Chapter 5403

Upon hearing Maria’s words, Violet furrowed his brows and subconsciously questioned, “How is this
possible… you must be lying to me.”

Violet shook his head and responded with seriousness and candor, “If I believed what you said, and
this ring can indeed transport people to others. However, when Gideon suddenly exploded earlier, my
thoughts were not of you… I thought of my deceased parents.”

As he spoke, Violet couldn’t help but mutter again, “It seems that in the end, my wife’s image flashed
through my mind. If what you said is true, then perhaps I was sent to see my wife by the ring…”

Maria pursed her lips and, with a touch of sadness, said, “Josef, I didn’t lie to you. I know that at the
moment of life and death, you wouldn’t have been thinking of me. However, this ring was passed down
to me by my father. Before he passed away, he desired to see me the most, so the ring was bestowed
upon me.”

Violet was dumbfounded upon hearing this. He hadn’t anticipated that the ring possessed such magical
properties!

After a brief pause, Maria continued, “My father left this ring to me, and later, in Northern Europe, I
gave this ring to you…” She changed the subject and added, “However, even though I gave it to you,
the ring still recognizes my father as its primary owner. So when you were in danger today, it sensed
that you were in peril, and it sent you to me, just as it had done with my father before.”

Violet remained speechless, his mind grappling to comprehend the situation.

After a while, he asked in puzzlement, “If what you say is true, then this ring is truly a lifesaving artifact.
Why did you give such a precious item to me?”



Maria chuckled wryly and replied, “The ring isn’t a perpetual energy device. It requires a significant
amount of reiki to instantaneously transport a living person across thousands of miles. Since I lack
reiki, wearing the ring serves no purpose.”

She looked at Violet once more and inquired, “Josef, I assume you infused the ring with a substantial
amount of reiki, right?”

Slightly displeased, Violet sighed, “So it drained my reiki in order to save me from danger one day…”

Suddenly, Violet thought of something and asked Maria hastily, “But weren’t you participating in military
training at Aurous Hill University? I remember telling you not to leave the campus these days. Why are
you here?”

Maria responded, “Two days ago, there was a thunderstorm in the suburbs. I sensed something
unusual and calculated that you might encounter a calamity. So I haven’t left the yard in these past two
days, and I haven’t allowed anyone to enter. I was afraid that you might suddenly appear while I was
sleeping in the bedroom with Claudia. How would I explain that to her? Could you erase her memory
again?”

The thought of potentially appearing naked in the female dormitory of Aurous Hill University made
Violet incredibly uncomfortable. He could only laugh awkwardly and express his gratitude, “So, you
calculated that I would face a catastrophe and might be sent to see you by this ring, which is why you
returned early and waited. I am truly grateful!”

Maria responded, “Josef, there’s no need for such courtesy.” She couldn’t help but speak shyly, “It’s just
that I calculated everything, but I never expected that you would show up while I was taking a bath…”
Violet recalled the incident and couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

Quickly changing the subject, he asked with suspicion, “By the way, if you lack reiki, why couldn’t I
erase your memory back in Northern Europe?”



Maria sighed softly and replied, “Ah… that’s the point. It has evolved.”

As she finished speaking, she noticed Violet’s dry lips and watched him swallow involuntarily. She
swiftly asked, “Josef, you must be thirsty, right?”

Violet nodded slightly.

Maria giggled and said, “It just so happens that I still have the last piece of Pu’er tea cake. I’ve been
saving it and waiting for the day when I could brew it myself for you to taste. Wait right here, Violet!”

She added, “Miss Clark, there’s no need to go through the trouble. Just pour me a glass of plain water!”

Maria stood up without looking back and said, “The tea cake I’ve kept is the finest Pu’er tea in the
world. The Yechen cake. If you don’t taste it, you will surely regret it in the future!”

Maria continued, “Besides, I’ll start explaining everything you’re curious about using that tea cake.”

Without waiting for Violet’s response, she hurriedly retrieved her complete tea set and the cherished
piece of Pu’er tea cake she had held onto for so long.

Returning to the bed, Maria carefully lit the olive charcoal in the copper stove, taking advantage of the
boiling water to break apart the aged Pu’er tea cake with a delicate Pu’er tea knife.

The moment the tea leaves were exposed, Violet caught a whiff of an extraordinary aroma he had
never experienced before.

This scent was incredibly rich and mellow, with the tea cake’s long period of fermentation and storage
imparting a simple and rustic essence that defied description. It was refreshingly invigorating.

Violet had observed his father drinking tea since childhood and occasionally shared a cup and a half
with him. Therefore, he possessed a fair amount of knowledge about tea. However, he had never



encountered such a unique tea. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this Pu’er tea cake outshone
all other Pu’er teas in its presence.

Gracefully, Maria prepared the tea by boiling the water. As soon as the tea leaves met the hot
temperature, they swiftly unfurled, releasing an even stronger tea aroma that reached Violet’s nostrils,
awakening his senses.

Subsequently, Maria poured the brewed tea into a small cup, offering Violet the clear tea soup with a
smile. “Josef, give it a try.”

Violet took the cup, lifted it to his nose for a light sniff, and took a sip. The taste of the tea was
incredibly rich and sweet, with a perfect harmony of aroma and flavor that widened Violet’s eyes in
astonishment.

He couldn’t help but sigh, “This tea is perfection itself, surpassing any knowledge I have of Pu’er tea.
May I ask, Miss Clark, where did you acquire such extraordinary tea?”

Maria smiled and replied, “Josef, this tea cake is crafted from the leaves of an ancient Pu’er tea tree
known as the Mother of Pu’er Tea, dating back three hundred years. It is the progenitor of all Pu’er teas
in the world. Every Pu’er tea on the market stems from it. In the past, tea farmers broke off its branches
and transplanted them to different regions, giving rise to the later popularity of Pu’er tea throughout the
country.”

Violet exclaimed, “So this tea truly possesses a century-old history?”

Maria nodded, “Absolutely true. However, three hundred years ago, the tree was struck by lightning
and turned to charcoal. The tea you’re drinking now is the last tea cake it produced in its final year.
After this tea, the world will no longer experience its unique flavor.”



Curiosity piqued, Violet asked, “Did the tea seller inform you of this story?”

Maria gently shook her head and, turning around, carefully retrieved a small package. She opened it,
revealing a piece of ancient lightning-struck wood.

Maria took out the lightning-struck wood and spoke softly, “Everything that lives for a long time has its
own destiny, and cultivators are no exception. This tree had lived for tens of thousands of years, giving
birth to countless tea plants. But it, too, had to face its own tribulations. This is what it looks like after it
failed.”

Violet questioned with suspicion, “How do you know all this so clearly?”

Maria glanced at Josef, then looked down at the lightning-struck wood in her hands, as if it was
struggling. After a moment, she raised her head, meeting Violet’s gaze with her clear eyes. Her lips
parted slightly as she spoke, “Because… three hundred years ago, my family resided by Heaven Lake
in the southern province, and I witnessed it with my own eyes as it suffered this tragedy…”
