On the other end.
Holding the ring, Liu Yuelan ran all the way back to her room, her face beaming with uncontrollable excitement, as happy as if she had found gold.
She rushed in and immediately slammed the door shut behind her.
After confirming that no one could see him, he quickly pulled a small, sharp fruit knife from the drawer.
She stared at the emerald green ring, her gaze suddenly becoming focused.
She took a deep breath, and without the slightest hesitation, raised her left hand and decisively made a cut on her index finger with the blade.
"hiss--"
A soft pain, the skin split open, and blood immediately gushed out.
Drop by drop, bright red and scalding hot.
It landed on that ring.
The originally warm and translucent emerald green was quickly stained crimson by the blood.
The surface of the ring began to warm slightly, and even a faint light flowed around it.
Just then, Shen Zhiyu came in and immediately saw the scene.
Liu Yuelan stood in front of the table, her finger cut, and blood was dripping from her fingertip onto an antique ring.
In that instant, he felt a buzzing in his head, and his scalp tingled with fear.
He rushed over immediately, grabbed her bleeding finger, and his voice trembled and was hoarse.
"Lan Yin! How could you hurt yourself like this! This...this is terrifying!"
His fingers trembled slightly as he watched the drops of blood fall.
Give me the knife!
He growled in a low voice and reached out to snatch the small dagger from her other hand.
He couldn't imagine what she might have done if he had arrived any later.
But Liu Yuelan stood there motionless as if she were in a daze, her body stiff, her eyes fixed on the ring, her gaze unfocused.
Her lips trembled slightly, but no sound came out.
Something's not right!
Shen Zhiyu's heart sank suddenly.
Why doesn't she feel any pain at all?
Even more bizarrely, the blood oath should be the key step in opening the personal space.
But now that the blood has dripped down, the ring shows no reaction, and the space remains tightly closed, as if it had never existed.
What happened?
Did she make a mistake?
Or has this space become invalid?
But Liu Yuelan's mind was in turmoil.
In her past life, she discovered the secret of this ring by chance.
That night, she accidentally cut her finger, and blood dripped onto the ring.
In an instant, a mechanical voice rang in my mind, and my personal space opened.
From then on, she used this space to defy fate, gradually escaped the oppression of her family, and finally stood at the peak.
But why doesn't it work now?
Her finger was still dripping blood, but the ring remained cold and unresponsive.
Is it fake?
The thought struck her like a bolt of lightning, causing her pupils to contract sharply.
She gasped, her chest heaving, a chill running from her feet to the top of her head.
Oh no!
She finally understood!
She was deceived by Su Qingzhi!
She must have tricked her with a fake ring!
So no matter how much blood she bleeds, she can forget about opening the space!
This was all a meticulously planned conspiracy from beginning to end!
Anger exploded in her heart instantly.
She shoved Shen Zhiyu away abruptly, so hard that he staggered back two steps.
"I've been deceived! Su Qingzhi, that liar! She's lied to me my whole life! Get out of my way! I want her to pay for everything!"
Shen Zhiyu reacted quickly, rushing forward and grabbing her arm tightly.
"Lanyin, calm down! What's wrong with you? What are you saying? Su Qingzhi is your sworn sister, how can you say such things to her? Are you possessed? Or have you suffered some kind of shock? You're getting more and more outrageous! Listen to me, don't be impulsive, I'll take you to see a master, okay? Maybe you've been too tired lately and your mind is clouded..."
But before he could finish speaking, a violent shout suddenly came from the courtyard.
Accompanied by hurried footsteps and a loud slamming of the door.
"Shen Zhiyu! Come out here! You heartless bastard, how dare you steal my money? I'll beat you to death!"
That was Liu Xincheng's voice.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Chunxiang's voice, choked with sobs, came in.
"Lanyin, are you home? My house has been burgled! All my life savings are gone! Three thousand yuan! Waaah... Come out quickly! Was it this stranger who did it? It must be him!"
The two people inside the room were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.
Shen Zhiyu's hand was still gripping Liu Yuelan's arm.
Liu Yuelan's expression had changed from anger to shock.
The noise outside was getting closer and closer.
A new storm is approaching.
Shen Zhiyu swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. His face paled slightly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "That two thousand yuan... could it be... that you took it from home? If you really did, this is going to be a big problem."
"What do you mean, 'take'? That's my house! What's wrong with me wanting to use some money?"
Liu Yuelan raised her face and twitched her eyebrows.
Her tone was very firm, and after speaking, she flicked her sleeves, turned around, and walked out of the house.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xincheng's eyes widened instantly, his face flushed red, and he clenched his fists as he charged towards Shen Zhiyu, shouting as he ran, "Sister, get out of the way! I'll deal with this shameless thief first! Stealing my money, he's asking for trouble! Two thousand yuan, that's what Mom saved up by scrimping and saving!"
"Get out of here."
Liu Yuelan stood at the door and turned back to give her younger brother a cold glance.
He then raised his hand and pushed Liu Xincheng aside with a swift and powerful motion.
Liu Xincheng staggered a few steps, almost bumping into the woodpile by the wall, staring at her in astonishment.
