Chapter 46 - Spatial Ring

The competition eventually end with Lao Min Na become the first winner, and Xiang Feng Ran the second while Ying Xuan Xie the third, the reason Ying Xuan Xie become the third winner is because she magnanimously resign from the fights she modestly said she feels happy enough become the top three since she was here just to gain more experience nothing more than that.

Her confession makes people admired her more as sensible and gentle young lady, while Xiang Feng Ran lost because the tight score and because the fights between her and Lao Min Na prolong for a long time the judged end up used score to choose the winner wich Xiang Feng Ran and Lao Min Na agree, for Xiang Feng Ran become the winner it's not her main goal since she already the top three.

The people who feel like they just ate flies are The Lao Manor people including Zhao Mu Fan, who turns out her talented fiancée failed to become the top three and the women he was once discarded and humiliated become the winner, can't anyone imagine how embarrassed he is now. He so ashamed and angry he never visits Lao Fei Yan when she was recuperated from the battle with Lao Min Na, talk about 'heartless' man.

Meanwhile, our Princess Lorient stays leisurely at Ninjing Manor, every day she would eat pastry, learn to play chess in this world with Zhao Li Xin and watching him play Gu Qin. Zhao Li Xin also stay in the Manor he still worries about her so he accompanies her every day, it's become unclear whose serving who but everyone in the Manor already uses to Zhao Li Xin and Luo Ri Yi weird relationship and who are they dare to complain, it's a good thing their Lord feels happy.

Girsha also no telling her about his meeting with Arthea, he doesn't want this girl to become worried the last time she feels worried she runs away from home he doesn't want this to happen again especially when this girl starts to feel happy again. Girsha still observes Lao Min Na but he doesn't see anything suspicious if she really carries the marks he should be able to feel it but he doesn't feel anything and he feels relief, at least for now.

But still there is one thing weird about her, sometime she would disappear in a thin air, likes really disappeared even her aura also disappeared like she's not exist, but every time she appears again her Qi becomes stronger, Girsha thought it may be related to amulet or armament in this world so he thought there's nothing wrong report this matter to Lory.

Since Lory had little knowledge about this world, she asked Zhao Li Xin about it after she makes him promise not to ask her how did she know this.

"Mystique Realm?" Lory tilted her head. They were in the pavilion and Lory was pouring wine for Zhao Li Xin when he explains it about Lao Min Na secrets.

"From how you describe it, that is my conclusion" he lifts the cup elegantly.

"But what is that?"

Zhao Li Xin sips her wine then he continues "Mystique realm is from spatial Ring, most spatial rings are for storage but some can hiding space inside it"

"Wow, I never heard it before...but my knowledge is so little" she contemplated.

"That's normal, this ring it's very rare other than Lao Min Na only two people who had it, at least as far as I know"

"Really, who is it?" she doesn't know it can be so precious.

"The Heaven Gate sect master Wei Zu Tian or knows as 'The Sun's Emperor' and the other is me..." he said casually

"You having it too??" Lory stunned

Her shock amused him, he smiled dazzlingly "I am, do you wanna see…" he lifts his thumb and there was a black jade ring on it.

"Where do you find it?" Lory grabs his hand but not dare to touch the ring's, she never seen anything like this before even in Harland this kinda technology does not exist.

He likes the way her soft hands warped around his hands, his moods elated and his smile grew wider "I pick it up…." He said casually as if he picks a candy on the street.

"You pick it up...…???" Lory stunned again, it's even more shocking than winning the lottery.

"There's nothing impressive it's just some luck" Zhao Li Xin brush it off, he also had a few secrets he hadn't told her "Back to Lao Min Na, are you sure that's what happened?" he shifts the subject smoothly.

Lory let go her hand from him "That's what my source said, do you know where she found it?" if the ring is so rare and precious how she has it, did someone giving it to her or she picks it up just like Zhao Li Xin? if that so she would pay attention when she walks outside.

"I don't know but it explained how she raised her power so fast" Zhao Li Xin pondering.

"How?" Lory sits closer to him like a little girl wants to hear a story, the Lord's mood is on his peak so he continues.

"The mystique realm inside the rings have different time frame with the outside, it can be said one day in here can be seven days inside the ring, for cultivator who need a lot of time to increase their power this is highly beneficial, not to mention the dense Qi inside the ring is higher than outside so overall this can increase the speed to cultivated three times faster than normal"

"Is that why you so strong?"

"No, I just used the Qi inside the ring to control my poison but I cultivated normally"

"Why??" you have this treasure but you never used it, Lorry feels baffles.

Zhao Li Xin knew what she's thinking "It's a matter of principle, that's all….." as stubborn as he is, Zhao Li Xin doesn't want to depend on pill, elixir or treasure to gain his power, he also doesn't like pill or elixir because it's not good for cultivator foundations, people who used pill to breakthrough need a lot more time to adjust with his new power, compared to people who do it normally, and about treasure…..he hated the feeling owing his success to a things as if he was nothing without it, he wants able to say to himself he accomplice everything with his own power.

Just Like Lory though, Zhao Li Xin is an oddball, in the world where people would sacrifice their wealth and family for power he chose to ignore all the 'cheat' he had and using his own ability to gain his power, some people might say he was stupid but he never care what other people think or said.

"You want to depend on your own, don't you?" Lory giggles, there were the times when her Father prohibit him and Lucas to used their 'Gift' The king wants his children to depend on her own ability because there is very rare cased where people lost their 'Gift' and history teach them their enemy once created a weapon that makes Gifted people cannot use their power.

For precaution the King's insisted to train his children not to depend on their 'Gift' especially when Lucas once using his 'Gift' to appears in his class while still wearing pajamas, he wakes up late and become panic because there's a test at the school, he stupidly forgot to change her clothes and that's what happened.

She takes a picture of him and uploaded it to social media to tease him, but then 'Karma' happened one day she got a toothache and she cannot use her power at the end she forcefully sent to the dentist with Fred and the others, and the Princess scream can be her from outside the hospital.

"What else the ring could do?" Lory asks again.

"Depend on the rings grades and the owner power, it would determine how large the realm would be, the bigger the realm the better it would be"

"How about your ring's, is it a higher grade ring?"

"It's fine, a years ago I manage to upgrade the ring quality so it's even better now" he said casually like it's nothing but if anyone who has spatial ring with mystique realm in it they would vomit to death, armament master who can upgrade or create spatial ring with mystique realm in it is so little almost close to none.

To create a mystic realm it depends on how high your armament level is, but it depends on the ability of understanding about space, material, and element and also their mental strength, that's how hard it is.

"Sound's amazing to me…" Lory smiles at him, her smiles pure and genuinely praises him make Zhao Li Xin's face flush slightly.

"I can make a spatial ring for you but only for storage, mystique realm needs decades to make it and I'm still not strong enough to create mystique real from scratch" he shifted his gaze from her.

"It's okay, that means I could store all my sweets easily!!" Lory grinned ear to ear. She doesn't know even normal spatial ring has cost millions gold tael so only very rich and noble people can have it and spatial ring also not that common mostly could only find it at the auction and the price would be triple than it's original price but Zhao Li Xin would give it to her as if it's a candy.

"Oh, I hear there would be a Banquet to celebrate the winner of the competition" Lory clapped her hand excitedly "are you invited?" she hopefully asked.

Zhao Li Xin squinted his eyes "You want to attend it?"

"If I could, yes" she nod her head.

Zhao Li Xin see she really want to attend the Banquet, he rarely attends the Royal Banquet he will avoid it if he could but if his little savior wants to attend it so he gladly fulfills it "Then we should come tomorrow"

"The party is tomorrow??" Lory gasped half nervous and half excited "I'll be your personal maid isn't it, can I come?"

"Sure….." he replied casually.

"Yeay!!"
