"Wu Yu, what exactly is the dragon's treasure?" Violet asked impatiently, like a curious child, before Wu Yu and the others had gone very far.

Layton and the other man also glanced over. Unlike Violet's pure curiosity, Wu Yu clearly sensed that there was something else hidden inside.

However, Wu Yu didn't care at all. He stretched out his hand towards Violet and said nonchalantly, "Want to know? Then take it and see for yourself."

Putting on a ring with one hand is not difficult, but taking it off with one hand is quite troublesome.

Violet, of course, didn't stand on ceremony with Wu Yu. She grabbed his hand, gently removed the ring, and then poured her mental energy into it to scan the space inside.

"So? What's inside?" Layton finally couldn't help but ask.

"Why? It's empty inside!" Violet exclaimed in surprise.

"Didn't you hear the dragon say before that this place is empty?" Wu Yu reminded him.

"Then why do you say the dragon's treasure is in here?" Violet asked, puzzled.

"Of course it's to deceive them. We are the final witnesses to the dragon's death. If the dragon didn't leave anything behind, do you think anyone would believe it?" Wu Yu's words were full of helplessness.

“But we really didn’t get anything.” Violet found this completely incomprehensible.

“Just because you can’t produce anything doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. People are more likely to believe that you’ve hidden the treasure. Rather than being misunderstood and forced into battle, it’s better to boldly admit it. At least in terms of momentum, the latter will have the upper hand,” Wu Yu continued to explain.

Violet understood this time, but after thinking about it for a while, she became even more puzzled. "But what's the point? If we want those people to give up, we have to defeat them. So why bother with all this trouble?"

"Hmph." Wu Yu smiled mysteriously, without answering the question. Was he supposed to say that he couldn't beat those people at all and that his successful escape was just a bluff?

Putting aside the matter of saving face, Wu Yu had no intention of revealing his true skill level to others.

Wu Yu wasn't afraid that Violet would harm him, but if she accidentally let something slip, who would he complain to?

As for Layton and his group, to be honest, knowing too much is actually a bad thing.

Wu Yu looked at the two of them and reminded them, "When you go back, if anyone asks about this, just say that Wu Yu took all the dragon's treasure and you didn't get anything."

"I understand." Layton, being experienced, immediately grasped Wu Yu's meaning, but he said with some concern, "Won't this cause you trouble?"

"Please, I seized the dragon's treasure with absolute crushing force. If you want to cause me trouble, you need to be at least a Saint-level expert. Are you just going to come here to die? If it's an opponent of that level, I'll handle it myself." Wu Yu continued to put on a brave face.

He had to convince Layton that he was strong, so that if anyone tried to find out about him through Layton, they would misjudge him.

"Alright, Violet, give me back the ring. I was just worried about not having any luggage, and this is like a godsend. This trip should be worthwhile." Wu Yu reached out to Violet, demanding the storage ring back.

Violet glanced at Wu Yu. After all, it was just an empty ring, so she wasn't tempted and helped Wu Yu put the ring back on.

Looking at the gray ring on his right middle finger, Wu Yu suddenly remembered that, according to the old customs of the country, the right middle finger should represent being deeply in love.

Wu Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly, never expecting that a single dog like himself would have this day. However, Wu Yu was too lazy to change it back, since these things were meaningless in another world anyway.

"How should I use this storage ring?" Wu Yu asked Violet, who always possessed such a treasure as a storage ring.

“Give me some blood,” Violet replied.

Without hesitation, Wu Yu bit his index finger and squeezed out a little blood for Violet.

To be honest, after advancing to the first level, Wu Yu felt that his ability to adapt to pain had improved a lot. At least in the past, it would have been impossible to bite his hand without even frowning. Moreover, the speed of automatic hemostasis was also immediate, stopping after only a few drops.

Violet smeared the blood she received onto the ring, and then the blood seeped into the back of the ring.

"Alright, now the ring contains your mental imprint, so others can't take out the items inside just by touching it. But if the ring falls into someone else's hands and their mental strength is stronger than yours, breaking the mental imprint inside won't be difficult."

Wu Yu tried it out, put down the sword box on his back, and with a thought, the sword box was put into his storage ring. What a convenient item!

"Wu Yu, I just took a quick look. The space inside is about ten cubic meters, much larger than my ancestral family ring. If we're talking about market value, it would definitely cost at least a thousand gold coins, and even then, it's the kind that's priceless," Violet congratulated him.

Goodness, so much money! If I sell this ring, I can live a life of luxury. This isn't just a loss, it's a huge windfall!

With this escape route, the way of looking at life feels different. However, Wu Yu doesn't plan to sell it immediately. He still needs to use this thing now. He'll sell the ring and get money to buy some land when he no longer needs to use a sword. He'll live the life of a landlord, which would be hundreds of times more comfortable than his previous plan to find a secluded spot in the deep mountains and forests to live in seclusion.
