Chapter 1310: Chapter 1344: The Two Divine Artifacts: Magic Bracelet and Star Ring

”It’s gone!”

Nangong Bing looked down, and the Star Ring on her index finger had indeed disappeared.

In its place was a lotus-shaped mark on her index finger, very distinct and blood-red. If one didn’t look closely, it would be difficult to notice this lotus-shaped mark.

”How could there be a red lotus mark on my index finger?”

Nangong Bing opened her mouth, shocked and speechless. She found it hard to imagine that the Star Ring she had worn this morning had now turned into this.

When they were in the woods, Hawke Martin had also noticed the Star Ring, but due to its ordinary appearance, he didn’t find anything special about it. Little did he know, this Star Ring would become an important item that could change Nangong Bing’s life.

”The Star Ring must have fused with you,” Lin Zifeng said calmly. ”As long as it’s not a bad thing, I think it could be very helpful to you.”

”But... I, I don’t want to have this kind of power.”

Hearing Lin Zifeng mention that Hawke Martin had died by her hand, Nangong Bingxin worried that if she ever became a different person and couldn’t control this magical power, would she end up harming Lin Zifeng?

”Since you already have it, just go with destiny,” Lin Zifeng looked into her eyes and said seriously, ”As long as it doesn’t harm you, having it won’t affect your life.”

Lin Zifeng knew that he had also changed through the Magic Bracelet, and it had never had any bad influence on him. On the contrary, it was a tremendous help, and without it, he probably would have been killed long ago.

”But, I’m just a normal woman; I don’t want this power.”

Nangong Bingxin, being thoughtful, understood that if she truly possessed this power, it might create a rift between her and Lin Zifeng in the future. As a gentle woman, she naturally hoped for Lin Zifeng’s affection.

However, if she were to become like an empress, what use would Lin Zifeng be then?

If she became too powerful, the pressure on Lin Zifeng would increase, and his attention towards her would surely wane.

”Silly girl, I know what you’re thinking. You’re afraid that if you become too powerful, I won’t care about you anymore,” Lin Zifeng joked helplessly, wrapping his arm around her waist, and whispered warmly into her ear, ”Don’t worry, you’ll always be my Empress Dowager. No matter how you change, I, Lin Zifeng, will never leave you!”

”Darling.”

Moved, Nangong Bing felt warmth in her heart and her eyes moistened. She leaned on his shoulder like a child.

Since her father passed away, she hadn’t relied on anyone like this for a long time.

Nangong Bing had pitiful circumstances, having managed Tianyu Group in the past solely to alleviate her father’s stress. Losing her mother at a young age, she valued family ties greatly.

After her father’s death, the only person Nangong Bing could rely on was likely Lin Zifeng.

”Ha ha... The always strong and unmatched ice goddess is now crying. Aren’t you afraid someone will laugh if they find out?”

Lin Zifeng teased her with a hearty laugh.

”You annoying guy!” Nangong Bing shyly thumped his chest, but those seemingly weak two punches made Lin Zifeng’s chest feel heavy, almost knocking the wind out of him.

”Cough, cough...” Lin Zifeng rolled his eyes and coughed hard.

”Hey, are you okay?” Nangong Bing turned pale and quickly checked on him.

”Ha, I was just kidding.” He put on a cheeky grin again.

”You jerk! You dare to mess with me at a time like this; see if I don’t punch you to death~!”

”Hey, hey, hey, your punches hit my wound just right? Ouch! Are you serious now?” Lin Zifeng hurriedly ran to the second floor, the wound left by Hawke Martin still hurting.

”Dare to mock me, see if I don’t skin you alive~”

They play-fought and laughed, creating a very warm atmosphere.

...

That night, Lin Zifeng sat at the head of the bed while Nangong Bing sat at the foot. Following Lin Zifeng’s instructions, she tried to see if she could summon the power of the Star Ring again.

The combat power Nangong Bing had shown in the forest today was truly astonishing.

She was unaware of her own cultivation, but Lin Zifeng wasn’t blind.

He speculated that Nangong Bing’s cultivation might have possibly reached the Sub-Saint Realm’s First Layer Heaven!

It was truly terrifying.

”No, I can’t anymore. It’s exhausting, and I just can’t summon the power of the Star Ring. Lin Zifeng, you didn’t lie to me, did you? Was Hawke Martin really killed by me today in the woods?” Nangong Bing still found it hard to believe that she could kill Hawke Martin, especially when even Lin Zifeng wasn’t his match. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn’t be that godlike, right?

”If you don’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do.” Lin Zifeng spread his hands and sighed helplessly, ”Alright, since you can’t summon the power of the Star Ring, I’ll try another method.” Lin Zifeng had already made up his mind: Nangong Bing possessed the Star Ring, while he hid the Magic Bracelet.

If word got out that they both possessed such powerful artifacts, they would surely alert all the world’s strong figures.

But Lin Zifeng and Nangong Bing didn’t know that having these divine artifacts would nearly push Lin Zifeng to the brink of death in the near future, and Nangong Bing would nearly die in that great calamity...

One Magic Bracelet was already enough for Holy War Angels to vie over with bloody conflict, let alone a Star Ring whose power was equal to that of the Magic Bracelet?

”Is there another way?” Nangong Bing’s eyes widened in curiosity as she looked at him.

”But, I have to remind you, the secret of the Star Ring within you should be known only to yourself; you must not tell anyone else besides me. Once your secret leaks out, not only will my situation become perilous, but you’ll also invite life-threatening risks!”

”Is this thing really that important?”

Nangong Bing wasn’t aware of the power of the Star Ring and Magic Bracelet, thus she didn’t understand the capabilities of these two divine artifacts.

The Magic Bracelet could continuously provide endless primordial energy to a cultivator.

The Star Ring could endlessly increase a cultivator’s combat power, nearly raising the cultivation to the Sub-Saint Realm. Who in the world wouldn’t desire such an ability?

”Yes, it’s very important. Extremely important.” Lin Zifeng nodded seriously, pulling out the Magic Bracelet from his chest and placing it before the puzzled Nangong Bing.

”This is just as powerful as the Star Ring. It’s said its greatest ability is to resurrect the spiritual sense of a dead person, allowing a deceased person to be reborn.”

Lin Zifeng appeared extremely sincere.

Instantly, Nangong Bing’s eyes widened, speechless.
