Chapter 64: An Alliance. From Now On, I’ll Be Following Sister Ying!
“Something strange? The first time, nothing really happened. But last night, I think I had a dream. In the dream, I was swallowed by a mass of black mist out in space. Other than that, there was nothing else.”
After thinking it over, Xiao Xuan frowned and still chose to reveal part of the truth selectively.
As a stowaway, sooner or later he would be discovered by Mu Xiying.
If he let her know some of what he knew in advance, then she would at least be mentally prepared. At the same time, this was also a way to test how tolerant Mu Xiying would be of his being a stowaway. If her tolerance was very low and she even wanted to make a move against him, then there would be no helping it. He would have no choice but to fight.
If her tolerance was acceptable, then he could continue observing. And if her tolerance was high enough, then perhaps before long, he would be able to lay all his cards on the table.
Of course, judging from the way he had gotten along with Mu Xiying in the future, her tolerance would most likely be quite high. She might even hope that he could travel through time together with her.
Boom!!
But Xiao Xuan’s words instantly exploded inside Mu Xiying’s mind.
She looked at Xiao Xuan in disbelief.
In space? Swallowed?
Was that not exactly the scene from the final future, when Xiao Xuan and she led humanity away, only to encounter the Evil God in outer space?
Logically speaking, Xiao Xuan should not have known any of that.
And if he did know, then there was only one possibility.
Xiao Xuan had truly come into contact with the River of Time.
“So Xiao Xuan and the others were swallowed too? In other words, that Evil God wasn’t targeting only me?”
In an instant, Mu Xiying’s expression turned grave.
But that was not the main issue. What mattered was that Xiao Xuan could also come into contact with fragments of the future. If that was possible for him, then what about other people?
That was what mattered most.
“That’s right. I’ve also come into contact with some fragments of the future. I simply know a little more than you do.”
Mu Xiying took a deep breath and finally chose to explain things to Xiao Xuan.
After that, she mainly focused on explaining the Evil God of the future. As for everything else, she did not mention it.
There was no need to say too much.
After listening, Xiao Xuan put on a thoughtful expression.
“So in other words, that so-called Evil God wasn’t just trying to kill you, but everyone on Earth as well? Then again, not necessarily. It’s also possible that the future me simply happened to be near you, and killing the rest of us was only something it did along the way.”
Xiao Xuan speculated.
“Yes, that is indeed possible. Unless it happens again, and unless you can retain your memories again as well, we will never solve that mystery.”
Mu Xiying looked at Xiao Xuan and spoke gravely.
“Then how about this? For the next stretch of time, we stay together. Maybe we really will run into that power again.”
Xiao Xuan probed carefully.
“That was my thought as well. But it probably won’t happen right away. At the very least, there should be a few days between occurrences. Let’s finish this so-called Top Hundred Genius Tournament first.”
After a moment’s thought, Mu Xiying nodded without hesitation.
“All right. That works too.”
Hearing that, Xiao Xuan nodded in agreement at once.
“Oh, right. This is Tian Ji’s Storage Ring. I saw that you didn’t have one, so take it and use it for now.”
There are also two Teleportation Crystals inside. Their grade isn’t very high, but if you run into danger, they should still be able to buy you a little time.
“Once I have better materials later, I’ll forge you a better one.”
At that moment, Mu Xiying tossed a Storage Ring to Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan’s eyes lit up instantly.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony, Sister Ying. Once I make it big in the future, I’ll definitely repay you!”
Xiao Xuan grinned and accepted it without the slightest hesitation.
He knew very well that the Mu Xiying before him was a terrifying thirteenth-tier Alchemist!
What kind of concept was that? Even the most precious medicinal ingredients currently possessed by humanity would be nothing more than trifles she could refine at will.
Although alchemy and artifact forging were not exactly the same, the gap between them was not large either. In the future, Mu Xiying’s forging level had already reached twelfth tier.
A mere Storage Ring and a few Teleportation Crystals were probably beneath her notice.
“Then you’d better remember those words.”
When Mu Xiying heard what Xiao Xuan said, she could not help smiling faintly. Then she shot straight into the sky, broke through the golden barrier, and vanished from Xiao Xuan’s sight.
Their realms differed too greatly, so in principle they were not supposed to form a team, nor were they allowed to remain together for long.
Xiao Xuan, meanwhile, turned his gaze toward the Storage Ring.
He branded it with his soul at once, and instantly the ring’s data appeared before him through the Supreme Will.
Equipment: Dark Storage Ring
Grade: Peak Seventh Tier
Quality: Mid Blue
Base Weight: 10 kilograms
Base Value: Tenth Heaven of the Martial Emperor Realm
Traits:
【Darkness Enhancement! Blue】 (Basic spell damage +700%, with dark attribute attached, 0/10,000)
【Spatial Storage! Blue】 (Can open an internal storage space! Space size: 1,000-meter diameter, 0/10,000)
The moment Xiao Xuan saw the ring’s attributes, his eyes lit up.
The two item traits were actually both Blue!
Blue item traits were extremely valuable.
Item traits were rare to begin with.
Only an extremely powerful Artificer, working with exceptionally powerful materials, could forge a weapon of this level.
Suddenly, inspiration struck Xiao Xuan.
“Wait. Can I pull out this Spatial Storage trait and put it on myself?”
That thought occurred to him all at once.
If he could, then would that not mean he could open up a storage space of his own?
“Among spatial talents, there are indeed some that come with an internal storage space, but they are extraordinarily rare.”
Still, this kind of trait is honestly a little useless. Compared with other traits, this one can be completely replaced by a Storage Ring. And once you have money, a Storage Ring can be upgraded, whereas your own trait can’t.
But I’m different.
“If this storage trait were on me, it would be far more convenient to use.”
Xiao Xuan wasted no time. He first dumped everything inside the Storage Ring out in one go.
Tian Ji did not actually have much.
Although he was a prince, he had come here as an infiltrator, so naturally he could not bring too much with him.
Inside the ring, there were only three Teleportation Crystals left, along with one huge banner.
Curious, Xiao Xuan pulled out the banner, and a wave of black smoke immediately billowed from it.
Xiao Xuan was instantly speechless. This would not happen to be the legendary Myriad Souls Banner, would it?
As expected of the Demon Race, they really did make things like this!
Xiao Xuan sneered inwardly, then tossed it aside. After that, he directly grabbed the Storage Ring’s traits and mounted them onto his Supreme System Backend.
Back then, Xiao Xuan had not known that he could plunder things directly, so he had been thinking of destroying weapons first in order to make their traits drop.
Later, once he discovered that he could simply rip them away by force, he was left speechless.
He still had not fully explored all the ways his Scavenger Trait could be used.
This was not scavenging at all.
This was outright robbery.
