"My pearl? What pearl?"I asked confused. "When I left, I went to the place where the battle took place. As I was walking around I saw something guiltering like gold on the ground and then I thought of picking it up. The moment I put it in my hand, everything that happened during the battle summoned to my head.

Huxley falls behind me, his arms wrapping around the middle of my stomach making it so I can't breathe out for fear he'll notice how large my gut is when I'm not sucking it in and standing with my back straight.

Mo Buyu was frightened. On the island, when the cultivators saw this scene, they could not help but sigh at the sharpness of the Archean Demonic Soul Symbol and the tenacity of the formation. But at this time, the voice of Caspian suddenly resounded through heaven and earth. "Speaking of which, what a coincidence. I also have a pearl. However, my precious bead has never been used as a shell. Fierce Spirit Oceanic Dominion Pearl!" In the blink of an eye, precious light shot out in all directions with a vicious aura that shook heaven and earth.

These are the finished products I have made before. The wooden box is small but is designed with two compartments, both used to store poison preparation tools. However, this is just a basic set of tools, only enough to make low-level poisons. Some powerful poisons require more professional tools. I picked up the book. It looked ancient as if it had been around for a long time. I carefully cherished each page of the book, afraid that I would break the book if I were a little too strong. The content of this book is the fruit of Pearl's lifelong research. She meticulously wrote down all the poisons she invented in the book. Although I have read this book many times and am able to memorize it, I

The last notes of the birthday song still hung in the air when my best friend dropped a bombshell. "Our very own heartthrob has gone all out to show his devotion to Yasmine with a surprise gift—the Peterson Group's legendary heirloom pearl bracelet!" The word 'heirloom' sent a ripple of excitement through my friends, who started whooping and hollering. I was buzzing with a different kind of excitement, not like the joy I felt in my previous life. Gazing at the softly glowing pearl bracelet, my hands balled into fists as the truth hit me—I had a second chance at life.

Well, if it's any consolation, me and my siblings joked that her rudeness must have soured her face. Macy snorts. "Really?" I give a nod. Indeed. Do you think you've seen the girl? She resembles a bullfrog. She laughs, and the brightness suddenly returns to her face. A little, but not much. We ultimately return to our room, and even after saying that, I can still sense that Macy is depressed. I approach my dresser without thinking and open the jewelry box that is resting on top. I extract the pearl and golden necklace that glimmers inside. Given that pearls are extremely rare and can only be obtained in the Triule Islands, they have long been associated with nobility. They are only affordabl

FELYNDRA Darkness swallows me whole, and then fire sparks out of nowhere, engulfing the trees. I was barefoot; the ground burnt, and my lungs stung as I ran.

My hands tightened around it instinctively as if my life depended on it.

“This life of mine is a mess, Pearl. I can’t have a mate. I can’t have the one I love. And every single day I pray for a solution before I claim the lives of the pack I worked so hard for.” The look in her eyes softened, perpetuating whatever this is. “You being alive—” My voice broke, chest tightening like a dagger had been plunged into it. “—you being alive is a miracle. Anyone else would have run away after I dropped dead in front of them.” “I am not anyone,” Pearl cut in, her soft voice trembling but firm, her eyes burning into mine. Silence draped over the air, and the only thing that could be heard was the gentle sound of her steps as she walked closer to me.

Standing back up, I laid on my stomach and looked at her. Pearl laid down beside me before I sucked in a deep breath and began to speak. "It was awesome in British Columbia. However, when I got lost it took me some time to find the kids again and after that, I helped an old man. You know I can't sit idle unless I'm at home, right?" Pearl nodded lazily.

My pulse quickens as I wait for him to say more. "Bali was a good place for that," he continues. "Do you know the story about pearls?" I shake my head, clueless about what he meant. "Pearls form in deep water, preventing the mollusk from being hurt by a foreign object," he says. "Growing and protecting it, which creates pearl over time." I raise my brow, not expecting him to know about jewellery. But then, is there anything that this guy doesn't know about? "There's so much about purity and strength behind it."
