The Ring

The Dawn Elf perched on Xia Ranran's head let out a weak groan.

Welcome home.

Ling Yuan smiled as he walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of soup.

"Brother Ling Yuan, what's wrong with you..." Xia Ranran was stunned and looked at Ling Yuan in surprise.

This is quite different from the Brother Ling Yuan she knew, who only knew how to freeload.

Ling Yuan walked over and took the Dawn Elf off Ranran's head. "During your training period, I will cook dinner. You should train and rest well."

"Brother Ling Yuan..." Ranran was touched.

"Big brother!"

Suddenly, the space above Ling Yuan's head opened up.

With a "thud," a black figure fell directly from the void, knocking Ling Yuan, who was in front of Xia Ranran, to the ground.

Riding on Ling Yuan's waist, Little Lingxi looked at Xia Ranran with curiosity. "Sister Ranran, where is big brother?"

"Under you." Xia Ranran pointed to Lingxi's lower body with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"?" Little Lingxi was taken aback.

At this moment, a helpless voice came from beneath Lingxi: "If you want to find me, please come down first."

"Ah!"

Looking down at Ling Yuan, who looked utterly dejected, Little Lingxi was startled.

"Sorry, sorry!"

She quickly apologized and got off Ling Yuan's back.

"Fine."

After getting up from the ground, Ling Yuan patted the dust off his chest.

Chapter 175 The Ring

As Ling Yuan stood up, Little Lingxi Ling Yuan Ling Yuan down in a chair.

"Um, actually I'm fine."

Ling Yuan felt a little embarrassed being supported by Little Lingxi.

They threw her out in the afternoon.

Does this count as him being fawned over?

"Ranran is back?!"

Just as Ling Yuan was feeling good about himself, Xiao Shi came out of the bedroom upstairs and his face lit up with joy when he saw Ranran.

He jumped straight down from the building.

The reason Xiao Shi so happy to see Ranran was not because she liked Ranran that much, but because the latter's return meant she could finally cook.

If Ling Yuan hadn't said he would wait for Ranran to come back, she would have finished eating long ago.

"Xiao Shi, have you been good at home today?" Seeing Xiao Shi, Ranran reached out and gently rubbed Xiao Shi's head.

"???"

"Don't touch my head! Don't think you can touch me just because you're older than me!" Xiao Shi dodged away in a flash.

"Big, big, Xiao Shi, don't talk nonsense..." Xia Ranran's cheeks instantly turned red.

She glanced at Ling Yuan cautiously.

"Xiao Shi, stop teasing Ranran, go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Yay!"

Upon hearing that they could eat, Xiao Shi cheered and instantly appeared in the bathroom.

"Have I spoiled Xiao Shi?"

Looking at Xiao Shi, who appeared in the bathroom using his abilities just because he wanted to cook, Ling Yuan stroked his chin and said.

"Brother Ling Yuan, who are they?"

Over here, Xia Ranran noticed Kallen and Sakuya coming downstairs with Zhong Xiaoli and couldn't help but ask.

"Just treat them like Kiana and Himeko," Ling Yuan said.

Xia Ranran suddenly realized.

His gaze toward the two little girls was filled with heartache.

Despite being so young, she left her family and came to a strange world alone.

"Stay here and make yourself at home."

Kallen: "???"

Sakuya: "???"

The two looked at each other blankly, then at Xia Ranran, whose expression was full of tenderness.

Did this older sister misunderstand something?

Just as Kallen was about to speak, Ling Yuan called them to eat.

The two of them were naturally led by Xia Ranran to the dining table.

"Eat rice! Eat rice!"

Holding her chopsticks, Xiao Shi looked at Ling Yuan expectantly.

"Why don't you just call him the Herrscher of Knowledge, and call him the Herrscher of Rice?" Ling Yuan complained, placing a bowl of rice in front of Xiao Shi.

After finishing his meal, Ling Yuan took out the spear he had borrowed from Xiao Shi from his System Space.

"Give."

"It's alright, Ling Yuan, you can continue using it. For me, my fists are still better." He clenched his seemingly small but powerfully shatterable fist.

"If that's how you put it, then I won't hold back." Ling Yuan walked directly up to Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi: "???"

With Xiao Shi looking completely bewildered, Ling Yuan grabbed Xiao Shi's waist.

Subsequently

With a forceful pull, Xiao Shi was lifted up.

"Ling Yuan, what are you going to do?" Xiao Shi asked, puzzled.

But the next second she knew what the other person was going to do.

Ling Yuan turned Xiao Shi upside down, making him face down.

"Summon them all!"

As he spoke, Ling Yuan hugged Xiao Shi's waist and began to shake her against the ground.

Bang bang bang!

A greatsword, a pair of gauntlets, a chain blade, a longsword, a dagger, and a whole bunch of other things fell to the ground from Xiao Shi's body.

The others were stunned.

"Wow, how did you manage to hide so many things on your person?"

After the shaking ended, Ling Yuan placed the dizzy Xiao Shi on the sofa and exclaimed in shock.

There isn't even a cat, yet there's a portal to another dimension?

"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were trying to assassinate me." Ling Yuan picked up a hidden dart from the ground, a bead of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

He has made up his mind that he will no longer be able to sleep with Xiao Shi wearing clothes.

That's too dangerous!

You never know if a dagger might suddenly fall from the latter's body and plunge into a major artery.

"About this, um, hehe."

Faced with Ling Yuan's question, Xiao Shi decided to play the cute card to get by.

Ling Yuan: "..."

"Here, take this. You can put all your things in here from now on!"

Ling Yuan took out a card from the System Space and handed it to Xiao Shi.

This is a card space that he had the system create. It has a huge amount of space and should theoretically be able to hold all kinds of items.

"Cards? These things are not very convenient to carry around."

Ling Yuan was taken aback.

That seems to be true.

"That..."

Take it back from Xiao Shi.

The next second, the card emitted a white light, then slowly shrank, solidified, and finally transformed into a ring inlaid with a ruby.

"That should solve the problem."

As he spoke, under Xiao Shi's stunned gaze, Ling Yuan directly put the ring on the middle finger of the other person's right hand.

It means that the flower is already taken.

"Is it pretty?" Ling Yuan asked.

"Oh? Oh, it looks good."

After Xiao Shi realized what was happening, she stared blankly at the ring on her right middle finger.

Her bright eyes trembled slightly.

"Big brother, I want it too!" Little Lingxi shook Ling Yuan's hand.

"I know, I know, you have one too." Unable to refuse her, Ling Yuan also took out a small blue ring and put it on Little Lingxi's right little finger.

"Huh? Why not like Sister Xiao Shi?" Little Lingxi asked, puzzled.

"Hmm, guess?" Ling Yuan smiled mysteriously.

Of course, Ranran also had one; Ling Yuan put it on the ring finger of her right hand.

When Ling Yuan's gift, Ranran smiled like she had never before.

The fatigue from today's training has vanished.

To avoid favoritism, Ling Yuan pinned a Geo-attribute Eye of God to the back of Zhong Xiaoli's waist.

Kallen's pendant is a cross with the 'Oath of Judah' on it, while Sakuya's is a 'Oath of Sakura'.

The two little ones were very happy to receive the gift.

Although people at school would often give them gifts, none of them were as heartwarming as the gifts Ling Yuan gave them.

"It's late today, and I have two empty rooms. You can sleep here tonight," Ling Yuan said.

These two empty rooms are perfect for Kiana and Himeko.

"But..." Kallen hesitated.

Where will you stay tonight?

"School dormitory".

"There shouldn't be many people at school during summer vacation, right?"

"Um."

"It's already very late. If we go back, it will be very dangerous for you two children. If you encounter bad people, you might not even have time to fight back," Ling Yuan said.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you," Kallen said after a moment's thought.

"It's alright, and you're welcome to come visit often in the future," Ling Yuan said with a smile.
