The Mightiest Little Peasant

“Everything’s fine now!”

Tang Hao patted Thea’s shoulder and comforted her.

“Mm!” She answered softly and let go of her hands.

“How did he find you?” Tang Hao asked in puzzlement.

She was silent for a long time before she replied, “He tracked down the person who provided me with a fake identity and interrogated him. That’s how he found me.

“He threatened me that if I didn’t get in the car, he would start killing other people. I had no choice but to follow him.”

Tang Hao frowned. A hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

‘Caesar is a threat!

‘It would be troublesome if he came to the university to seek revenge.’

However, there was no danger in the short term. Caesar was seriously injured and would not dare to appear in front of him for the time being.

“I want to… kill him with my own hands!” Thea said hatefully. “However, my current power level is no match for him.”

“Tsk! Too bad I let him get away,” Tang Hao said.

“That’s one of the powers of the Witch’s Heart!” Thea said.

Then, she said sadly, “It’s all my fault. I almost involved the students of Z University in this. Now that my identity is exposed, I can’t stay here anymore.”

“If you don’t stay here, where will you go?” Tang Hao was stunned.

“I want to go to Europe!”

“Why do you want to go there?”

“To look for Artifacts!” She said, “We warlocks have three Great Artifacts. One is the Witch’s Heart, which is a gem. The other two are a staff and a ring.

“The staff has disappeared since a thousand years ago. No one knows where it is, but the ring is in Black Mountain.”

“I want to go to Black Mountain! Black Mountain and White Mountain might be enemies, but I think I should be fine by myself.”

“Ring?” Tang Hao was surprised.

“Yes! It’s called the Supreme Ring! It’s the most ancient and powerful among the three Great Artifacts. According to legend, the Supreme Ring contains endless power.

“However, not many people can wield it. After Black Mountain split, the Witch’s Heart was taken away, and no one could be the new wielder of the ring. That’s why Black Mountain declined.

“It’s said that the ring is kept in the treasure vault of Black Mountain!”

Tang Hao’s expression became even stranger.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Tang Hao’s expression change, she could not help but ask.

“What does that ring look like?” Tang Hao asked.

“Um… I’ve only seen pictures in ancient books. It doesn’t look very remarkable,” Thea said.

Tang Hao scratched his head. ‘This is too uncanny. Is the ancient ring I found in the Black Mountain vault actually the Supreme Ring?

‘The Supreme Ring. That name sounded imposing. Did I pick up such an awesome treasure? Why didn’t the old warlocks fight me to the death for it?’

“What’s going on?”

She was confused, seeing how Tang Hao’s expression had become extremely strange.

“I think I have the ring!” Tang Hao said.

She was stunned, and her beautiful eyes widened.

Then, she covered her mouth and laughed.

“Stop joking! That’s the Supreme Ring we’re talking about! A treasure of Black Mountain…” Thea said while giggling.

However, she suddenly stopped speaking, and her eyes widened as she looked at Tang Hao’s open palm. He was holding an ancient ring.

“This, this, this…”

She was struggling to find her words.

Indeed, the ring was exactly the same as the one she saw in the ancient tomes.

‘This has to be fake! How could he have the genuine ring?’

“This… is real!” Tang Hao said seriously.

She was instantly stunned. “How could you have it? Shouldn’t it be in Black Mountain?”

“Yes! I went to the Black Mountain and snagged it,” Tang Hao said somewhat embarrassedly.

“Snagged it?”

Thea was astounded.

“Yeah! I took a lot of things!”

“What do you mean by a lot of things?”

“Everything…” Tang Hao became more and more embarrassed.

Thea’s jaw dropped.

After a long time, she came to her senses and grabbed the ring in Tang Hao’s hand excitedly.

“This is it!”

She hugged Tang Hao happily.

“What do we do now? This stupid thing doesn’t seem to work!” Tang Hao said.

“I don’t know either. These Artifacts seem to be sentient. You have to make it acknowledge you.” She fiddled with the ring and said frustratedly.

Then, she seemed to have thought of something. “Are you… really giving this to me?”

“Take it! I can’t use it anyway!” Tang Hao said.

“Oh! Thank you!”

She bit her lip and said happily.

After saying that, she wrapped her arms around Tang Hao’s neck and kissed him.

After a long kiss that almost suffocated him, she parted her lips from his. She was blushing hard. “Can you help me put it on?”

Tang Hao was stunned. ‘It’s not a diamond ring. I shouldn’t worry!’

He took the ring, grabbed her hand, and put it on.

“Thank you!”

She smiled sweetly. Her heart was full of joy.

“Okay! Let’s go back!” Tang Hao looked around and saw the mess on the ground. He picked up his phone and called General Bai, requesting his help to clean up the mess.

“Hey! Comrade Tang Hao, what did you do this time?” General Bai complained.

Tang Hao briefly explained the incident.

“What! What did you say? You kidnapped that treasure from Merrica and brought her to Huaxia? No way! Are you that amazing?”

“I didn’t kidnap her! She came here on her own!”

“…’

‘If she came to Huaxia to look for him on her own, doesn’t that make him even more amazing?’

After a long while, General Bai replied, “Hot damn! Why didn’t you tell me earlier about such a major incident?”

Then, he chuckled and said, “You’re really something, Comrade Tang Hao! Amazing, really amazing! You’ve brought glory to Huaxia! Don’t worry, I’ll send someone over to clean up.”

After ending the call, Tang Hao sent Thea home.

Thea spent the next few days studying the ring, but there were no results.

She did not go to university anymore and stayed at home.

Late one night, Tang Hao was sitting cross-legged in the living room, studying alchemy. Suddenly, the building opposite him lit up with a dazzling golden light.

He turned to look, but he could not look directly at the light.

About ten seconds later, the light slowly dissipated.

Tang Hao quickly got up and flew to the balcony of the opposite building. When he entered the apartment, he saw Thea sitting there. On the middle finger of her right hand was a ring that was emanating a dazzling golden light.

He could feel the imposing aura from the Artifact.

“It worked?” Tang Hao said in surprise.

She stood up and said happily, “It worked!”

“That’s great!” Tang Hao said.

She walked up and hugged Tang Hao. “Thank you, Hao! It’s all thanks to you! I don’t even know how to thank you!” She said softly.

“You don’t have to thank me!!” Tang Hao said.

“Of course I have to!” She said with a smile.

“Are you going back?” Tang Hao asked.

“Yes! I want to go back and reclaim what was taken from me. I won’t forgive anyone who betrayed or hurt me,” she said coldly. Her tone was filled with killing intent.
