Chapter 16 My Equipment

“Oh my god! You’re misunderstanding, it’s not that I wanted to. I rushed to explain, but they still looked at me with sympathetic eyes, obviously not believing me. I pouted moodily, “I saw Xuanyue Jiejie at the Palace.”

“Xuanyue Jiejie?” Mao Mao exclaimed, “Xuanyue Jiejie didn’t go on a mission!”

Everyone suddenly fell silent, even Jiang Yan who was chewing on a blood bag became somewhat quiet, his brows slightly furrowed, as if deep in thought.

Si Yinuo hid behind Xiao Bai, watching me quietly with his silver eyes peeking out from under his white bangs.

I continued, “I was just so distracted after seeing Xuanyue Jiejie, because before on the plane, Fu Su teased her about being interested in him, and then I bumped into her with Xuanyuan Chen once, and it felt like she might also have something for Xuanyuan Chen… Hehe, I’ve been thinking about this for the past few days, and I was wondering if in the Immortal Realm, we can marry multiple guys, and how it would work at night after marriage, and how to tell the children apart? Hahaha—”

“Slap!” Suddenly, someone snapped their fingers in front of me. It was Jiang Yan, his teal eyes staring at me: “Xiao Lan, stop!”

My face instantly flushed red, and I lowered my head, tousling my hair: “Sorry, sorry, I got carried away, I’m really sorry.”

“Xiao Lan Jiejie, you don’t have to be embarrassed, actually these kinds of things…” Mao Mao also hugged her pillow and giggled sheepishly, “I’ve thought about it many times too, hehe.”

“Ha! I knew it.” I excitedly hugged him, and Jiang Yan next to us started shaking his head and sighing. Si Yinuo peeked out from behind Xiao Bai with a wary gaze, like looking at a lunatic, while Qing Ming still had his head down, like a guilty husband still kneeling at the keyboard.

“Xiao Lan, since you’re back, why don’t we explore that pile of stuff tonight?” Jiang Yan said from the side, and Mao Mao and I were exchanging glances.

“Xiao Lan!” He emphasized, and I snapped back to attention: “Eh, what pile?”

He sighed helplessly, as if extremely troubled, and furrowed his brows: “That pile~~ the one you bought from the supermarket!”

“Oh! Oh~~~ Okay, okay.” I stood up, and Mao Mao was still all smiles: “Wishing you find treasures, we can discuss more later.”

“Sounds good.” We high-fived, discussing these kinds of things is the most exciting.

Jiang Yan rubbed his temples, and left with me.

Si Yinuo hid behind Xiao Bai and hugged him even tighter, timidly watching us leave.

Jiang Yan brought me back to his dorm room, and then sat down on the floor. I was still not out of my fantasizing mode, grinning mischievously at him: “Jiang Yan, haven’t you thought about marrying a few more beauties~~~”

He paused, saying: “No.”

“Ha!” I excitedly pointed at him, “You hesitated!”

He immediately pressed his forehead, choked: “You saw through me, it’s because I don’t have the money to marry.”

“Hahaha—” I laughed delightedly.

He lowered the hand from his forehead, slowly raising his face, but his expression was exceptionally serious. Then, he looked at me and snapped his fingers again: “Stop!”

I wiped my mouth, lowering my face: “Sorry, sorry, I’m over it.”

“Mm, let’s talk business.” He bent down and knocked on the floor “Knock, knock.” The floor suddenly slid open with a “swoosh” sound, and “Woah—” my pile of junk rose up, the items inside still untouched, as if no one had touched them.

Then, he reached out and took out a ring. I was stunned: “Didn’t you say you couldn’t use it?”

He narrowed his teal eyes and carefully examined the ring: “They know you’re back.”

“Oh~~~” I looked at the items in the box, and immediately spotted an old wooden gun. Though the wooden gun was worn, it had a pattern I liked – the wooden gunstock had beautiful red patterns, though the colors had faded, I could still see its original beauty.

As I picked it up, the color of the whole gun suddenly became brighter, as if someone had retouched it. I was stunned, watching the originally wooden gun become covered in a gilded color, the golden gun body having a matte texture, and the red patterns flowing like fresh blood on the golden sandy surface. I was completely dumbfounded, it was so beautiful! This gun!

I love tacky gold the most! I know I like tacky gold, but the matte gold is really beautiful! It has a low-key luxurious feel!

“Mm? It seems it really recognizes you as its master.” Jiang Yan’s voice came from in front of me. I immediately raised the gun and pointed it at him. He was startled, the blood bag in his mouth sliding slightly out of his lips.

I grinned and said, “It’s amazing! Jiang Yan, quick, look, it’s turned into tacky gold! Hahaha!” I retracted the gun and rubbed it affectionately, the matte gun body feeling great, especially the beautiful red patterns on it, so amazing, just like the guns in online games.

The Jiang Yan in front of me seemed to secretly let out a sigh of relief: “Xiao Lan, I recognize this ring.” As he spoke, I immediately looked at him. In his hand was the ring he had taken out earlier, the ring had an antique bronze color, with a strong sense of history. The ring band was shaped like intertwined tree branches, converging to form two hands, with a touch of deer antlers, and an azure gemstone was inlaid between the two antlers, the color similar to that of ancient bronze shields.

Seeing the ring, I immediately got excited: “A spatial ring! Can it store a lot of things?”

Jiang Yan looked gloomy, reaching out to directly knock on my head: “You’ve been playing too many games, this is not a spatial ring, it’s a guardian ring.”

As he spoke, he casually grabbed my hand and slipped the ring onto my middle finger. Immediately, I felt the ring tighten and fit perfectly around my finger.

Then, Jiang Yan suddenly threw a punch at me. I was stunned, blankly watching his fist approaching my face. He twitched his brows, stopping his fist: “Defense, Xiao Lan!”

I still stared at him blankly: “Jiang Yan, although I’ve learned Taekwondo, but… I don’t think I can keep up with you guys’ godly fighting.”

He rubbed his forehead again, taking a few deep gulps of blood, as if about to be driven crazy by me, before looking at me again: “I want to show you the power of the ring!”

“Oh oh oh! What should I do?” I immediately became serious.

Jiang Yan looked at me solemnly: “When I punch at you, raise your hand like this.” Jiang Yan raised his hand vertically, demonstrating for me.

I nodded, and he started throwing punches!

I immediately raised my hand vertically, and the ring suddenly emitted an azure glow. In an instant, an azure light shield formed in front of me. I stared wide-eyed!

Fuck!

Jiang Yan’s fist hit my shield, and he said, “See? This is the eternal function of the guardian ring. I didn’t expect it to be abandoned…”  His eyes were filled with endless sorrow and regret.

“But now it has a master again!” I excitedly smiled at Jiang Yan, and he got lost in my smile.

“I’m going to bring it back to the battlefield!” I swore, jumping up. I held the gun, raised my hand with the palm up, and looked at my hand. Silently, I let the other fingers fall, leaving only the middle finger upright. I turned to Jiang Yan with a mischievous grin: “See! From now on, I can freely flip the bird at my enemies!”

Jiang Yan immediately snapped out of his daze, and I kept repeatedly drawing the gun, raising the middle finger in front of him. His face started turning dark, looking like he had been completely defeated.

I grinned, swinging my gun as I sat back in front of him: “Jiang Yan~~~I can tell you like this look, haha, you can have it if you want.” I pointed at the remaining items in the box, “It’s all yours to choose from.”

“You think I don’t want them?” He turned his face away, looking gloomy, then let out a heavy sigh. “Perhaps it’s because the ones who abandoned them were from the Godly Clan, so they don’t trust us mortals anymore… Anyway, you, a mere mortal, are the lucky one.” He turned back to me, reaching out to gently pat my head, with a warm and envious smile.
