Chapter 125: 125 Blood Jade Bracelet (Part 4)
Mo family.
In a mysterious stone house.
White candles burned on the walls of the stone house, where the light was dim.
A tall and straight silhouette could vaguely be seen standing in front of the stone house, towering and graceful, with sharp and exquisite features hidden in the dim light, exuding an aura of dominance that could not be ignored.
In front of him was a pool of water that was boiling, more a bath than a re pool.
Around the bath were nine stone-carved jade dragons, each spouting columns of light blue water from their mouths.
At a glance, the water in the bath was also light blue, bubbling and issuing a mist of cold air, giving off an eerie atmosphere.
This was Bone Eroding Water, also known as the water from hell, capable of reducing any object, living or dead, to nonexistence upon contact.
Yet the man showed no fear of this water, slowly shedding his clothing and stepping up the stone stairs through the mist.
He leaned against the jade platform, half subrged in the water, his robust chest evoking wild thoughts, eyes slightly closed as if recently awakened, his face not as sharp as usual but filled with languor.
And a touch of thin coolness.
The cold in the bath gradually boiled, and the ascending mist, like a light veil, made his jade-like features even more indistinct.
As if he were a person from beyond this world.
After an indeterminate ti, the man stood up from the bath, naked from the waist up, and with a splash, brought up droplets of water.
The mist of cold air grew thicker, obscuring the allure of the pool.
When the cold mist had dissipated, the man was completely dressed again, returned to his usual forbearing and aloof appearance.
Suddenly, as if rembering sothing, he took out a Blood Jade Bracelet from his pocket.
Even in such dim light, the Blood Jade Bracelet still emitted a dazzling red glow.
Looking at the bracelet lying in the palm of his hand, the man’s lips curved slightly. In the next second, his fingers clenched, slowly squeezing until drops of fresh red blood trickled down between them.
In just a few seconds, the blood had already spilled onto the ground.
The air was filled with a strong sll of blood.
When he reopened his palm, the Blood Jade Bracelet had vanished, leaving only a pool of blood in his hand.
Mo Zhixuan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the blood from his palm.
"What’s going on?" Zheng Chuyi frowned, her fingers on the strings of her zither stopping abruptly, and she looked up at the sky. The once clear blue sky was now gradually tinged with a layer of blood.
Like a fiery cloud.
The Mo family’s matriarch also felt a jolt in her brow as she sat in the ditation room. With a ’clatter,’ the Buddha Beads in her hand scattered on the floor.
Not bothering with the beads, she hurried out of the ditation room, also looking up at the sky, her eyebrows locking together in concern.
"Aunt Mo, has sothing happened to Zhixuan?" Zheng Chuyi rushed to the ditation room at the first opportunity.
"I don’t know, but by the looks of it, he must have touched the Bone Eroding Water," said the old matriarch, her face ashen.
Why would he deal with Bone Eroding Water all of a sudden, unless...?
At this thought, the matriarch’s brow twitched, and she strode out, supporting Zheng Chuyi.
"Bone Eroding Water?" Zheng Chuyi frowned slightly and asked softly, "Aunt Mo, has the Blood Jade Bracelet been lost?"
The matriarch did not conceal anything, saying directly, "It hasn’t been lost. I gave it to Zhixuan’s yet-to-be-married wife a while ago."
Hearing this, anger flared on Zheng Chuyi’s face. "Aunt Mo, how could you give such an important thing to an outsider?"
The matriarch understood the underlying aning in Zheng Chuyi’s words, but simply said, "A daughter-in-law of the Mo family cannot be considered an outsider."
Zheng Chuyi lowered her eyelashes. Although she was displeased, she said nothing more, and quickened her pace, supporting the matriarch towards the stone house.
In tis like these, there was no point in arguing with the matriarch and making herself disliked.
Just as they reached the entrance of the stone house, Mo Zhixuan erged from within.
Unlike usual, he wore a clean white shirt, hands in his pockets, coming against the light. His sharp and exquisite features gradually beca visible in the sunlight, dazzling onlookers.
As if he were a celestial being, he walked towards them, each step seeming to fall upon Zheng Chuyi’s heart.
’Tap-tap-tap’ With each step, Zheng Chuyi’s heart tightened, drawing her into an unintentional, sinking enchantnt.
"Xuan’er, are you all right?" the matriarch hurried forward, her expression filled with concern.
"I’m fine," Mo Zhixuan spoke softly, his lips parting lightly.
Upon closer inspection, his skin was noticeably paler than usual.
A faint sll of blood lingered about him.
The matriarch naturally noticed the abnormality on Mo Zhixuan’s body and continued, "I just saw an unusual phenonon, the sky stained with blood. Tell
the truth, did you touch the Bone Eroding Water?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Chuyi quickly regained her senses from his astonishing beauty and asked softly, "Yes, Zhixuan, I noticed it too. Are you alright now?"
What she cared about most was why Mo Zhixuan had dealt with the Bone Eroding Water for no reason.
Mo Zhixuan did not even glance at Zheng Chuyi but looked at the matriarch and nodded slightly, "Yes, I have."
His voice remained as deep and cold as ever.
