Chapter 40: The Mustika Ring

  "Haha, haha, nothing much, just asking if I've eaten yet." I laughed it off and casually brushed Miao'er's question aside.

  "Oh..." Mei'er responded with a sound, and didn't think much of it. It was as if she suddenly remembered something, picked up the wooden ring on the table, and handed it to me saying: "Xiati, have you discovered that this ring has some special features?"

  I took it over and pretended to take a look: "It's just a wooden ring, what's so good about it?" This thing that looks like a ring, I really didn't pay much attention to it.

  "Take another look!" Mei'er said seriously as she looked at me.

  Could it be that this thing is some kind of treasure? If it's really a treasure, then why would the antique shop owner give it to me for free? But Mei'er's serious expression didn't seem like she was joking.

  He lifted the wooden ring again and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look. This time, he really saw something special. After absorbing the Blood Evil Ancestor's primordial spirit, his vision had been greatly enhanced, so this time he could clearly see the texture on the surface of the wooden ring.

  It's strange that these textures are like a string of characters, very natural, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see anything. What's even more frustrating is that even if I notice that the texture looks like text, I don't recognize it at all.

  Apart from that, the wooden ring is extremely hard, even if I use all my strength, I still can't deform it. My current strength has exceeded several times that of a normal person, let alone wood, even iron blocks can be pressed into an impression, but this wooden ring doesn't have any effect at all.

  "It's a bit different from ordinary wooden products." He placed the wooden ring on the table and said to Mei'er.

  Although I saw the difference in this wooden ring, I still don't know what it is. From Mei'er's expression, this thing should be related to the cultivator, after all, ordinary things won't attract Mei'er's attention.

  "In the summer, I suspect that this thing is a Susuimu ring refined by an ancient almighty cultivator! Mei'er's words shocked everyone. After seeing so many things, I still know what a Susuimu ring is - it's a storage ring from fantasy novels, and it seems that there's really something inside, not just empty talk."

  Some people looked at Mei in surprise, saying incredulously: "Does this thing really exist in the world?" As soon as these words came out, they felt extremely foolish. With a fox spirit like Mei existing, what else couldn't be possible?

  "It's still uncertain for now, Miao Er's current strength is unable to lift the seal of this high-level artifact." Miao Er said with some helplessness.

  "No big deal, I've got a way!" What a proud thing it was to unlock the seal and let this Su Mei ring recognize its master. As I said that, I picked up the fruit knife on the table.

  Mei'er saw my action and frowned: "The weapons of the mortal world cannot cause damage to this high-end magic weapon."

  Gave Mei'er a reassuring glance, then gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, raised her hand and brought down the knife.

  Damn it! Why doesn't it hurt? Opened my eyes and took a look, didn't cut myself.

  Ignoring Mei'er's silly expression, let's try again! This time, I accurately cut a small mouth on my finger, squeezed out a drop of fresh blood, and dripped it onto the wooden ring.

  "What are you doing in the summer? Why do you want to hurt yourself?" Mei'er looked at me with a pained expression.

  "Ugh! What's self-mutilation? I irritably said to Mei'er, 'This is called blood recognition, it's all written like this inside!'"

  But Mei'er obviously didn't understand what I was saying, and the most annoying thing is that the wooden ring didn't change at all. What happened to the promised radiant glow? What about the promised heart-to-heart connection?!

  Waited a bit longer, still no reaction, it seems my blood was wasted. Who the hell came up with this "blood recognition" method? Isn't this just cheating people?! I've shed this one drop of blood, don't know how many steamed buns I need to eat to make up for it! One steamed bun costs 50 cents! Fifty cents!

  Mei'er looked at me with a frantic expression, covering her mouth and giggling, her old face turned red, looking at Mei'er dryly laughing twice: "Mistake mistake!"

  I thought I was a pioneer of the new era, but I ended up falling into the hands of feudal superstition. Alas! It's really a case of being wise for a lifetime and confused for a moment.

  "There is only one way to forcibly open the Xumi Ring, and that is to erase the seal inside with spiritual power equivalent to one-tenth of the caster's. Where did you learn this method of recognizing the master with a drop of blood?" Mei'er said with a gloating expression.

  "With my current spiritual power, I should be able to erase the seal inside, right?" Now he was full of confidence, after all, he had refined the primordial spirit of Blood Evil Ancestor, and his spiritual power had been greatly enhanced.

  Mei'er looked at me with a somewhat helpless expression and said: "Your current spiritual power is still not enough..."

  "Impossible? I've refined the primordial spirit of Blood Fiend Ancestor!" I couldn't believe it, thinking that Mei'er was deceiving me, although I knew she wouldn't do such a thing based on her character.

  "Although you've already refined the Blood Fiend Ancestor's primordial spirit, it hasn't been fully absorbed and merged yet. The most important thing is that your spiritual power has suddenly increased, but you're not familiar with it yet, so you can't completely control it. If you rashly try to break the seal on the Mustard Seed Ring, you'll invite a backlash."

  "What if I get rejected?" Honestly, I won't give up. If I get rejected and nothing major happens, I'll still try again.

  "Being counter-attacked will lead to mental power disorder, in simpler terms... " Mei'er paused for a moment before continuing: "Become mentally ill!"

  I'm shocked! I thought that in the summer, wherever I go, people would admire me, flowers would bloom, and cars would burst their tires for me, this extraordinary handsome guy, absolutely cannot become a mental patient. This matter of becoming a monk can be put aside for now.

  "Never mind." Made a bitter face, had to give up. Wrapped the suspected Su Mei ring in toilet paper and put it in the drawer under the desk.

  "In summer, I'm hungry......" Mei'er suddenly rubbed her belly, looking at me with a wronged expression.

  Mei'er was originally a heavenly beauty, and now she's putting on this pitiful appearance, it's heartbreaking.

  Stroking Mei'er's beautiful hair, she said softly: "What do you want to eat?"

  "Chicken...". Mei'er's index fingers of both hands drew circles in front of her chest, saying with embarrassment.

  "No problem, I'll buy it for you right away." Mei'er heard my response and was excited all over her face, like a little kid. But I felt puzzled - logically speaking, Mei'er shouldn't need to eat anymore, so why has she been feeling hungry lately?

  Since Mei'er has already unsealed two of her tail seals, she doesn't have to stay by my side and can avoid being discovered by those demon hunters for a while, so I let her stay at home. After all, it's broad daylight, if she were to fly around with me, it would be strange if we weren't caught by the secret department and dissected.

  Turned on the computer and played "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" for her, then left.

  Of course, during this period, she couldn't help but ask questions, although she had already used her mind-reading skills to obtain a lot of modern information from ordinary people, she was still full of curiosity and read with great interest.

  Since it was daytime, the roast chicken shop was open for business, so I didn't go to the supermarket and went straight to a nearby famous roast chicken shop. I bought a roast chicken and was worried that Mei'er would be starving, so I ran all the way home.

  "Hmm... Ah... Ayaka fell..." Just as I opened the door, a seductive voice came from my bedroom. I was about to enjoy it, but suddenly remembered... Oh no! Mei is in my room!

  Rushed into the bedroom, only to see on the computer screen, two bodies entwined together, while Mei's face was flushed red, looking flustered and at a loss.
