Chapter 100 Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 100 Two Worlds Apart

It didn't even take a few minutes for Vanessa to officially change the owner of the Dimension Ring.

Of course, the process was filled with a clear resentful glare directed at him constantly.

But that didn't affect Shi Tian whatsoever.

She was resentful, angry, frustrated, and more, but there was nothing else she could truly do aside from having such emotion. The oath they made had guaranteed his safety and that she was not allowed to harm him maliciously.

Once Shi Tian confirmed that he now had access and permission to the Dimension Ring, he was pleased with how easy it was to swindle her.

What he did could be considered immoral and taking advantage of others in times of trouble, but that was just how life was.

She could only blame herself for being so careless in getting herself into such a scenario. It wasn't him that had asked her to assist him in cleaning the storage room, but it was solely herself for wanting to help.

Just because someone offered kindness doesn't mean the other party must repay it back with kindness.

"Are you done stalling for the time now?" Vanessa grudgingly asked when she saw Shi Tian standing in a daze, his hand continuously playing with the ring he scammed from her.

Shi Tian snapped out of his daze and placed the ring on his left middle finger- the same position that she placed previously.

"Right, you can strip yourself naked, so we can begin. Also, a gentle reminder to burn the clothes you're wearing now and the previous clothes as well. Since it had the scent of the mutated dust mites, then it might attract some more if you're that unlucky." He then said nonchalantly.

"I don't need your hypocrisy advice." Vanessa snorted, but still stripped herself naked and burned the clothes with her magic.

As for being naked, she was too furious to even care about being seen by him. After all, it wasn't like he hadn't seen most of her body previously when she was severely injured.

With her delicate body completely exposed, Shi Tian was composed and began to scoop out the remaining mutated dust mites from her body.

Not an ounce of lust could be seen in his eyes as he wasn't that low enough to use this as an opportunity to look at her naked body. The benefit was the Dimension Ring and it was obtained already.

Since she honored her end of the deal, then he shall do the same without any funny action.

A few minutes later, Shi Tian finished scooping out all the mutated dust mites and made sure to give her body a thorough check, including all of her supposed forbidden areas.

Naturally, Vanessa's face had long turned red from embarrassment and shyness despite still being somewhat angry. Being glanced at so intensely, anyone would feel such emotion wavering in their brain.

The only saving grace was that Shi Tian was merely checking if any mutated dust mites were hiding and not because he wanted to see more of her body.

"Alright, that should be everything, but I still need to ask if you feel any itchiness anywhere else. If so, then I will check again and see." Shi Tian closed the glass bottle once again and asked solemnly.

Vanessa also wasn't stupid to lie about her condition just so she could avoid being exposed any longer.

She waited a bit longer and felt that all the itchiness that she was getting had vanished. "I think that's it. I don't feel any more itchiness."

Shi Tian nodded his head.

"Very well then, you can dress in some new clothes."

"My clothes are all in the ring…" She covered her chest and clamped her legs while pointing at the Dimension Ring on his left finger.

"Oh, I see, goodbye then." Shi Tian yawned and teased.

Though before Vanessa could throw a fit, Shi Tian had taken out all of her clothes and placed them on the table.

As for the other items within the ring, that was his property now. Ain't no way would he be stupid enough to give them back to her. It was her fault for leaving the content in the ring before changing ownership.

A few seconds later, Vanessa swiftly put on some random clothes that her hand reached first on the table.

And she didn't show any more anger on her face and instead glanced at Shi Tian pathetically. She was beyond disappointed in him and no longer wished to have any interaction with him further.

"Once my reinforcement arrives, I will leave and I wish to never see you again." She said in the calmest tone possible. After saying that, she went back to the guest room and closed the door, not bothering to speak anything else to him.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian merely stood in place and glanced at the door that she had shut.

'Hopefully, with this incident, you could be more cautious of your surroundings and never believe people easily. Your carefreeness and attitude toward people need to be changed, so consider that my favor returned.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly.

With such a harsh lesson impacting her, Shi Tian doubted she would dare to trust a stranger that easily in the future.

It was true that he wanted the Dimension Ring, but at the same time, he wished to teach her a valuable lesson on how to survive in such a cruel world.

To survive, one must be ruthless, deceitful, and shrewd toward others.

Vanessa lacked in all of these aspects, especially in terms of shrewdness and deceitfulness.

When they first met, she had bluffed him, but afterward, she had failed to continue the act and managed to self-expose herself after he bluffed her a little bit about knowing the truth. This goes to show that she was not prone to being a shrewd and deceitful person.

In fact, she was more naive and honest, willingly giving out information that should have been deemed confidential to him so readily.

Didn't she know that valuable information is even more important than brute force?

'We belong to two different worlds.' Shi Tian thought to himself, shaking his head.
