476: Chapter 476 Never Satisfied

"Yes, a storage space, but not the kind written about in novels; it's a special function that comes with a dharma instrument."

"That's so magical!"

"Magical, right? I'll find a similar dharma instrument for you later."

"Really? Thank you."

"Hmm? Thank whom?"

"You."

"What should you call me?"

"Stinky little brother!"

"That doesn't sound good. Change it."

"Good brother~"

"Hehe," Han Jingyang grabbed Liu Jing's firm, smooth waist, lowered his head, and kissed her pink, delicate, and sweet lips, starting the action.

Liu Jing let out a soft "Yingning" sound and wrapped herself around Han Jingyang's body, saying in a sweet, coquettish voice: "Still not enough?"

"Never enough. I want to go day and night without stopping."

"So greedy."

"Never satisfied!"

Shadows flickered, and waves of passion surged.

Time slipped away quickly amidst their mutual probing and defenses.

Liu Jing drifted into a deep sleep.

Han Jingyang quietly got up to appraise the spoils of war filling the room.

It was indeed a room full.

All the spoils he had captured yesterday—no, it should be the day before yesterday now—were there.

Appraise.

He appraised them all in one go.

The results made him very happy.

There were a total of 302 items opened, among which 62 were grade five or above with skills, and 103 were below grade five with items.

This drop rate was quite substantial and gratifying.

Although most were just consumables, there were a few top-tier items.

Now, his arsenal was even richer, enough for him to fight several well-equipped battles.

Supporting the war with the war was indeed the fastest path to growth.

Enemies were delivering spoils one after another; it would be rude not to accept them, especially since the Japanese invaders were the most generous and enthusiastic in their deliveries.

In the future, he must pay a visit to the homes of the Japanese invaders; there would surely be more and better harvests.

One still has to mind their manners when dealing with their own people.

But with the Japanese invaders, there was no need to be polite at all; he would take whatever caught his eye.

When the time came, not only would he take things himself, but it would be best to bring his friends and family along to take things too, and after being well-fed and satisfied, bring plenty of treasures back to the country.

Han Jingyang spent two hours inventorying the attributes and skills of every single item.

Then, he held Liu Jing and went to sleep soundly.

The next day.

The sun was high in the sky.

Han Jingyang and Liu Jing reluctantly crawled out of bed.

Han Jingyang took out two more pendants and placed them around Liu Jing's neck, which was free of any wrinkles or blemishes.

Liu Jing was both surprised and delighted: "A dharma instrument?"

"Yes, defensive ones. One is double-defense, the other is physical defense, and each comes with a spell. The jade one increases skin defense, and the silver one can increase movement speed and reaction ability, while allowing you to dodge a fatal attack one hundred percent of the time."

"So powerful?"

"Consider who gave it to you."

"My good brother gave it to me," Liu Jing said, stretching out her arms to wrap around Han Jingyang's neck and pressing gently against him.

"Mmm—"

After lingering for another half hour, the two finally got up to wash and get ready to go out.

At the doorway, Liang Xingxin poked his head out at just the right moment: "Brother Han, are you heading out?"

"Yes."

"Going out after breakfast?"

"No, I'll eat after I go out. The breakfast in Xian is world-famous. What's the point of staying holed up in the hotel eating breakfast every day? Although it's not bad, it ultimately lacks a bit of the flavor of real life."

"That makes sense. Brother Han has life experience and a pair of eyes good at finding beauty," Liang Xingxin chuckled: "Where does Brother Han plan to go today?"

"Wherever I end up, no plans."

"Casual and free, Brother Han knows how to enjoy life. Then I wish Brother Han a good time." Liang Xingxin watched Han Jingyang and the other leave, then immediately sent a message: "Han Jingyang and Liu Jing have left the hotel. They didn't eat breakfast, saying they would eat outside. They have no destination. It's uncertain if they will return to the hotel to stay the night. That is all."

Han Jingyang took Liu Jing's arm and left the hotel, sneering: "We are being watched closely by that guy Liang. I just don't know if Chen Zhongfei is involved in this."

"Not Chen Zhongfei?"

"Not sure. That guy Liang just works for Chen Zhongfei, but it doesn't necessarily mean he only listens to Chen Zhongfei's orders."

"Didn't you say Chen Zhongfei and Liang Xingxin are suspected to be from the same sect? Could it be their sect?"

"Too little information to draw a conclusion. Based on the current situation, it would be normal for Liang Xingxin to be colluding with anyone, including Tian Chunming."

Liu Jing was shocked: "That can't be, right? They are, after all, people from an official department."

Han Jingyang sneered: "There's nothing that can't be. In the face of huge interests, even mortal enemies might abandon their hatred and form a temporary alliance. The allure of my collection of dharma instruments is simply too great; all kinds of demons and monsters could pop up."

"Then... where are we going fishing today? How about going to a quiet place to give them a chance?"

"No rush. I just baited the hook; the fish haven't gathered yet. Wait a bit longer."

"Then where are we going?"

"The antique market," Han Jingyang chuckled: "As someone who started out in the antique business, it's only reasonable that I'd spend a day exploring the antique market on my second day in Xian."

"That's true. The ancient Capital of thirteen dynasties—a tomb every three steps, a mausoleum every five steps. Treasures are everywhere. The antique market must be very lively."

"It is indeed very lively."

When Han Jingyang was in college, he visited the antique market in Xian once with his mentor, and it was that experience that sparked his interest in opening an antique shop.

Recalling the situation at that time, it was indeed lively.

Although it wasn't as big as those in the Capital, there were truly many good things. As long as you had the guts and the eye for it, you could buy all kinds of good things.

Of course, most of it was underground goods, lacking a bit of the upright cultural atmosphere and having a bit more of the sinister feeling of things that shouldn't see the light of day. This is also the main reason why, despite having many good things, its reputation has never been as good as those antique markets in the Capital.

It's similar to Luoyang; there are many good things, but they can't really be brought out into the open and can only be traded quietly in private.

Xiaodongmen Antique Market.

Han Jingyang pulled Liu Jing through the crowd, asked for directions several times, and finally stopped in front of an antique shop named "Jubaolou."

He looked at the sign, then peeked at the people inside through the glass window, before finally pushing the door open and entering.

As soon as he entered, he called out with a smile: "Tingting!"

The shop assistant, who was just about to greet them, froze and instinctively turned to look at the boss who was organizing the counter.

The young female boss who was organizing the counter was also stunned. She turned her head slowly and stared at Han Jingyang: "Brother Han?"

Han Jingyang nodded slightly.

The young female boss quickly ran out from behind the counter and rushed in front of Han Jingyang. She was about to hug him, but when she saw Liu Jing standing to the side, she instantly froze, asking with uncertainty: "This, who is this..."

Han Jingyang chuckled: "My girlfriend, Liu Jing."

As he said this, he patted the back of Liu Jing's hand: "This is the boss of Jubaolou, Liu Tingting. She is also the one who guided me into this industry. If it weren't for her, I might be wasting my days in some grassroots cultural relics bureau right now."

Liu Jing reached out her hand: "Hello, my name is Liu Jing, and I am Han Jingyang's girlfriend... one of them."

Liu Tingting was stunned: "One, one of them?"

Liu Jing chuckled: "Looks like you two haven't been in touch for a while."

Liu Tingting nodded awkwardly: "I forgot to exchange contact information at the time."

"I see," Liu Jing's smile deepened: "Your Brother Han is quite something now; he's become a playboy who has one foot on several boats."

"Ah, this, this..."

Han Jingyang tapped Liu Jing on the head with a doting look, then smiled at Liu Tingting: "Is that treasure I asked you to keep still there?"
