CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 183 CULLINAN DIAMOND_2

Seeing Li Xiu actually signed Li Qingyi as a spokesperson, Chu Jun was very pleased.

He had no particular thoughts about Li Qingyi, just felt that with Yuki as the spokesperson, the Demon Spirit Tournament and the City of Light would gain even greater fame.

After Chu Jun and Li Qingyi left, Li Xiu took out that Cullinan Nine and held it in his hand for careful observation.

This diamond indeed looks a lot like Cullinan Nine; although Li Xiu had never seen the real thing, he had seen photos.

Additionally, he had also seen Cullinan Two, which is embedded in the crown of that ancient country, and that crown should now be in Space City.

When Li Xiu had been in Space City, he had seen the crown and the Cullinan Two on it; this diamond’s color and other aspects seem very close to that Cullinan Two on the crown.

"Li Qingyi said that Cullinan One, Three, and Four all nurture Radiant Demon Spirits, now Nine also nurtures a Demon Spirit; all the Cullinan Diamonds should all nurture Demon Spirits, but where are the other Cullinan Diamonds? If there’s a chance to find them, maybe we can retrieve them for some experiments, see if there’s any connection between these Cullinan Diamonds’ Demon Spirits."

Li Xiu contemplated Cullinan Nine thoughtfully: "Theoretically, a gemstone able to nurture a Demon Spirit must be due to the implantation of a spirit, not necessarily related to coming from the same rough stone, unless the spirit was implanted before they’re cut, then possibly all Cullinan Diamonds have Demon Spirits."

"But if the Demon Spirit gemstone is cut, does the Demon Spirit also get cut? If it doesn’t get cut, then only one Cullinan could have the Demon Spirit, but now so many Cullinan Diamonds have Demon Spirits, this is somewhat problematic."

"Has the Demon Spirit been fragmented, or is it that during the original implantation, more than one spirit was planted in the Cullinan Diamonds?"

Li Xiu couldn’t speculate, unless he obtained other Cullinan Diamonds to possibly unravel this mystery.

Li Xiu broke his finger and let the blood drip onto Cullinan Nine.

Fortunately, Cullinan Nine didn’t reject Li Xiu’s blood like that Ruby did; the brilliant diamond absorbed his blood then immediately radiated light, finally transforming into a stream and flew to Li Xiu’s finger.

Moments later, a diamond Demon Spirit Ring appeared on Li Xiu’s finger, and looking at his hand full of gemstone rings, he felt a burst of nouveau riche delight.

"Too many Demon Spirits are also a kind of trouble; they’re nearly impossible to wear." Li Xiu wondered what would happen to these Demon Spirit Rings if he really couldn’t wear them anymore.

Sealed Demon: Can evolve Demon Spirit.

Rank: E-level.

Quality: Radiant (damaged).

"What does damaged mean? Are the nine Cullinan Diamonds indeed connected?" Li Xiu was a bit surprised as he summoned the sealed demon.

"What is this?" Seeing the appearance of the Demon Spirit, Li Xiu was somewhat stunned.

The Demon Spirit he summoned still looked like Cullinan Nine; only now Cullinan Nine could float on its own in the air, and there was a flickering red glow inside the diamond, like a blood-red devil’s eye opening and closing within.

After testing it for a while, he realized it seemed to be of no use; besides flying and flashing, it didn’t have any real combat capability nor any talent skills.

"Looks like I’ll have to find a chance to ask Li Qingyi about what the Demon Spirits of Cullinan One, Three, and Four are." Li Xiu had to summon the sealed demon back.

The next morning, Chu Jun brought over the promotional photos for Li Xiu to see; the results were surprisingly good.

Li Qingyi wore a cyan gauzy dress, resembling a fairy from ancient Eastern mythology, with a veil over her face; behind her stood Yuki, proud and aloof like an ice queen warrior.

This set of photos was basically in this style, just with varying backgrounds and poses.

"People have charm and the Demon Spirits are beautiful; each one is a masterpiece. Choose one as the main picture." Chu Jun laughed.

"This one, then." Li Xiu chose a photo with a full moon and starry sky background; he just went with his gut, pointing casually, since the entire photo set was pretty good, every picture lovely.

"Li Qingyi herself is also most satisfied with this one; your aesthetics really match, saving a lot of communication hassle." Chu Jun chuckled, "She also asked me to remind you not to forget your agreement between you two; honestly, what agreement do you have? Have you already betrayed our Singleness Community?"

Li Xiu replied irritably, "I do want to break free, but with so many things going on in the city, where’s the time or opportunity to betray? Besides, when did I join any Singleness Community?"

"True enough, when Sha Chu was here, it didn’t seem like much; now she’s gone, and we’re all busy like crazy, no time to improve ourselves. This isn’t a sustainable way of living. When exactly is Sha Chu coming back?" Chu Jun sighed.

"It’s only been two days since she left, how could she come back so soon, unless..." Li Xiu suddenly paused, "Yes, Li Qingyi’s status in the Longevity Association must be quite high, can we ask her to do us a favor and bring Sha Chu back?"
