AMRWFA -Chapter 208 Handing It Over

Of course, this was only a guess—whether it was true or not would depend on what happened next.

But in any case, that thing devoured an evil god and spat out purified souls in return, so it was definitely something good.

As long as it was good, they could tolerate it.

Qin Shibo and the others reacted very quickly. The moment Ruan Yaoyao mentioned that Ma Aotian’s “golden finger” had been dealt with, he immediately arranged for people to be on standby, waiting for Ma Aotian to lose control so they could “swap back” that ring.

And just as Ruan Yaoyao had predicted, after Ma Aotian finished his date and returned home, he only then realized that his “ancestor grandfather” in the ring had been silent for a long time.

So he called out to it in his mind.

But no matter how much he shouted, the old man in the ring did not respond.

Strange?

Was he asleep?

Ma Aotian sent a strand of energy into the ring, trying to wake the “grandfather.” But the moment he did, something was clearly wrong.

It was empty.

Not only did he fail to connect with the old man, he even discovered that the ring had become “blank.”

Yes—completely blank.

The originally dark, foggy space—where he could faintly see a table, a bed, and a bookshelf—had turned into absolute void. There was nothing at all.

“Where is he?”

Ma Aotian panicked.

“Grandpa?”

“Grandpa, where are you?!”

“Grandpa, say something!”

“Stop joking around!”

……

He called out for a long time, but there was no response at all.

He was starting to panic.

He didn’t even know when he had lost the ring.

Could it have been during his date with that woman?

Right—he had also taken a shower halfway through.

Even though he was still wearing the ring, he hadn’t kept his eyes open the whole time. Maybe it had been stolen at some point.

And during their… intimate moment, she even brought wine over. The lighting was dim and hazy—who knew if someone had been hiding in the room?

Maybe the ring had been swapped when he wasn’t paying attention.

Ma Aotian’s heart pounded violently. He quickly called his subordinates and ordered them to arrest that woman and wait for him.

As for the “fake ring” on his hand…

Yes, that must be it.

Since no one responded after he called for so long, it had to be fake. The real ring must have been swapped out.

He ripped it off and threw it to the ground, grabbed his clothes, and rushed out the door.

When he left, someone was already waiting in a room across the hall.

Through the surveillance feed, they clearly saw that Ma Aotian was missing a ring. They immediately confirmed it was the right moment.

Once Ma Aotian got into the car, a “security guard” quickly went upstairs, used a master key to open his apartment, found the ring in the trash bin, compared it carefully, and replaced the fake one with the real one. Then he swiftly left.

After several transfers, within less than an hour, the ring had been delivered to Director Qin Shibo.

Director Qin Shibo examined it and found nothing special about it—just a gold ring with a blue sapphire. It looked flashy, almost like a nouveau riche accessory.

“How do we use this thing?”

He felt like he was standing before a treasure mountain with no entrance. Frustrating.

With no other choice, Director Qin Shibo personally made a trip.

“So fast?!” Ruan Yaoyao was surprised at the state’s efficiency—but this was too fast. It was barely dark outside.

“I haven’t even digested dinner yet!”

Director Qin Shibo said somewhat awkwardly, “It’s not that we were fast. It’s just that Ma Aotian discovered it quickly. He thought the ring was fake and threw it away… We picked it up, but we’re not sure which one is real, so we need your help to confirm.”

“No problem! I can check it.”

Ruan Yaoyao was quite confident in this. She had seen it on Ma Aotian’s hand before—now that it was in her hand, how could she not recognize it?

When Director Qin Shibo took out the ring, a subtle change appeared in her eyes. A faint golden glow emerged.

She saw a ring emitting white light. Inside it was a huge space, foggy and empty.

Ruan Yaoyao instantly felt a little guilty.

【After all, just a few hours ago, it was still full. The little golden snake had emptied it out.】

【Where does the little golden snake live?】

【It’s in my dantian now… even if I say it has nothing to do with me, no one would believe it anyway.】

She nodded. “Yes, this is the ring. The storage space is quite large.”

【I just don’t know if it’s a growth-type space, or if this is its maximum size.】

【It feels like it got smaller!】

Director Qin Shibo asked, “Do you know how to use it?”

“Huh?”

【You’re asking me?】

【Is this a test, or what…?】

Ruan Yaoyao wasn’t sure, but she still answered honestly, “I’m not entirely sure, but based on my experience reading novels, you can try blood binding. If that doesn’t work, try mental binding… and if that still doesn’t work, soul binding.”

“Then let’s try blood binding first.” Director Qin Shibo said. The latter two were currently not feasible.

If it still didn’t work, they might have to “give” it to Ruan Yaoyao.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.

She stared eagerly, wanting to see how blood binding worked.

But unexpectedly, Qin Shibo called her son, Ru Anzhi.

Give it to my son?

Ru Anzhi had already anticipated this.

Even though he might not rank high enough in terms of hierarchy, he had a capable mother.

Whether for connections or convenience, letting him bind the space ring was the most practical choice.

He pricked his finger with a needle and dripped a drop of blood onto the ring.

As expected, the blood was absorbed.

Then he felt something appear in his mind.

Ruan Yaoyao asked, “How does it feel?”

Ru Anzhi replied, “It feels… like it succeeded!”

He closed his eyes and sensed it. Indeed, he could feel a foggy space—not very large, but at least the size of a room.

A thought appeared in his mind: he needed to cultivate. As his cultivation level increased, the space ring would also upgrade, eventually becoming a divine artifact.

He opened his eyes and told everyone.

Director Qin Shibo slapped his thigh. “Good! Then you should cultivate properly. I believe with your ability, you’ll definitely turn it into a divine ring.”

Ru Anzhi: …Did you forget I don’t even know how to cultivate?

Director Qin Shibo shot him a look, then glanced at his mother.

Ruan Yaoyao was nodding enthusiastically. “Yes, yes, cultivate well. Once you turn it into a divine ring, you’ll be amazing—maybe even able to command wind and rain, move mountains and seas.”

【I’m jealous, I’m jealous!】

【That’s basically a god, isn’t it?】

【I wonder if I can benefit from it later—live longer, stay young forever… heh.】

【Suddenly, the “youth gu” didn’t seem so appealing anymore. This was better.】

【Clinging to her son’s success, she could still get youth and beauty!】
