Huang Xiaowen braced herself against the table, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

"Hahahahaha! Who carved these? Were they wholesaling fake stone tablets and throwing in anti-counterfeit taunts?"

Lingering Wind and Fading Moon's lips curved slightly. "Aside from the writing, these stone tablets are pretty convincing."

Squid Ball said, "...If I'd known he was this easy to fool, I could've carved a few characters into a rock and sold it to him too."

Ling Chu now had six stone tablets. Of the nine Elven Stone Slabs, two-thirds were already in her hands.

She had originally thought collecting all nine was practically impossible. Looking at it now, it no longer seemed quite so far out of reach.

Ling Chu put Stone Tablet No. 8 away separately, then stuffed every remaining chest in the hidden room into the Ring of Bones, contents and all.

She left none of the expensive furniture in the Captain's Cabin behind, even rolling up the carpet and taking it.
