4 Chapter 4

Tomorrow, Ling Min Zhe senior brother comes and ask for that bracelet. That bracelet is a treasure from ancient alchemist. Inside the bracelet is a small dimension that have herb garden and a lot of precious pills. He is indignant because he throws that bracelet when he saw it before and choose a jade pendant. Why would anyone want a rusted bracelet?

It turns out the jade pendant only function as temperature regulator, no matter how extreme the temperature whether hot or cold, his body temperature will always in optimal temperature. Who want that kind of jade? Compare to herb garden and pills that pendant is a trash.

He whips Ling Min Zhe again and again but Ling Min Zhe did not want to give it to him.

"You are really stubborn aren't you!"

He unsheathes his sword and glare at the hanging Ling Min Zhe. Then, he put his sword at Ling Min Zhe left wrist.

"Since you do not want to give me, let me take it from you."

He slowly cut Ling Min Zhe's left wrist. Ling Min Zhe thought that he already numbs from the pain let out a grunt.

"Junior brother, is it painful? I put some salt on the sword. It is to add some flavor. Ha...Ha...Ha." Ling Min Zhe's senior brother laugh maniacally.

"Thud!" Ling Min Zhe's left wrist is separated from his body and he sways to the right because the rope that holding his left arm is also being cut. He looks like a ragged doll.

Ling Min Zhe's senior brother quickly take the bloody wrist and hope to see the bracelet will be dropped with it. When he did not see the bracelet, he lost control and directly slash Ling Min Zhe right wrist, but the bracelet did not show itself.

"Why did you choose him? I pick you first?"

Then, he continues to hack Ling Min Zhe's legs. He did not stop and "Chop...Chop...Chop." Ling Min Zhe's arms and leg into small pieces like a butcher.

"Why?" Ling Min Zhe's senior brother is devastated. He looks coldly towards Ling Min Zhe. After the first grunt Ling Min Zhe did not produce any sound. His eyes that calm yet murderous staring at his senior brother.

His senior brother felt provoked and use his sword to stab at Ling Min Zhe's eyes. Then, he cuts Ling Min Zhe two ears and skin his face. He hates that handsome face. He also a handsome man why didn't woman fawn on him? Why it is always Ling Min Zhe?

Ling Min Zhe is being use as a human swine and died a week after that. The senior brother never gets the bracelet just throws his junior brother body to the pigs.

Li Zian eyes produce black tears and slowly turns her head towards Ling Min Zhe. She slowly stands up and Zhong follows her movement while still embracing her.

Ling Min Zhe noticed Li Zian movement, feels cold and terrified. He just managed to run from his senior brother and those righteous people, now he is facing a new threat. She clearly just a normal girl a few seconds ago.

'Why is this happening to me? What did I do to awaken the monster?" Ling Min Zhe lament in his heart.

Li Zian spread her arms in front of her and Ling Min Zhe is pulled towards her. Ling Min Zhe cannot control his body and Li Zian's finger is intertwine with his fingers. She stares directly at Ling Min Zhe's eyes and said, "You do not have to worry. I will protect you."

After that, Li Zian black out and Zhong that embracing her quickly catch her and put her in the tent. Ling Min Zhe did not really understand what happen feels that the temperature is rising and notice that he is crying. He then enters the tent and quietly observe Li Zian. Why is he crying? He did not know.

A few minutes later, Li Zian is awake.

"How are you? Is it your head still in pain?" Zhong put his finger at Li Zian's wrist to check her pulse.

"I did not feel pain in my head anymore. Ugh! It is a strong resent..."

Li Zian noticed that Ling Min Zhe is sitting beside Zhong and cut her sentence. She carefully observes his right wrist. Her gaze darkens, 'That bracelet is evil.' Thought Li Zian.

Zhong did not know what Li Zian saw but quickly bring her mind back to reality. "Do not get overwhelm by what you have seen, master."

Ling Min Zhe that observing the situation in the tent taken notice of Zhong that come out of nowhere. He wonders what are the relationship of these two people have. Then, inside his little mind, 'Oh! She is his master. Eh! MASTER? This man energy is strong and domineering. I cannot detect his cultivation so he must be stronger than me. How can someone in Qi Refinement become a master to someone strong like him? Xiao Li does not seem like someone that come from a big family.'

Li Zian shakes her head a bit and try to get up. "What are you doing, you should rest a bit more!" shouted Zhong.

"I need to skin the rabbit and treat the meat with herbs. We will have visitor tonight."

Zhong roared at Li Zian, "Then, you should rest more. It is the rabbit is more important to you?!"

"Of course, the meat will be wasted."

"Who will come tonight?" Ling Min Zhe cannot help but interrupted their quarrel.

Li Zian stare at Ling Min Zhe and turn towards Zhong. Zhong nodded at her, "You can tell him."

"Tonight, your senior brother will come here."

Ling Min Zhe's body tremble to hear what Li Zian said but at the same time he feels like he can trust and depend on Li Zian. "Will something bad happen to me?" His tears suddenly flow from his eyes. "This why am I crying?"

"Yes, something unbearable will happen to you. Deep inside your heart, you are calling for help. You feel there is no justice in this world. Ling Min Zhe, I will try my best to protect you."

Tears rolls down like pearls from Ling Min Zhe eyes. Since he knows that he has demonic body people always ridicule and bully him, telling him and incarnation of evil. Did they think he wants to be born with this body? When his master took him under his wing, his master ignores all the saying and defended Ling Min Zhe. His master tells everyone that Ling Min Zhe will not follow the demonic path. Only his master loves him and give a yin stone. The yin stone will produce yin energy so he only needs to cultivate using that energy.

But nobody knows that all of it is a scam. All of the love and teaching are just a façade to trick him and the others. His master actually cultivates him so that he can harvest his heart. His master wants to create a forbidden pill to increase his cultivation and he needed a healthy and strong yin heart. Luckily, he found out early but before he manages to go on hiding his senior brother has come with a few people to demand his bracelet.

"I know about the bracelet function and know when to give in. I am in hurry to run, if they want the bracelet, they can take it but for some reason I cannot take it off from my wrist. Then, those people they attacked me and I manage to run using teleportation talisman."

Li Zian knows something evil inside the bracelet. She lifts her palm and suddenly the bracelet appears on her palm. Li Zian's hairs and pupils turns into dark purple and the temperature in the tent is low. Ling Min Zhe's mouth open wide in an o-shape. The bracelet on Li Zian's palm start to vibrate and then it wants to fly outside. Zhong quickly detain the bracelet. The bracelet is floating in the air. Zhong make a crushing gesture and the bracelet crack a bit.

"Mercy! Have mercy!"

A soul flying out from the bracelet. The soul quickly kneels in front Li Zian.

"This old soul Yan Lin sees Master Jiangong."

"Hump! Sucking another people fortune and disrupt one destiny! WHO DID YOU THINK YOU ARE!?"

Li Zian that sitting slams the earth. The earth tremble and the birds are flying away. The old soul Yan Lin, fades a bit.

"Forgive me master, forgive me." The old soul Yan Lin hit his faded head to the ground repeatedly. Each time his head hit the ground some of his soul energy disperse from him. Yan Lin feels bitter but what can he do? Jiangong is not someone he can mess with. They wield a great authority in this world.

Ling Min Zhe stutter, "Wha...What is... is this? I... I mean who is this?"

"This is an old soul that lives in the bracelet or you can say a parasite. This kind of souls suck away people's fortune to increase their chances in living and avoid tribulation. If not, how could an ancient soul like him still alive until today?" Zhong explain to Ling Min Zhe with disgust in his face.
