Chapter 737: Advance by Retreating
the speed and strength of her attacks gradually increased, putting away her previous disdain.Ripples unsheathed her sword to meet the opponent's attack. She also sensed a change in the other party's...R ripples took off the water droplet pendant hanging from her neck, sensed it with her mental power, and said directly:
“This space holds one hundred cubic meters, at most it could be considered a portable medicine garden.”
"Well, this is definitely no match for the space bound to your soul."
"Since that's the case, please restrict access to this space. Only Mu Mianmian can enter for three months. After three months, close off the space and prevent her from accessing anything inside. I want to see how she wriggles out of this."
Liàn Yī mí le mí yǎn jiào dào.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
"Or did you, Ripples, go too far You gave her hope, let her bask in it for a while. Only when she loses it will she truly become unhinged."
The stone mill clicked its teeth in disapproval.
"Time is of the essence, can you do it"
Ripple didn't want to waste time and asked directly.
"No problem, you can start by drawing blood to bind this with your own space. I will link this space to yours and just give the carrier to her. She'll only have temporary access, for three months. After that, the pendant will shatter, and the space inside will completely merge with your own. It will be seamless, she'll just think the pendant is damaged and can no longer be used."
The millstone immediately said.
A ripple immediately slashed across her finger, squeezing out a drop of blood that was smeared onto the teardrop pendant. The bloodstain was quickly absorbed, and she could see the size of the space, but it was empty right now.
The millstone, after clicking rapidly on its transparent surface for a moment, responded:
"Ripple, I've already made the connection."
Thank you! What was the original's wish
The original's desires had three points: first, to not be robbed of the golden finger; second, to seek revenge on Dong Zicheng and Mu Mianmian; third, to protect their benefactor Yuan Chongming and the child Tan Jiayao.
The stone mill immediately said.
"It's no big deal, you tell the original that after I handle these things, she can take care of the rest of her days."
Such a level of task wasn't difficult for her, it just took time. After solving these problems, she hoped the original person could finish the rest on their own.
"Okay, I'll let her know."
The moment the two cut off contact, Lian Ri heard Wei Zi's voice, and it seemed there was another girl's voice as well.
"Ripple, I have some small bread here, let me lend you some first."
After finishing, a hand reached out from under the bathroom door, holding a sanitary pad.
Thank you!
After ripples thanked him, he took the object and threw it directly into the trash can. Then, he rushed to the toilet and walked out of the cubicle. Two people were standing opposite him. Besides Wei Zi, the other was today's protagonist, Mu Mianmian.
Wei Zi blinked at the ripples, while Mu Mianmian seemed to glance casually at the pendant on Ripples' neck before softly saying:
"Ripples, I didn't know you weren't feeling well today. I already asked the waiter to make some ginger tea for you. Come sit with me for a while, after we blow out the candles and have cake, I'll ask my senior to send you home."
"I don't know if anything good will happen to me today, maybe it's just that I'm embarrassed, let's go!"
Liàn Yī smiled faintly, walked over and took Wei Zǐ's arm, then squeezed the other person's arm, signaling that she already had a plan.
After the three left the restroom, they saw Dong Ziqing talking to Sun Peng. They were obviously waiting for them.
"Let's go! I've been waiting for you guys for ages!"
One person walked back to the private room along the original path, but this time Lianyi deliberately lagged two steps behind. She saw Mu Mianmian winking at Dong Zicheng, and then Dong Zicheng called out to Lianyi.
"Senior, is there something"
"Ripple, I'm sorry to bother you, could I have a word with you privately"
Okay.
Ripples gave Wei Zi a reassuring glance, then walked to the corner with Dong Zicheng.
Dong Ziqing was tall and fair, standing at 1.8 meters, the type of creamy boy next door. His features weren't particularly striking individually, but when put together, they were very pleasing to the eye. He had completely captivated his original self, leading him to such a tragic end.
At this point, the other party pretended to be shy and embarrassed as they said:
"Ripple, I know this is a bit forward of me, but could you do me a favor"
"Senior, you're too polite. What can I do for you Just tell me, and if I can help, I will definitely help."
"Well, Mu Xiaomei has seen you before and really liked your water drop pendant. For her birthday, I bought one exactly like it. Unfortunately, someone bumped into me just now, and it fell to the ground and broke."
Having said that, as if to confirm his words, he took out a small box from his pocket. Opening it, there lay a teardrop-shaped pendant, only it was already broken into two pieces.
"I don't want to disappoint her, so would it be possible to borrow your necklace for a bit I could use it as a temporary gift until tomorrow when I buy a new one and return yours. I hope you can help me out with this, please!"
Dong Zijing clasped his hands together and said.
"I thought it was something big deal, it's just a pendant! Since Mu Mianmian likes it, consider it as a gift you bought for her. You don't need to return it to me, just transfer 10,000 yuan to me."
Ripples said very generously.
"Ten thousand"
"Well, I bought this at the counter, it originally cost over 20,000, but I've worn it. You're my senior, so even if you offer me 10,000, would you consider it"
"Alright, you've solved my urgent problem. Just wait a moment, I'll go get my phone and transfer the money to you."
Dǒng Zǐqīng gritted her teeth and said.
"Okay, I'll be waiting here for you. Don't let Mu Xuejie see us, or she'll be unhappy."
Ripple gently instructed.
She believes Mu Mianmian would definitely be willing to spend money to buy the pendant back.
As expected, three minutes later, Dong Zicheng came out with his phone and immediately transferred 10,000 yuan to Lianyi. After seeing the money arrive, Lianyi happily took off the pendant and handed it to Dong Zicheng.
Back in the private room, candles were already lit and they had started singing happy birthday. In the darkness, Wei Zi pulled Ripples' hand, and Ripples responded by holding on tight, reassuring her.
Mu Mianmian beamed with a smile. After singing the birthday song and making a wish, she blew out the candles and then began cutting the cake amidst cheers from the crowd. Dong Zicheng took this opportunity to slip a gift into Mu Mianmian's hand.
After opening the box, Mu Mianmian saw the pendant she had been longing for. She smiled with joy and asked Dong Zicheng to put it on her neck right away.
While Wei Zi spoke in a low voice:
"Ripples, how could you still give it to him"
"It's not a gift, it's a purchase. He spent ten thousand yuan to buy it from me. I only paid eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan for that pendant when I bought it. It was taken down during the jade shop's processing, so I didn't lose money!"
Ripples said with a hint of pride.
"That's about right."
Upon hearing the ripple's words, Wei Zi's expression finally improved a little.
He wants to chase Mu Mianmian, so he must have some sincerity! And I can tell that if you don't give him things, he definitely won't give up. Since he wants to be a licking dog, then he has to bleed!
Ripple said coldly.
"Well now! You've come to your senses, haven't you"
Wei Zi was very curious about the changes in Lian Yi.
"It wasn't an epiphany, but rather an observation over a night. I saw that the two of them were deeply in love. I wouldn't be the one to destroy their relationship."gs back home, while Lianyi went directly to the village head's house for a visit.Wen Wu saw Ming Ge'er and Yue Yue returning in a carriage, so he quickly walked out of the house and said to Wen Zhao M...
