Especially the last one, which looks dull and lifeless.

Even people without common sense know that this is worthless.

The Duchess couldn't help but frown, because she knew that the gem was worthless.

He even specifically asked his servants to pick out the worthless ones to avoid embarrassment, but some still slipped through the net.

After Xu Lang finished his selection, people around him kept booing.

Just think that Xu Lang has commendable courage but limited ability.

Next comes the final identification stage.

Naturally, the Duchess presided over the event.

Since she had purchased it, the Duchess knew its value.

"Prince Henry has three gems, not counting the jewelry, worth three million, five million, and ten million respectively, with a total value of eighteen million!"

Everyone present took a breath.

"As for this gentleman from China, the two gems are worth seven million and four million. I bought the last one for five hundred thousand!"

The Duchess looked at Xu Lang with a slightly regretful look.

She still likes this Chinese boy very much.

"There is no other way, sir. I can only announce with regret that you..."

The Duchess was about to announce Xu Lang's failure when he interrupted her.

"Wait a minute, ma'am!"

The Duchess was somewhat displeased with Xu Lang's words.

This is impolite behavior.

But Xu Lang couldn't care less.

"This pearl, I'm afraid, has been covered in dust. Its value is beyond your imagination."

"Impossible!" The Duchess shook her head.

"Sir, I understand your feelings, but these gems have been appraised by jewelers. The gem you chose is a relic left by my late husband and is of extraordinary value to me.

But it’s really not worth anything!”

When talking about her late husband, the Duchess' eyes were filled with nostalgia.

She and her late husband were originally very much in love, but for the sake of peace, he resolutely left the Duchess.

He joined the rebel team but died on the battlefield.

The Duchess has also been waiting since she was in her twenties until now.

She looked at the gem with nostalgia.

It seems that she saw the time when her late husband was still by her side, when the two of them were in harmony and looked very loving.

Chapter 175: Canary's Last Dance

Xu Lang looked at the Duchess with deep eyes.

Interrupted her thoughts.

"Madam, I think the skills of those jewelers are not good enough, and the gift your husband left for you was deceived.

I am willing to help Madam with her doubts.”

The Duchess held out her hand and motioned for Xu Lang to try it.

There was no expectation in his eyes.

Xu Lang asked the servant to bring a basin of salt water.

The reason why he dared to let Henry choose first was because of this precious pearl.

【Name】:Tears of the Mermaid

【Value】: 50 million

[Secret]: Treasures are naturally hidden. Mermaid tears only shine brightly in seawater. After leaving the seawater, a layer of crystals will cover the surface. Only salt water or shyness can restore it to its original appearance.

Xu Lang placed the pearl in the salt water.

The original gem was round and gray-black in color.

But after being placed in salt water, the crystals outside the gem slowly dispersed and turned into water droplets.

When the crystals were completely dissolved, the gem regained its mysterious azure glow.

The Duchess covered her mouth and looked at everything in front of her in surprise.

She liked the gems left by her late husband very much. Even though they were not worth much, she would always take them out to play with them, looking at the teardrop-shaped gems in front of her.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would hardly believe that this was the same gem.

Everyone present was shocked by the scene before them.

Even Henry stared at everything in front of him with wide eyes.

If he didn't believe in himself, he would have thought that Xu Lang had replaced the original with a fake one in front of everyone.

"What's going on!" Anna looked at the gem and was also very curious.

No woman can resist such beautiful jewelry.

Xu Lang didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"Ma'am, please allow me to tell you a story."

After getting the consent, Xu Lang said: "This gem was originally produced in the East China Sea of ​​China, and its name is Mermaid's Tears.

Legend has it that in the East China Sea of ​​China, there lived a group of mermaids with human bodies and fish tails, which are the mermaids in European legends.

Mermaids are loyal and will only love one person in their entire life and will never leave them.

If a mermaid is stranded outside and separated from her lover and cannot see him/her again, she will shed tears because of missing her lover, and her tears will turn into a gem called Mermaid's Tears.

This gem also symbolizes the love your late husband had for you. Just like the mermaid, your love will never change until the end of your life!

I hope Madam can cherish this precious gem!"

Listening to Xu Lang's words, the Duchess's mind kept replaying every moment she spent with her late husband.

The Duchess, who was already crying, bowed slightly to Xu Lang.

"Thank you, gentleman from China. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know this. You are truly the most knowledgeable person I have ever met.

I declare that the winner of this duel is this gentleman! And from now on, he will be a distinguished guest of Moonlight Forest."

This gratitude is not light.

When Xu Lang turned his head to look at Prince Bourbon.

But I found that he had already escaped in disgrace.

He didn't even fulfill his promise to duel and kneel down in submission to the protagonist.

Xu Lang smiled and shook his head.

He thought Henry's behavior was just a child's temper.

"Xu"

Anna also noticed it, and she called Xu Lang in a low voice.

Xu Lang shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

He gained more.

This was clearly Anna's farewell party, but Xu Lang was surrounded by people.

Because of his erudition and the gentlemanly demeanor he had just displayed to the Duchess.

He received unanimous praise from the celebrities present.

Became the object of everyone's pursuit.

Even many young and beautiful noble girls came to Xu Lang and talked to him, holding various jewelries they had just taken off their bodies.

It was obvious that the beauty was appraising the treasure, and her target was Xu Lang. Xu Lang was about to be overwhelmed.

Anna rolled her eyes.

Quietly ran to the side and let the band start playing.

The passionate dance music started and the lights began to shine.

It's time to dance.

Anna walked up to Xu Lang and bowed gracefully like a lady.

"I wonder if Mr. Xu Lang can dance the first dance with me!"

As the host of the banquet, the first dance is the highest praise for a guest.

Facing the hand Anna extended, Xu Lang slowly put his hand on it.

The women around left in disappointment and looked for their own dance partners.

In the center of the dance floor, Xu Lang and Anna are the absolute protagonists.

"Thank you very much. These noble ladies are crazier than I believed."

Seeing Xu Lang's relieved look, Anna couldn't help but chuckle.

"How could you possibly express your desire to pursue me like crazy at the banquet?"

"You heard it all!"

"Of course."

Anna looked at Xu Lang lovingly.

“This is what I should do. Who doesn’t like a beautiful lady?

Besides your beauty, I am also fascinated by your personality!

After hearing Xu Lang's words, Anna not only did not show any happiness, but was a little disappointed.

"Unfortunately, we can't be together anymore. As you just learned, I have to go home and arrange a marriage for the sake of my family."

Although Xu Lang knew about Anna's experience from the previous bet, he was surprised when he heard her say it herself.

The mood is still quite complicated.

I took this opportunity to ask, "Don't you have any other choice? I see your parents are not such conservative people."

“No, my parents love me very much.

But sometimes, people have no choice in their lives.

I have to contribute to the family.”

Anna lifted Xu Lang's hand and then took Xu Lang's hand and spun around in the air.

This is a very common move in dance.

Anna also moved quickly.

But Xu Lang still saw her wiping away tears when she turned around.

He sighed.

I didn't expect that Anna, with a family background like hers, would have these troubles.

Xu Lang began to feel sad for the fate of the girl in front of him.

But Anna didn't think so much.

She leaned close to Xu Lang's ear and whispered, "Although I am destined to be someone else's canary, why can't I fly freely for once before entering the cage?

Would you be willing to do me this favor, my handsome and brave gentleman?"

After saying that, Anna continued dancing as usual.
