Chapter 9: "Blood Awakening – Ye Family Heirloom"
"Cough, cough, cough-" "…Little girl, this old man will appear before you now…"
After she heard the voice, Ye Qing Luo felt an intense burning sensation on her wrist.
The flower mark on her wrist started to float up and rotate.
Ye Qing Luo stared at incredulous sight before her as the mark started to spin quickly and next all she saw was a burst of blinding white light and she felt as if she was being sucked into the centre of a whirlpool.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself standing in the midst of vast whiteness, everywhere around her was shrouded with a thick fog, all she could see was white.
Was this the same place she was just at?
Where the h.e.l.l was she now?!
"Little girl, I am here."
From behind, she heard that same voice.
Ye Qing Luo whirled around and saw a white mist slowly congealing together and slowly formed the silhouette of a person. Soon, a white haired old man wearing a white robe appeared before her. However, it wasn’t exactly a person as she could still see the puffs of smoke and his silhouette was hazy.
"Who are you!" Ye Qing Luo was on full alert as she stared at him, ready to fight any time.
"Little girl, you were the one who summoned me, and yet you still ask me who am I." He laughed heartily as he stroked that long white beard of his.
"I summoned you?" She looked at him wide eyed, her mind was in complete turmoil.
The old man patiently explained: "Little girl, this old man here is the Guardian of your Ye family"s heirloom, it was your blood that had awoken me, so you tell me, wasn’t it you who had summoned me out?"
Family heirloom?
"You"re not kidding me, are you?" She looked at him vigilantly, eyes full of suspicion.
Ye family heirloom… that item belonged to her in the 21st century!
It was precisely because of that family heirloom that had pushed those old farts to act and forced her to perish together with them.
Did it mean that not only had she crossed over, even that family heirloom had followed her over?
"That mark on your wrist is the best proof." The old man took a step forward and in the blink of an eye, the old man stood in front of her before she could even react.
She then felt something cold touch her wrist.
Ye Qing Luo eyes flared wide in shock and she swiftly retreated a step back.
The speed of that old man… it was inconceivably fast!
If he had wanted to kill her, she would not even have the chance to fight back!
Ye Qing Luo"s expression eased up, and her level of vigilance wasn’t so high as before.
The old man mentioned the mark on her wrist. Did he mean that cherry blossom mark?
"This is the family heirloom, the Azure Dew Bracelet." The old man finger touched the mark on her wrist and the cherry blossom floated up.
One by one, the cherry blossoms linked up and formed a cherry blossom bracelet around her wrist.
What.. what?!
This… was this the same thing that she had risked her own life for and handed down from her ancestors?
For such a thing, she had also lost her life…
d.a.m.n it! The reason she had also crossed over…was it also because this bracelet did something weird?
Ye Qing Luo felt that her mind was on the brink of collapse. All her previous beliefs were smashed to smithereens.
One had to know, in the modern world, the life she lived was one filled with leisure. Whatever she wanted to do, no one stopped her. She had complete freedom and no one controlled what she did.
It definitely wasn’t anything like this strange world she was in now. Her current ident.i.ty was too high profile and wherever she went, people always schemed against her, looking for trouble whenever an opportunity arises.
"This Azure Dew Bracelet has already accepted your blood. And I, am the Guardian of it. I will now pa.s.s on to you the profound mysteries behind it."
"Profound mysteries behind the Azure Dew Bracelet? What the h.e.l.l?!" She stared flabbergasted when she saw the bracelet turn back into the mark and floated down and appeared on her delicate wrist once more.
She carefully touched it gently and looked at it deep in thought as the old man"s words echoed in her mind.
In her past life, those old farts had long set their filthy eyes on this family heirloom of hers.
They were even willing to sacrifice their own lives to try to attain it.
Now, she had personally witnessed how powerful it was!
