754: Chapter 497 754: Chapter 497 Jiang Tang agreed to the requests of nine beautiful women, promising to send them equally stunning jewelry in the future.
The ladies were overjoyed!
They could trust Jiang Tang’s words.
While not the most responsible man, he was a gentleman of his word.
They also knew that this man possessed many treasures, and as long as he was willing, anyone would gladly exchange their prized possessions for his supreme elixirs.
Jiang Tang already had gifts to give away, so he landed the flying artifact in the small courtyard where he had previously lived.
He then allowed the children to disembark first and enter the house with the beautiful women.
Considering the children needed to sleep and rest before discussing matters, he had the workers responsible for the courtyard take the little ones down to sleep.
No one would suspect that Jiang Tang, a guest who suddenly brought so many children to the yard, was trafficking them.
The workers knew the guest’s identity and the name of an organization called Saint Sect; perhaps these children were the new disciples Saint Sect had recruited.
Jiang Tang went with a few beautiful women to the living room of the courtyard, where he met Yan Weiwei and her family.
Aside from the sister-in-law, who had taken the children to sleep, everyone else was present.
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin were also in the living room.
Upon seeing Jiang Tang arrive, they greeted him with respect and presented him with storage bags full of purchased items, along with a detailed gift list.
Jiang Tang sat down with the ladies and had Yan Weiwei’s parents collect the items their subordinates had bought.
They took the list, and tomorrow, when the dowry was presented, someone would read the quantities and names of the dowry items to the guests.
Jiang Tang also presented some additional storage bags he had prepared for Yan Weiwei’s dowry.
Inside these bags were items received from royal sources and others obtained through exchanges.
Yan Weiwei’s parents, who had never seen such an array of gifts, were in awe.
Now being part of the cultivation world, they could use their divine sense to inspect the items inside the storage bags.
The things Jiang Tang had purchased were all dowry items: screens, dressing tables, room and living room decorations.
Clothes chests, tables, chairs—all the timber was of the finest quality.
The two storage bags Jiang Tang gave were even more incredible, containing items that only the royal family could possess: woolen carpets, ornate mosquito nets, various room decorations.
There was also jewelry and other valuables.
The parents marveled, for not even a princess’s dowry from the royal family could match this extravagance.
Let alone commoners like them, when had they ever seen such treasures?
They had only heard in tales of emperors with bridal processions ten miles long for their princesses.
Or of some family’s bridal procession stretching for miles.
In the cultivation world, dowry items packed in storage bags might seem like just a few bags, but the contained treasures were extensive.
If they were displayed openly, it would be far more than just a bridal procession of ten miles.
Usually, dowries are just recited for others to hear; the true treasure is kept by the bride herself.
The bride’s family mustn’t covet it either.
After accepting the storage bags, Yan Weiwei’s parents handed them over to her.
This dowry, prepared by Jiang Tang for Yan Weiwei, should be in her keeping.
Tomorrow, during the reading of the gift list, they would momentarily display each precious item for the guests to see before putting them away again.
Though it seemed a bit troublesome and redundant,
it was all for show, and the more spectacular and grand, the higher the bride’s status would seem to others.
Yan Weiwei looked at Jiang Tang with grateful eyes.
She knew that this disciple was not short of silver and had put his heart into this.
He had come back from afar, just to stand by her based on her single request.
“Sister, this is a gift I refined with my own hands.”
Yan Weiwei carefully took it, tears shimmering in her moved eyes, yet her lips curved into a smile:
“Jiang Tang, thank you!”
“Haha, you’re my senior sister, it’s only right!” Jiang Tang replied nonchalantly, yet Yan Weiwei could feel that he had put his heart into the gifts.
The jewelry box in her hands felt as heavy as a thousand pounds—not in weight, but in value and thoughtfulness.
“Open it and see if you like it?” Jiang Tang added.
“Mm,” Yan Weiwei carefully opened the jewelry box.
As she did, it seemed as if everyone saw Buddha light flowing around it, almost forming the character for “Buddha” in the air.
When the jewelry box was opened, there was a collective gasp.
Inside lay a necklace that sparkled with white light, golden light, and a clear shimmering glow, made of three different materials.
The light from the jewelry box outshone the room’s lamps in the night.
Yan Weiwei thought of decorative lights found in bases and sensed that this necklace was more than just a bright adornment, possessing more functions.
Only Jiang Tang could explain its features to her.
Yan Weiwei exclaimed, and all who saw it echoed her admiration.
Luo Yaxuan, upon seeing the jewelry, thought it stunningly beautiful.
Despite having similar materials, he hadn’t managed to create such a beautiful design.
Now with this template, he could imitate it, making a similar but uniquely styled necklace for his junior sister.
Lai Jianlin had the same thought.
He hadn’t seen his junior sister for days, and once the hustle of recent days was over, he would find time to craft some jewelry from his materials, especially for his mother, grandmother, and junior sister.
