After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

The ring hit Donghuang Li's small nose directly.

The girl felt a stinging sensation in her nose, and her eyes seemed to well up with tears.

"Ahhhhh!!!" Ignoring the fact that she was only wearing a single layer of clothing, Donghuang Li immediately tried to get up and pounce on Shi Yan.

However... Donghuang Li clearly underestimated her own abilities.

Girls are naturally sorcerers.

In terms of physical fitness, he could probably only bully Ming Zhongqing, who was "jealous of talent" and had been in a state of illness for many years.

In addition... she's in a state where all her strength seems to have been drained away.

Without the help of her hands or spiritual energy, she couldn't support herself at all using only the strength of her waist.

The blankets around the girl's knees were already bunched up.

Clearly, she was now 'doing her best', her legs were tightly pressed together, almost turning inward.

But... it still didn't stand up.

Donghuang Li, who already looked aggrieved and on the verge of tears, was now really about to cry.

The teacher spoke with a hint of helplessness.

Actually... she has a lot of experience in coaxing girls who are like little girls, like to act cute, and are easily jealous and upset.

She reached out and grabbed Donghuang Li's hand, pulling the girl up to straighten her slender waist.

Donghuang Li just stared wide-eyed.

I feel ashamed.

He couldn't even do something this simple, and Shi Yan treated him like a child.

The most crucial thing is...

Donghuang Li looked at the picture book spread out on Shi Yan's lap.

How could she go through her own ring!

The girl leaned on Shi Yan's shoulder, gently swaying her waist, her soft, weak little fists landing on Shi Yan.

"thief!"

"You're a thief!"

"They actually went through someone else's storage ring!"

Shi Yan then realized... the ring Donghuang Li was talking about wasn't the one around her neck.

It was a storage ring on the girl's hand.

She grabbed Donghuang Li's small fist.

Donghuang Li's body trembled slightly, and the girl seemed to hold her breath. She raised her head and looked at Shi Yan with a gaze that seemed to be so tender that it was almost glistening with tears.

Refuse?

It was probably a case of feigning reluctance while simultaneously welcoming, or wanting to speak but being too shy to do so.

"Shishishishi..." she murmured softly, unable to speak.

Shi Yan held the girl's small fist, and then easily separated her clenched right hand.

Because she was a girl with a high level of affection, Shi Yan wasn't too careful.

The teacher's words were clear.

Under the filter of unwavering affection, even if the action of squeezing a girl's fist is a bit violent, as long as it doesn't hurt her, it's okay.

on the contrary--

Because of the excessively high level of favorability.

Such a somewhat rough action can actually help establish one's dominance.

Shi Yan doesn't like to hand over the initiative to others.

This is why she doesn't want to go to the tavern unless absolutely necessary.

The tavern owner always said...

Because of the agreement, she couldn't "take the initiative" to attack herself.

But in front of that woman, Shi Yan always had the illusion that he was completely under her control.

Even Wen Ruya back then didn't give Shi Yan this feeling.

Shi Yan disliked this feeling of being controlled.

on the contrary--

She looked at the shy girl in front of her.

It's so much fun to bully girls like this.

The simple act of prying open a girl's fist made Donghuang Li feel as if all her defenses had been easily breached and dismantled by Shi Yan.

Shi Yan looked at Donghuang Li.

Donghuang Li raised her eyes almost weakly.

The moment their eyes met, Donghuang Li felt dizzy, her body went weak, and she even felt like she was about to get drunk and sway.

A strange sensation surged between her temples, making her feel unsteady.

Shi Yan really liked the helpless and shy expression on the girl's face.

This made her feel genuinely happy.

Holding the girl's small hand, Shi Yan shook it in front of Donghuang Li.

He gestured for the girl to look at the ring on her hand.

"I didn't touch your storage ring—" Although there are indeed some secret techniques that allow one to steal the contents of a ring without killing its original owner.

However, Shi Yan has not yet encountered anyone from the Sikong family.

Before you've even slept with the other person, obtain "Master Thief" through the "Romantic Encounters" event.

The master said that he had not yet unlocked the ability to "steal".

Donghuang Li held her breath.

Apparently—

For Donghuang Li now, whether Shi Yan had searched through her storage ring or not was no longer important.

She was more concerned with other things.

Shi Yan released Donghuang Li's hand.

Donghuang Li slowly lowered her hand, still feeling a faint sense of loss in her heart.

The teacher showed the girl the jewelry on his hand.

Donghuang Li's pupils contracted.

"So...so beautiful."

Of course, Donghuang Li was referring to the ring, absolutely... absolutely not Shi Yan's hand.

"Slurp—"

"Even more beautiful than in the painting."

She was talking about the ring!

Her great-grandmother showed her a picture of a ring.

It was definitely not the one that was spread out on Shi Yan's lap; Donghuang Li had looked at the picture book countless times.

That is...

"The ring I'm talking about is this one," Shi Yan said with a hint of helplessness.

"The Ring of the Eastern Lord." Donghuang Li softly uttered the name of the ring on Shi Yan's hand.

Shi Yan recalled the gentle and affectionate way his ancestor, Lady Wenwan, put jewelry on him.

"This is an agreement—"

"It is also a vow."

"It contains the full force of an Enlightenment Realm cultivator's attack."

"I hope... one day it can protect Xiao Shiyan for me."

Is this the warning from Dongjun?

Shi Yan opened his character attribute panel and went straight to the equipment slot.

Sure enough, the original name of the ring, "The Mysterious Ring," has been changed to "The Ring of the Eastern Lord."

[An agreement?]

【pledge?】

It is still a vigil spanning hundreds of years.

[A ring containing the resentful blow of a cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm.]

A furious strike?

It seems that what happened back then wasn't as simple as I thought.

Shi Yan looked at his own hands.

I now have a ring on my hand.

The [Ring of the Eastern Lord] given by our ancestor, the [Fate of Pardon] obtained from Yunmengji, which cannot be removed.

And... the most significant thing was the storage ring I exchanged with Xiaxia.

Even after receiving the [Entangled Flow Ring] from Qin Suhuai, which was more than ten times larger than Xiaxia's storage ring, Shi Yan did not replace the original ring. Instead, he tied the [Entangled Flow Ring] around his neck, hanging it together with [Immortal Sword: Nine Provinces] and [Dance of Fine Snow].

Moreover... it is said that Shi Jiuzhou and Xixue Zhiwu are hung around the neck.
