Chapter 80
This ring was unadorned, dark and dull, but Chen Rui keenly felt the faint power from within .

“Extend your left hand and cut your finger, then relax; don’t resist it . ” Shea’s voice sounded .
Chen Rui knew that Shea wouldn’t harm him, so he did accordingly . Shea also cut her fingers . Her blood didn’t drip on the ground, but it floated in the air like red pearls . Shea’s fingers trembled with a peculiar rhythm . The blood drops gradually formed a special mark which led the ring to fly toward Chen Rui’s left hand and fit onto his ring finger .
Their blood mixed together . The blood mark transformed into a new symbol that gradually merged into the ring . Chen Rui felt a burning heat from the ring finger, as if Shea’s blood mixed into his body through the ring . The feeling was extremely amazing . It only dissipated after a long time .
“The name of this ring is called ‘Dark Will” . It can resist all kinds of mental disturbance . Also, you can use
The “Dark Will” was taken from Shea’s hand, so it must not be a common thing . The
However, the finger that the ring is worn on was kind of weird . It’s actually the ring finger . I don’t know if the finger that wears a ring has any special meaning in the Demon Realm . However, the ring finger is definitely not the finger for the wedding ring, otherwise, Shea wouldn’t wear it on that finger for him .
Chen Rui’s heart was filled with emotions, and he blurted out, “Princess Royal, this must be your important treasure . I can’t take it . ”
“Value determines the meaning of existence . Perhaps you can perceive as an exchange of values . ” Shea calmly replied .
That sentence was really insensitive, however, Chen Rui wasn’t angry . He smiled and said, “I understand . I will maintain my value so that it constantly has the meaning of existence . ”
Shea nodded, “Very well . It’s not convenient to bring a maid to the mines for the time being . Initially, I promised to grant you Kia after a month . So, we’ll talk about that when you return safely . As long as you are alive, I can assure you that your wishes will be fulfilled . Even Kia’s ‘Devour Physique’ wouldn’t be a problem . ”
Is this a welfare? My boss’ memory is really good!

“Princess Royal, I really have no intentions for Kia . Please take back the order . ”
Chen Rui smiled and shook his head: To be honest, this siren is really charming . However, the feeling she gives is more of lust, not love . The most important thing is that she’s not willing at all . It’s important for the man and woman to like each other . If there’s any intimacy, it has to be natural . Chen Rui admitted that he liked beauty, but he also had the most basic principle . If he had to rely on some power or other things to possess a woman forcefully, he’d despise himself even if Kia didn’t have the scary “Devour Physique” .
Shea glanced at him with emotion, and her voice was still cold, “Don’t underestimate Kia . If Mountain Xilang is your first test, then Kia is the second . As for why, we’ll talk after you return from Mountain Xilang six months later . ”
Chen Rui only knew that it wasn’t easy for Shea to grant a “maid”, but as Shea said, everything had to wait after the trial at the mines .
Chen Rui bowed, “Then I will go back to prepare; I will leave tomorrow . ”
Shea nodded, opened the file on her desk and ignored him .
Not even a goodbye?
At least something…
Unfortunately, the mine officer didn’t hear anything even with his ears raised, so he had to leave the council hall with disappointment .
“Come back alive . ”
Only after Chen Rui left, the suppressed, low voice sounded . She still didn’t raise her head, but the habitual coldness in her voice had melted a lot . This feeling wasn’t related to whatever value, existence or the like . Unfortunately, someone couldn’t hear it .

Upon returning to the lab, Joseph already sent someone to deliver the promised items . It seemed his work efficiency was pretty high . Perhaps he didn’t want to give Chen Rui any excuse to delay . There were a few magic materials that were actually for the aura conversion . In the space bracelet that Shea gave, there were 100 pieces of the highest quality vine stone .
The mediocre quality vine stone provided 100 – 150 auras . Joseph’s superior vine stone wasn’t stint of materials as the auras provided was almost 4 times the mediocre quality . After converting all the vine stones and other materials, Chen Rui remaining of 90,000 auras rose back to 140,000 auras .
Although the consumption of these rare materials was a little wasteful, strength was more important than anything else . Not to mention that after the galaxy garden’s pivotal seed matured tomorrow, he could gradually use the galaxy garden to produce auras .
After converted everything into auras, it was already dark . Chen Rui hurriedly ate his dinner, rode the wyvern and flew toward the blue lake .
Sure enough, the poison dragon was sitting at the usual place, playing with the Peg’s Solitaire . Knowing that Chen Rui’s loss of spirit was significant previously, Paglio didn’t sneak attack or set inscription to prank .
“How do you feel? Has your spirit recovered?”
“Not yet, but I have to leave for a while . ” Chen Rui laid on the field beside the poison dragon and comfortably stretched out . He picked up a grass root and put it in his mouth while telling Paglio about the matter of Mountain Xilang .
Paglio frowned, “Are you bewitched by the Princess Royal? It’s less than a month before you fight Arux, but you’re still going to Mountain Xilang? Actually… hehe, that little girl that knocked you unconscious that day is quite aggressive . It’s just that her chest is too flat, so you have to wait for a few years first . ”
“Don’t you dare to mention about that! Such an awful guy!” Chen Rui looked at the poison dragon who was trying not to laugh, and he scolded in annoyance . “The reason I’m going to Mountain Xilang is for the grand master’s inheritance . I need a type of waste ores in Mountain Xilang to further awaken my power of inheritance . If this challenge is completed, I may be awarded with black potions . ”
He already had black potions, but he needed auras to exchange . The initial evolution consumed half of the poison dragon’s life span . Although Paglio never mentioned, Chen Rui always kept it in his mind . When he broke through to the “Alioth” state, in other words, reached 3 Stars Evolution Level, the exchange center should have the highest level of black potions – “Life Extension” and “Resurrection”!
He didn’t know how much life span it could add, but at least that was Chen Rui’s idea .
“Black potions!” The poison dragon looked stunned . “9000 years ago, the Demon Realm has two grand masters, the potion grand master, Rosenberg and the mechanic grand master, Lolo . Lolo was a talented dark dwarf who was skilled in mechanics and ancient runes . However, he had no apprentice his entire life, so his skills in mechanics and ancient runes were lost after his death . Thus, other than Zola, basically no one could understand the ancient runes in the Demon Realm . Rosenberg was a dark elf with many disciples, but he was murdered by his senior disciple, Saman because of a secret recipe . After the disappearance of Saman, the black potions disappeared as well . If you can brew black potions, you will definitely shock the entire Demon Realm . ”

“That’s why it’s definitely not the time to show it now . I have to at least help you dispel the
“Hmph! If it isn’t the seal of ancient runes, I can slowly get rid of
“I know . That’s why I have to go to Mountain Xilang . I have the wyverns, so I can greatly shorten the journey back and forth, By then, I’ll come back and fight Arux . Be prepared to see my newly-promoted great strength!”
“Hmph! What about the promotion? I can still step you under my feet . ” The poison dragon criticized him, and he laid down as well . After staring at the sky for a long time, he said, “Have you thought about your loved ones in the human world?”
“My loved ones died very early . ” Chen Rui was talking about his past life . In this life, Arthur might have some relatives, but it had nothing to do with him . At least there weren’t any connections at the moment, “What about you?”
“When I was born, I didn’t see anything other than eggshell . ” Paglio shrugged and casually said, “In those years, I have no loved ones, but I had a lot of enemies instead . ”
“What about friends?”
“Dragons don’t need friends, especially a poison dragon . ” Paglio regained some of the dragon’s arrogance, “Have you seen God having friends? They only need to be respected and feared . They don’t need unnecessary care and understanding . ”
“Perhaps it used to be like that . ” Chen Rui asked, “What about now?”
“Now… In your words, now I’m under your care, so I have to please you . ” Paglio looked helpless .
Chen Rui knew the poison dragon was reluctant to admit, so he didn’t expose, “How about I’ll deceive a beauty here to keep you company?”
“My aesthetic view is different from your low level . ” Paglio glared at him with a scornful look, “Your female grim reaper, succubus, and little girl are good looking, but unfortunately they don’t have the inner qualities I want . The women I like need to have beautiful hard scales, sharp clean teeth, tall and plump body…”
“Slow down! You’re talking about a female dragon, not a woman!” Chen Rui was stunned by Paglio’s heavy taste . It almost gave him a trauma against the opposite sex .
“What do you know!” Paglio grinned and gave him a disdainful look, “You shallow human!”
“…”
“These venoms are for you . Take them for precaution; don’t ever think of taking my Jade Pearl! Even your Athena, her current poison resistance can at least ride the wyvern without any problem . As for you, it’s just plain wasteful!”
“As far as I know, there are many kinds of underground demonic beasts, some even have reached Demon King level or higher . My seal hasn’t been lifted, so remember to escape first if there’s a situation!”
“Fine, Paglio, when did you become so naggy!” Chen Rui shook his swollen head . “Rest reassured . I haven’t gotten my hand on the treasure at the Silent Night Wetland . How can I die so easily!”
Even so, Chen Rui could still feel the concern behind those words . He also felt such a faint warmth from a certain iceberg .
“Such a greedy guy! If it weren’t that my life is linked with yours…”
Before Paglui could finish his words, Chen Rui had already ridden the wyvern and flew away .
“Hmph! You ran pretty fast! You actually said I’m naggy!” Paglio watched Chen Rui disappeared into the sky . He then laid down, imitated the human to hold the grass in his mouth and closed his eyes .
