“Oh god! Ling Yun is really back and with birthday gifts!”

“What a big bag! It looks really heavy with many items in it!”

“But who knows if he has anything decent in it? Why does he look like he is collecting rubbish?”

“Can’t you see that the black plastic bag seems to be emitting light? Don’t tell me Ling Yun is trying to be romantic and caught a bunch of fireflies?”

When everyone saw that Ling Yun carried a big bag back, they cried out in astonishment, especially when they saw how confident and calm he was.

“Make way, make way! No one is to touch these items because none of you can afford to pay for any of these items if you break them. I can’t be of help if Ning Er chooses to flip out on you!”

Before Ling Yun entered the house, he was already shouting wildly at the guests in the living room. He shouted so loudly that everyone moved to one side to make way for him.

After entering the house, Ling Yun didn’t return to his original position. Instead, he went to the center of the living room. This was in the middle of the four big dining table. To ensure the ease of walking around, this was the most spacious area of the room.

Ling Yun bent down as he cautiously placed the plastic bag down on the ground. His eyes swept across the impenetrable crowd before he smiled at Ning Er and said, “Ning Er, I’ve prepared three types of gifts for you. Which type do you want to see first?”

Even though Xue Meining didn’t know what Ling Yun brought, she looked like her entire body was blessed with happiness when she saw that Ling Yun really did bring her birthday presents. She replied with a lovable and adorable voice, “As long as it is from you, I’ll like them all!”

Ling Yun laughed out loud as he said to Xue Meining, who was already blushing, “You’re really greedy...”

Long Tianyu was young, so he was irritated by Ling Yun from the beginning. He couldn’t wait as he shouted, “Ling Yun, can you hurry up? Nobody is eating because they’re all waiting for you!”

Ling Yun nodded and chuckled as he got the servants to turn off the lights like before. He then reached into his plastic bag to pick out the first item!

“Ah! Oh my god, it’s a Night-Luminescent Pearl! How can it be so big!”

Ling Yun had only just removed the Night-Luminescent Pearl from the black plastic bag, and a girl immediately shouted!

“Ah! It’s really the Night-Luminescent Pearl, and it’s as big as a longan fruit!”

“What... This... How is this possible?”

An increasing number of females started screaming. It was a known fact that females loved pearls, let alone the Night-Luminescent Pearl!

Anyone who could remain in the ceremony was knowledgeable and respectable. While pearls might be rare, a Night-Luminescent Pearl, which could emit light, was a truly rare find in this world. Presently, this pearl wasn’t only able to emit light, it was as big as a logan!

Ling Yun placed the Night-Luminescent Pearl in his palm as it blossomed with warmth and light in the darkness. The haziness and mysterious feeling led to many incomparably shocked expressions and disbelief.

There was a saying that goes — “A pearl in the palm”. This was truly a pearl in the palm!

At this moment, the room was filled with the screams of young women and the emotional sighs of men...

Zhang Manyun was someone who loved pearls, let alone Night-Luminescent Pearls. Initially, she wasn’t too concerned about Ling Yun and his gifts, so she was standing pretty far away from the center of attention. Now that she heard Ling Yun brought out a Night-Luminescent Pearl, she became excited and rushed all the way to the front!

Xue Meining had never felt this blessed since she was a little girl, and now, she was about to collapse from all the happiness she was feeling. If it wasn’t for the fact that Ling Yun was bending down, she would have rushed into his arms immediately!

“Brother Ling Yun!” Xue Meining cried out with a trembling voice.

“Here!” Ling Yun handed the Night-Luminescent Pearl to Xue Meining gracefully, and it frightened Xue Meining. She hurriedly extended her hands to hold the pearl so she could admire it right in front of her.

When the Night-Luminescent Pearl was in Xue Meining’s fair and slender hands, the warmth and radiance of the pearl shone upon her gorgeous face. She basically looked like a fairy who had descended to the mundane world!

“This is really the Night-Luminescent Pearl! Oh god, what is going on tonight? I finally managed to witness the legendary Night-Luminescent Pearl!”

Since they were all in the dark, all the wealthy ladies were no longer bothered about being reserved. They were too excited and emotional over the splendid pearl.

While the women were collectively going crazy about it, all the men fell silent. The silent men included Hu Shaobai, Long Tianyu, Li Youmin, the few fuming old fellas, and even Miracle Doctor Xue. He was so shocked that he couldn’t speak!

This was a true gentleman pearl. Nothing could capture the heart of the birthday girl more than a stunning gift like this!

However, this was merely the beginning!

Ling Yun continued to reach into his bag to take out yet another Night-Luminescent Pearl of similar size. It was also emitting warmth and the same kind of radiance!

“What? He has another one!”

“What the f*ck! Am I seeing things? Are the Night-Luminescent Pearls on sale? Why is there another one?”

This time, the women weren’t the only ones screaming. Even the men were starting to get so emotional that they couldn’t help themselves. Some of them even started cursing!

The mansion grew brighter, especially the area that everyone was surrounding! It was already brighter than the lights in the mansion. Ling Yun smiled as he handed the Night-Luminescent Pearl to Xue Meining again.

“Oh my god, there are more! The bag is still emitting light!” Yet another lady shouted.

At this moment, the circle around Ling Yun no longer had any men as they were all pushed to the back by the frantic women in the mansion. When they saw how Ling Yun kept taking out pearls one after another, they almost lost their voices from all the shouting!

Ling Yun believed that this scene would be unforgettable for all of the ladies tonight!

Three, four, five, six... A total of eighteen Night-Luminescent Pearls were taken out by Ling Yun. Xue Meining was no longer able to hold everything. For Night-Luminescent Pearls of such size, Xue Meining could only hold a maximum of six, that was her limit!

Xue Meining handed six Night-Luminescent Pearls to her mother and the other six to her father before holding another six by herself. She was so excited that she could no longer stand properly.

She wasn’t the only one, as even Zhang Manyun was struggling to stand straight! It was the same for Xue Chengye!

A total of eighteen logan-sized Night-Luminescent Pearls! Each one of them was a rare sight in this world, and now they had eighteen!

“Today is Ning Er’s 17th birthday, so I initially wanted to give Ning Er seventeen Night-Luminescent Pearls. But since I have no use for this, I’ve decided to give her an additional one for next year!”

Wow! Seventeen years, eighteen Night-Luminescent Pearls! He had even given her the pearl for her 18th birthday! One pearl for each year!

Presently, the eighteen Night-Luminescent Pearls were shining brightly in the living room, and the entire room was already lit up brighter than before. Ling Yun could see the extreme and incredible shock on every single person’s faces.

Hu Shaobai, Long Tianyu, and Li Youmin were people who had seen Night-Luminescent Pearls before. However, they had never seen such a big one, and even if they had, they wouldn’t have possibly seen eighteen such pearls of the same size!

What is considered a priceless treasure? A rarity of this world? This is!

Among the silence, the only noises were the sound of people swallowing saliva as well as the intense breathing of women. Not only them, even the eyeballs of men almost fell out of their heads.

“Brother Ling Yun, I don’t want to hold onto the Night-Luminescent Pearls anymore. I just want you to hug me...”

Xue Meining was completely dumbfounded and beyond blessed that she was no longer able to stand straight. She could feel that she was going to fall to the ground any time now, so she wanted Ling Yun to hug her. All she wanted was to fall in the arms of this man and let him shower her with endless love!

“Turn on the lights!” Ling Yun smiled as he requested for the lights to be turned on.

Presently, nobody dared to talk about how sloppy he looked or how he was nothing special other than his slightly good looks.

Once the lights were turned on, everyone held their breath as they looked at Ling Yun as if they were looking at their loved ones. The bright eyes and stances looked as though they were going to swallow Ling Yun alive.

The diamond necklace that Long Tianyu gifted Xue Meining was still on her neck. However, it looked extremely dull under the light of the Night-Luminescent Pearls, so nobody talked about it anymore.

This was a true treasure of the world, and any of the pearls would be worth more than the nine-carat pink diamond, let alone eighteen of the pearls!

Hu Shaobai was also speechless as he couldn’t believe his eyes. His tongue was tied as he didn’t know what to say!

If Hu Shaobai were to talk about precious herbs or medicinal skills, he was confident that he wouldn’t lose to anyone. However, the Night-Luminescent Pearls that Ling Yun took out were indeed a rare find. He realized that Ling Yun wasn’t trying to provoke him or embarrass him. The fact was, Ling Yun really had it with him.

Li Youmin was the most speechless of them all. His family was indeed rich and not lacking in money. Hence, he knew he had one or two of these pearls at home too. However, it was impossible for his family to treat these worldly treasure as a birthday present!

This was the Night-Luminescent Pearl and not some car that could be manufactured any time he wanted. This was something even money couldn’t find or buy!

Moreover, even if he did take it out, he would never be as generous as Ling Yun and take out eighteen such pearls at one go!

Zhang Manyun was truly in love with the six Night-Luminescent Pearls in her hands. Her eyes shifted from the pearls to Ling Yun’s face and then back to the pearls. The emotions that she was feeling were no longer something that could be described by words!

Xue Chengye stared at the six flawless Night-Luminescent Pearls, and other than bitter laughter, he no longer knew what to say. The shock that Ling Yun brought to them was simply tremendous!

“Old Xue... Your granddaughter’s husband is really not a simple man! How did you find such a good young man?”

The spirited old man’s mouth was wide open for half a day. He was currently incomparably excited as he looked at Miracle Doctor Xue with jealousy!

“This kid is really full of surprises! Where can I find such a young man? Why don’t you give him to me? I have a granddaughter who is eighteen years old...”

Miracle Doctor Xue twitched his mouth as he swallowed one mouthful of saliva. He stared at the spirited old man and shouted, “You wish! Do you really think I don’t know about you? Your granddaughter is already twenty-one this year!”

The hearty old man laughed and said, “That is perfect! It looks like this kid has even more, so I might even receive twenty-one Night-Luminescent Pearls!”

Miracle Doctor Xue laughed out loud as he replied, “F*ck off! Haha, find one by yourself if you’re capable! Don’t try and snatch my granddaughter’s husband!”
