Chapter 675: Exploring the Secrets of the Magic Bracelet

”Silly girl, what do you know? Don’t spout nonsense.”

Zhao Xuemo’s cheeks flushed, and she shot her sister a disgruntled glance, as if her words had truly struck a nerve.

”Sister, I’m not talking nonsense. Honestly, I think that brother-in-law just now was quite alright. If there’s really nothing between you two, why would he appear in our villa?

And besides, from the way you two were chatting just now, even a fool could guess that you must know each other.”

”Don’t you ever bring him up again,” Zhao Xuemo felt almost dizzy with irritation.

She had only intended to use Lin Zifeng to fool Zhao Xiaoshi, so that in the future, when others asked, Xiaoshi could corroborate her story, at least keeping up the facade of being a respectably unmarried woman wasn’t easy.

”Sister, you’re truly too stubborn. Are you really willing to give up a lifetime of happiness for a man you’ve never met?

All these years, you’ve been living like a widow. Do you really think we don’t know? Moreover, you’ve always claimed that he’s overseas doing business, too busy to come back. Even if this absurd excuse can fool someone for a moment, can you really fool everyone forever?”

”You—you stop talking! I can make my own decisions about my life. Don’t worry about me unnecessarily.”

Zhao Xuemo’s expression turned cold, seemingly unwilling to discuss that man she had never met.

”Sister, can’t you be a little less stubborn? You’ve never even seen what he looks like, yet you’re really pinning your life’s happiness on that illusory fiance? After four or five years, whether he’s alive or dead is unknown. You should wake up,” Zhao Xiaoshi’s words grew more impassioned.

She couldn’t stand to see her sister upset over such a nebulous man. Was he really worth sacrificing her lifetime of happiness for?

”You’re just a kid, what do you know.”

”Sister, that’s not the right thing to say. Although I don’t understand all the complications between adults, I’m just speaking the mind of an observer. Of course, Sister, if you continue to be this stubborn, just pretend Xiaoshi never said anything.”

”However, Sister, let me remind you, that ’brother-in-law’ just now was actually pretty good. He’s handsome and has a great physique. If you don’t hold onto him tightly, beware I might make my move,” the young girl hopped off the couch with a giggle.

She walked over to Zhao Xuemo, completely disrobed, let down her tied-up hair with a flick of her hand, and swayed her hair like the women on TV shows.

Laughing, she said, ”Sister, do you think if I do this, brother-in-law will fall for me?”

”Silly girl, stop spouting such lewd talk all the time. You’re a young lady, you should learn to be modest. This is Huaxia, not a foreign country. No matter how you used to play sexy, I wouldn’t care, but here, you need to restrain yourself, or you’ll be the one suffering later,” Zhao Xuemo replied sternly.

She pinched the girl’s tender flesh on her waist hard enough to elicit a coquettish yelp of pain.

The girl’s tall stature was at least half a head taller than Zhao Xuemo, highlighting the graceful and perfect contours of her naked figure...

That night, Zhao Xuemo was utterly sleepless. Her cousin’s words from this evening kept replaying in her mind.

Whenever people asked about her boyfriend, she would quickly tell them that he was overseas on business, too busy to come back and spend time with her.

But she knew all too well how hard it was to convince herself of these feeble excuses.

He was a man she had never met, yet she had been troubled by an engagement for many years...

After leaving the villa and just pushing open his door, Lin Zifeng felt a surge of annoyance.

He slapped his forehead, realizing he had forgotten something important.

Damn it, I was supposed to look after the dog, but after all that, I forgot what I even went to their villa for. Geez.

”Did you run into anyone familiar?”

Seeing him standing dumbly at the door, the woman gently closed her notebook and casually asked.

Her delicate, fair face was framed by oversized black glasses, lending her an intellectual charm.

”No,” Lin Zifeng lied.

”Oh, then maybe she didn’t go today.”

”She? Who are you talking about?” Lin Zifeng feigned ignorance. He didn’t want her to know about what happened that evening, else she might skin him alive.

”Zhao Xuemo, the PR Director, the neighbor’s villa belongs to her cousin. You didn’t run into her tonight, did you?”

Nangong Bing stood up nonchalantly, opened the refrigerator, and poured a drink into a glass.

”Uh... maybe I just had bad luck today and didn’t encounter Director Zhao. Maybe next time; I’ll see if I can meet her then,” Lin Zifeng replied with a smile.

”Oh.” The woman nodded, filled two glasses, picked up one casually for herself, and then sat back at her computer as if nothing had happened, sipping quietly.

Lin Zifeng felt a warmth in his heart as he saw this, a hint of a smile curling the corners of his mouth.

It was clear that the extra glass was meant for someone else.

He wasn’t the type to play coy, so he walked over and began to drink from the other glass.

The woman sneaked a glance at him, feeling warmth in her heart.

It was only after the man had finished the drink in one gulp that the woman, with her face red, deliberately kept her gaze on the computer screen.

Hehe, if you want to look, just look. Why put on such a fake act?

Lin Zifeng chuckled to himself.

...

Late at night, when all the household lights were extinguished.

However, Lin Zifeng had never gone to bed before midnight, as he was constantly researching the secrets of the Magic Bracelet.

He poured all his Vital Energy into the Magic Bracelet, attempting to reach the degree he envisioned. Each time he encountered danger, the Magic Bracelet would warn him of its approach at the earliest moment. He remembered that when he first obtained the Magic Bracelet, it didn’t have any special functions.

Could it be that his blood had stained it afterward?

At first, Lin Zifeng was indeed surprised, but later on, he realized that the secrets of the bracelet were far more than that.

The level of mystery was absolutely beyond his imagination.

Even the Blazing Angel, who couldn’t unravel the Magic Bracelet in the past, how could he possibly figure it out right away?

Hmm!?

Lin Zifeng’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened. He had just infused a hint of Vital Energy into the Magic Bracelet, only to discover it seemed to continuously entice something down.

He knew well that the Magic Bracelet’s essence was as vast as the sea, and even his recent entry into the Fist Generating Vital Energy Realm was transformed under the anomaly of the Magic Bracelet.

After a night of experimentation, he was still unable to lure out the terrifying power residing within the depths of the Magic Bracelet.

Although his Vital Energy was profound now, it was still just the bare beginning. At the very least, he would need to reach the Vital Energy Expelling Realm before he could infuse Vital Energy into it and explore the secrets of the Magic Bracelet.

After a night of trials, Lin Zifeng still failed. No matter how he tried to entice the powerful and terrifying force inside the Magic Bracelet, he was still unable to unlock its secrets.

It remained as simple and unadorned as ever, with no difference from an ordinary bracelet.

This indeed gave Lin Zifeng a headache.

The Magic Bracelet rumored to resurrect the dead was now in his possession, yet it was like guarding a mountain of gold without reaping any benefits.

This feeling of helplessness was not something ordinary people could comprehend.

...

Late night.

In an underground garage in the East District of Zhonghai. Shao Huo’s actions were even more alarming. This guy, leading a bunch of thieves, burned the entire Bai family’s martial arts gym to the ground...

...

The next morning, Black Hawk immediately made a phone call, saying Shao Huo had burned the entire Bai family, young and old, to death.

Suddenly, a heavy stone seemed to strike Lin Zifeng’s heart.

That day, he had ordered Shao Huo to release the entire family of the owner of the Bai family’s martial arts gym.

Yet, this bastard not only didn’t release them, but also used the gym owner’s parents, wife, and children to threaten him.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zifeng’s brow furrowed slightly, and his face turned iron blue.

In the Martial Arts World, no matter what conflict arises, using someone’s family as leverage is absolutely taboo.

Catastrophe should not extend to one’s family; this is a taboo throughout the entire Martial Arts World.

Now, Shao Huo had violated this principle. If Lin Zifeng didn’t stop him now, it was very possible that Shao Huo’s actions would offend all the big bosses of the Martial Arts World in Zhonghai.

”Where are you going? Aren’t you going to have breakfast?”

Seeing Lin Zifeng’s solemn expression and his hurried demeanor, Nangong Bing, who was preparing breakfast, also became puzzled.

”I have some matters to take care of.” The man’s voice was somewhat indifferent, and even his normally stern face was covered with a layer of frost. This was the first time Nangong Bing saw Lin Zifeng with such an expression.

”What happened?”

The woman asked urgently.

”It’s nothing.” Lin Zifeng hurriedly ran to the garage, started the car, and sped off in the direction of the East District of Zhonghai.

He left the woman at a loss, unable to understand what was going on with him today. He wasn’t usually like this, but today, all of a sudden...
