Of course, all of this was based on her absolute trust in Lu Zhengting.
The man chuckled: "Honey, you want me to use my spatial abilities to cheat when I'm on missions."
"As long as it benefits you, who cares if it's cheating or not? We have the means to do it."
Lu Zhengting certainly agreed with his wife. All's fair in war, so what if you cheat? When it comes to warfare, you should take advantage of any conditions that are favorable to you.
But he felt guilty for taking such a big advantage of his wife.
“Wife, this is, after all, your family heirloom.” He subconsciously thought of those who were related to Lin Qingyan by blood.
“I know what you’re worried about. I’ve thought about all the things you’re worried about. No one is more suitable to have this space than you.”
We're already partners, husband and wife are one. I have my own space, but you might encounter danger every time you go on a mission. You desperately need your own space, but I already have one. Giving that space to me would be a waste. Listen to me, quickly perform the blood oath ceremony.
"Me." Lu Zhengting finally nodded. "Alright then."
He took a small knife from the drawer, cut a gash on one of his fingers, and let his blood drip onto the jade pendant.
Both of them stared intently at the jade pendant. However, Lu Zhengting's blood dripped onto it... one drop, two drops, three drops, one second, two seconds, three seconds... more than ten seconds passed, and most of the jade pendant was already soaked in blood, but the jade pendant itself did not react at all.
The two looked at each other in surprise.
"What's going on? Is there no space inside?" Lin Qingyan shook her head, finding it impossible. "The dragon and phoenix jade pendants are a pair, and my space is semi-circular, so the other half must be hidden inside the phoenix jade pendant. Could this jade pendant be a fake? It uses the same material as the flying dragon jade pendant, only its shape and workmanship are better. It's not a pair with the flying dragon jade pendant in essence."
"Honey, let's wait a little longer. Maybe the reaction time was too short. Let's give it some more time."
"Alright, wait a little longer. It only took me a moment to bind the Flying Dragon Jade Pendant with my blood. Perhaps the Phoenix Jade Pendant is slower to react than the Flying Dragon Jade Pendant."
The two waited patiently, all four eyes fixed on the phoenix jade pendant, neither willing to blink.
However, a full hour passed, during which Lu Zhengting dripped more than a dozen drops of blood onto the phoenix jade pendant, staining the entire pendant bright red. The jade pendant still didn't cooperate, remaining exactly as it was before, with only its outer color changing.
Lin Qingyan watched as Lu Zhengting dripped his blood onto the jade pendant, and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
He has already shed so much blood on the battlefield; he should try to shed as little blood as possible at other times.
"Zhengting, do you feel anything unusual? Perhaps that space is already inside your body. Try to sense it carefully."
Lu Zhengting held his breath for a moment, then shook his head: "Wife, I don't have any special feelings, and I can't sense the existence of the space."
He took his wife's hand and placed the jade pendant back into her hand.
“Wife, I think it should be able to recognize its owner. I am not its owner, so no matter how much blood I drip, it won’t be of any use. Wife, this is your family heirloom. You are its owner, and also the owner of the space inside it. You should drip your blood to acknowledge it as your owner.”
Lin Qingyan pondered for a moment, "Since that's the case, I'll have to do it."
The jade pendant was already covered in Lu Zhengting's blood. She washed the bloodstains off the jade pendant with water, picked up the knife, and prepared to "harm herself." She was also afraid of pain, so she gently poked a small cut on her finger with the knife, just enough for the blood to drip onto the jade pendant.
Bright red blood flowed from the small wound on her finger, dripping onto the phoenix jade pendant. The moment her blood touched the pendant, her body vanished from the spot and entered another space.
She looked around the space; it was indeed a space different from the outside world.
This space is somewhat different from her original space. She knows that she has successfully bound herself to the Phoenix Jade Pendant by blood, and the place she is in now is the space that originally existed in the Phoenix Jade Pendant.
It turns out that the family heirloom and the space inside it truly only recognize its owner; it is impossible for others to bind the space inside it with blood.
Lu Zhengting saw from outside that his wife's blood had just dripped onto the phoenix jade pendant when she miraculously disappeared. She must have entered that newly discovered space.
Space truly recognizes its master. He is not its master, and even if he drained all the blood from his body, it would still not belong to him.
The next instant, with a whoosh, Lin Qingyan emerged from the space and suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Zhengting, there really is another space inside the Phoenix Jade Pendant, different from the one I had before. I haven’t looked at it carefully yet, let me take you in to take a look.”
"Okay, honey."
Lin Qingyan took Lu Zhengting's hand and silently said "enter," and the two of them appeared on the land of the space they had just been in.
This space is very different from the first one.
