Chapter 1286 White Jade
The church''s decoration style was grand and majestic, with flying eaves and arches, golden zed
tiles, red walls, intricately carved beams, and painted rafters, creating a spectacr atmosphere.
Hand in hand, they ascended the steps, apanied by the sound of bells ringing in their ears and the
distant chanting of priests.
Upon entering the church, they offered a donation and approached the altar, bowing and offering
candles.
Skyler then turned to the priest beside him and pleadingly looked at Lazlo. "Won''t you help me ask him
how I can get a talisman?"
He wanted to ensure Shirley''s safety by acquiring a talisman.
Shirley was quite timid, but with the protection of a talisman, she could gain courage and feel secure.
Lazlo took the opportunity to converse with the priest before he informed Skyler, "Simply offer more
donation money, kneel before God, and pray for safety. In doing so, you will receive a talisman."
He added, "The talismans in this church are all blessed and highly effective."
"Sounds simple enough."
Skyler released Shirley''s hand and approached the altar. After he ced a generous amount of money,
he lit a candle and knelt before the votive candle stands, bowing and offering the candle.
The priest approached with a bowl of holy water, dipped his fingers in the water, sprinkled a few drops
on Shirley''s body, and handed her a red embroidered talisman.
"Thank you."
Shirley epted the talisman and bowed to the priest.
Lazlo conveyed Shirley''s gratitude.
"Allow me to put it on for you."
Skyler examined the silver lock-shaped talisman, a small ornament with delicate and beautiful patterns,
devoid of any tackiness.
He stood behind Shirley and ced it around her neck.
Shirley felt touched by Skyler''s gestures.
"Alright. Now that you have the talisman on, all those demons and ghosts will stay away from you. You
don''t have to be afraid anymore."
Skyler raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Whether the talisman had any actual effect or not, it at least provided a sense of security.
Shirley touched the talisman on her neck and smiled without uttering a word.
"Hahaha!" Lazlo suddenly burst intoughter and reminded them, "This talisman is packaged in a
sachet-style bag. Open the bag. There''s a piece of jade inside."
"Really?"
Skyler was somewhat skeptical.
Standing in front of Shirley, he opened the sachet and found a sachet-style bag inside.
Upon opening it, he discovered a square piece of white jade with runes carved on its surface.
The thumb-sized white jade was engraved with golden runes. The runes were notrge, but they
resembled decorative patterns which exuded elegance and beauty.
The two exchanged nces and smiled.
"Are we dumb or what?" Shirley covered her mouth and chuckled.
"It doesn''t matter. We are new here and still have much to learn. There''s no need to feel embarrassed."
Skyler suddenly realized that the hidden n possessed abundant mineral resources, including gold
mines, diamond mines, and jade mines. That exined why the price of jade here was rtively low,
making it affordable for everyone.
No wonder Anthony and the others had always coveted the hidden n.
He gazed at the translucent white jade on Shirley''s neck. In his home country, it could easily fetch at
least 15 thousand dors. However, it was surprisingly inexpensive here.
Indeed, there was no harm in makingparisons.
Afterward, the three of them leisurely explored the church. It was already 9 p.m. then, and reluctantly,
they returned to One Piece Restaurant.

Once inside their room, Shirley closed the door. As soon as she turned around, Skyler embraced her
and leaned down to kiss her lips.
"Mmm... Skyler, what are you doing?" Shirley asked.
"You little troublemaker, can''t you stay away from Lazlo from now on?"
