Chapter 731 - 729: The Sect Master’s Useless Daughter 3
This bracelet only lets things in but not out, and apart from looking good, it has no practical use.
The commissioner wore this bracelet partly out of frustration and partly because it looked good and matched any outfit.
When initially purchased from the market, the bracelet wasn’t as pretty as it is now; it looked like a most ordinary bracelet.
Upon bringing it back and examining it, the commissioner accidentally removed its disguise and discovered it wasn’t an ordinary defensive Magic Treasure but a storage bracelet.
Given the commissioner’s stature, she naturally had no shortage of storage bracelets.
But this bracelet was extremely beautiful, so she immediately bonded with it by dripping blood and stuffed her belongings into it without thinking much.
Soon, when she tried to retrieve the items inside, she found she couldn’t get them out.
Not believing in such impossibility, she stuffed more things inside, yet it was truly impossible to retrieve anything, sparking some anger in her, but she speculated that maybe this bracelet was special. So she took it to her parents.
To her surprise, even Pei Feixue and Shen Song couldn’t solve the bracelet’s problem.
The commissioner was both angry and annoyed and from then on considered the bracelet just a decorative accessory. Occasionally, in a whim, she’d throw something insignificant inside to test if she could get it out again.
Of course, this always failed.
Later, someone noticed her bracelet. Fascinated by its beauty, they couldn’t help but take another glance and asked if Pei Feixue had given her a powerful Magic Treasure.
The commissioner said it wasn’t any powerful Magic Treasure, just something nice to look at but useless.
Indeed, it was beautiful.
People outside believed her words. As the Sect Master’s daughter, she certainly wouldn’t lie about such a thing.
Occasionally, when mentioned, she would utter a few disdainful words, making people feel she wasn’t particularly fond of the bracelet.
Later, there were many similar designs on the market, making her bracelet appear nothing special.
Jin Congshuang surprisingly wanted it, which suggests it wasn’t simple.
However, her gaze wasn’t particularly fervent, just laced with some curiosity about the bracelet. Perhaps it was just an inexplicable intuition?
Ah Chen withdrew her gaze and gently stroked the bracelet.
If Jin Congshuang hadn’t mentioned it, she might have forgotten that this bracelet had some peculiarity.
Since it was mentioned, she would eventually need to explore what made it special. A useless item is merely junk, to be discarded or reforged.
Moreover, it was an item that only let things in but not out.
Once it fell into her hands, how could it so easily escape?
"To use this bracelet to repay Senior Sister Jin’s life-saving grace, wouldn’t that make people outside mock me?" Ah Chen snorted slightly, sweeping her gaze over Fu Yue, "If I did that, Fourth Brother would probably call me petty."
Fu Yue’s face fell, sharing the same thoughts internally, thinking that Jin Congshuang’s request for the bracelet was merely an attempt to not take advantage and give the little sister a way out.
But if the little sister really gave the bracelet, wouldn’t she be ridiculed?
Ah Chen immediately thrust a sword, which was a High Grade spiritual artifact, into Jin Congshuang’s hand: "Just take it, Senior Sister Jin. My bracelet is merely an ornament and can in no way repay you for protecting me from the Bee King’s attack. Even if the Bee King couldn’t do much to me, your intention was genuine."
Before Jin Congshuang could say anything more, Ah Chen took two steps back, appearing as if the score was settled.
Jin Congshuang tightened her grip on the sword and said nothing further.
She moved her gaze away from the bracelet. Bracelets of this design were everywhere, a dime a dozen. Yet, for some reason, she felt a yearning for the one on Pei Chen’s wrist, as if a voice urged her to possess it.
Jin Congshuang lowered her gaze. Earlier, she had scanned it with her Divine Sense, revealing nothing special about the bracelet.
But with such a desire within, she would inevitably find a way to get the bracelet.
She had no guilt about taking anything from Pei Chen; this was all owed by Pei Chen’s family.
However, given that Pei Chen was Pei Feixue’s daughter and Pei Feixue’s cultivation was high, she couldn’t take it by force, or Pei Feixue would never let it slide.
She recalled her father’s warning to avoid Pei Feixue; what was planted in her body was his Magic Treasure, sealed with a Secret Technique, and until they surpassed Pei Feixue, they were not to reveal their identity.
Her father wanted them to avoid confrontation, yet they had chosen to stay right under Pei Feixue’s nose.
Over the years, Pei Feixue hadn’t noticed a thing.
In fact, her elder brother, having a Heavenly Spirit Root, was highly valued by the Sect and was the Supreme Elder Qi Feng’s direct disciple. As long as they didn’t err, even Pei Feixue wouldn’t dare act against him.
As for her, with only a True Spirit Root’s talent, the Sect had countless disciples like her, not warranting Pei Feixue, the Sect Master, to pay attention.
Glancing again at the bracelet, Jin Congshuang looked away, storing the High Grade spiritual artifact, but inwardly, she sneered.
The High Grade spiritual artifact was good, and she took it.
She wanted the bracelet on Pei Chen’s wrist and planned to acquire it by the end of their training.
Usually, Pei Chen didn’t seem to care much for the bracelet; she’d occasionally take it off, tapping it as though venting something.
Ah Chen, however, noticed the bracelet heating up, turning scalding hot, and then a force emerged from within, striking directly at her forehead. The power was so formidable and clandestine that no one, except her, noticed.
Finding it intriguing, she didn’t stop it immediately, allowing the force to run its course.
Soon, she realized the force was compelling her to remove the bracelet and give it to Jin Congshuang.
She was astonished, knowing well this power wasn’t from Jin Congshuang, yet the bracelet seemed to want to follow her. Was Jin Congshuang some great power, and this bracelet was previously her Magic Treasure?
Regardless, it should be by one’s own capability to take possession.
She then coldly sneered, and shattered the force that surged into her sea of consciousness in an instant.
At the same time, she sensed a muffled groan from inside the bracelet. Whatever it was tried to escape, but she discreetly cast a spell to seal the bracelet tightly.
Having come here, why flee?
Whatever it was, whether a spirit, was what turned this storage bracelet into a trash item only letting things in and not out.
Since it couldn’t escape, she decided to find a quiet place to get to the bottom of it later.
Now, it was time to deal with the Bee King.
As expected, their path was bringing them closer to the Bee King, and Ah Chen reckoned the next scene would be Jin Congshuang taming it.
Ah Chen discreetly took several High Grade Explosion Talismans in her hands, planning to blow up the Bee King to avenge Jin Congshuang shortly.
