Chapter 232: Dragon Jade Porcin Vase


    Lte opened the door and walked inside first.


    Afterward, she turned around to look at Zen, "Make sure to walk in slowly and follow closely behind."


    Zen nodded his head as he entered inside and the door automatically closed.


    ''A mechanism door huh?'' Zen eximed inwardly when he saw the door shut tightly.


    "Are you really amazed by a door equipped with some mechanism?" Lte said when she realized he was staring at it in a daze.


    Zen snapped out of his daze and smiled briefly, "Nah, I''m just surprised why you opened it manually if the door was equipped with the mechanism."


    Lte pushed the door open with her hands so Zen didn''t expect the door to close by itself.


    "It''s proper etiquette to open the door manually for the guest," Lte said calmly and started walking ahead.


    Zen chuckled softly at her attitude as he found her words logical. The guest would be slightly displeased if they don''t feel honored at all for entering a person''s home.


    Not to mention, this was the Peace Blossom Court within the imperial court where etiquette is everywhere.


    Thus, Zen quickly followed behind while staring at some furniture and rooms as he passed by.


    "How much does that thing cost?" Zen asked as he pointed at a porcin vase.


    The porcin was blinking brightly as it caught his attention and Zen couldn''t help but be mesmerized by the craftworks of the vase.


    Lte stopped her walking to look at the porcin vase Zen pointed before smiling briefly.


    "That is a Dragon Jade Porcin Vase that Princess Krista Dragoon won in a bet against the neighboring Kingdom," Lte said and started exining the backstory of the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase.


    "There was a famous crafter, named Julian and his craftsmanship was top notch amongst every kingdom. Almost every Kingdom''s ruler has some decoration crafted by Julian and one time, he crafted the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase."


    "Julian figured out the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase would suit the Jade Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom but you should know the rtionship between the two Kingdom isn''t ideal so both Kingdom decided to make a match and Princess Krista won it with her unparalleled skills."


    When Lte finished exining, there was a hint of pride in her emotion on Krista Dragoon, shocking Zen deeply.


    ''It seems like Lte''s emotion only changes when Krista is involved in the conversation.'' Zen eximed inwardly as he decided to enquire further on the challenge that Krista Dragoon won.


    "By unparalleled skills, what exactly did Krista do to win the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase?" Zen asked.


    "Sorry but that''s not my position to say what happened back then." Lte returned to her deadpan expression and refused to answer Zen''s question.


    Zen twitched his mouth slightly as he got a cliffhanger by Lte.


    "You''re leaving out the most important details and are just telling me the basic information," Zenined and tried to get her to finish theplete story.


    He didn''t need to know about the result since it should have been known for everyone that lived in the Jade Kingdom. What he wanted to know is some behind the scene information, one that is kept a secret from the public.


    However, Lte kept her lips tight without any intention of answering Zen as she walked ahead without caring about his irritated expression.


    Zen saw thatining wouldn''t work on Lte but he started making an evil grin when he knew exactly the thing to do to make this kind of dutiful maid talk.


    ''I have had a maid previously on Earth and I know exactly how to make her talk.'' Zen sneered inwardly as he walked toward the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase.


    Afterward, he picked the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase to his hand and shouted, "Lte, what will happen to you if the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase broke in Krista''s Peace Blossom Court no less."


    Lte was confused by his question and turned around to see what he was doing.


    When she realized his hand was holding the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase, she turned pale.


    "What are you doing?" Lte shouted in a panicked voice as she tried to dash toward Zen to snatch the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase away from him.


    However, Zen was faster as he dodged away from Lte and raised his hand to halt her movement.


    "Don''te any closer or else I''m afraid my hand will be shaky and it would be bad if the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase dropped to the ground because of it." Zen chuckled softly as he shook his hand slightly, frightening Lte in the process.


    Lte was in panic mode but then she started to calm down after her initial fright.


    Afterward, she smirked at Zen and shouted, "Go ahead and drop the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase."


    Zen was rendered speechless when her attitude suddenly changed and tried to bluff her further.


    "Are you sure about that?" Zen asked as he started to hold it with his two fingers only.


    The bluff seemed to have failedpletely as Lte ced her hands in the hip.


    "Do it, sir," Lte shouted and when Zen swallowed nervously, she shouted once again.


    "JUST DO IT!"


    Zen was rendered speechless by her words and realized she was bluffing him as well.


    ''Fine, let''s do it then.'' Zen shouted inwardly as he released his two fingers and the Dragon Jade Porcin Vase started to drop into the ground.


    Lte''splexion became difficult when she saw him actually dropping it without any hesitation.


    ''Nooooooooo'' Lte screamed internally as she tried to rush forward to catch it before it''s toote.


    However, her speed couldn''t catch up as she closed her eyes to stop herself watching from the inevitable scene.


    Lte expected to hear a loud bang from the point of impact but was surprised to hear nothing.


    Slowly, she opened one of her eyelids to see if the vase had been cracked and to her disbelief, Zen was still holding the vase in his hand.
