Lin Shuang: It's a Misunderstanding

Lin Shuang and Acheron rested for a while in silence.

After Lin Shuang's complexion improved, Acheron spoke again:

"Continue?"

"Well…"

Lin Shuang was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, she nodded and agreed to Acheron's proposal.

Then Lin Shuang was beaten again.

And once again, she was addicted to the power of Nihility, unable to extricate herself.

This time, Acheron not only stared at Lin Shuang's condition.

She also took off the glove on her left hand.

…

Not long after, Lin Shuang's ring flashed again, allowing Lin Shuang to get rid of the power of Nihility.

If it happened just once, it could be said to be a coincidence. However, judging from her own situation and the two times that Lin Shuang got rid of the influence of Nihility, they were both accompanied by the flashing of the ring.

This allowed Acheron to initially determine that the ring Lin Shuang gave her might have some kind of strange power.

Acheron also tried it herself just now and found that the ring on her hand also produced the same effect.

This force can really fight against Nihility.

Acheron, who reached this conclusion, had even her eyes, which should have been as calm as the abyss, begin trembling slightly.

As for Lin Shuang, who had woken up.

At this moment, she felt that something was wrong with her condition. Twice in a row, when she was about to fall, she was able to break free suddenly. Although this ability may not be obvious, it could save lives at critical moments.

"Lin Shuang, how did you feel just now?"

"It was just like before. I felt a few flashes of light, and then I suddenly woke up."

"Just now, before you got rid of the influence of Nihility, your ring reacted."

"…It's just a coincidence..."

"Yeah?"

When Lin Shuang answered, she naturally noticed Acheron's gaze on the ring.

Could it be that Acheron really thought that the ring played some role?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

After all, when the system gave it out, it said that this pair of rings was really just an ordinary thing.

Even if there was a connection, Lin Shuang would rather believe that this ring was simply showing special effects.

But there were other things that were really making a difference.

For example, the Herrscher Core.

Anyway, she already had a glowing big sword toy, so why would she need a small ring toy like this?

At least Lin Shuang didn't think this ring had any other use.

In addition to being able to adapt to the size of fingers, she had no extra expectations for it. She might as well hope that Acheron would be more lenient when training her.

Just looking at Acheron's attitude, even she began to feel that the ceremony she performed and the ring given to her at the end carried some power.

And she deliberately mentioned 'Nihility.'

Could it be that she still thought that her sense of taste had been restored because of her?

This gave Lin Shuang a headache.

She already felt guilty about tricking Acheron into marrying her, and she even cursed herself when she woke up in the middle of the night.

If Acheron still believed that the changes in her were due to their extremely simple wedding ceremony and the pair of rings…

That was too naïve…

If she accepted this kind of favor, she would slap herself twice every time she woke up in the middle of the night.

Considering that Acheron would be online soon in the plot, it was hard to say what changes might happen during this period of time.

"That's right. If the ring has any other abilities, I will definitely tell you. After all, this ritual only works with me. And the ring is just a symbol, even in the ritual."

Lin Shuang, who always felt guilty, looked at Acheron, who was sitting beside her and touching her ring finger in silence, and couldn't help but explain a little more.

However, Acheron just raised her eyes and smiled gently.

She stared into Lin Shuang's eyes, her purple pupils like melted ice, showing a strange charm.

"Yes, I know."

"…"

What do you know?!

Lin Shuang pursed her lips, speechless for a moment.

She really wanted to explain to Acheron that the ring she gave her was really just an ordinary ring. The system that gave it to her said so, so how could it be wrong?

Even the rewards for her novice tasks had been downgraded. Could the system be hiding good things from her?

But now she was looking into Acheron's eyes.

She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the cold Acheron from the game. She thought the person sitting opposite her was Mei.

Broken.

Lin Shuang began to feel that the more she explained the current situation, the more it seemed like she was making excuses.

Why did Acheron focus on this pair of rings? Was it just because of two flashes of light?

This was inexplicable. The key was that she couldn't verify it. She couldn't see the ring glowing, and she didn't feel any other power appearing. All of this was only because of what Acheron had said. Just based on that, it was difficult for Lin Shuang to accept such favors with peace of mind.

So naturally Lin Shuang still maintained a neutral attitude.

However, Acheron chose to obey and stopped arguing.

In her opinion, perhaps this was also Lin Shuang's awkward way of showing goodwill.

Was she not being frank, or was she worried that others would not want to accept it after they knew about it?

What could this ring and this ritual mean?

Acheron couldn't help but wonder whether she should separate from Lin Shuang after coming into contact with the Stellaron.

She became more and more conflicted.

There was something special about the rings.

At least Acheron could be sure of this now.

But what the limit was, whether it could be depleted, whether it needed to be recharged, etc., was still unknown.

But even if there was a time limit, Acheron was already very satisfied.

She never thought that she would encounter such a surprise during her usual travels.

There had been a few times when such emotions surged unexpectedly.

Acheron calmed herself down a little embarrassedly, and then started thinking about Lin Shuang's matter.

The method of using the power of her Path to train Lin Shuang was basically half-wasted.

After all, every time she was about to fall, she would be pulled back in one breath. Without the tempering brought by the negative state, the effect would definitely be discounted.

But on the other hand… if even the power of Nihility could be resisted, then perhaps the temptation of the Stellaron could also be resisted?

She wasn't sure, but she could still look forward to it.

And before that.

Acheron took out her cell phone.

It had been a long time since she had memories she wanted to keep and a person she didn't want to forget.

Acheron, who had long been accustomed to ignoring various record-keeping devices, once again had the idea of using video and photos to record.

…

While Acheron was thinking, Lin Shuang was also in a dilemma.

She didn't know why Acheron had fallen into this vicious cycle, and Lin Shuang didn't like this kind of favorability that seemed like deception.

Maybe she should have contacted the Stellaron as soon as possible and left the planet alone.

She couldn't keep deceiving her.

After being apart for a while, maybe Acheron would come to her senses and realize that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Shuang.

After all, Acheron was no longer young, and perhaps because of Nihility, this incident had inevitably been a little exciting.

But once her emotions gradually calmed down, maybe she would be able to figure it out.

Acheron was a person who appeared cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She seemed icy and didn't talk much, but in fact, she was very gentle, beautiful, and strong.

Who wouldn't like her?

In addition, Acheron had helped her a lot along the way.

Lin Shuang didn't want their relationship to be built on this kind of goodwill built on possible misunderstandings.

The marriage she had tricked her into was nothing more than a formality to fleece the system.

Lin Shuang did not intend to reveal its meaning. As long as Acheron didn't know, it would just be that, a formality.
