After saying that, Wang Xiao immediately took a step back. This was because according to his understanding of Zhou Xiruo, after he made such a “straight man remark”, the other party would definitely respond with a cute punch.

However, to Wang Xiao’s surprise, Zhou Xiruo actually did not attack this time.

“I also think that the area of the defensive force field is a little small, but the function of this item is really very powerful.”

Zhou Xiruo explained seriously, “I’ve asked the shop assistant sister. This ‘indirect attack’ mentioned in the description of this [Protective Ring] covers a lot of things. Magic, elements, and even cold weapons will be judged as ‘indirect attacks’. ”

“Therefore, as long as you activate the defensive force field, if the enemy wants to injure you, they can only choose to fight in close combat. Even if they hold a saber or even a stone, they will still be unable to injure you.”

“It’s that powerful?”

Wang Xiao revealed a surprised expression, but his impression of the [Protection Ring] did not change. “But I have so many soldiers. I don’t think I need to fight personally, right?”

“This item is not for you to use in the secret realm.”

As Zhou Xiruo spoke, her eyes suddenly turned a little red. She rubbed her eyes and continued, “You’ve been encountering all kinds of danger recently, but you can’t summon soldiers without being in the secret realm.”

“That’s why I want to find you a self-defense item. Moreover, I bought this item with my own money…”

Wang Xiao was speechless for a moment. He did not expect this to actually be the case. Especially when he saw Zhou Xiruo’s pitiful red eyes and recalled what he had just said, he simply wished he could slap himself!

“I don’t deserve to be called a human!”

Wang Xiao cursed in his heart and hurriedly picked up the [Protection Ring] and put it on his index finger. “Heh! But I do look quite good wearing it. It’s just right!”

Looking at the [Protection Ring] on Wang Xiao’s index finger that had clearly grown bigger, Zhou Xiruo could not help but laugh. “Try to activate it with energy. The shop assistant said that it can change its size according to the wearer’s situation.”

“Is that so?”

As Wang Xiao spoke, he activated the [Protection Ring] with energy. As a pale yellow defensive field quietly unfolded, the [Protection Ring] also began to shrink until it stuck to his finger tightly.

“This item is really not bad!”

Wang Xiao put away his defensive force field and praised sincerely. If he had this item back then, he would not have resorted to being chased all over the city by Andu.

“As long as you like it!”

Seeing that Wang Xiao really liked it, a smile appeared on Zhou Xiruo’s face. She went forward and held Wang Xiao’s arm. “I want to go to the territory to study the mechanical beast. Let’s go back quickly!”

“Okay.”

Wang Xiao nodded. With an inadvertent glance, he discovered that Zhou Xiruo was also wearing a mithril ring. Moreover, the style was similar to his, but it looked more exquisite.

Before his mind could react, Wang Xiao pointed at Zhou Xiruo’s ring and exclaimed, “Hey, I just took a look and saw that your ring is similar to mine!”

Zhou Xiruo’s expression froze, and a blush instantly appeared on her fair face. “Ah? Really? I casually picked it… I don’t know…”

“Stop pretending! I know everything!”

Wang Xiao smiled proudly. Under Zhou Xiruo’s flustered gaze, he said confidently, “You want to use the same ring to let others know at a glance that you’re my vassal lord, right?!”

Zhou Xiruo almost couldn’t breathe. After a few seconds, she smiled and nodded. “Yeah, that was my intention. I really can’t hide anything from you!”

“Of course!”

Wang Xiao raised his head proudly. “Do you think I’m like Yi Han?”

Zhou Xiruo was speechless. She thought to herself, ‘You might not be as good as him in some aspects!’

Just as he was about to urge Wang Xiao to leave quickly, a clear and confused voice suddenly sounded. “Idol, did you say you’re like me?”

Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo’s expressions changed at the same time. They turned their heads stiffly in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Junrou and Yi Han standing more than ten meters away.

After a short but awkward silence, Wang Xiao squeezed out an awkward but polite smile. “What a coincidence! Why are you here?”

“Didn’t I say this morning? We’re going to a small secret realm.”

Xu Junrou pointed at the teleportation door not far away and then looked at Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo. “You… are here to buy something?”

“No, we’re just strolling around.”

Wang Xiao replied with a dry smile.

Both sides deliberately avoided mentioning the previous conflict. In the end, the more careful they were, the more awkward the atmosphere became.

After another moment of silence, Yi Han blinked and asked blankly, “Idol, what did you say about me just now?”

“Huh?”

Wang Xiao was stunned. His eyes darted around as he tried to make up for it. “I’m saying that you’re talented and hardworking. I also want to study as well as you and strive to be like you in the future!”

“Is that so?”

Yi Han blinked and muttered in confusion, “But why did that tone just now not sound good…”

Afraid that Yi Han would come back to his senses later, Wang Xiao pushed Zhou Xiruo away quickly. “Hurry up and go to the secret realm. We have something going on and will leave first! See you in the academy tomorrow!”

“Wang Xiao! Wait…”

Xu Junrou hurriedly shouted, but before she could finish speaking, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo entered the teleportation door.

Seeing this, Xu Junrou could only give up. Yi Han asked worriedly from the side, “Xiao Rou, he left in such a hurry. Is he still angry?”

“I don’t think so.”

Xu Junrou thought for a moment and shook her head. “Didn’t he say that he would see you at the academy tomorrow? He probably has something urgent to attend to, right?”

“That’s good! I thought he was really angry with me!”

Yi Han immediately became happy when he heard this. He had completely forgotten what Wang Xiao had just said about him.

Seeing Yi Han like this, Xu Junrou was immediately speechless. However, it had to be said that sometimes, she really envied Yi Han’s heartlessness.

“Alright, we should leave too!”

Xu Junrou greeted him and took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she entered the secret realm teleportation door with Yi Han.

At the same time, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo also arrived at their territory.

The two of them floated in the air and looked down. The territory of 1,400 kilometers could be said to be vast. Moreover, with 14 city-states and 80,000 people, this place was much livelier than usual.

In the past, his territory was filled with mutated beasts and wild lands. Now, with the combined efforts of many people, although it still looked a little primitive overall, it could already be considered to be crisscrossed and orderly.

“I really didn’t expect to actually own such a huge territory!”

Zhou Xiruo looked at those prosperous city-states and felt that it was unreal.

After all, not long ago, she was only a construction lord who was struggling to make ends meet. She even had to plan carefully to build the lowest level arrow tower.

However, after she became Wang Xiao’s vassal lord, she had obtained so many city-states, population, and countless resources in just half a month.. Thinking back, it was simply like a dream!
