Chapter 7 The Seven Loves and the Exquisite Bracelet
Chapter 7 The Seven Loves and the Exquisite Bracelet
It seems that the Hua family ostensibly hired security guards, but secretly believed that people with strong malevolent energy could scare away the monsters inside, or feed them to sustain his son's life.
They only hire tall, burly men like Wang Qiang, people who live on the edge. Those who survive are afraid to speak out because of the exorbitant breach of contract fees, leading to the loss of many lives.
"What treasure did he steal? What backlash did he suffer? Tell me clearly, and I might spare your life." Ask him first before making a decision.
Wu Lai felt the room wasn't that cold. I wouldn't hurt him, and he couldn't escape anyway! I could only tell the truth.
Actually, I don't know what happened. I was inexplicably sucked into the bracelet he was wearing. After finally cultivating into a physical form, I was finally able to leave the bracelet!
He stole the bracelet, and my cultivation was wasted. I couldn't leave the bracelet. When the bracelet left its original place, it triggered the protection mechanism and emitted an illusionary aura. He suffered a backlash and couldn't remove the bracelet. That's how it slowly ended up!
Wu Lai's emotions went from excitement to frustration, and then she collapsed to the ground.
I knew Wu Lai was in dire straits, but I couldn't ignore the people still alive outside. I asked anxiously, "How can we stop the bracelet from emitting its aura?"
“The bracelet needs to be recognized by its owner for the protection mechanism to be lifted. Otherwise, what do you think all these people are doing here?” Wu Lai examined me for a while before explaining the solution.
So it wasn't for maintaining lives or suppressing rebellion. No wonder those who left only had 100,000 yuan. What a shrewd businessman! But getting a free treasure isn't a bad deal.
"How can I get him to recognize me as his master? What do I need to do?" I'll give it a try, whether it succeeds or not. If it doesn't work, I'll destroy the bracelet.
Wu Lai circled around me, surprised, and said, "I've never seen a bracelet recognize its owner before. You... think it through yourself. But I have seen it. As long as someone touches this bracelet, their arm is ruined!" Better to live a wretched life than die. Why are you so desperate to die?
I ignored Wu Lai's scrutinizing gaze and walked straight to the bedside.
I did see that the thin, bony man on the bed was wearing a bracelet on his right hand. I was thinking about how to destroy the bracelet; it was probably impossible for him to claim ownership.
I would never sacrifice myself as a celestial herb to save the world; that would be foolish. I will only do what I can within my capabilities.
I was determined to get it. I gathered ice in my palm and reached for the bracelet. But before I knew it, the bracelet slipped out of my hand and ran away. Could this thing still have some kind of consciousness?
"Waaah, Master, are you going to kill me?" came a bewildered, childlike voice, slightly choked with sobs.
After saying that, it attacked me. I quickly conjured an ice wall, and with a "bang," it sounded like something fell to the ground.
"Waaaaah~ Waaaaah! Master, you're having a fit of rage." A loud wail echoed in my ears, and to make matters worse, she was rolling around on the ground.
I watched as Qiqing cried for a while without stopping, and I was at my wit's end! I could only coax her gently, "Your name is Qiqing, right? Qiqing, please stop crying! Can you please get rid of the hallucinations outside first?" Let's solve the problem first.
When Qiqing heard her master comforting her, she immediately stopped crying and even pretended to wipe away her tears, saying, "Okay, master."
In a moment, the hallucinogenic aura floating in the air rushed into the bracelet, and the dark room slowly revealed its original appearance: a clean white floor, dark-colored wall paint, and when the curtains were drawn back, a beam of dazzling sunlight shone in, bringing hope to the people in the room.
The bodyguards who were standing outside keeping a close watch on the situation saw the curtains being drawn open and hurriedly went to report it.
Now that the matter is resolved, we can ask for clarification! "Seven Emotions, why did you call me master? I don't know you!" As for the man lying on the bed, he's fine now.
"You are the master of Seven Emotions. Master, I have been waiting for you to come and find Seven Emotions." After saying that, Seven Emotions couldn't wait to fly to my wrist.
Seeing that she wouldn't hurt me, I let the Seven Emotions Body wear on my wrist.
I raised my hand and carefully looked around the bracelet. The main body was made of seven-colored stones, and the snow lotus pattern carefully carved on the silver rim was lifelike, as if telling a story of thousands of years. But I don't know the seven emotions, so why do I have this feeling?
Could the Seven Emotions be the "Seven Emotions Exquisite Bracelet" that the mysterious man spoke of? I always thought it was in the inn, but I never imagined it would be stolen!
Seeing that Qiqing didn't resist me but instead became affectionate, Wu Lai was stunned and petrified on the spot, only reacting after a while.
"It was you who sucked me into this bracelet, causing me to lose my freedom!" Wu Lai pointed at Qi Qing, her anger blazing.
"I don't know either. I slowly woke up after sensing my master's presence. I was almost destroyed by my master. I'm just a bracelet." She started crying as she spoke, and ran behind me to hide while crying.
Wu Lai, furious, demanded, "Can your 'I don't know' make up for all the suffering I've endured over the years?" She then ran over to strike Qi Qing, but stopped abruptly when she saw me.
His tone became hesitant as he said, "Don't think I won't dare to hit you just because you've found a backer. Now that you've found a master, let me leave immediately."
Qi Qing, trembling with fear, said, "You...you can't leave!" Then she immediately crawled into the bracelet.
"Ah! What did you say! Why? Why?" Wu Lai was furious and unleashed a barrage of ice needles, leaving numerous small holes in the wall. Huan Yuechu immediately activated her protective barrier.
Xu Yan, who came in to look for Huan Yuechu, was not so lucky. She was pierced by Wu Lai's ice needles and fell to the ground unconscious. Huan Yuechu hurriedly used his magic to control Wu Lai.
Qi Qing knew he had made a mistake! He immediately pulled Wu Lai into the bracelet space.
I immediately went forward to check on Xu Yan. She was seriously injured but not in life-threatening condition. With a few days of rest, she would be fully recovered.
I thought to myself, Wu Lai's ice needles shouldn't have seriously injured Xu Yan! Could something have happened? I called an ambulance.
He then walked quickly outside, where bloodstains were everywhere. The other three were injured or unconscious to varying degrees, with Wang Qiang being the most seriously injured. Their specific conditions were unknown and they would have to wait for the doctor's diagnosis.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door. The ambulance had arrived so quickly! I opened the door, and two rows of bodyguards in suits rushed in and surrounded me. I calmly watched the scene unfold.
This is the kind of audacity to snatch a bracelet! But they don't even bother to find out whose it is.
I put my hands in my pockets and glanced at the bodyguards. In an instant, an old man with a full head of white hair and a cane hurriedly walked in. He went straight to the bedroom, looking slightly anxious and scared. He was accompanied by two doctors.
This must be the chairman of the Hua Group! He was originally blessed with great merit and would have lived a long life, and would be a blessed person in his next life, but because his son lost his merit, he won't live much longer! Doesn't he regret doing this?
Human emotions are so complex. No one taught me, and I don't understand them. Since I became conscious, I have been on the path of cultivation every day. My only failure has been experiencing tribulations, so I don't understand these complex emotions.
But looking at the hunched old man, I felt a little sad, for some reason.
