"Yang Cheng, what were you doing in there?" Fatty urged me outside the Buddhist hall.

"Oh, coming! Coming!" I responded twice, hiding the "ruby" in my pocket and quickly walked out of the hall.

To be honest, I had a selfish motive. This beautiful "ruby," I was wholeheartedly thinking of giving it to Liu Qingqing, so I didn't want Fatty to know about it. In case Fatty asked for it or wanted to take half of it, wouldn't it ruin the "ruby"?

Stepping out of the hall, Fatty asked where I had been. I smiled and did not mention the "ruby," just made up an excuse, saying that I suddenly had a stomachache and went to the back to relieve myself.

By the time I returned to Hongqi Village, it was almost dark. Fatty and I went home separately.

When I opened the door, my mother was busy in the kitchen, and my father was setting the table. It turned out that Ku Qubi and Wang Baochang were visiting our house. Grandpa specially slaughtered a big red rooster, and my mother made a large pot of fire-roasted chicken.

I greeted Ku Qubi and Wang Baochang and went inside to find Liu Qingqing.

As I entered the bedroom, I saw Liu Qingqing applying medicine to her wounds. She had her back turned to me, with her dress slipping halfway, revealing her smooth and snow-white back. It was such a seductive sight, and I felt a rush of heat in my nostrils as if something was flowing out, hot and spicy.

Liu Qingqing knew it was me without turning around and said, "Yang Cheng, you came back just in time, help me apply some medicine!"

I responded, and eagerly ran over.

Liu Qingqing handed me a wooden box containing ointment, similar to "Wan Jing You," emitting a peculiar fragrance.

Liu Qingqing told me that Ku Qubi gave her this ointment, which had remarkable healing effects on wounds.

I held the ointment carefully and applied it to Liu Qingqing's wounds bit by bit.

Liu Qingqing had many bloody cuts from the Fox Demon's claws, some of them quite deep. As my fingertips touched the ointment and gently glided over the surface of the wounds, Liu Qingqing hissed and took in a sharp breath, her delicate body trembling slightly, which made me feel heartbroken.

I told her that she was a fool for knowingly not being a match for the thousand-year-old Fox Demon but still insisted on fighting her.

Liu Qingqing said, "You are my husband. I cannot let anything happen to you!"

"But I don't want anything to happen to you either!" I said emotionally.

Liu Qingqing paused for a moment, suddenly turned around, revealing her bosom in full view. It made me feel a little dizzy for a moment, and my nosebleed became even more enthusiastic.

"Why are you having a nosebleed?" Liu Qingqing asked.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

"Maybe... maybe I ate too much dry rations these days, it's causing me to have internal heat!" I stammered, not knowing where to put my hands for a moment.

Liu Qingqing chuckled and suddenly tiptoed to kiss me on the lips.

Liu Qingqing's kiss was slightly cool, like a clear spring slowly flowing into my body.

I felt the blood throughout my body boiling, as if I was on fire. Unable to control myself, I opened my arms and tightly embraced Liu Qingqing.

Just as we were entangled in our passionate embrace, my mother's voice suddenly appeared at the door: "Yang Cheng, Qingqing, come out for dinner! Oh..."

My mother pushed open the door and, caught off guard, saw this scene. She was momentarily stunned, quickly closed the door, and retreated, saying, "I... I didn't see anything..."

Liu Qingqing's cheeks blushed slightly, and she shyly leaned against my chest. I laughed it off, took Qingqing's hand, and walked out for dinner.

On such a hot day, the dinner was set in the courtyard. When I looked up, the sky was full of stars. Drinking and chatting under this starlight created a great atmosphere, very artistic.

After a few glasses of wine, I suddenly remembered the gift in my pocket. I quickly took out the "ruby" and handed it to Liu Qingqing, saying, "Qingqing, here, a gift for you!"

Liu Qingqing looked at the "ruby" with joy on her face, "Wow, what is this? It's so beautiful!"

My father asked me with surprise on his face, "Isn't this a gemstone? Where did you get it, kid?"

Liu Qingqing held the "ruby" in her hands, filled with joy.

Unexpectedly, this "ruby" shone even more brightly in the darkness, reflecting everyone's faces in a rosy glow. The beautiful face of Liu Qingqing became even more beautiful and enchanting.

I was also very happy in my heart. This "ruby" was truly a gift from heaven for Liu Qingqing, and it was a perfect match for her.

My grandfather said to me, "Yang Cheng, our Yang family has always been honest and upright, never stealing or robbing. You must not do anything bad, young man!"

I smiled and assured them that they could rest assured. This "ruby" was definitely not stolen. Since we were all family tonight, I had no reason to hide it and told them about the tears shed by the Buddha statue.

My father and mother stared at me with disbelief on their faces, "The Buddha statue shedding tears? Isn't that a fairy tale?"

I raised my right hand, swore an oath, and said that I absolutely did not lie.

Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect me to have such an extraordinary encounter, actually encountering tears shed by a Buddha statue.

Grandpa turned to Ku Qubi and asked, as Ku Qubi was knowledgeable about such things, asking him what it could possibly mean.

Ku Qubi took the "ruby" and looked at it, squinting his eyes, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thing is 'Bodhi Tears'!"

"Bodhi Tears?!"

Ku Qubi nodded, "Bodhi Tears are tears shed by the Buddha statue. They are rarely seen in a century. Unless one has a destined connection, it would be impossible to find Bodhi Tears even in one's entire lifetime. Haha, Yang Cheng, you, as a good person, receive good rewards. To obtain such a treasure, it's truly a blessing from heaven!"

Hearing Ku Qubi's words, I felt even happier in my heart. It seemed that my luck was not bad at all, to come across Bodhi Tears, which were rarely seen in a century.

I asked Ku Qubi about the magical qualities of Bodhi Tears.

Ku Qubi advised me, "You must take good care of this Bodhi Tears, don't lose it. When the 'Heavenly Opportunity' arrives, it will naturally have its uses!"

This was the first time I heard about the "Heavenly Opportunity," which I learned from the mouth of the mysterious black-clothed man.

I was very curious and asked Ku Qubi what exactly the "Heavenly Opportunity" was.

Ku Qubi still refused to tell me, saying that the Heavenly Opportunity must not be revealed. When it's time for you to know, you will know eventually.

I shook my head. Since Ku Qubi didn't want to tell me, there must be a reason. It wasn't of much use to continue questioning.

Ku Qubi handed me the Bodhi Tears and told me to keep it safe, not to mention it to anyone else, and not to let Liu Qingqing wear it as a pendant around her neck, so as not to invite disaster, as there were too many evil beings coveting the Bodhi Tears.

The phrase "invite disaster" scared me. I quickly put away the Bodhi Tears. I originally thought it was a precious treasure, but it turned out to be a hot potato!
