Chapter 5: Departing Home

While I sat on the couch feeling bored, Jiyan went to the bedroom to pack our things. As I lazily looked around the living room, the box that Swist·Feizen had brought caught my eye. I wondered if Jiyan had seen its contents yet?

I didn’t even know what that fatty had brought. The black wooden box was made very delicately; in the center was a red gem, the sides had intricate carvings etched on it, and there were was metal covering the edges and corners. Could the box be pure gold? I looked everywhere but I couldn’t find a way to open the box. God dammit, isn’t this bloody fatty making things too difficult for me?

Jiyan’s voice interrupted me as I was about to crush the box with chi. “Lay-lay, I’ve packed our belongings; we can leave at any time.” As she finished speaking, Jiyan appeared carrying a backpack that was more-than-likely filled with our tailor-made clothing in addition to some essential items we would need on the journey. When Jiyan saw me, she asked curiously, “Um…what are you doing?”

“I want to see what that pig brought; but no matter what I try, I can’t open the box. I am so frustrated that I am about to break it open.”

After hearing what I said, Jiyan quickly ran over and snatched the box away from me. “You’re really stupid. Let me open it for you. It’s such a beautiful box, it would be a pity if you were to break it.”

I smiled at her and responded, “Do you like the box? If you do, then I’ll give it to you. Perhaps a few gemstones, too? Girls love those the most.”

Rolling her eyes, Jiyan retorted, “Do you think of me as one of those common women? All people desire beautiful things, it’s only natural; but I don’t see gems as anything precious, I prefer it when there is an inherent and natural beauty. Now watch, this is how you open this type of box.” As Jiyan spoke, she gently pressed the red gem in the center of the box, then turned it counter-clockwise, and finally pressed the gem again. Kecha! The box-top separated at the center and swung open.

The entire room was immersed in the rainbow luster from the various gems the instant the box opened. We could see seven distinct, dazzling, gorgeous colors of light shining out of the box; my vision blurred due to the intensity. Staring at the wonders present inside the box, Jiyan and I were completely astounded.

The interior of the box was covered in a blue velvet flocking, which had twenty small indentations pressed into it. Each indentation caressed a single gem. With a glance, I counted: five black gems, three red, three blue, three yellow, three green and three purple. I had seen gems in the past, but I had never seen such brilliant and lustrous ones.

“Jiyan, how are they so bright?! I was momentarily blinded.”

While lightly fondling each gem, Jiyan said, “Amazing, that fatty must be spitting out blood.
