Chapter 18: Giving treasures
Gu Xiaoli looked at a few pictures of the animal skins. They were bright and full in color, thick and warm to the touch. I don’t know which animal’s skin was stripped off.
Although it felt a bit strange to use the skins of living animals to make clothes, I only had this nightgown on my body, so I couldn't help but feel pretentious, so I respectfully took the few animal skins and folded them.
Then Lei Wen poured out a lot of fruits and raw meat from the bag, all fresh and full. Gu Xiaoli could see that he should have carefully selected the best ones from the pile of food to bring them to him.
She came here for free to eat and live, and she was still so kind to her unconditionally, and she felt a little embarrassed.
However, she was not easy to refuse, so she could only put all kinds of food in the innermost part of the cave with Lei Wen, intending to eat slowly in the future.
After finishing the organization, Lei Wen quietly took out a small ball of animal skin from under a pile of animal skins in the cave, which seemed to contain something.
Lei Wen shyly pulled Gu Xiaoli to sit on the animal skin again, while he carefully opened the animal skin wrapped around it, and dragged the thing in front of Gu Xiaoli with both hands.
Gu Xiaoli looked closely and found that it turned out to be a black pearl the size of a thumb.
A beautiful light shines under the light coming into the entrance of the cave. The whole bead is round and full. The black beads seem to be polished out by magical skills. The smooth surface is without any flaws, beautiful and mysterious.
"This is brought back by my beast father when he was traveling to the beach. If you like it, please accept it!" Lei Wen looked at Gu Xiaoli's eyes with bright eyes, full of hope.
Gu Xiaoli couldn't help but be amazed at the beauty of this bead. Even if it is placed in modern times, such beads should be the best among black pearls, let alone the orc world where you eat raw meat and drink blood.
I don’t know how much it cost to get such a perfect bead.
"This bead should be very rare, right?" Although it is amazing at the beauty of the black pearl.
Gu Xiaoli didn't dare to collect such valuable items at will, and asked carefully.
"Yes, this is the bead my beast father brought back when he went to the beach. It is rare to see it on inland grassland like us."
The bead was carefully held in the palm of his hand by Lei Wen. What he didn't say was that his beast father almost lost half his life when he went to the beach for his beast mother to explore.
Later, with his strong will and the support of his companions, he returned to the tribe with difficulty.
Unfortunately, shortly after the beads were brought back, the beast father died of his injuries at the beach.
Before her death, the Beast Father told Lei Wen that this bead was not easy to make. If he found a female he liked in the future, he must pass it to her.
Gu Xiaoli took the bead and looked at it again and again. She was not very fascinated by jewelry, but after seeing such dazzling black pearls, she couldn't help but be attracted by the sight and couldn't let go.
Lei Wen saw that Gu Xiaoli liked his gift very much and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Gu Xiaoli would not take this small bead seriously among the gifts of many strong male orcs, just like his beast mother back then.
His beast father spent all his efforts, but he did not win his beast mother's smile.
Gu Xiaoli held the bead in his hand for a while, and although he was a little reluctant, he still solemnly put the bead back into Lei Wen's hand.
The bead was very beautiful, but she was satisfied after just admiring it for a while. This bead was too expensive to her, and it was an item left by Lei Wen's father. She felt that she was really not qualified to accept it.
Lei Wen didn't understand why Gu Xiaoli returned the bead to him again, and looked up at her with some grievance: "What's wrong with Xiaoli? Don't you like it?"
Gu Xiaoli quickly waved his hand, "It's not that your gift is bad! It's because it's too good, but I've never helped you anything and I'm not qualified to receive such a valuable gift!"
