An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth (7)

  Chen Xiaonuan took off the ring from her finger and held it out in front of Tang Sugar with an encouraging smile: "Put it on."

  Although it was a commanding tone, Sugar felt a warm current rising from the bottom of her heart, spreading throughout her body, making her eyes hot and humid. She raised her head in embarrassment, pretending to admire the vast sky.

  After a while, she finally calmed down her excited emotions and smiled with red eyes: "I don't dare to want such precious things."

  "It can protect you." Chen Xiaonuan said gently.

  Tang Tang seemed to have understood something, and his eyes widened in surprise: "The wound on me..."

  She hadn't finished speaking, but Chen Xiaonuan seemed to have the ability to read minds, and she already understood what she was going to say next. She nodded in agreement: "Right, it has healing properties."

  Tang sugar is simply unbelievable, those incredible myths actually happened to myself!

  "I'd rather not have it then." She stared at the mysterious ring and said: "You keep it for self-defense."

  Tang Tang knew too well about Gu Xiannian's character, he was like a venomous snake, sinister and ruthless on the surface, but behind his back, he could come up with all sorts of vicious plans. And that Tong Hua wasn't a good person either. The two of them had suffered a great loss at Xiao Nuan's hands, how could they just let it go? She didn't want Xiao Nuan to encounter any mishaps because of her.

  Chen Xiaonuan didn't give up and continued to urge: "This ring can help you defeat that pair of vicious men, don't you want it? Don't you want to get revenge?"

  How could I not think of it! Even in dreams, I want to beat them until they are defeated and humiliated.

  Tang Sugar's heart moved for a second, but soon gave up. This must be Xiaonu's amulet. It would be unscrupulous to take it for himself in the name of revenge.

  Xiao Nuan saw that she still refused to accept, pretending to be angry, deliberately putting on a stern face, and domineeringly grabbed one of her hands. Tang Sugar's face suddenly flushed with heat, struggling desperately, but Xiao Nuan's strength was too great, and everything Tang Sugar did was in vain. She had no choice but to follow him.

  Looking at her small hand grasped in Xiaonu's large and warm palm, Tiantian's heart couldn't help but beat rapidly, the small hand that was being held also became stiff, Xiaonu sensitively perceived her inner thoughts, smiled brightly like a sunny morning, so handsome, he joked: "What are you worried about? Afraid that once this ring is put on your finger, it will trap you for life? So what? I'm already so handsome that I have no friends, and you still don't look up to me?"

  His words were fiery, and Tang Sugar was so tense that she couldn't say a word, shyly turning her face to the side, letting the ring be steadily put on her ring finger by Xiao Nuan. She slowly placed her hand with the ring in front of her eyes, the yellow diamond scattering dreamy colors in the romantic moonlight. For an instant, she had an illusion that she was really... wearing a wedding ring, and her face turned even redder, becoming unnatural, her hands and feet not knowing where to go.

  Xiao Nuan looked at her with a warm and gentle gaze, his eyes filled with doting affection.

  Tang Sugar gazed curiously at the ring filled with magical power, and couldn't help but stretch out her other hand to turn the ring. She was caught by Xiao Nuan's quick hands just in time, before she could cause any trouble. Xiao Nuan said seriously: "You can't randomly turn it, once you do, its energy must be released. If there isn't a corresponding creature to receive it, that power will act on yourself and hurt you!" Tang Sugar was shocked, her mouth half open as she stared at Xiao Nuan. Was all of this really true? Wasn't she just dreaming?

  She pinched herself secretly, it hurts!

  Xiao Nuan looked at her actions and smiled, continuing to explain: "This ring can only be used once a day, each time it will have three minutes of magical power, which can fulfill any wish in your heart, but does not include killing people or saving lives."

  Tang Sugar really said: "How come I feel like every time I fight monsters, the light on my chest flashes non-stop for one to three minutes, and it's shouting 'time is up'?"

  Xiao Nuan was also amused by her silly words, scratching her head and laughing: "Now that you mention it, it really does seem like that. Just treat those two as little monsters and beat them up, don't show any mercy!"

  "Hmm!" Tangtang nodded and curiously asked, "Where did you get this ring from?"

  "Oh." Xiaonu nodded slightly, "I don't know its origin, only that it has been passed down from generation to generation in our family."

  "It's too expensive, I don't want it!" As soon as Tang Sugar heard that it was a family heirloom, she quickly reached out to take off the ring. Xiao Nuan pressed down on her hand and said: "I didn't say I'd give it to you, just lend it to you. After you deal with those two dogs, you can return it to me."

  Tang Sugar murmured "oh" and looked at Xiaonu with hesitation.

  "Alright, actually I had an ulterior motive." Xiao Nuan said reluctantly.

  "What's on your mind?"

  "I want to borrow your hand to help me get experience points."

  "Experience points?" Tang Sugar was bewildered, his eyes widening in surprise. Weren't those things only found in games?

  "Every time you defeat that scumbag couple, this ring gains 100 experience points. On the other hand, if you get beaten by those dog-like men and women, it loses 200 experience points. The more experience points it accumulates, the more mystical its power becomes. If it reaches 10,000, the yellow diamond on the ring will turn into a red diamond, allowing you to exchange it for an extra life."

  "It sounds like a game." Tangtang thought it was too unbelievable.

  "Life is originally a game and a dream." Xiaonu replied without hesitation.

  (I'm posting this early today, I'm about to head out for a New Year's dinner, and my schedule is packed with family arrangements for the next two days, so I'll be taking a two-day leave. Wishing all friends a happy new year and may everything go as you wish.)
