Chapter 112 Universe

Seeing this, Sect Master Jiang could only force a smile out of his face as he said, "Alright. Since you have decided. Then… here…." He waved his hand and produced two golden rings. "My gift." He had made this ring four hundred years ago. Of course, he was not planning to let Fang Yu know about this matter. "This ring… will connect your life force with each other. Once one of you die, the ring will break. Once you wear it… you will feel a small thread that would connect you two. No need for words. You are now considered married." He said before glaring at Mo Li. "After this competition… I would expect that you will give my disciple a grand celebration."
Mo Li nodded, smiling as he put the ring on the ring finger of his left hand. He then waited for Fang Yu to do the same. As someone who was an expert with talismans and magic treasures, Mo Li knew that a ring like this needed a lot of time to make. This is a very powerful artifact that the Sect Master made for his disciple.
Fang Yu on the other hand just stared at the ring for a few seconds. She could feel her heart drummed against her chest. But wasn't this just a ring? What's with this reaction? Fang Yu shook her head and put the ring. Almost immediately she felt a cold sensation spread from the ring to her left arm then to her chest. She felt her heart raced before the chill enveloped her heart, calming it down.
In this world, wedding ceremonies involve Qi and Magic. It is a ceremony that would joined two souls together. Once one of them remove this ring, it would not only automatically remove the connection, it would also damage their own souls. However, removing this ring is not that easy. The only one who could remove the ring is the owner themselves and they could only do this if they use a drop of their own blood that was taken willingly from their own body.
This ceremony was of course, only for the main wives. Concubines have their own ceremonies and it was not as binding as the one that the main wife would undergo with her husband.
"Now…if you think of taking another wife…" the Sect Master's gaze turned stern. "Hah… you can run. So you better run as far as possible." He narrowed his eyes at Mo Li.
"Master…" Fang Yu uttered. In this world, having a concubine was pretty normal. "If… he chose to have another woman. I don't think we can stop that, right?" she gave a brilliant smile to Mo Li. "If you want to leave. Make sure to leave the ring behind as it contains some essence of my soul."
Seeing this Mo Li nodded but said nothing. He had lived for thousands of years. If he really wanted to leave… he could. If he really wanted to hide… he could and not even the most powerful person in this continent would be able to find him. But he won't do any of that.
He stared at Fang Yu's face as she started talking to her master about what happened the other night. He had sense something different in the woman's soul, something deep and mysterious. And how could he resist a mystery that involves the universe?
"So… you already know that it was because of my space magic?" Fang Yu asked her master. Was this the reason why he never agreed to marry her off? In her memories, Xiawen Dong started proposing for marriage three hundred years ago. At that time, Xiawen Dong only have one concubine and was willing to send her off in a far place once Fang Yu agree to marry him.
However, Sect Master Jiang never agreed to this proposal of course, it was also because of Fang Yu's refusal.
"Yes. Now…. Now that you are already married, you will start to see the changes in your ability. Mo Li will see it too. You two better be careful and stay inside the sect as much as possible. Since the Frozen Wraith showed interest in your space magic, they must be planning to summoned something from out of this world. Or perhaps create a path, an array that would enable them to enter and leave those dimensions as much as they wanted to." The Sect Master's face turned serious. "This could mean that those people are colluding with other races and there might be a war soon."
"Sect Master…"
"There is no need to worry about this now. Just finish the competition and go back to the Sect. Then both of you can go into seclusion and breakthrough. Once a war broke out, we will need as much strength as we can to survive." The Sect Master said. "Now… I will not stay much longer. You two just got married after all." Without waiting for them to answer, the old man already vanished in front of them.
The two eyed each other. It seems that the possibility of a war changed the Sect Master's mood.
"What? Stop staring at me like that!" Fang Yu said. One moment, he was an arm length away, the next moment, he was already standing in front of her. She raised her head, surprised at his sudden movement. "It's daytime." How embarrassing. Even Fang Yu silently scolded herself. What was that supposed to mean? Its daytime!?
"I know." He lowered his head, looking straight into her eyes. The woman's head only reached his chest. She was small, cute yet beautiful. However, in her eyes something mysterious lingered, quickly disappearing the moment he stared into her orbs. What was it? Just who was this woman?
Seeing this scrutinizing gaze, Fang Yu took a step back. 'Robot… did this man… sense you when I wore the ring?' that should be impossible right?
[Bee have no way of knowing.]
Fang Yu silently gritted her teeth. This robot is really… "I think we should go out of the tent." She immediately suggested. Quickly regretting her words when a smile slithered on his handsome face.
"And go where?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Did he just saw fear flashed in her eyes? Did she fear him? Or the possibility of him knowing who she really was? Mo Li smiled. He couldn't wait to find out the answer to his question.
