Soon the waiter brought over the food that Dongfang Yang and the other two had ordered, and Ai Tutu was the first to pick up a chicken leg and start eating it.

Mu Nujiao wasn't one to hesitate, so once she decided to give it a try, she picked up her barbecue and started eating.

When Mu Nujiao took a bite of the barbecue, her eyes lit up; it tasted pretty good.

It wasn't that Mu Nujiao usually ate bad food, but rather that it was her first time eating barbecue, and she found it very novel.

Seeing that Mu Nujiao was gradually starting to eat more, Dongfang Yang also began to eat his own food.

Hmm, it tastes good. I'll come here often.

After eating for a while, Ai Tutu looked at the remaining barbecue on her plate and said somewhat embarrassedly to Dongfang Yang:

"Dongfang Yang, I think I ordered too much."

Just as Mu Nujiao was about to speak up for Ai Tutu, Dongfang Yang responded first.

"It's nothing, I'll take it back and put it as a late-night snack later, so it won't be a waste."

It's a waste to leave food untouched, especially since the leftovers are untouched, not the kind that's been partially eaten.

It would be inappropriate to have Ai Tutu pack it up and take it back.

Upon hearing Dongfang Yang's words, Ai Tutu blushed immediately.

At this moment, Ai Tutu was thinking to herself, "Dongfang Yang ate my leftovers. Does he have feelings for me? Should I refuse him? How many children should I have in the future? What should I name my first child?"

At this moment, Dongfang Yang looked at Ai Tutu's blushing and dazed expression, and a look of doubt appeared on his face.

Mu Nujiao gently nudged Ai Tutu, who turned to Mu Nujiao and asked, "Sister Mu, why did you poke me? I was just thinking about naming my child."

Before Ai Tutu could finish speaking, she suddenly realized what she had just been doing and felt embarrassed.

"Ahem, I'm thinking of naming my older brother's future child. Yeah, that's it. Don't overthink it."

At this moment, Mu Nujiao, who was unaware of Ai Tutu's thoughts, looked at Ai Tutu with a strange feeling.

At this moment, Dongfang Yang spoke up to defuse the situation: "Have some drinks. This brand of beverage is quite good; we guys call it Guojiao (a famous Chinese liquor)."

……

After dinner, Dongfang Yang took Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu to the school gate. After they entered the school, Dongfang Yang returned to his bedroom in the school district.

Placing a slave-level undead crystal from his pocket on the table, Dongfang Yang sat on the bed and took out the gray-black ring he had bought for 50,000 yuan.

The material of this gray-black ring is indiscernible. Its surface is smooth and rounded, without any patterns, decorations, or inlays. It feels cool to the touch.

Dongfang Yang couldn't tell what it was, but he wanted it the moment he saw it and found it pleasing to the eye.

"Is this thing a magical artifact?" Dongfang Yang wondered to himself.

After thinking for a moment, Dongfang Yang, following the natural practice of using magical tools and artifacts, released his mental energy to touch the gray-black ring, successfully leaving his mental imprint on it.

Dongfang Yang pondered, "The fact that it can leave a soul imprint means that this ring is a magical artifact or tool, but it doesn't react at all, and I haven't been able to detect anything."

"Is this because the demonic artifact is too powerful, and my cultivation level is too low to use it?"

"Or is it that this magical artifact has special abilities, only reacting during cultivation, making it a special cultivation magical artifact?"

Or perhaps this magical artifact is an aid in controlling the magical artifact?

Is it a mind-controlling magic artifact that can resist mental attacks?

It is an energy storage device that can store magical energy and restore it when needed.

It is a defensive magical artifact that is passively triggered when the holder is attacked, releasing a protective shield.

Is it a magical artifact that can enhance or assist a particular spell?

Is it a storage magic device that contains internal space to store items?

Or is this a demonic artifact capable of collecting the essence and remnants of the dead?

There are many types of magical artifacts, and cultivating magical artifacts is just one of them.

Dongfang Yang thought to himself, "A test will make it clear."

Next, Dongfang Yang conducted tests such as meditation, control, and casting magic, but the magical artifact did not react at all.

Dongfang Yang then tried inputting fire-type magic energy into the magical artifact, but it wouldn't accept it. He then tried inputting light-type magic energy, but the artifact still didn't respond.

"Is it the wrong magical energy attribute, or is this magical artifact not an enhanced or energy-storing artifact at all?" Dongfang Yang pondered.

"The Concentration Magic Artifact and the passively triggered Defense Magic Artifact need to be tested with the assistance of others."

"As for the undead artifact, that's easy to test. It's not too late now, I'll just go to the mage market and buy a few slave-level remnants to test it out."

"I currently have 750,000 in my pocket. I can't afford a slave-level essence that costs 5 million, but I can afford a slave-level remnant soul that costs 10,000 each."

With that thought in mind, Dongfang Yang got up and left his residence, heading once again to the street where mages sold their wares.

Less than half an hour later, Dongfang Yang returned to the bedroom with a vessel.

This vessel contains a slave-level explosive. The vessel is only used to store slave-level remnants of souls; it is not a necromancer, so it is worthless and is a free gift when buying remnants of souls.

Dongfang Yang sat in the bedroom chair, placing the container storing the slave-level remnants on the table and the gray-black ring next to it.

The gray-black ring did not react at this time.

Dongfang Yang murmured to himself, "It seems I need to open the container. Hopefully, the ring will react in a while, otherwise this ten thousand yuan will be wasted."

Dongfang Yang opened the container that held the remnants of the slave-level souls; it was empty.

It is not truly empty; there are remnants of a soul within the vessel.

However, only necromancers and mages who possess soul artifacts can see and collect the essence and remnants of the soul. Dongfang Yang is neither a necromancer nor does he possess any soul artifacts.

Dongfang Yang stared at the ring on the table, carefully sensing the changes in the ring through the soul imprint on it.

One second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed, but the ring did not react.

Dongfang Yang shook his head. "It seems the ring isn't a demonic artifact from the dead."

"I wonder if the remnant soul in the vessel has floated out, or if it's still inside. If it's not, then I'll have to pay ten thousand yuan."

Just as Dongfang Yang was about to close the container storing the remnants of the soul, the ring changed.

The changes were subtle, but Dongfang Yang sensed them through his soul imprint.

Dongfang Yang suddenly noticed something extra in the vessel on the table: a ball of pale blue light resembling candle flame.

The ball of light was now scattering tiny specks of light in all directions, some of which drifted to the ring and then disappeared into it.

"This is a remnant of a soul! I see it!"

Dongfang Yang's eyes widened.

"So that means this ring is a demonic artifact of the dead!"

Dongfang Yang looked at the ring on the table. After absorbing some of the scattered light points of the remnant soul, which was the energy of the remnant soul, the ring began to emit a weak suction force.
