Chapter 261 - 261 260 Protective Jade Pendant

Chapter 261: 260, Protective Jade Pendant Chapter 261: 260, Protective Jade Pendant Liu Shanyue couldn’t help but tremble. This man was terrifying, and she desperately hoped that the elevator doors would suddenly open.

“Come on, become my model,” Erik chuckled sinisterly, revealing two sharp teeth as he slowly approached Liu Shanyue. He enjoyed seeing the look of fear on his prey’s face.

“Don’t come any closer. I’m telling you, I know kung fu,” Liu Shanyue posed defensively, but her fist-clenched hand was slightly trembling, showing no threat at all.

“Resistance is futile. Just be good, and it won’t be painful,” Erik sneered coldly, his voice suddenly sharp and his sinister eyes a frightening red, like blood. As he neared Liu Shanyue, he extended his hands, nails sharp as daggers, gleaming with a cold light.

Seeing Erik like this, Liu Shanyue knew she wasn’t dealing with an ordinary human. A look of despair crossed her face, and she closed her eyes. She knew it was no use resisting anymore. If he were an ordinary man, perhaps she could have run away, but she had encountered a monster.

Erik chuckled sinisterly, his sharp nails slashing towards Liu Shanyue’s neck. He was interested in Liu Shanyue because of a special aura she emitted, an aura he had never encountered before. He felt that consuming her blood would enhance his power.

“Bang!” A sound of something heavy being sprung into the air erupted.

Liu Shanyue opened her eyes in surprise and looked down at Erik on the ground. What just happened?

Erik scrambled up and wiped the fresh blood from his mouth, “What is on your neck?” During his attack, a white light had suddenly burst from her neck, throwing him off and injuring him internally.

Liu Shanyue puzzledly looked down to see the Jade Pendant around her neck and her eyes brightened. So the Protective Jade Pendant really was a Magic Artifact. Fortunately, she had it to protect her, or she would have been doomed today.

Feeling more confident, Liu Shanyue was no longer as afraid, looking at Erik, “If you dare, come at me again.” Xiao Ning had told her that the Jade Pendant could protect her three times, and she had only used it once; there were still two chances left. Most importantly, she wanted to test the power of the pendant again.

Erik looked warily at the Jade Pendant hanging from Liu Shanyue’s neck. That must have been what emitted the white light, something he didn’t understand. But to give up his prey like this, he was truly unwilling. The woman before him had been the most satisfactory prey he had encountered in many years, yet now he could only look, not touch.

Liu Shanyue saw the elevator doors slowly open, “Move aside, or I’ll use this.”

Gritting his teeth and filled with reluctance, Erik, considering the white light that had emanated from the pendant earlier, could only step aside.

Liu Shanyue glared harshly at Erik and briskly walked out of the elevator. Although she appeared strong, inside she was still afraid. This was her first time experiencing something like this, her first encounter with such a terrifying person—his red eyes, sharp teeth, and nails gleaming with cold light—all terrified her.

Upon hearing the door open, Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen knew that Liu Shanyue had returned.

“Mom!”

“Aunt Qin!”

Song Yan Ning paused when she looked at the Protective Jade Pendant on Liu Shanyue’s neck. “Aunt Qin, did you encounter danger?” When they had left in the morning, the Protective Jade Pendant had been intact, but now it had obviously been activated.

“How did you know?” Liu Shanyue looked at Song Yan Ning in surprise. She had paused at the door for a long time, making sure there was nothing unusual about herself before she came in. She was worried that they would be concerned.

“The Jade Pendant on your chest has been activated,” Song Yan Ning pointed at Liu Shanyue’s chest.

“How can you tell?” Liu Shanyue took down the Protective Jade Pendant. She inspected it several times but couldn’t find anything different.

“The color of the pendant has dimmed, Mom, what happened to you?” Qin Yushen poured a glass of water and handed it to Liu Shanyue. Though she looked no different from usual, her mental state was clearly not the same as before, indicating that she had been frightened.

Unable to hide it from the two of them, Liu Shanyue had no choice but to tell them what had just happened. “Xiao Ning, where did you buy this Protective Jade Pendant?” She had previously envied Xiaoqi, never expecting that her own Protective Jade Pendant would turn out to be a Magic Artifact.

“I bought it from a master craftsman who sells Magic Artifacts.” Naturally, Song Yan Ning couldn’t say that she had made it herself.

“Can you still see that master?” Liu Shanyue looked at Song Yan Ning hopefully. If she could buy a few more, she would be able to give them to her family members.

Song Yan Ning shook her head and took out a bracelet from her pocket, handing it to Liu Shanyue. “Aunt Qin, I also bought this bracelet from that master. You should wear it.” This bracelet was made after her breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, and its power and number of uses far exceeded those of the Protective Jade Pendant.

“Wear it yourself, I have this jade pendant already,” Liu Shanyue said with a smile, shaking her head. She had worn the jade pendant for so long, and this was the first time anything like this had happened. Besides, the bracelet was surely more precious than the pendant, and Xiao Ning was still young. Compared to her own needs, Xiao Ning needed protection more.

“Aunt Qin, please take it, I have another bracelet,” Song Yan Ning lifted her hand, shaking the bracelet on her own wrist.

“How many Magic Artifacts did you actually buy from that master?” These artifacts were so precious, having one was already great, but to have so many?

“I bought all the ones he had on his stall, about a dozen or so. I didn’t know they were Magic Artifacts at the time,” Song Yan Ning said with a mischievous smile.

Liu Shanyue shook her head and laughed, “Thankfully, these Magic Artifacts are real.” She knew Xiao Ning was not short of money, but if these artifacts had been fake, that would have been a huge loss since they were sold under the guise of Magic Artifacts, and they certainly weren’t cheap.

“I can only say I was lucky.” Song Yan Ning laughed heartily, quite pleased with herself. “Aunt Qin, please take this bracelet.”

“Mom, you don’t need to be polite with Xiao Ning,” Qin Yushen spoke up. It was quite normal for a mother-in-law to accept a gift from her daughter-in-law.

“Then, I won’t be polite.” Liu Shanyue smiled as she accepted the bracelet and put it on her wrist. Almost immediately, a comforting feeling emerged from deep within her heart.

“How magical! The uneasiness in my heart seems to have disappeared all at once,” Liu Shanyue exclaimed joyfully, looking at the bracelet on her wrist. Although she had tried to remain calm, some shadows remained in her heart since she had never encountered such a terrifying incident before.
