Chapter 5: Practice to Change Destiny
Jiang Ruan Ning: "..."
ah? He couldn't be serious about it, could he?
He must not scare her.
Jiang Ruan Ning was afraid that he would take it seriously, so she quickly said, "I was just joking, Mr. Huo, don't take it seriously. Saving you is just a matter of convenience, and there is no need to repay anything."
Hearing that she was joking, Huo Chen was obviously much more relaxed: "It's a convenient thing for you, but it's a life-saving favor for me. Don't you have anything you want? You can make a request to me, anything is fine."
"Must repay the favor?"
"Um."
Jiang Ruan Ning's indifferent gaze fell on the jade ring on his finger, and her eyes flashed, "Okay. If Mr. Huo really wants to repay the favor, I have taken a fancy to something of yours, but I don't know if you are willing to give it to me."
Huo Chen smiled: "Please speak."
Jiang Ruan Ning said directly: "The jade ring you are wearing."
Huo Chen was slightly startled, and a strange color flashed across his cold and dark eyes.
"You want this ring?" He raised his hand and took off the jade ring from his finger, his eyes looking a little strange.
Jiang Ruan Ning didn't notice his abnormality. She looked at the jade ring with shining eyes and said, "Yes, I want your ring. Can you give it to me?"
Before Huo Chen could say anything, the expressions of the bodyguards standing beside him all changed.
She actually wanted Mr. Huo's jade ring.
That ring was given to Mr. Huo by a senior monk when he was five years old. Mr. Huo has been wearing this ring for all these years and has never taken it off.
Huo Chen was silent for a few seconds, then he smiled, and his slender fingers with distinct joints slowly stroked the surface of the jade ring for a few times, then handed the ring to her: "Of course you can."
Jiang Ruan Ning looked at the jade ring handed to her, hesitated for a few seconds, and reached out to take it.
The ring was still warm, and as soon as her finger touched it, she felt an extremely cool air entering her body.
Then it moved all over her limbs.
She felt indescribably comfortable, as if every cell in her body was nourished. It was much more comfortable than when she had just absorbed the evil deathly energy.
In fact, this ring is carved from a piece of top-grade spiritual stone that is rarely seen in a century.
For those who practice the mysterious arts, it is a top-notch auxiliary magical tool that they dream of owning.
She didn't expect that the man named Huo would actually give it to her.
"Mr. Huo, in this case, we owe each other nothing. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Jiang Ruan Ning held the jade ring tightly in her palm, and without waiting for Huo Chen to respond, she turned and left.
The pace was fast and a bit hurried.
She was afraid that Huo Chen would regret it.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Ruan Ning walked slowly along the street.
As she walked, she was thinking about what she should do next.
In her first life, she had already been diagnosed with cancer, and it was already in the middle to late stages. She had at most half a year to live.
In her first life, she had no chance to come into contact with metaphysics, so she was unable to change her fate, and later died on the cold bed in the hospital.
But now it's different.
She now knows that she can change her fate through mysterious arts.
She also understands the art of cultivation.
As long as she can obtain enough faith and merit through metaphysics, her lifespan can be extended. The stronger the power she possesses, the longer her lifespan will be.
If she could cultivate to the level of her previous life, she could live at least another fifty years.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard a loud and powerful voice shouting: "Ice powder, cold noodles, cold shrimp and mung bean soup, fresh and delicious, don't miss it if you pass by."
Jiang Ruan Ning paused and turned around following the sound.
