Chapter 74 - Mental Mark

Lilias blushed after listening to him, she averted her gaze from him and silently removed her spatial ring from her finger and flicked it towards Rowen.

She was doing something that she has told Rowen to avoid doing. However, she can't ever deny his wishes.

Rowen grabbed the ring in his hand and then played with it in his hand, standing up from his seat he moved towards the bed and sat in front of Lilias.

He tried to look into her eyes, however, she avoided his gaze like how repulsive magnets avoid each other. He could see an embarrassed blush on her face. And a smile formed on his lips.

He was teasing his mom, he knew that she would never say no to him no matter what.

"You know you should not share your spatial ring with anyone, it's an unspoken rule of this world," Rowen said with a sarcastic voice.

Lilias finally looked at him, seeing how he was teasing her, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and cast an annoyed gaze at him. "Hmph! So now my little boy has learned how to tease her mom?" She said while narrowing her eyes a little.

Listening to her Rowen smiled and then gave her ring back to her again. "Ok, I will not tease you again. Instead, I will tease Blair from now on." He said with a sly smile on his face, he truly loved seeing his mom getting all frustrated.

It was their way of having fun, both of them knew that they loved each other and these little pranks would not hurt anything.

She narrowed her eyes even more till nothing could be seen of her big eyes. She threw Rowen's ring back at him in anger and moved back a little.

"Why are you angry? Now I will not tease you anymore. Isn't that what you wanted." He said while his laughter almost broke out.

"Hmph!" She was still annoyed with him like a little girl. She wanted him to tease her, however, she was completely confused now as to how to react that is why the more Rowen spoke the more annoyed she got.

Her nature was always like this, she got both happy and annoyed very fast and as she could not say anything to Rowen, she would get angry at other people around her.

Fortunately, no one was around her this time to endure her wrath. Even Blair was gone to do some chores and as for the other servants they were already chased out by Blair last time.

As she turned silent Rowen had nothing to say to tease her anymore so he smiled and took out the Garu's ring from his spatial ring. "Now, stop and let's look at what loot did we got from that feminine guy." He said as he really didn't want to continue this awkward interaction between them.

"Hmm... This time I am letting you off the hook, don't ever tease me again... I mean you can tease me however never choose other girls over me again." She said and then moved towards him waiting for him to take the items out of the ring.

There was an excited expression on her face.

Seeing her mood swings Rowen was surprised. 'How can one person change so fast.'

He wanted to say something again to tease her, however, he stopped himself as he really wanted to check what he got from the tomb.

He already has his hands on the Electric Trident that Aurora used against Garu, it was a Martial Realm treasure.

Then his blood coloured flute that could kill a person while he still smiles like a crazy fool. And last but not least he also got the Blaze Flame dagger that could control anything in the fifty-meter radius once used and can be used to kill someone of one realm higher than the user.

However, that dagger needed strong poisons that could be used in death formations to activate and he has very little supply of that kind of poison.

He was hoping to get much more poison from Garu's ring so he could use that dagger without ever worrying about running out of its fuel.

Finally, as Garu's cultivation was completely sealed and as he was in a different dimension it was quite easy for him to remove the mental mark from his ring.

A mental mark is something that a martial artist place on a ring to prevent someone from opening his ring, and if someone stronger manages to remove the mental mark it also sends a message to the owner that the ring is opened.

It was a connection set up between the Owner and the Ring through his cultivation realm. Only someone of higher cultivation realm could break through the mental mark forcefully.

However, if the owner of the ring dies or get crippled the mental message also gets removed as it is connected to one's cultivation.

And as Garu's cultivation was already sealed and he was technically in another universe it was very easy for Rowen to break the mental mark from Garu's spatial ring.

After releasing a bit of his Qi in the ring, Rowen easily got excess to it, he even imprinted his own mental mark on Garu's ring.

He moved the ring along his hand and finally wore the Ring in his index finger of his Right hand. As spatial rings were made by cultivators, they have the special property of adjusting their size according to the finger of the owner.

The Ring got perfectly fit in his finger.

"I hope this has something of value in it or all of our expectations will go down the drain. And I don't think our journey to the tomb will be worth it if nothing of value came out of this ring." Lilias said with expectation flashing in her black eyes.

"Don't worry, we still got the Blaze flame dagger, a spirit saint monster the Flute and trident from this expedition, so we still got something out of this whole ordeal," Rowen replied, he was already content with what he has got during this expedition.

"Yeah, you have even got two new bitches from this expedition, you would definitely be happy," Lilias said as she was still annoyed by his previous teasing.

Listening to her Rowen smiled and then kissed her on the lips. "Are you happy now, I will not tease you again... I mean I will do it in moderation." He said.

Finally, a smile broke out on the face and she started laughing. "I was just teasing you." Lilias laughed as she has finally got this sly son of hers.

However, Rowen already knew about this and he let her do so on purpose. So she could feel a victory against him.

He transferred his spiritual energy in the Ring and took a look in it.

Lilias on the other side also became serious and stopped laughing.

A green flash appeared in the room and Blair also materialised at the correct timing, she looked that Rowen was looking at the ring he got from the Garu, she silently stood at her place without moving, her hands crossed on the front of her waist.

Her leafy eyes started at the ring in excitement and she also wanted to know what will come out of the spatial ring of someone so powerful.

Inside the Ring, Rowen could see a few clothes, spiritual water and only three things besides them.

One was a sword and other was a glass pitcher with a transparent red coloured liquid filled in it and the final thing was a red coloured badge.

Rowen let out a disappointed sigh after seeing so little things in the ring, he was really hoping to get a load of treasure in the ring of someone so powerful.

'Looks like that Garu guy destroyed all the treasures below martial ream, or maybe the tomb only contained treasures at or above the martial realm.' Rowen thought and then took out the items from the ring.

First Rowen took out the Sword with the Green hilt, he could tell that it was a Martial Grade treasure and one with a fire affinity just by transferring some of his Qi in it.

"This should be a perfect treasure for Blair." He looked at his side and seeing her staring silently at them he threw the sword towards her.

"Practice with it, I am sure you will get much more powerful after using this sword. This sword has fire affinity and can nourish your element and help you breakthrough easily through the next realms" He said.

Blair caught the sword in her hand and then she kneeled down on the floor. "This one does not deserve this treasure, I am just a mere servant." She said.

She really was not hoping to get anything from her master when he opened the ring, however seeing him giving her such a powerful treasure she was genuinely happy.

However, she didn't dare to accept this kind of treasure for him, she knew her position that she is only a servant in his eyes and It would not be ok for her to accept such valuable item.

She was already happy with him thinking about giving her a gift, she doesn't really need this anymore.
