Chapter 208: 208, The Meaning of a Ring Chapter 208: 208, The Meaning of a Ring Qin Yushen smiled and nodded slightly, “I’ll start crafting now, and later we can visit each sect thoroughly.”
“Mm!” Song Yan Ning looked at Qin Yushen with admiration. She had not expected that Qin Yushen’s artifact refining skills had reached the level where he could create a Storage Ring. In the Demon World, having a Storage Bag was already quite an achievement, even her parents didn’t own a Storage Ring.
Seeing the admiration in Song Yan Ning’s eyes, Qin Yushen felt a wave of satisfaction in his heart. It wasn’t easy to get her to look at him with such admiration. He planned to collect more materials this time, and when he helped her to refine a flying sword, he wondered if she would admire him even more.
He waved his hand and summoned the Refining Materials, beginning the process of crafting the Storage Ring.
Song Yan Ning watched Qin Yushen without blinking, seeing his exquisite artifact refining skills, admiration flickered in her eyes occasionally. It must be said that this guy was truly outstanding. It was difficult not to like him.
After Qin Yushen finished crafting a Storage Ring, he glanced at Song Yan Ning and quickly inscribed a few words with his Divine Sense in the middle of the ring, “To my beloved wife, forever unchanging.” He didn’t plan to tell her, wondering when she would discover the meaning behind this ring.
“Xiao Ning, give me your hand,” Qin Yushen looked at Song Yan Ning with deep, tender eyes that also held a rare seriousness.
“Mm!” Song Yan Ning nodded, joyfully extending her hand. She could actually own her own Storage Ring; she was so happy.
Qin Yushen took Song Yan Ning’s hand and slowly slid the ring onto her slender, fair finger. “Xiao Ning, do you know what a ring represents?”
Song Yan Ning shook her head, “What?”
“When a man gives a woman a ring, it means he wants to tie her down, to marry her,” Qin Yushen said with a mischievous smile on his lips, but the look in his eyes was very serious. This was his heartfelt desire. From the moment he fell for her, he had determined that she was the one, and he would never change his mind throughout his life.
Song Yan Ning’s face turned slightly red, and her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably. She cleared her throat and said in a forcedly calm voice, “Then you better think carefully. Once you put it on, I’ll cling to you for a lifetime.” She knew she liked him too.
The smile at the corner of Qin Yushen’s mouth deepened a bit, “I like you clinging to me. From now on, you are my person.” A lifetime was too short; he hoped to be with her forever.
Song Yan Ning glanced at Qin Yushen, then pulled her hand back, looking at the Storage Ring on her finger. A sweetness spread through her heart.
Qin Yushen looked at Song Yan Ning’s profile and lowered his head to kiss her on the face.
Song Yan Ning looked up at Qin Yushen in surprise. He actually kissed her?
Qin Yushen gave a rascally smile, “This is the kiss of promise.” If she weren’t so young, the kiss would not have been on her cheek. He was really happy; their relationship had progressed further.
Song Yan Ning rolled her eyes at Qin Yushen and turned her head. She didn’t dislike his kiss, but rather felt a sweet sensation in her heart. This must be what liking someone feels like.
Qin Yushen held Song Yan Ning’s hand, his handsome face beaming with joy. Now that their relationship was established, all he had to do was wait for his bride to grow up.
As the disciples from the Lishan Sect were withdrawn, several other sects followed suit, and fewer and fewer sects remained involved in the search.
Hearing this news, Jiang Donghao was so furious he nearly coughed up blood. He had originally thought that after Heavenly Trace Sect was raided, the other sects would be even more eager to capture those two, but unexpectedly, they shrank back. Could it be that all these sects of the Hidden Sect couldn’t deal with two people from the Mortal World?
He admitted those two had some skills, but no matter how skilled, could two people really contend with the entire Hidden Sect? However, he knew getting angry was pointless because the strength of the Heavenly Trace Sect, compared to all other sects of the Hidden Sect, was essentially negligible.
“Sect Master! What should we do now?” Elder Li was also very angry. He had originally thought the Hidden Sect would be united, but to his surprise, just one day had passed and only five sects were still supporting them.
Jiang Donghao took a deep breath to suppress the rage in his heart, “Don’t worry about the other sects, continue the pursuit at any cost, we must find those two people.” He refused to believe that his one sect couldn’t overcome two individuals.
Song Yan Ning came out of her meditative state and looked at Qin Yushen, seeing that he had finished refining another Storage Ring.
Qin Yushen refined the Storage Ring and slipped it onto his finger, then looked at the Storage Ring on Song Yan Ning’s finger, took her hand in his, and gazed at the two rings shimmering and sparkling in the sunlight. A happy smile spread across his handsome face, “Let’s visit those sects.” Collecting more materials would allow him to refine a flying sword for Xiao Ning, and having a flying sword would make their future meetings much more convenient.
“Mhm.” Song Yan Ning nodded, her eyes revealing a look of anticipation.
Qin Yushen scanned the area with his Divine Sense, “The number of sects pursuing us has decreased.” He didn’t know what had happened, but today the number of sects chasing them had more than halved compared to yesterday.
Song Yan Ning released her Divine Sense to check, “It really has decreased, so let’s start with that sect wearing the blue uniforms.” Since those sects had already pulled back, it wouldn’t be right to raid their warehouses anymore.
“Mhm.” Qin Yushen nodded, reached out to lift Song Yan Ning in his arms, and glided down from the roof towards their target.
An hour later, news spread within the Hidden Sect of a sect being raided.
Before the sects could react, another sect reported the same incident. Neither of those sects, both of which had not withdrawn their Disciples, had seen any sign of the perpetrators.
The successive raids on sects caused another uproar within the Hidden Sect.
Those sects that had not continued to pursue Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were secretly relieved, congratulating themselves on a wise decision, otherwise, their warehouses might have been plundered as well.
“What kind of people did the Heavenly Trace Sect provoke? They are so formidable.”
“The sects that got raided didn’t even catch a glimpse of the culprits.”
“Yes, several sects even increased their guard numbers at their warehouses, but still don’t know how the intruders got in.”
“That’s not important. What matters is how those two managed to move all those things.”
“Do they have a Magical Treasure that can hold a lot of items?”
“Could they be immortals? Otherwise, how could they have such vast Divine Skills? It’s good that our sect withdrew early, otherwise, our warehouse might not have been safe, either.”
The Disciples from the various sects discussed amongst themselves, and the tales of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen became increasingly mystical as they were passed around.
