Chapter 991: Dragon-Blood Ring
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen saw a red-jade ring drop to the floor . It had been on the man's finger, but it slipped off when the body withered .
He was not interested in jewelry, but he gave it a scan to see if it was significant, anyway . It wasn't, to his knowledge, so Han Sen paid it no mind .
But when Moment Queen saw the ring, she was shocked . She pretended not to be, though .
Han Sen had never heard of the ring before, but she had .
The blood-ring was something of much renown .
When she was in the Third God's Sanctuary the first time, Dragon King was incredibly famous . He also had a vast collection of jewelry .
His most important possession was this ring . He would never be seen without it, and Dragon King had an obsessive compulsion to never let it out of his sight .
People said Dragon King synthesized the ring with the horn of a super creature, and he fed the ring with his own blood for many years .
While many people had seen the ring, few knew what it did exactly .
The only time he would remove the ring was to fight a human . And when he set it aside, not even his wives were allowed to touch it .
He once murdered his favorite wife for touching his ring . When she touched it, she did so by accident, and as a consequence, he broke her spirit stone without remorse .
Some said the ring possessed Dragon King's second soul, and all his memories were stored there, like a back-up .
If he ever failed his ascension to the Fourth God's Sanctuary, he could resurrect himself with this ring .
Although it was just a legend, and something unproven, it was still a valuable artifact . It was the most important treasure of the late Dragon King .
Moment Queen wanted the ring for herself, as a sort of memento . If she went to get it, though, Han Sen would believe the ring to have a true worth and keep it for himself .
"Hm, how can I grab the ring? I need to distract him, somehow . " Moment Queen tried to think of a way in which she could draw his attention away from the sight .
As she contemplated what to do, Han Sen was still observing the body . He circled it slowly, over and over . Despite how much he looked, there did not seem to be anything there of worth . He fancied taking the king's armor, but after touching it, it started to decompose .
Han Sen scanned the corpse repeatedly, unable to fathom how he might walk away from the venture without a reward .
Moment Queen, just about managing to contain her excitement, said, "That armor is pretty good; you should check it out . "
"The armor is turning into goop . How is that 'pretty good'?" Han Sen said .
Moment Queen then said, "The reason it decomposes is because of the scales . It decomposes with the body . "
"Okay, and what's your point? It's ruined now . " Han Sen frowned .
Moment Queen smiled and said, "You don't understand . There is one portion of the scales that won't decompose . "
"Which part would that be?" Han Sen asked with confusion .
"There is a dragon-scale that grows upside down . Even when Dragon King dies, that scale won't decompose . It will absorb his lifeforce, and thus be quite precious," Moment Queen explained .
"You're saying it's that good? Hm, where is it?" Han Sen said .
"I don't know . It must be underneath the armor or something; you should take a look," Moment Queen said .
"Okay, fine . I'll take a look!" Han Sen then got to it, in search of the mystical dragon-scale Moment Queen had told him about .
When Moment Queen saw Han Sen begin to rummage about the body, she coldly smiled and thought to herself, "Consider this a trade for the ring . If I didn't want this ring so badly, I wouldn't have told you about the scale, either . "
Moment Queen had not lied about the scale's existence, but it was an effective way of buying time for herself .
And even though she knew, she wasn't willing to tell him where exactly the scale could be found . If she did, she'd have no time to fetch the ring without attracting his notice .
Han Sen, no longer focusing on her, was keen on pillaging the corpse . The prospect of treasure always demanded his attention . She walked around, as if pretending to be busy elsewhere, all the while eyeing the ring on the ground .
The dragon-blood ring was near the altar, and as if she was pretending to examine the altar itself, she inched her way closer to the ring .
"Mwahaha, it's mine! If the legends are true, perhaps I can use the emperor's help to get rid of this *sshole for good," Moment Queen thought .
As Han Sen plundered the body, she did her best to control her heartbeat and act as normal as possible .
"It's mine!" Seeing the ring so close, Moment Queen was exuberantly joyous . She believed the ring would aid her in escaping Han Sen's control .
Just as her finger touched the ring, a fat little hand reached out to grab it . Moment Queen froze .
"Ah . . . " Bao'er looked very curious, holding the ring .
