Chapter Five Hundred and Ten
“Really? President Zhou, you’re such a good friend.” Long Xiaoshan exclaimed excitedly, while giving Song Yi a pat on her waist.
Song Yi was startled for a moment, then also showed an ecstatic expression, “President Zhou, I knew you were the best.”
Zhou Shuanghu was already seething with hatred inside, but he still managed to suppress it and squeezed out a faint smile, “Of course, President Song, since you are my guests, I, Zhou Shuanghu, absolutely want you to have the first pick. How about it, when are you planning to set off?”
“The sooner, the better. I think we should go right after a while,” Long Xiaoshan said with urgency.
“That’s great,” Zhou Shuanghu said with a feigned smile, his flesh not laughing with his skin.
After Zhou Shuanghu and Sangdu left.
Song Yi closed the room door and immediately said, “Why did you agree so quickly? Zhou Shuanghu is clearly up to no good; he might be setting a trap for us in cahoots with Sangdu.”
“I want to see what tricks they’re up to,” Long Xiaoshan said with a light smile.
Song Yi said, “Pagan is not the same as Mitzina, you know. This Sangdu seems to be a very powerful local figure. Otherwise, the Myanmar Army wouldn’t have let us in so easily. If we really fall out with them, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get out of Pagantown.”
Song Yi knew Long Xiaoshan was a good fighter, even unafraid of gunfire in Mitzina.
But that was still only against some thugs and riffraff.
He couldn’t be compared with someone like Sangdu, a local bigwig.
Not to mention anything else, on their way in, they saw no fewer than twenty or thirty of Sangdu’s men inside the estate, all armed with AK47s, which goes to show how powerful Sangdu is. Maybe he’s even in cahoots with the Myanmar Army. If a conflict really breaks out, to think of escaping from Pagantown, which is surrounded by the Myanmar Army, is out of the question.
No matter how strong an individual is, how can they compare to an army?
“Don’t worry, we won’t turn against them unless it’s absolutely necessary, at least not now,” Long Xiaoshan reassured her with a light smile, understanding Song Yi’s concern.
But Song Yi didn’t know that he was not an ordinary person, but a Spirit Master, a strong being with extraordinary abilities. In fact, if it weren’t for Song Yi, he couldn’t be bothered to placate Sangdu and his ilk. He could just grab them and give them a beating if need be. Could the Myanmar Army really stop him from leaving? A simple Invisibility Technique was all he needed to escape.
“Alright,” Song Yi said, placing her full trust in Long Xiaoshan now.
As a woman, no matter how strong she was in business, in a place where rules were discarded and only fists talked, even a strong woman was just a weak girl. If Long Xiaoshan hadn’t been there, perhaps she would have been circled and crossed by Zhou Shuanghu who had just come in.
Zhou Shuanghu’s intentions were obviously malicious when he and Sangdu came in earlier.
Song Yi took her clothes and went to the bathroom to change.
After she came out, Long Xiaoshan noticed that Song Yi was dressed extremely conservatively and teased her, “Sister Song Yi, aren’t you hot? Careful not to get a heatstroke.”
“Getting a heatstroke is better than being taken advantage of,” Song Yi said, her eyes betraying a touch of nervousness and a rare softness.
Long Xiaoshan had never seen Song Yi with such an expression. A woman, no matter how tough her exterior, has a tender heart underneath, but this vulnerability made her even more endearing.
“Sister Yi, don’t worry. With me here, no one can hurt you,” Long Xiaoshan said earnestly, his tone becoming serious.
Looking up at the earnest Long Xiaoshan, a warmth surged through Song Yi’s heart. This slick-talking guy, when he got serious, was truly a good man, and her tension dissipated instantly.
It felt like with this man by her side, even if the sky were to fall, he could hold it up.
“Mhm, I believe you,” Song Yi replied softly.
For once, the two did not banter and walked outside together. Sangdu and Zhou Shuanghu had been waiting at the front door, whispering to each other. As soon as they saw Song Yi and Long Xiaoshan come out, they stopped talking and stepped apart.
Sangdu said, “Dear Song and Long, are you ready?”
“Of course,” Long Xiaoshan replied.
“Then let’s set off.”
A group of people got into several SUVs parked at the entrance, drove out of the gate, and sped towards the mines. The mines in Pagantown were numerous, sprawling across rolling terrain. Sangdu’s mine was not far from his estate; in fact, it seemed that he had intentionally built his estate at the foot of the mine.
The mine was dotted with pits and holes, making the roads quite difficult to navigate.
However, Long Xiaoshan could clearly feel the soaring spiritual energy of the jade emanating from the mine. Pagantown really was a remarkable place, blessed with nature, as nearly all of the world’s top-quality jade converged here.
Yet these invaluable treasures were held in the hands of a very few.
Myanmar remained impoverished.
Most people lived in dire straits, while mine owners like Sangdu could indulge in unspeakably luxurious lives. Just now, Long Xiaoshan had even seen a helicopter parked within the estate grounds.
After half an hour of jolting travel,
the vehicles finally stopped at the entrance to the mine.
After everyone got out of the cars, Sangdu proudly said, “Dear Song, see for yourself, my mine ranks in the top three in Pagantown. Here, countless top-quality jade is produced every year. I will take you to visit my raw stone processing factory.”
Sangdu led Long Xiaoshan and the others into a nearby large building. The entrance to the building was heavily guarded with armed security, rigorously strict, with searches required for entry and exit.
Of course, as the boss, Sangdu definitely didn’t need to be searched.
After entering with a few people, Song Yi inhaled sharply. Inside the vast factory, piles of raw stones were heaped up like small hills.
Many workers were busy selecting raw stones or cutting them.
“Look at this, my display room. These are all my collected pieces,” Sangdu led Long Xiaoshan and others into a display room isolated by bulletproof glass. Inside, bright lighting shone upon the large quantity of jade on display.
All of them were crystalline, top-quality jade.
“Emerald Green!”
“Blue Blood Jade.”
All kinds of top-grade jade could be seen here.
Without the stimulus of the Blue Serpent Fruit, Song Yi’s eyes already sparkled, her breathing quickened.
Seeing these items, each worth hundreds of millions, laid out here and not just one or two pieces, anyone’s adrenaline would surely surge, right?
Long Xiaoshan scanned the collection, but his gaze settled on a thumb-sized piece of jade in the corner. He walked over, staring at this jade which was not transparent like typical jade, but rather milky white.
As a rule, the more transparent the jade, the better. White-colored jade like this is usually considered impure, filled with too many impurities, essentially junk.
Yet this piece of jade was displayed here.

Long Xiaoshan’s heartbeat quickened. This was a piece of jadeite!
If Emerald Green is considered the king among jades, then jadeite is not just any king–it’s the Celestial Spirit among jades, a Spirit Jade, belonging to spiritual materials, a completely different concept from ordinary jade.
He had not expected to find jadeite in the jade mines of Pagantown.
This was indeed an unexpected delight!
