Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Valuable
“Wife, why did you suddenly pop out from here just now? You scared me to death; I thought I saw a ghost,” Big Bull pointed at the bracelet on Xuexue’s hand, still looking frightened as he recalled the event.
“You’re saying I came out from here?”
Upon hearing this, Xuexue herself was baffled and incredulously raised her wrist, carefully asking while pointing at the bracelet, “Big Bull, are you sure you’re not seeing things? Did I really come out from here?”
“Yeah! You just whooshed out, faster than anything, even quicker than my Qinggong, it scared me to death.” Big Bull nodded, still shaken by the experience.
Although the bracelet was of great value, in her previous life, she had never heard of it having any special functions. What on earth was going on? Xuexue’s eyes fixated on the bracelet, trying to discern some sort of magic.
Suddenly, Xuexue saw a faint red glow within the bracelet, which was very strange to her. She clearly remembered that this bracelet had no impurities; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been worth an entire city. In her past life, Situtu Qinger coveted this bracelet for that very reason and did everything possible to take it from her.
Glancing upwards at the wound on her wrist, she had a moment of clarity – could it be that the bracelet had absorbed her blood and gained this function because of that?
“Big Bull, you can’t tell anyone about what happened just now, understand? This is our little secret,” Xuexue warned Big Bull earnestly.
If this bracelet truly had such a function, akin to a legendary portable space, it was a treasure beyond compare. Throughout the entire Moli Country, no one had heard of anyone actually possessing such a thing. It was a rare jewel that should not be leaked; otherwise, it might bring about fatal danger.
“Is it because others might react like you just did, thinking the wife is a ghost?” Big Bull leaned in close to Xuexue, nervously asking.
“Exactly, they would catch me, lock me up, and then, they wouldn’t give me any food or water. I’d starve to death.” As Xuexue spoke, she vividly gestured the tragic scene, deliberately frightening Big Bull.
“No way, Wife; I will protect you. Rest assured, I’d die before I told,” Big Bull hastily said, becoming anxious as he circled around Xuexue, as if she might be snatched away at any moment.
“As long as you don’t tell, I’ll be fine!” Xuexue, dizzy from being circled, then remembered how desperate Big Bull’s calls for her had been earlier and asked, “By the way, why were you looking for me in such a hurry just now?”
Reminded of the situation, Big Bull deflated a little as he pointed to the shattered bowl on the ground, “Wife, I was bringing you some meat, but I accidentally broke it.”
“I’ve just had my meal. Why did you suddenly decide to bring me meat?”
“Earlier, Auntie gave me all the meat, and you didn’t get any. I was afraid you’d be angry,” Big Bull said earnestly.
With Xuexue’s insistence, he finally switched from calling Madam Xie “mother” to “Auntie.”
Unable to contain herself, Xuexue burst into laughter. Although Big Bull was a bit dull, it was precisely this endearing simplicity and his honest, straightforward nature she found so lovable.
“Wife, you’re not angry?”
“Not angry,” Xuexue smiled, shaking her head.
In her previous life, after returning to the General’s Mansion, she had eaten all sorts of delicacies; how could she be upset over a few pieces of meat? She was just vexed that her own abilities were insufficient, failing to beat a few riff-raffs. But now, she had a portable space, which was a massive advantage. Thinking this, she lifted her wrist and stared at the bracelet, lost in thought.
“Wife, did you really go inside just now?” Seeing Xuexue wasn’t angry, Big Bull felt relieved and leaned in, imitating her focused gaze upon the bracelet.
“Yes, I did. I have no idea how I got in there, but it was so beautiful, a sea of flowers. The fragrance was so potent, it filled the air… it was like paradise,” Xuexue said, her face glowing with delight as she described the scene.
