"To recreate the Heavenly Dao Resonance itself, this junior nephew may not be able to do that," Chu Ge said calmly.
"But allowing Martial Aunt to once again experience the insights of that day—that is not difficult."
His words were spoken in an even tone, yet when they fell into Shui Qianrou's ears, it was as though a massive stone had been hurled into a tranquil lake, sending countless ripples surging outward.
"W-What?!"
Shui Qianrou was violently startled and immediately looked at Chu Ge.
Her face was filled with disbelief, shock surfacing clearly upon her features as a brilliant light flared in her eyes.
Though they had only spent half a day together, the young man before her was clearly not the kind of frivolous person who spoke carelessly without reflection!
Meeting her gaze, Chu Ge nodded with confidence, and his next action did not disappoint her.
A ring radiating golden brilliance slowly condensed into shape above his palm.
During the Heavenly Dao Resonance that day, he had drawn innumerable strands of Dao-resonance qi into his body.
Aside from forging his supreme foundation and tempering the Myriad-Laws Dao-Manifestation Mirror, a portion of that pure qi had also condensed within him and could be used at his discretion.
However, with his Myriad-Laws Sacred Body and the Myriad-Laws Dao-Manifestation Mirror already within him, this Dao-resonance qi was of little use to him—it was almost redundant.
This ring was likewise a product formed from the fusion of Dao-resonance qi and his sacred-body origin. Yet compared to the Myriad-Laws Dao-Manifestation Mirror within Chu Ge, it was nothing more than the beggar's version of a beggar's version—utterly unworthy of mention.
But that was only in Chu Ge's eyes.
In the eyes of others, this ring—condensed by Chu Ge from Dao-resonance qi and sacred-body origin—was a true and unquestionable supreme treasure!
At this moment, Shui Qianrou could only stare wide-eyed. For a long while, she couldn't utter a single word.
The instant the ring took shape, she already understood what it had been formed from.
Dao-resonance qi so extremely condensed that it had taken on physical form—compared to what she had absorbed and comprehended that day, this was purer and dozens, even hundreds of times more immense!
With this object, it would be entirely possible to replicate what Chu Ge had said—to once again experience the Heavenly Dao Resonance.
Seeing that Shui Qianrou was still standing there dumbstruck, Chu Ge smiled gently.
"Martial Aunt, come—give me your hand."
Shui Qianrou was still immersed in her shock. Hearing his words, she only barely came back to her senses. Without thinking too much, she obediently raised her hand.
Chu Ge showed not the slightest restraint as he took hold of that slender, delicate hand. It was smooth to the touch, carrying a warm, gentle softness.
His thumb slowly traced over the fine, tender skin of her palm. This motion, faintly suggestive in intent, was naturally noticed by Shui Qianrou at once.
She recovered a bit more of her awareness. Feeling the warmth transmitting through her skin, she strangely did not resist. Instead, she allowed Chu Ge to act as he pleased.
'Have I truly gone mad… to actually let him do this…?'
A faint blush spread across her face as these thoughts passed through her mind.
She did not know why, but she felt not the slightest urge to resist.
This kind of gentle caress from a man—this was truly the first time in her life.
After savoring the sensation for a moment, Chu Ge glanced at Shui Qianrou's few fingers, as jade-like and slender as white crystal, and decisively hooked her middle finger.
By now, Shui Qianrou's cheeks were already flushed crimson, her eyes shimmering like autumn waters.
Seeing that Chu Ge had finally stopped those movements that had left her restless and feverish all over, she was at last able to steady her heart somewhat.
"You truly intend to give this object to me? Its value—you should understand it better than anyone."
Shui Qianrou's voice rang out softly.
The usefulness of this item to her was beyond all estimation!
But she also knew that the value of this ring was anything but ordinary!
