Chapter 5: Demon From Hell-1
The box was engraved with an intricate peony design at the front, with leaves carved on either side. On top of the box was a strange, flowery pattern, which Ivy had never seen.
Instead of any complex mechanism, the box was pretty easy to open.
Ivy picked up the box from the ground and patted it clean.
With slight excitement and nervousness in her heart, she opened the box... only to find a silk cloth and nothing else.
"Impossible." Ivy’s eyes widened slightly. She remembered that in her past life, the ring was sitting right on the silk cloth. So where was it now?
Compared to her previous life, when she arrived in the evening, Ivy had arrived much earlier.
According to that logic, the ring should not have been stolen in the first place.
"Maybe I arrived too early... I should return later and check. Maybe the ring wasn’t in the box in the first place, and someone had placed it by the evening." Ivy guessed and placed the box back in its position and moved away.
Hiding in one of the bushes, Ivy waited and waited.
