3355 Caused By External Force

Ever since Lu Man found out that Xie Jiling was studying in B City, she had been thinking about this.

Previously, even when she was pregnant, she was still able to move around conveniently. And so, she often went to visit Xie Jiling at the University of B City.

However, at that time, Xie Jiling was on leave for a mission.

Xie Jiling would travel around during holidays.

When it was the Spring Festival, Lu Man also contacted Xie Jiling.

However, at that time, she was at Xie Family's ancestral home.

In addition, she seemed to have received a lot of work requests.

Yesterday, Lu Man received a call from Xie Jiling.

Because school was starting soon, Xie Jiling came back.

Lu Man then remembered that she wanted to invite Xie Jiling to have a meal at the house.

Xie Jiling came back to B City by herself. And she would definitely get bored staying at the dorm.

The other students were gradually coming back, but some of them were still out.

And so, Xie Jiling came over today.

Xia Qingwei did not know that Xie Jiling had helped Lu Man before. Xia Qingwei also had no idea what Xie Jiling was capable of doing.

However, she really liked Xie Jiling, as she was a very honest and straightforward girl.

When Xie Jiling came into the house, Xia Qingwei immediately welcomed her with enthusiasm.

"Eh?" Xie Jiling suddenly murmured.

She stared at Lu Man's wrist.

Xia Qingwei just so happened to step into the kitchen at this time. Lu Man then asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this beaded bracelet?"

The beaded bracelet was a gift from Xie Jiling. It was meant to protect Lu Man from being disturbed by negative energy.

It would help her keep a calm state of mind and remain energetic.

Xie Jiling gifted this to Lu Man when she found out about the pregnancy.

The beads weren't some valuable jadestone. It could have been because Xie Jiling had attributed the beads…

Although the beads weren't good jade stones, the surface of each bead was reflective.

If you looked at each one closely, you would notice that each one looked bright and smooth.

If you observed carefully, you would then notice that it was just a normal jade stone.

It might have been because of this beaded bracelet, but since she became pregnant, she neither lost her appetite nor had a bad sleep. She hadn't suffered at all.

She was very healthy. The results would come back positively whenever she was on her checkups.

Normally, things would become really difficult near the end of pregnancy.

The pregnant lady's limbs would become really swollen. Her feet would swell up.

A pregnant lady also wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably.

However, Lu Man suffered from none of those.

Her limbs remained skinny. Even when she was pregnant with twins, her increase in weight did not cause her any burden.

Her sleep quality was really good as well. She had never woken up in the middle of the night in fright.

She had never gotten any leg cramps, too.

Some people would feel depressed before the expected date of birth. Yet, she didn't.

Anyway, ever since she started wearing this bracelet, she felt mentally and physically well.

Because Lu Man trusted Xie Jiling, she kept wearing it.

Even when she showered and slept, she never took this bracelet off.

"Did you realize that the light on the beads has darkened?" Xie Jiling pointed at the beads as she said, "There is only a faint glow left. It's very weak. When this glow disappears, this beaded bracelet will become an ordinary bracelet. It will become useless."

"However, this shouldn't happen. The things I make last forever. The energy in these beads would only be exhausted if something has been attacking you, and they were being repelled by the beads."

Xie Jiling lowered her voice and said, "Did anything happen to you recently? Anything out of the ordinary? Even if it is something that is so minor and small but is something bad, you have to tell me about it."

Lu Man pondered for a while and said, "No. I even told Zhuoli that I felt so peaceful ever since I started wearing this bracelet. Pregnant ladies are more emotional. Even very small things can cause big mood swings. However, that hasn't been the case for me."

Xie Jiling nodded and said, "Because the bracelet still has some energy. However, the energy is too weak now."

"Fortunately, I came to visit today. Otherwise, it would have been bad." Xie Jiling whispered.

Lu Man asked nervously, "What is the reason? Perhaps… perhaps my soul is shifting again?"

"No. Don't worry. Your soul has completely merged with this body. That situation will not occur again. This time, the damage is caused by an external force."

Xie Jiling took off a bracelet from her wrist and put the bracelet on Lu Man's wrist.

"This bracelet is an heirloom of the Xie Family. It is very powerful. It is different from your beaded bracelet, which has a finite amount of energy. The energy in the bracelet you are wearing was added by me. However, this other bracelet naturally contained such energy and has the ability to recharge."

"However, it's not a guarantee that there won't be any issues. Although the beaded bracelet can recharge, the rate is not as fast as the rate of exhaustion. Whenever the energy in this bead is exhausted, the recharge rate will become slower," Xie Jiling explained.

"However, the good thing is that the beaded bracelet has an abundant amount of energy. Even if some of the energy is exhausted, the remaining energy should be enough to generate more energy." Xie Jiling said.

"If you gave me this beaded bracelet, what are you going to do? In addition, this is your heirloom, so it's very important. You are always in a very dangerous position because of your missions and requests. You need the energy from this bracelet."

"I am not accepting any work recently. You should do an investigation into what's going on with you. You are pregnant and will be giving birth soon. You absolutely cannot be in danger. Even if the delivery of the babies happened smoothly, this issue still has to be resolved. If this issue remains unsolved, what if this threatens the safety of the two babies as well?"

Currently, the two babies were Lu Man's weaknesses.

She didn't really care about herself.

However, if this would involve the children, Lu Man had to think carefully about this.

"In addition, for the past years, I have been nurtured by the beaded bracelet. Even if I am not wearing the beaded bracelet, I will not be harmed by any ordinary beings," said Xie Jiling.

She then put the beaded bracelet on Lu Man's wrist and took the previous bracelet off.

"And even if I am able to add more energy to this other one, it will still take time. You have to be protected right now. You can give it back to me when I have fully investigated what's going on here," Xie Jiling whispered.

Lu Man nodded and accepted it.

Xie Jiling held the beaded bracelet as she said, "Since that thing was repelled by this beaded bracelet so many times, it should have left its mark on the beads."

"Let me search for it." Xie Jiling stood up.

Lu Man said in surprise, "Are you leaving now?"

"Yes. Since I noticed the issue, it would be best to resolve it quickly. Otherwise, there might be trouble in the future." Xie Jiling said.

"You don't have to rush. I am fine now, right? Just leave after the meal." Lu Man suggested.

"No. I can't stop worrying about it," Xie Jiling said.

At this moment, Xia Qingwei came out with a bowl of fruits.

"Jiling, are you leaving now?" Xia Qingwei asked.

"Something came up. I have to resolve it," Xie Jiling answered.

"What is the emergency? Can't you take care of it after the meal?" Xia Qingwei said, "Kid, it's rare for you to visit. Why are you in a rush to leave? The cooking is already done. Even if you have to leave to do that task of yours, you should leave after the meal."
