As soon as Lu Minghua and Ning Zhenzhen returned home with Ruan Yunxi's jade gourd, they hid in Ning Zhenzhen's room. She couldn't wait to open the box and saw a Hetian jade gourd. It looked warm and smooth, but felt cool to the touch: "Finally, I got it."
"Does your jade pendant really have a space inside?" Lu Minghua didn't believe it.
Ning Zhenzhen raised an eyebrow: "Would I lie to you?"
As she spoke, she took a pair of scissors and, without hesitation, pricked her fingertip. She was ruthless enough that blood immediately gushed out, which she then smeared on the Hetian jade gourd, waiting for the gourd to recognize her as its owner and open its spatial dimension.
The two men stared at the blood on the jade gourd, holding their breath, neither of them speaking.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The room was deathly silent. The two people stared intently at the jade gourd, their expressions tense and subtle.
After about ten seconds, Ning Zhenzhen still didn't feel any change. She frowned: "Could it be that there's something wrong with my fingers?"
Without saying a word, he pricked his thumb again, smeared some more blood on it, and waited a few seconds, but the sensation of an electric current running through his mind, as described in the novel, did not occur.
Ning Zhenzhen bit her lip, refusing to believe it, and pricked all the fingers of her left hand, but there was no reaction.
Undeterred, she pricked all the fingers on her right hand again.
The electric current still didn't appear in her mind. Unwilling to give up, she was about to take off her socks and prick her toes.
Lu Minghua couldn't stand it anymore: "I'll give it a try."
Ning Zhenzhen was unwilling for the jade pendant to recognize him as its master. When she saw Lu Minghua directly snatch it away, she was already a step too late to take it back.
They could only watch helplessly as Lu Minghua pricked his finger and smeared a little blood on the jade gourd.
Ning Zhenzhen asked nervously, "Did you feel an electric current running through your mind?"
Lu Minghua frowned and shook his head: "Don't bother me, let me feel it."
One second, two seconds... ten seconds later, Lu Minghua still didn't feel any electric current.
Undeterred, he pricked all ten of his fingers, just like Ning Zhenzhen, but still felt no electric current running through his brain. He questioned Ning Zhenzhen, "Are you lying to me?"
Ning Zhenzhen's eyes widened: "How could I possibly lie to you? Could it be that the jade gourd is not right?"
Lu Minghua shook his head: "Impossible. Ruan Yunxi is devoted to me and would never lie to me. The jade gourd she gave me is definitely genuine. Could it be that you've misremembered? Is it a jade pendant or something else, not a jade gourd?"
Ning Zhenzhen shook her head firmly: "I can't be mistaken, it is the jade gourd."
After thinking for a moment, Ning Zhenzhen said, "Since it's not a problem with the jade gourd, it must be the wrong timing. Could it be that we need to perform the blood oath ceremony during the full moon on the fifteenth of the lunar month?"
Lu Minghua checked the date: "Today is the 12th, there are still three days until the 15th."
"Okay, let's try again in three days. Let me keep the jade gourd; I'm afraid you'll lose it." Ning Zhenzhen wanted the jade gourd and the space; it would be too embarrassing for a transmigrated woman to not have a space!
Lu Minghua had his own ulterior motives: "I'll keep it. After all, it was given to me by Ruan Yunxi, right?"
Ning Zhenzhen wasn't going to be at a disadvantage: "I'll be the first to undergo the blood oath ceremony. I can have two people do it anyway, I want to take one spot." Yeah, right!
She said that the space has only ever had one owner, just to deceive Lu Minghua.
Lu Minghua believed him and said, "Okay, you'll be the first to acknowledge him as your master."
......
Ruan Yunxi had no idea that they had pricked their fingers all over in order to recognize their master.
