"You've taken a fancy to one of the unusual stones here?" Yao Xi was astonished to hear Taiyi's question.
She could not help looking around at the unusual stones in all their strange shapes and varieties, their prices so outrageous that even she, a Holy Maiden, could not afford them.
She was very curious about which stone had caught his eye.
