Chapter 154: Sharing The Loot.
Hao Ren and Han Lingshi sat in each others embrace. They did not talk to each other, but only accompanied each other in silence. For Hao Ren it was a surreal experience to go through something like this. Han Lingshi enjoyed silence, while he was the opposite.
After half an hour, Hao Ren said, "Lingshi, I have a few surprises for you."
The lady replied, "I have a surprise for you too."
Hao Ren was surprised but then he recollected himself and asked, "Well, I will show mine first."
Han Lingshi nodded and Hao Ren asked, "So, if you can have a spatial ring, how would you like it to be?"
After some thought, she said, "I would like to have a simple ring that does not seem too conspicuous."
Hao Ren shook his head and said, "You are forgetting your identity. If you wear something that looks like a bit too cheap, it will draw attention. Well, give me your hand."
Han Lingshi nodded and extended her hand. She did not have any doubt in her heart. Hao Ren took off the jade ring on her hand and thought in his mind, "System, can you augment this ring with spatial attribute?"

The next moment, the ring began to glow with a bright glow and Han Lingshi was surprised. A few minutes later, when the glow receded, Hao Ren put the ring back on her finger and said, "You would need to smear a drop of your blood to complete refine this ring as your property."
He took out a golden needle out of nowhere. Han Lingshi was surprised, and opened her eyes wide. Hao Ren said, "I found a technique that allowed me to augment two objects with spatial abilities. So, I thought about our proposal rings."
Han Lingshi was still in a daze, when Hao Ren pricked the tip of her finger gently and told her to make the contract with the ring. Han Lingshi spent the next few minutes learning how to use the ring.
Han Lingshi suddenly recalled something and asked, "I remember wishing to have a ring like this. All this is too coincidental. Ren, tell me the truth."
Hao Ren could not reveal that he had a system. So, he thought of something and took off his coat and shirt. Han Lingshi was stunned but then she saw a green snake tattoo running along his arm and Hao Ren said, "In the forest of Chama, I met a race of spiritual beings called the Nagas. There princess asked for my help and in exchange, she made a blood pact of alliance with me.
In return for helping her, I got a lot of things, and I asked her to give me things that compliment each other."
Then he took out two swords that looked identical, but had slight differences. He said, "These swords are a pair and can sense each others existence. So, we can locate each other using these even if we are millions of miles away."
Then he took out a set of armors. He said, "These are Naga Armors, made from the scales they shed every year, they can even block bullets, and the best part is..."
Hao Ren picked up a wrist guard, and scales spread over his forearm. The scales looked very nice and delicate, but as Hao Ren shook his arm, and the scales disappeared. He said, "They vanish as if they do not exist at all. The best part is the concealment effect they have."
Han Lingshi stood up from her seat and looked at Hao Ren with surprise. She said, "This seems very valuable."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Well, it still cannot compare with the value of what I have done for them."
Han Lingshi asked curiously, "What did you do?"
The young man smiled and said dramatically, "I, your husband, the mighty Hao Ren, has liberated the sealed souls of there elders."
Han Lingshi rolled her eyes at the first half and said, "Although I want to praise you, but you exaggerate it so much."
Hao Ren sighed and said, "I swear to god, you were almost widowed by those traps."
Then he began to tell her about what happened inside the pyramid, and lastly, he took out a bottle of wine and said, "This is Naga wine. One shot of it, and your eyes will awaken the Yin and Yang sight."
Han Lingshi asked, "What is this ability?"
She did not know about it, and then Hao Ren gave her brief detail of the skill. Han Lingshi was surprised to learn such a miraculous skill. Hao Ren said, "After you drink two shots, it can awaken the danger perception skill. However, for that, you would need to wait till you are in the foundation establishment realm. Don't tell old boy Hao about this wine, he might betray his virtue for this wine."
Han Lingshi nodded, and said, "Then when can I try it?"
Hao Ren replied, "When we get home, I have no idea how it might effect us."
The young lady nodded and said, "We will get home and then I will give you my surprise."
Hao Ren smiled and then kept their weapons and armors and the young man reminded her to use the drop of blood to establish connection with the artifacts or someone might loot them. After it was confirmed, Han Lingshi helped Hao Ren sort out his clothes and then suddenly she looked at the figure of the dragon and the phoenix.
Hao Ren said, "Well, I carved this as a piece of decoration in your office. This place is very minimalist."
Han Lingshi clicked a picture of the figure and then posted it on her social media, Peek, with a caption, "When your husband spends a week away and comes back with a gift. Blessed to have the best husband in the world, @PrezHao."
Hao Ren smiled, it was the first time, Han Lingshi posted something like this online on her own initiative. The two left the office holding hands with smiles on their faces and everyone who saw them could not help but wish them well.
