anyone to exchange, but if someone does wish to exchange, then please pay attention, I'm not selling jade, but jewelry! So don't try to fool me with any silverware. You're free not to exchange, but if you do, one piece of gold ornament for one piece, otherwise, I'd rather give it away than make a trade."

Upon hearing this, certain quick-witted men who knew how to charm the ladies were already getting restless, turning to chat with the girls beside them, and soon… one couple reached an understanding and approached the stall.

Observing the young couple in front of her, Xin Yun nodded inwardly. The man was dashing and suave, while the woman was exceptionally beautiful. However… it was clear that the woman was a Martial Artist, her skin a bit tanned, yet her hair was lovely, black, and shiny, so glossy it could reflect someone's image.

Smiling at the young man, Xin Yun asked, "How about it? Want to pick out a piece of jewelry for your girlfriend?"

"Mm…" The young man nodded candidly, took out a gold helmet and placed it gently on the table. "To be honest, I don't know much about jewelry, so if you could, please recommend something."

Without even looking at the helmet, Xin Yun sized up the girl and then exclaimed with admiration, "This sister has the most beautiful hair I've ever seen. If she were to wear this 'Swallow' hairpin, she would be absolutely stunning!"

While speaking, Xin Yun picked up the box with the jade hairpin, pinched the hairpin lightly, and handed it gently to the young man, "Since you're so romantic, I'll leave the task of serving the beauty to you. Trust me… she is indeed the most suitable owner for this jade hairpin!"

Hearing Xin Yun's fluent compliments, the young man's face broke into a wide smile. After taking the hairpin, he gently inserted it into the girl's hair, and at the same time, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

Originally, the girl's hair was merely smooth and shiny, comfortable to behold, yet not dazzling enough to astonish onlookers. But once she donned the jade hairpin, everything changed.

The Mutton Fat Jade 'Swallow', gently trembling upon the glossy black hair, not only made the hair look even shinier and smoother but also coated it with a layer of precious luminescence, brilliantly highlighting the beauty of her hair like the finishing touch on a dragon painting—it brought out all of her beauty, captivating anyone who laid eyes on her.

Entranced by his girlfriend, the young man nodded repeatedly, "Not bad, not bad… You're right, your words do hold truth. Such a small hairpin, yet it completely transforms my girlfriend. It's money well spent, indeed well spent!"

It wasn't just the young man who was satisfied; the surrounding crowd was also quite astonished. A small hairpin could have such an effect—it was truly unexpected.

Nobody was more pleased than the girl herself. The hairpin not only embellished her hair even more, but as a Martial Artist, her aura was too fierce, lacking a bit of feminine grace. Yet this small hairpin completely brought out her demure beauty. With the accessory, she instantly went from a warrior to a gentle young woman. This was exactly what she had been striving for.

Delighted, truly delighted, both the young man and the girl were incredibly happy. Watching the two's content expressions, Xin Yun praised, "Brother, I really admire you. You're romantic and generous, not sparing any expense to win your lady's smile. Only someone like you deserves such a fine sister!"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, the young man's smile grew even sweeter. This kid was truly talented; even a perfectly happy couple could be enticed into closeness by his words! Now, his relationship with this girl was initially just ordinary, but quite obviously, after this incident, it had taken a significant turn for the better. Just for that alone, not to mention one gold item, two would be worth it!
