Chapter 229 You're done, I'm going to take that out
"Ah, I almost forgot about the main thing."
Lingying put away her cell phone and moved the large cloth bundle in front of the two of them.
"You two were both surviving contestants in the previous exchange competition. Although some problems arose and no winners were determined, we've prepared prizes for you, taking into consideration the feelings of the contestants."
Then she untied the cloth bag and began to look for something inside.
"...Hmm, hmm, where did it go? Where did it go? I remember it was right here."
Seeing Lingying almost putting half of her body into the pocket to search, Li Muhan couldn't help but complain to Xia Yue beside him.
"...There must be a whole world in this bag, right?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Xia Yue's straightforward answer left Li Muhan silent. No wonder he couldn't lift it just now...
"Ah~ Found it, found it, um! Um...that! Captain Li!"
The girl, half of her body buried in the sack, shouted in a muffled voice.
"Huh? Huh? I'm here, what's wrong?"
"Can you help me, I'm stuck..."
Li Muhan's eyes involuntarily looked at the girl's legs wrapped in black stockings. Because of the slit of the cheongsam, her thighs were almost exposed.
"...Xia Yue, can you help me?"
Li Muhan looked at Xia Yue beside him. Xia Yue raised her hand impatiently, and a thin thread made of blood wrapped around the girl's waist.
"Ah! What, what is that? It's so cold and itchy. Hahahaha, it's so itchy. Captain Li, you are so naughty!"
? ?
Li Muhan had a face full of question marks.
Xia Yue waved her hand lightly, and her body was pulled out of the cloth bag by the thin thread.
“Clang clang~”
Lingying held up the two things in her hands and smiled at Li Muhan and Xia Yue.
This smile and this habit instantly reminded Li Muhan of the little disciple of Huang Zizai from Cuiwei Mountain. It seemed like he hadn't seen her for a long time.
When she came to her senses, Lingying had already stuffed the two things into the hands of Li Muhan and Xia Yue respectively.
Xia Yue was holding a ring in her hand.
This deep blue ring is like the deepest ocean in the night sky or a part of the endless universe. It has been carefully carved into a small and fascinating work of art. The main part of the ring is inlaid with a full and transparent deep blue gem. The gem seems to contain endless secrets and power, making people want to explore the mysteries deep inside.
The ring setting surrounding the gem is made of high-quality metal, which is carefully polished and designed with intricate textures, giving it an ancient and solemn feel.
Light flows across it, reflecting the mysterious ripples in the deep sapphire, which seems to guide people's thoughts through time and space and into another dimension.
In contrast, what Li Muhan held in his hand was a small black bead that looked somewhat inconspicuous, just like the ones he used to play marbles with on the roadside when he was a child, and it looked extremely cheap.
“Isn’t this a bit of discrimination?”
Li Muhan asked with a sad face.
Lingying tidied up her messy black hair, and then said to Li Muhan with a smile.
"Uh-huh, Captain Li, I haven't explained to you what these two things do yet, so don't be impatient."
She first looked at Xia Yue.
"The ring in Miss Xia Liya's hand is called 'Zhan Zhuan'. Legend has it that it was meticulously forged by the water god Gonggong himself a thousand years ago, with the purpose of suppressing the Si River flood and saving countless people from suffering. This Zhan Zhuan ring is more than just a simple sea-stabilizing artifact; it also incorporates the Gonggong clan's immensely powerful harmonizing power. This power can regulate the body's yin and yang forces and even control all changes in the world. I believe that the two forces in Miss Xia Liya's body need to be harmonized, right?"
Lingying seemed to know everything about Xia Yue.
Of course, Li Muhan also noticed that there were two forces in Xia Yue's body at the same time. These two forces were fighting against each other in her body and urgently needed to be reconciled.
One is the powerful blood power from the vampire clan left to Xia Yue by her mother. When this power erupts, even her master Xia Yue cannot control it. Even Li Muhan can only suppress it with the help of Lucifer's realm power and at the cost of burning his own vitality.
The other kind of power is more subtle and restrained.
This power is like the incarnation of moonlight, soft yet powerful.
During that trial, Xia Yue was able to demonstrate this power. Although it could not last for long, it ended the battle with the Blood Witch almost instantly.
Moreover, Xia Yue will not be harmed by this power. Instead, it allows her to remain sober and rational during the process of using it.
The two completely different forces should be like two parallel rivers, one fast and one slow, stimulating each other and needing to accommodate each other.
But they started a fierce battle in Xia Yue's body like enemies, and Li Muhan also learned from Lin Ze that Xia Yue was forcibly suppressing her own power in order to restrain the collision of these two forces.
As a result, she was completely unable to display her disaster-level alien strength.
At this moment, the Zhan Zhuan ring in her hand became the key to reconciling these two forces. It was like a bridge, closely connecting the two opposing ends, turning conflict into harmony, and allowing Xia Yue to better control and use these forces.
"snort."
But Xia Yue just snorted coldly.
"If only it were that simple. This thing is indeed very powerful and has the power of harmony, but the root cause of my body's problem is not harmony."
Li Muhan looked at Xia Yue's embarrassed expression. He felt a little sorry for her, so he raised his hand and rubbed Xia Yue's head and said.
"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, it's better to be useful than useless. At least next time you go berserk, I won't have to strip you naked and put you in the bathtub and then..."
Snap——
The cat slippers stepped hard on Li Muhan's plain gray slippers, causing Li Muhan to grimace in pain.
"No... don't mention that..."
Watching the interaction between the two, Lingying covered her mouth and smiled softly.
"As the rumors say, demons and vampires are an unimaginable combination."
Then she looked at Li Muhan.
"As for you, Captain Li, to be honest, it was very difficult to choose a suitable reward for you. Since the Chinese Special Management Bureau has never accepted a demon, we were at a loss as to what the demon would like. So, we chose something that was quite standard."
She raised her hand and pointed at the small bead in Li Muhan's hand with her slender fingers.
"This bead is called 'Yinchen'. It's a spatial artifact. It can perfectly replicate an already created space and retain all of its characteristics. Please note that it exists forever. In other words, no matter how powerful a space is, as long as you use this artifact in it, all of the space's characteristics will be replicated for your use."
Li Muhan was shocked. That was indeed a good thing! Although the most powerful space he had encountered so far was just a toy made by Xia Yue's mother, its strength was already terrifying. If he could encounter a more practical space in the future, he could simply treat it as his own world and do whatever he wanted in it!
"Whether you like it or not, these are the rewards. I also have to go to the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau headquarters to deliver prizes to Mengmeng and Hati. Um, and then there's Chiyuan from the Supernatural Management Department. Ah... I'm so busy, so I hate working overtime."
Lingying sighed and suddenly her eyes looked towards a corner of the room.
On the coffee table in the corner was an ancient-looking Tang sword.
"......Um......"
She slowly turned around and walked towards the Tang sword. She squatted down in front of the coffee table, raised her hand gently, and stroked the scabbard with her fingers.
"...Old friend, long time no see."
