Chapter 1298: Chapter 1298: Space Ring, Black Jade Pendant

"Huff..."

With the help of the Defensive Array and the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu finally neutralized the murderous intent from the Spatial Ring and simultaneously sighed in relief.

"So you get scared too, huh!"

Xia Chenyu stood behind Fang Bai, noting his sweat-soaked back and couldn’t help but giggle softly, stepping closer and wrapping her arms around him, her tender body pressing gently against his back.

"Almost lost my life there, how could I not be scared? Now you see how terrifying Innate Experts can be, don’t you?"

Fang Bai wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, sighing inwardly.

In his past life, such attacks were mere tickles to him, but now they posed fatal threats, making him break out in a cold sweat.

"Mm, I understand. Fang Bai, you saved my life again, how about I repay you with my body?"

Xia Chenyu said seductively, tightening her embrace around Fang Bai, as if trying to meld herself into his body.

"Hey, Chenyu, can you please stop moving like that? I really don’t want your repayment right now... Humph, just give up on that thought! My Dao heart is steadfast, and I won’t be tempted by you!"

Feeling the tender and soft body behind him pressing closer and deliberately rubbing against him, Fang Bai knew that this woman was definitely trying to seduce him again.

If Fang Bai had cultivated the Heartless Dao in his past life, becoming cold-hearted and indifferent to women as if they were mere skeletons, then even if Xia Chenyu were beautiful, he would have ignored her.

However, it just so happened that Fang Bai had cultivated the Passionate Dao in his past life, known across the Immortal Realm as the Passionate Immortal Emperor, with many beloved ladies by his side, envied by others.

Xia Chenyu was a woman Fang Bai liked and connected with spiritually. If Fang Bai’s Dao heart wasn’t steadfast, he would have already broken her Primordial Yin Physique under her repeated seductions, benefiting immensely but possibly ruining Xia Chenyu’s Martial Dao prospects.

Fang Bai was not a selfish person, and naturally would not do such a thing. At least until Xia Chenyu reached the Innate Realm, no matter how she tried to seduce him, he would maintain his Dao heart and resist forcefully.

Meanwhile, Xia Chenyu had long been deeply in love with Fang Bai, and being by his side made her content. As for matters of Martial Dao, she did not take them too seriously.

Furthermore, Xia Chenyu knew that Fang Bai was surrounded by beauties, each not inferior to her. If she could establish a closer relationship with him before others, she saw it as winning against them, hence she took a proactive approach towards Fang Bai.

However, Xia Chenyu also knew that Fang Bai would not easily accept her, yet she persisted happily because she enjoyed seeing Fang Bai clearly affected by her, yet having to forcibly resist.

"Alright, Chenyu, stop messing around for now. Let’s think about how to get that Spatial Ring!"

Fang Bai finally managed to restrain the restlessness stirred by Xia Chenyu within his heart, redirecting his attention back to the finger of the corpse wearing the Spatial Ring.

Xia Chenyu then released her arms and stood by Fang Bai’s side, recalling the fierce murderous intent burst from the Spatial Ring, she spoke with lingering fear: "Maybe... let’s just forget it? Who knows how much terrifying murderous intent is hidden in that Spatial Ring, it’s not worth losing our lives over."

Fang Bai said, "Forget about it? That’s not acceptable! Any Martial Artist in this world would go crazy for an Innate Expert’s relic. Since it has come into our path, we cannot miss it."

"But..."

Xia Chenyu hesitated.

"Don’t worry, we’ll stand even further back and continue probing with Essence Stones! I refuse to believe that the murderous intent stored in that Spatial Ring could outmatch the Essence Stones on me."

Fang Bai took Xia Chenyu’s hand and retreated further away from the corpse, still clutching the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, ready to counter any oncoming murderous intents.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Three Essence Stones were consecutively thrown by Fang Bai, still targeting the Spatial Ring on the finger of the corpse.

As expected, the three Essence Stones triggered three strong killing intents again, causing considerable trouble for both of them.

Fortunately, this time Fang Bai was mentally prepared and had a foolproof strategy, narrowly avoiding the backlash from the three killing intents.

Fang Bai persisted and continued to throw Essence Stones. After the ninth Essence Stone, no new killing intents emerged from the Spatial Ring on the corpse.

"Now, you can go get that Spatial Ring."

Fang Bai put away the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, took a deep breath, and smiled at Xia Chenyu.

Xia Chenyu grunted, approached the corpse with full alertness, carefully took off the Spatial Ring, and then returned to Fang Bai’s side.

"Huh? Why can’t it be opened? This Spatial Ring is strange!"

Xia Chenyu tried to infuse a strand of True Yuan into the Spatial Ring, but found that she couldn’t open its space and see what was stored inside.

"Let me have a look."

Fang Bai took the Spatial Ring from Xia Chenyu, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and smiled, "This Innate Expert was an Array Master; naturally, his Spatial Ring is different from ordinary ones."

Xia Chenyu said, "Are you saying... there’s a Formation engraved on this Spatial Ring?"

Fang Bai nodded, rubbing his finger over the Spatial Ring a few times, erasing the Formation engraved on it, then tossed it back to Xia Chenyu, saying, "Try opening it now; it should work."

"Hmm, I wonder what treasures lie inside the Spatial Ring of an Innate Expert... I’m really looking forward to it!"

Xia Chenyu happily took the Spatial Ring, infused a strand of True Yuan into it again, and finally saw the items piled up inside. She then stood there with her mouth agape as if she had swallowed an egg.

"My goodness... this Spatial Ring is so huge! There are so many cultivation resources inside! Fang Bai, we’re rich!"

Regaining her composure, Xia Chenyu lost all restraint of a lady and cheered joyfully like a happy young girl.

Meanwhile, Fang Bai’s attention had already shifted from the Spatial Ring to a jade pendant hanging around the corpse’s neck.

The jade pendant, the size of a pigeon egg, looked like a falling black droplet strung with a black silk thread, its surface shrouded with a faint black halo.

The black droplet jade pendant appeared ordinary at a glance, but when Fang Bai tried to probe inside it with his Divine Sense, he felt a sharp pain in his head as if stabbed by a steel needle, taken aback, he immediately retracted his released Divine Sense.

"Fang Bai, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Fang Bai suddenly showing a pained expression, Xia Chenyu asked with concern.

"I’m fine..."

Fang Bai shook his head, spread his right hand, and made a grabbing motion towards the jade pendant hanging from the corpse’s neck.
