78 Tempted to try.

Wang Yufan was really confused, though everyone said it was a miracle, he didn't feel that what happened to him was nothing but just a miracle. He raised his hand to wipe the nonexistent sweat on his forehead and as soon as he did that, the cool jade bracelet that was on his wrist fell with a loud clang… only then did everyone's attention turn to the broken pieces of the cooling jade that was broken in half but that wasn't the surprising thing given that it was on Wang Yufan's wrist when the latter was stuck in the middle of the sea of fire.

What was surprising was that the jade bracelet had gone completely pitch black, it was as if someone has painted with Vantablack paint and left it to dry. There was no shine and no contour left of the jade bracelet and it looked creepy as hell with such profound darkness covering it.

Master Wang took a look at the bracelet and frowned before he turned to Bai Xin who has gone very pale. She was clutching the handkerchief in her hands and trying to smile gently at her lover but was failing miserably. It was over, if Wang Yunling started to doubt her then it was completely over for her and her son.

Wang Yufan noticed the small movements of his father and Bai Xin —— and his face turned dark. Turns out that this valuable jade bracelet was something that Bai Xin gave to his father and he handed it to him. Only his oblivious father would think that this snake-like woman was any good! If he knew earlier that this bracelet was given by Bai Xin, he wouldn't have even touched it much less worn it.

But why would Bai Xin go through so much motion to get him to wear this bracelet? His eyes glimmered with darkness as he stared at the scary-looking bracelet that was darker than the sky without the moon. Only then did he remember that Song Yan has clasped on his wrist and stared at this bracelet for a long time, Wang Yufan's head snapped up as he finally remembered what happened earlier this morning.

He arched his back and patted his back pockets but the surprising thing was that when he pulled out the yellow talisman that was in his back pocket, he only saw a pure, white and crumbled paper. The tacky talisman with its weird inscriptions was gone, leaving behind only a normal paper that looked as if it was torn from a book or something.

Wang Yufan refused to believe that what happened today wasn't linked to this talisman, there must have been some possibility. He stared at the bracelet that has gone black and then at the talisman that was as white as snow and the more he looked at them, the more he couldn't help but believe that the bracelet was something that had black magic instilled in it, it must have been instilled with something dirty or else why was it that it turned so black?

As Wang Yufan thought about it the more he realised that small and big incidents started to happen in his life after he started wearing this bracelet. And none of them was good—- when Wang Yufan realised just how this bracelet impacted him, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. Good, Good! So, using dirty tricks wasn't enough for this mother and son pair now they were even using things like dark magic!

If Wang Yufan hadn't suffered what he did tonight, he would have laughed and thought that it was nothing but superstition but now that he was sitting here alive after going through such a dangerous accident, he couldn't help but think that Song Yan must have known that something was up with the bracelet and it was her talisman that saved his life, at the thought that his life was actually protected by the piece of paper that he considered tacky Wang Yufan couldn't help but choke on air, and what was more—— he was actually going to throw this talisman!

His eyes widened in shock as he clutched the now normal piece of paper his heart started to thud violently and his body started trembling, if he had thrown this talisman —— then today, it wouldn't be him sitting with his family but his burnt corpse sitting in the morgue for his family to take it away.

He was simply thankful to Song Yan for still handing out this talisman even though he treated her so badly and even took her as a swindler who was being crooked by a conman. Tomorrow—— Tomorrow he would go and meet Song Yan face to face and apologise for his behaviour and at the same time——

His cold and sharp gaze swept over Wang Ran who hurriedly lowered his head… but this time Wang Yufan wasn't fooled. He has always turned a blind eye to this half brother thinking that he knew his place and was willing to let him have a share of his inheritance so that he would be able to live a comfortable life after all he too was his father's son and his dad treated Wang Ran quite well but looks like that all the obedience and sign on submission this brother of his had shown were nothing but an act to lower his guards.

Wang Yufan clenched his fists as his eyes flickered with millions of ice shards that were more than eager to kill Wang Ran——if he found out that it was indeed Wang Ran who tried to kill him then he surely wouldn't stop even if his father blamed him.

Song Yan didn't know that Wang Yufan escaped from such bloody calamity, and even if she had known it, she wouldn't have been worried after all she was very confident in her talisman that can protect just anyone unless their deaths were predetermined by the God and not any human.

At the moment she was sitting on her bed trying to cultivate as much Yang energy as possible but the thing was that the wisps of Yang energy were really hard to find in the modern.

Seeing her friend struggle Fang Yanli couldn't help but comment, " Why are you trying so hard? Just roll in the sheets with your husband and see how your Yang energy gets recharged to the brim."

Song Yan: "..." Though the suggestion was vulgar, she was indeed tempted to take the shortcut.
