Chapter 16 - Chapter Sixteen: The Ring Recognizes Its Owner, and a Girl's Heart Secretly Pledges Its Way

  Mittel Auction House.

  Inside the room, Liu Yun and Ya Fei sat facing each other, chatting and laughing.

  Time passed quickly, and darkness slowly fell, filling the room with a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere.

  "Sister Ya Fei, extend your hand, I have a gift for you," Liu Yun said. "

  A

  gift?" Ya Fei was puzzled, but still extended her left hand.

  Liu Yun grasped Ya Fei's soft, boneless hand, his heart fluttering slightly. He took a deep breath, took out the Liu Yun Ring, and put it on Ya Fei's ring finger.

  At this moment, Ya Fei felt completely powerless. Liu Yun was shamelessly kneading her hand. Rationally, she wanted to resist, but her body seemed to be out of control, craving that tingling sensation.

  Ya Fei felt something was wrong with her; she felt no resistance to her cousin before her, and was even somewhat infatuated with his aura.

  Inside the room, Liu Yun helped her put the ring on her finger, but still didn't let go. He held up those beautiful hands, seemingly sculpted by God, and looking at the blush rising on Ya Fei's face, he was momentarily captivated, feeling a surge of lust rising within him, almost losing control.

  Ya Fei finally realized what was happening, her face flushed, and for the first time in her life, she lowered her head, slowly trying to pull her hand away.

  However, Liu Yun's large hand held it tightly, refusing to let go.

  "Sister Ya Fei, did you know? Actually, each of a person's five fingers has a corresponding name.

  This is the thumb, this is the index finger, this is the middle finger, this is the ring finger, and lastly, this is the little finger,"

  Liu Yun explained, looking directly at Ya Fei as he counted each finger.

  "Then why is this ring worn on the ring finger?" Ya Fei asked curiously, feeling that Liu Yun wouldn't say these things without a reason.

  "Because this ring also has another name; it's called the Liu Yun Ring," Liu Yun said.

  "This...?"

  Ya Fei's pretty face flushed red. At that moment, she understood everything. The meaning of the Flowing Cloud Ring on her ring finger couldn't be clearer.

  "Alright, stop joking."

  Ya Fei withdrew her hand, seemingly regaining her usual calm, her eyes shining with wisdom once more, as if she hadn't been affected at all.

  However, only Ya Fei knew that she was actually feeling very bad inside, empty and inexplicably hiding away to cry.

  She didn't know when it started, but she had developed different feelings for this person. Perhaps it was the moment they met, when she was attracted by his handsome face, or perhaps it was his words that day that touched her heartstrings. Ya Fei felt it couldn't be the former, because she was definitely not that superficial.

  Heaven knows what she had gone through in the days Liu Yun was away.

  She worried all day about whether her younger brother Liu Yun was in danger, whether he was hurt, and hoped every day that he would return soon. This made her very bad, often lost in thought, and filled with anxiety.

  Liu Yun was right in front of her, but she couldn't show how much she cared about him. He was her cousin, a genius with unparalleled talent, the future of the Mittel family, and those old guys would never agree to such a thing.

  Hearing Ya Fei's self-deprecating words and noticing the change in her expression, Liu Yun roughly understood something.

  Even if Ya Fei hid it well, the fact that the system had given them a "super high level of affection" relationship was enough to show that Ya Fei's feelings for him were definitely not just a simple cousin relationship.

  "Sister Ya Fei, what cousin? We're relatives from five generations ago, it doesn't matter anymore.

  Okay, since that's the case, let's continue being cousins.

  Once I break through to Dou Huang, I'll chat with those old guys in the clan." Liu Yun said helplessly, shaking his head.

  Before Ya Fei could reply, he walked around the table and left, not forgetting to say, "Sister Ya Fei, see you tomorrow!"

  Liu Yun knew that saying anything more at this point would be pointless, so he decisively left.

  Actually, ever since he first met Ya Fei, he had felt a strange sense of unease. Who wouldn't like such an older sister? Why let the good stuff go to outsiders? How could he let Xiao Yan flirt with his own cousin?

  Liu Yun walked out of the room, took a deep breath, and thought to himself, "Another wonderful night."

  Meanwhile, Ya Fei filled a tub with water and soaked in it, her mind replaying the earlier scene, unable to calm down for a long time.

  Especially Liu Yun's last explanation, which made Ya Fei feel a sense of clarity.

  "Yes, it's all because of our family's fifth-generation lineage. It's not a problem. In this world, strength reigns supreme; whoever has the bigger fist calls the shots. Liu Yun is right," Ya Fei murmured to herself.

  Emerging from the water, Ya Fei let out a long sigh, instantly feeling refreshed and in a better mood than ever before.

  "Brother Liu Yun, my cultivation talent is poor. Although I can't help you much in terms of strength, I will help you as much as I can in the areas I'm good at."

  Raising her left hand, Ya Fei looked at the ring on her ring finger that emitted a faint green light, a silly smile appearing on her face.

  Covering the Flowing Cloud Ring with her battle aura, Ya Fei was surprised to find that she couldn't probe its interior.

  This was very strange; a storage ring that couldn't reveal its inner space—what could be stranger?

  However, Ya Fei suddenly had a feeling that the Flowing Cloud Ring seemed to crave her blood. This feeling came inexplicably, making her wary.

  "This is a ring given to me by my brother Flowing Cloud; he shouldn't harm me," Ya Fei thought. Then, she decisively bit her finger, letting her blood drip onto the Flowing Cloud Ring.

  Sure enough, the drops of blood seeped into the Flowing Cloud Ring, and instantly, Ya Fei felt a close connection formed between herself and the ring.

  After the blood completely entered the Flowing Cloud Ring, the ring seemed to magically merge into her ring finger.

  This change completely stunned even the well-informed Ya Fei.

  However, the close connection remained; she just didn't know how to manipulate the Flowing Cloud Ring.

  Just as Ya Fei had this thought, she was surprised to find that she had inexplicably seen the inner space of the Flowing Cloud Ring. It was a large space, ten meters in length, width, and height, looking like a small plaza.

  Ya Fei's cherry-like mouth gaped open; she didn't know what words to use to describe it. Sure enough, this younger brother was really good to her, actually giving her such a treasure.

  You know, even a top-quality storage ring only has a few cubic meters of space inside, unlike the Flowing Cloud Ring, with an inner space of a thousand cubic meters! It would scare people to death if you told them! A

  happy smile appeared on Ya Fei's face. From now on, her ring finger would be famous!

  At the same time, Flowing Cloud, who had just lay down on the bed to go to sleep, heard the familiar system voice in his mind.

  "Ding, congratulations host, Ya Fei's favorability towards you has increased. The current relationship has risen from 'overwhelming favorability' to 'secretly in love'."

  Secretly in love: The return from the bound object has been increased by 20 times.
