âHey, asshole!â Helian Tulong cut in before Luo Puti could give Chen Xiaobei her answer. âWhat the hell do you think youâre doing? Youâre proposing to Princess Puti with some stupid ring?! Do we look dead to you?â
Feng Chongwu chimed in, âYeah! We brought her a One-star Earth-God Instrument! Your ring cannot even compare to our gifts!â
âMotherf*cker! Put that rubbish ring away and get out of our sight!â Yun Changxiao hissed. âEven if the princess accepts your proposal, the emperor will not! You want to bring home a wife without bringing any gifts? Stop daydreaming, idiot!â
âPlease⦠Calm downâ¦â Luo Qiongcang stepped in. âThat ring looks very familiar. I think I might have seen it somewhere beforeâ¦â
âPfft! Itâs garbage, thatâs what it is! This shithead canât probably afford anything that looks like anything!â Helian Tulong snapped.
âYeah!â Feng Chongwu and Yun Changxiao said in unison. âThis guy is a penniless bastard! He wants to use his relationship with princess Puti back on earth and a tatty old ring to bring home a beautiful wife! What a joke!â
âShut up! All of you!â Luo Puti lashed out. âIâm willing to marry Xiaobei, for richer or for poorer! Even if the ring heâs giving me is made of grass, I am still willing to marry him!â
The anger boiling inside the three men was evident with their vermillion countenance.
No matter how expensive or valuable the gifts they brought, Luo Puti only had eyes for Chen Xiaobei!
This was another slap in their faces!
âPuti! Let me help you put on the ring! From today onwards, you are my fiancé! Letâs choose a lucky day for our wedding! Weâll make it really grand! You will officially become my wife!â Chen Xiaobei was smiling like an idiot as he slipped the ring into Luo Putiâs slender fingers.
âLuo Puti! You are so stupid!â Helian Tulong shouted. âYou are willing to give up my peak-phase One-star Earth-God Instrument and Two-star Earth-God materials for some dumb ring! You will regret this!â
Feng Chongwu and Yun Changxiao piled on. âWe also brought a One-star Earth-God Instrument each! But you refused us! Saint Duke had a chance to survive but you threw it away! Youâre all doomed!â
The members of the royal family and the officials were all frightened by these ominous projections. They pleaded with Luo Puti, âPrincess Puti, please think twice about this! Itâs not too late to change your mind! Donât choose that guy, please! Or else, weâre finishedâ¦â
Luo Qiongcang was still eyeing the ring, looking thoughtful. âThat ring really does look familiar but it doesnât seem to be anything special⦠Puti! Wake up! Donât be fooled by that kid! Donât let the entire Saint Duke fall with you!â
Luo Puti ignored everyoneâs appeals. Instead, she smiled at Chen Xiaobei. âThis ring is gorgeous. I really like this style! You know me so well, Xiaobei!â
Chen Xiaobei got back on his feet, still smiling. âThis ring is not just good to look at! Go on and try to build a Spiritual Connection with it!â
âSpiritual Connection?â Luo Puti stared at her fiancé. âThis⦠this⦠this is a Two-star Earth-God instrument?â
Chen Xiaobei nodded. âYup! Because I cut off my Spiritual Connection with it, it doesnât appear to be anything special. Once youâve activated its Spirituality, however, you will become its master!â
âIts⦠too expensiveâ¦â Luo Puti had never dreamed that Chen Xiaobei would give her a Two-star Earth-God instrument.
âNow that youâve put on the ring, you are mine! I am willing to give you anything, regardless of how expensive it is!â Chen Xiaobei smiled adoringly at her. âGo ahead and give it a try! Itâs called the Frozen Heart Spiritual Ring. Itâs pure ice attribute just like your Qiâs attribute! You will definitely like it!â
âAlrightâ¦â Luo Puti sucked on her lower lip as she began to build a Spiritual Connection with the Frozen Heart Spiritual Ring.
âHey, shithead! Youâre really full of shit!â Helian Tulong interrupted.
âHow could you possibly own a Two-star Earth-God instrument?! Thatâs impossible!â
âYeah!â Feng Chongwu joined. âDonât think that we cannot tell that the both of you are just putting on an act! That ring does not have any Spirituality at all! Only an idiot will believe that thatâs a Two-star Earth-God instrument!â
âOn top of that, the Frozen Heart Spiritual Ring is the Tenshou emperorâs most powerful Earth-God instrument! Thatâs a Tenshou national treasure!â Yun Changxiao said. âUse your brain, you stupid shit! The Frozen Heart Spiritual Ring doesnât even look like this! Stop putting on an act! Youâre just making a fool of yourself!â
âThe three of you short-sighted dumbass! Open your eyes and see! This ring that Xiaobei has given me is a Two-star Earth-God instrument!â
Luo Puti stepped forward, her silky porcelain-like hands raised.
Like magic, a beautiful frost was unleashed from the ring.
Most importantly, there was a heavy Spirituality in the ring. The temperature all around began to drop sharply.
âThat⦠thatâ¦â
All of Helian Tulong, Feng Chongwu and Yun Changxiaoâs faces were burning.
Everyone could tell what this whole scene meant.
The thousands of people all around exclaimed, âWhat powerful Spirituality! That ring is not just a Two-star Earth-God instrument! Itâs the best of the best of all Two-star Earth-God Instruments!â
âThat kid⦠I mean⦠Childe Chen is incredible! Heâs giving the princess a Two-star Earth-God Instrument! Heâs so generous!â
âWe, the Saint Duke Starfield only have two Two-star Earth-God Instruments here in Saint Duke! This gift is way too valuable!â
âYeah! Childe Zhufengâs gift trumps all the other gifts! Itâs the most valuable of them all!â
âBut, why did Childe Zhufeng say that the ring is the Frozen Heart Spiritual Ring?â
The people were abuzz with questions and awe.
âBecause that is the real Frozen Heart Spiritual Ring!â Luo Qiongcang suddenly called out. âThat powerful Spirituality! That is a pure ice attribute! I have fought against the emperor of Tenshou too many times to not recognize it! That is indeed the real Frozen Heart Spiritual Ring!â
The crowd gasped.
How did Tenshouâs national treasure fall into Chen Xiaobeiâs hands?
Why did it look so different?
This was all too unbelievable!
