Chapter 25
Despite secretly chastising Si Mobai for his weird request, Feng Tianlan nevertheless switched the bottle from her right hand to her left and held it out to him . Si Mobai stared intently at her rough palm and frowned a little . He stretched out his left hand and grabbed her wrist . Feng Tianlan thought he was frivolous . How could he grab her hand directly when she only wanted to return his porcelain bottle? She tried to move but was pinned in place by overwhelming pressure . She glared at him and could not move .
Feng Tianlan felt something chilly slide along her left index finger then tighten at the base . It was like something had taken root on her hand . She looked down and saw a semi heart-shaped ring, like the one he was wearing on his right hand .
“You…”
Feng Tianlan was stunned . Doesn’t he hate women? What’s the meaning of this? First, he grabbed her hand, then he gifted her a semi heart-shaped ring that formed a whole heart when put together?
“A token of marriage . ”
“What?” blurted out an astonished Feng Tianlan .
Wasn’t her marriage token with the Emperor? Also, she was betrothed to Si Rong, the Third Prince . How could it be the Wargod? What’s more, this ring was different from the token of marriage she remembered .
“Si’s son and Feng’s daughter are destined to love for three lifetimes . I’m back . You’ve waited for so long!” Si Mobai caressed the ring with his slender fingers .
“…”
Feng Tianlan was speechless . His words were too bizarre to understand . In any case, he was still a stranger . The silver crystal was too mysterious and rare . It was something she dared not yearn for, let alone own . Feng Tianlan tried to slide the ring off, only to realize that it had merged with her index finger . There was no way to remove it . She remembered that when Si Mobai had first put it on, the ring had automatically shrunk to fit .

“Lord Wargod…”
“I’ll wait till you’re all grown-up . ”
He cut her off before she could finish, and she was more bewildered than ever . When he turned to leave, the sleeve with a missing corner fluttered in the wind . Just like that, Si Mobai faded into the distance like an immortal slowly drifting away .
“…”
Feng Tianlan looked at the empty courtyard lit only by the dim moon . She looked down at the ring on her left finger and the porcelain bottle and thought about what Si Mobai had said . She was utterly baffled . Si Mobai’s bewildering behavior left Feng Tianlan full of doubt . However, he was long gone . Even if she wanted to clarify with him, she couldn’t . Also, didn’t he say that he was going to wait until she was all grown-up? She was already fifteen and had come of age . She was already a grown-up .
Coming of age…Feng Tianlan suddenly remembered that today was her birthday, and also the day of her coming of age ceremony!
Feng Tianlan sat by the bed, guarding Chuling . She raised her hand and looked at the ring on her left hand . She tried to understand what was going on in Si Mobai’s head, from when they’d met in the battle ring up until the moment he left . No matter how much she racked her brain, she could not make sense of his actions . She gave up and decided to ask him in the future when she had a chance .
With her legs crossed in meditation, she allowed her consciousness to sink into her Cinnabar field . She could see elements of all kinds running around chaotic and jumbled up, blocking veins and muddying her Cinnabar field, which was supposed to be jade-like . An unparalleled genius in cultivation reduced to a good-for-nothing, simply because she had no one to guide her . It was a great pity and a colossal waste of talent .

Feng Tianlan used her cultivation training from her previous life and dispelled all elements, except fire . Her body felt lighter at once, so she wasted no time leveling up her cultivation . Two hours later, she had shooed away all the fire element strands in her body into her Cinnabar field . Soon, the Cinnabar field, which was once black as stone, began to glow a fiery red, like a bright ruby filled with power .
She had been promoted to a First-stage Spiritualist from a Level 6 Gathering Spirit!
Before Feng Tianlan could open her eyes, from the depths of her Cinnabar field, she heard someone call out, “Master!”
