There is another point that Cheng Yu did not mention, which is that the Qilin carving was too casual and not as delicate as other similar carvings, so it's easy to overlook.

  "Pi Xiu has been a auspicious creature for warding off evil and attracting wealth since ancient times, but I've never seen one carved from golden camphor wood before. Unfortunately, there's no mark left on it to guess who the original owner was, we can only speculate based on its historical culture." Cheng Yu said with a hint of sigh.

  Gu Meng completely agrees with Cheng Yu's point of view. Just by looking at the shape of this Pixiu, it is impossible to tell which dynasty it belongs to.

  If it were an ordinary day, Gu Mei could still estimate the temperature from the heat transmitted by her left hand. However, the heat she felt from this wooden object was quite different. She didn't know if it was because the wood itself had formed over millions of years and gave her that feeling, or because it had been carved in a relatively early era.

  All she knew was that she liked the golden silk wood carving of Pixiu from the bottom of her heart, and when she held it in her hand, she couldn't bear to put it down.

  "Although I couldn't determine what era it belongs to, I know it's definitely been around for many years and wasn't made recently." Gu Mian said in a low voice.

  "I think so too." Cheng Yu's voice paused, and he looked at Gu Mian with some hesitation: "What do you plan to do with this? Are you going to keep it for yourself or sell it off? If you want to sell it, I know some people who like collecting Yīn Chén Mù (Dark Wood), I can help you ask around."

  "Thank you, I really like it and can't bear to sell it." When Gu Mian bought this Pixiu, she had already made up her mind that no matter what, she would not sell it.

  It's possible that Gu Xiang felt a deep connection with the Qiuqiu, just like Mr. Qiao said, and it could be said that they had "fallen in love at first sight".

  Cheng Yu heard that Gu Ming had no intention of selling, and there was no disappointment in his expression. Instead, he said: "This is also good. This kind of thing can be encountered but not sought after. Keeping it for oneself is also good. It's said that the golden silk nanmu is the most mysterious and extraordinary wood in the world, able to sense the changes in yin and yang and the weather. Moreover, it has a medicinal effect that calms the mind and soothes the spirit, lowering blood pressure. It also emits a unique fragrance, called 'room fragrance', which makes people feel carefree and joyful when smelled. The fragrance of nanmu can nurture one's spirit and prolong life."

  "That's great! I've really picked up a treasure this time!" Gu Mei happily patted the Pixiu on the head.

  "Indeed." Cheng Yu's expression couldn't help but reveal some envy towards Gu Mian's good fortune.

  She didn't have any suspicions about Gu Mian, she just thought that Gu Mian was really lucky and had a good affinity with the Pixiu.

  From Cheng Yu's mouth, Gu Mei finally knew what material the Qilin was carved from, and her doubts were somewhat dispelled. After a lot of trouble, it wasn't early anymore, and they still had to catch a plane back tomorrow morning, so Gu Mei didn't want to stay here and disturb Cheng Yu's rest. They just exchanged phone numbers with each other, and she also expressed that after returning, she would find time to invite Cheng Yu out for dinner as a thank you.

  Cheng Yu neither refused nor immediately agreed, only saying that it was just a small matter and would be discussed after returning.

  It's not just Gu Xiang who has been thinking about the material and age of the Qilin. Professor Wang has also been thinking about it. Not to mention anything else, this wooden carving of Qilin was bought back by his student at a high price. As a teacher, he can't help but care, let alone when Gu Xiang bought the Qilin and showed off its precious appearance, making it hard for him not to pay attention.

  So after coming out of Cheng Yu's room, Gu Mei didn't go back to her own room but instead went to Professor Wang's place.

  Just then, Mr. Qiao and Qin Sheng were also in Professor Wang's room, so Gu Mei told everyone the appraisal result given by Cheng Yu.

  "I knew you'd take a liking to this unassuming wooden Pixiu, turns out I underestimated my own eyesight, indeed the waves of the Yangtze River push forward one after another, and it seems I'm not willing to admit defeat even in old age!" Professor Wang was overjoyed when he heard that the wooden Pixiu purchased by Gu Mei was actually carved from golden nanmu wood.

  Luckily he had previously worried that Gu Meng would spend a lot of money for the first time following him to this kind of place. It seems that his worries were unnecessary.

  "Nowadays, young people are getting more and more capable. This Pixiu has a good meaning, it's an object for attracting wealth and treasure. Since you're planning to keep it for yourself, Xiao Gu, you should take good care of it. Hopefully, its ability to attract wealth and treasure will be passed on to you." Mr. Qiao said with a half-joking tone.

  "Right, right, let this Pixiu pass on its wealth-seeking and treasure-hunting functions to you." Professor Wang also chimed in.

  Qin Sheng sat on one side without saying a word, but his eyes revealed a lot of smile.

  "However, this Pixiu's belly is really big. I have seen many big-bellied Pixius before, but I feel that in terms of proportion, this Pixiu's belly is the biggest." Mr. Qiao touched the round and plump belly of the Pixiu.

  "The bigger the belly of the Pixiu, the more gold, silver and jewels it has eaten. From ancient times to the present, anything that attracts wealth is something people like." Professor Wang said with a smile.

  "Me too." Mr. Qiao smiled and returned the wooden carving to Gu Mei.

  Gu Mei had been so delighted in her heart that she hadn't noticed the size of this Qilin's belly. Only now, after hearing Mr. Qiao's words, did she realize that this Qilin's belly was truly unusually large.

  It would be great if there were really gold, silver and jewels inside!

  Thinking of this, Gu Mei involuntarily stretched out her left hand and stroked the belly of Pixiu back and forth.

  Suddenly, Gu Mei's heart skipped a beat, and the stroking motion on the raccoon dog's belly also paused for a moment, but that pause was very short, and before anyone else noticed, she resumed her previous action.

  This Pixiu's belly... seems to have a problem.

  For a moment, Gu Mei's mind became somewhat disordered, and even when Professor Wang spoke to her, she was not very focused.

  Professor Wang thought it was Gu Mei being lazy, so he wasn't very focused and waved his hand to let Gu Mei go back to her room to rest early, as they had to get up early the next day to go to the airport.

  Gu Mei was eager to be alone for a while, so she didn't refuse Professor Wang's kindness. After waving goodbye to Qin Sheng and Mr. Qiao beside her, she prepared to return to her room.

  Mr. Qiao and Qin Sheng seemed to have something more to say to Professor Wang, and didn't mean to leave with Gu Mian, they just repeatedly reminded Gu Mian to get some rest early.

  Without attending to other matters, Gu Mei left Professor Wang's room and immediately returned to her own room. After ensuring the door was locked, she carefully flipped over the Pixiu to examine it closely.

  Just now in Professor Wang's room stroking the belly of the Bixi, for a moment, Gu Mian's heart had that kind of comfortable feeling interrupted.

  It was really, really small, so small that even Gu Ming didn't know if it was his own illusion.

  To confirm whether the feeling just now was her own illusion, she took a deep breath and slowly calmed down her tense heart. Then, closing her eyes, she stretched out her left hand to gently stroke back and forth on Pixiu's belly.

  She remembered it was probably this piece...

  Her fingers slowly stroked the smooth belly of the Qilin, and after not feeling anything unusual, she continued to move down, but Gu Miao still didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.

  Recalling the scene in Professor Wang's room at that time, Gu Mei's fingers gradually moved towards the Qilin's buttocks.

  It's right here!

  Gu Meng suddenly opened her eyes, and she had just clearly felt the comfortable feeling of being stroked by fingers on her forehead when it was interrupted.

  At this moment, where her fingers were waiting was indeed the place of Pixiu's anus, but since Pixiu is a mythical creature without an anus, that place was also smooth.

  The fingers gently stroked that place, and the inexplicable comfortable feeling of being cut off was even more pronounced, and there was also a certain regularity.

  It feels like it's round...

  In an instant, two words appeared in Gu Mian's mind - trap!

  Gu Mei felt her heart racing, earlier when Professor Wang joked that the Bixi's big belly hid treasures, she didn't pay much attention to it, just casually thinking about it in her mind, never expecting that there would really be some treasure hidden inside the Bixi's belly.

  It was only now that an unexpected situation appeared, and the simple carved Pixiu actually had something unusual about it, which made her brain's associations expand infinitely.

  She held the qilin in front of her eyes, carefully observing where she felt uncomfortable, but under the illumination of light, there was no difference at all, only the luxurious golden lines that appeared due to the illumination.

  Facing this situation, Gu Mian bit her lip and thought for a moment, then rummaged through her bag and pulled out her makeup bag, taking out a lip balm.

  She wanted to use cosmetics to mark it, although the golden wood is resistant to corrosion and moisture, but there are some chemical components in cosmetics, she couldn't bear to do something rash to destroy the beauty of Pixiu.

  This lip balm was a gift with purchase she bought before coming here and it's still brand new, never used once.

  Gu Mei found a cup in the house, quickly ran to the bathroom to scoop up a cup of water and placed it on the bedside table. Then she wetted the lip liner with water from the cup and drew a line along the route where her comfort was interrupted.

  If Gu Mian's guess was correct, the route drawn out was indeed a very regular circular shape, and the circle was not large, at most only as big as Gu Mian's little fingernail.

  Taking advantage of the ripples that had not yet disappeared, Gu Mei held a try-it-out attitude, rummaged through her makeup bag and pulled out a wooden cotton swab, then pressed it down hard on the center of the ripples.

  Bang!

  Gu Mei immediately heard a faint sound like something popping out, and the place where she pressed with a cotton swab actually sank in.

  At this moment, in the middle of Pixiu's buttocks, where there was originally no anus, it looked like there was an extra anus.
