The bone is deathly white, yet it possesses the crystalline and delicate quality of jade.

The bracelet is engraved with a circle of exquisite and intricate runes, which reflect a flowing luster in the sunlight!

The appearance of the two bone jade bracelets instantly attracted the attention of Count and Countess Hall!
Bone-colored, jade-like.
Earl Hall peered inside, then scoffed, "This isn't some fossilized bone from an animal you picked up in the wild, is it?"

"You're just giving me two broken stones as a gift?"

Although the flowing patterns on the bone jade bracelet looked unusual, Earl Hall couldn't resist making a few sarcastic remarks.

There's no other reason, it's simply that the old man dislikes Huang Mao!
"Dad~"

Audrey shook Earl Hall's arm, then took the bone jade bracelets directly from Mu Sheng's hand and put one into Earl Hall and his wife's hands.

"This is a magical item made by Victory. In terms of value, it's worth at least 100,000 gold pounds!"

"Even ordinary people can't buy this!"

Audrey tilted her head back slightly and said with a proud look on her face.

When Mu Sheng took out the bone jade bracelet just now, she recognized it as something—the vessel of the Giant Seed.

They were also called the "seed of God" by the relatives of the "Reform Society"!
There are two ways to use the divinely given seed. One is to directly integrate it into the depths of the spirit, transforming the recipient from body to mind into a dependent.

Another way is to use it as a magical object, such as the dominoes incorporated into the back of Audrey's hand.

These two bone jade bracelets are the same; they are magical items made by Mu Sheng using the divinely bestowed seed as material and inscribing various extraordinary runes.

"Ten thousand gold pounds? For this worthless rock?"

Earl Hall made no attempt to hide his suspicion, even tapping the bone jade bracelet on the tea table in front of him.

"Is this bracelet a magical item? What functions does it have?"

Lady Caitlin curiously stroked the bone jade bracelet in her hand; its warm and delicate texture was better than the most precious gemstones she had ever touched.

"This was specially made for you by Victory."

While answering her mother's questions, Audrey sent a message to Mu Sheng through the dominoes on the back of her hand.

The reason she didn't let Mu Sheng answer was to show that she already knew about the gift and to prove that it was a carefully prepared gift!
Although Mu Sheng didn't particularly care about this, he didn't go against Audrey's good intentions. With a thought, he sent her the relevant information about the bone jade bracelet.

"A magical item called the Guardian Bracelet!"

Audrey sorted through the information in her mind and explained the function of the bone jade bracelet to Mrs. Caitlin.

Earl Hall, who seemed indifferent, unconsciously stopped the tapping and banging he was doing.

"Firstly, it has a protective function. When the owner encounters danger, the bracelet will release a protective barrier that can withstand attacks below Sequence 3!"

"Sequence 3!?"

Lady Caitlin looked surprised upon hearing this: "If I remember correctly, the first number for Extraordinary Ones should be 9, and the numbers should decrease as they go on, right?"

"Could Victory really create such advanced magical items?"

Lady Caitlin couldn't help but look at Mu Sheng again.

To be able to create such amazing items, Audrey's 'boyfriend' must be quite powerful among extraordinary individuals, right?

"Hmm~!"

Audrey huffed arrogantly, "Victory is a Sequence 3 demigod, you know!"

"If he wanted, he could easily obtain a marquisate, or even a duke-level noble title, in the secular world!"

At this point, Audrey's eyes involuntarily glanced at Earl Hall, who was eavesdropping nearby, as if to say that Mu Sheng was perfectly worthy of her!
She's even somewhat out of her league!

"Duke? Demigod?"

While Lady Caitlin was surprised that Audrey used those two words to describe Mu Sheng, a deep sense of unease arose in her heart.

'How could Audrey, a newcomer who has only recently become an Extraordinary, have come into contact with a powerhouse of this strength?'

'Could this Victory be some kind of con artist?'

Lady Caitlin initially had a good impression of Mu Sheng, but now she felt suspicious and worried.

If it's a scam, that's fine, but if it's real, she'll be even more worried!
This is just like the story of "a domineering CEO falling in love with a divorced, menopausal woman with a child"—normal people wouldn't believe such a thing could happen.

"Besides its protective function, this bracelet has another particularly useful feature!"

In her excitement, Audrey didn't notice her mother's change in mood. She took her hand and was about to help her put on the bone jade bracelet.

"etc."

"Crack!"

Before Lady Caitlin could refuse, a crisp click of a mechanism was heard, and the bone jade bracelet was slipped onto her wrist.

The jade bracelet, which could easily fit through the palm of the hand, was now clinging tightly to the even thinner wrist.

There wasn't even a tiny gap between the bracelet and the skin.

"what?"

Mrs. Caitlin moved her wrists a few times in surprise, but did not feel any tightness that would affect their rotation.

This amazing scene further confirms the bracelet's extraordinary nature!
at this time,

Audrey reached out and gently touched the surface of the bone jade bracelet again.

A transparent square screen instantly appeared on Mrs. Caitlin's retina!

[Audrey has requested to add you as a friend!]

【Agree/Reject】

"Ah! What is this? Audrey, did you see it?"

Strange words appeared before my eyes!

The sudden appearance of the writing caused Lady Caitlin to gasp in surprise!
"What's wrong, Madam? What happened? Is there something wrong with this broken stone bracelet?"

Hearing his wife's exclamation, Earl Hall quickly asked with concern, his small mustache trembling as he spoke.

At the same time, he glared angrily at Mu Sheng, leaving the latter speechless.

'Where does this old Deng come from with such hostility?'

'snort! ’

"Dare to glare at me? I'll kick your daughter later!"

After all, daughters are supposed to pay for their fathers' debts!

Mu Sheng wore a calm smile on his face, but secretly harbored malice in his heart.

"Don't worry, Mom, this is another really useful feature I was talking about!"

Audrey held her mother's hand reassuringly and carefully guided her on how to operate the screen that appeared in front of her.

Soon, Mrs. Caitlin granted Audrey's request and, somewhat awkwardly, controlled the screen with her mind to chat online with Audrey.

"Goddess of the Night! How can she do that? This is amazing!"

Lady Caitlin was amazed by this online chat function, which was much more convenient than wired telegrams!
"Isn't it amazing? Mom, look at this again!"

Audrey smiled mysteriously and sent her mother a cute emoji of Susie tilting her head like a dog.

Mrs. Caitlin's mouth dropped open in surprise, her eyes shining as she urged Audrey to teach her how to do it. Soon, the mother and daughter were exchanging memes in their chat.

Joyful laughter echoed throughout the villa.

"No, Audrey, Caitlin, my little princess, my dear lady, what are you doing? Pay attention to me too!"

Earl Hall looked left and right, and seeing the mother and daughter having a great time playing something, he suddenly felt neglected.

"Wait a minute, Earl, I'm busy right now, I'll talk to you later."

Mrs. Caitlin gave a casual reply and then turned back to playing with the various functions on the chat screen.

I completely forgot my previous doubts and worries!
"Dad, I'm teaching Mom. You can let Victory teach you!"

Audrey didn't have time to pay him any attention and said without turning her head.

'You want me to find that pretty boy con artist?'

Earl Hall was naturally unwilling to ask Mu Sheng for help, so he sat sullenly on the sofa, fiddling with the bone jade bracelet in his hand by himself.

"Crack!"

He put the bracelet on, but no matter how he pressed, tapped, or knocked on it, nothing changed.

There were no strange words that Mrs. Caitlin had spoken of, nor did they appear before our eyes!
"Oh ho ho~"

"This is a picture of your father, Audrey. When did you get this? He looks so funny!"

Lady Caitlin was amused by something and burst into laughter, completely forgetting her demeanor as a noblewoman.

"Hehehe, Mom, there's one for you too!"

Audrey grinned mischievously and then sent a meme of Lady Caitlin herself.

"Audrey! When did you take this picture of me without my permission? Teach me how to do it, I want to make yours too!"

Caitlin persisted, and soon, under Audrey's guidance, she raised her arms and gestured back and forth between Audrey and Earl Hall.

He kept letting out bursts of cheerful laughter!
Count Hall, who had been watching all this, finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned his gaze to Mu Sheng:
"Hey, kid Victory, how do you plan to get this bracelet?"

Mu Sheng glanced at Lao Deng in surprise, not expecting him to back down so quickly.

Indeed, once a man has a weakness, he is easily manipulated!

"It's very simple, I'll teach you!"

Mu Sheng smiled politely, got up and went to Earl Hall's side to activate the function of the bone jade bracelet for him!
Although Old Deng never treated him well, he was magnanimous!

After all, we've taken some of their bok choy; we should at least have this kind of attitude.

Audrey, who was standing nearby, noticed this and smiled knowingly.

All her efforts were worthwhile; she finally managed to ease the tension between her father and boyfriend!
'I was so clever!'

Audrey silently gave herself a thumbs up, and then sent her father, Earl Hall, a friend request.

[Audrey has requested to add you as a friend!]

【Agree/Reject】

"agreed, agreed!"

Count Hall looked at the floating screen and words that appeared before him and quickly shouted his agreement.

"Use your mind to control it!" Mu Sheng reminded him.

"idea?"

Soon, under Mu Sheng's guidance, Earl Hall learned how to operate the equipment and enthusiastically joined Audrey and Lady Caitlin's conversation.

In the end, the three even created a group chat called "A Loving Family"!

Forehead!
Mu Sheng looked at the group name, a strange expression on his face.

There's no way around it, this group name is just too classic!

Late at night, long after Mu Sheng took his leave.

On the third floor of the villa, Count and Countess Hall were still happily chatting using the functions of the bone jade bracelet.

Queen Catelyn: "This bracelet is truly amazing. I wish Alfred had one too!"

Queen Caitlin: That way I can contact him anytime. The child is all alone in the Southern Continent; I wonder how he's doing.

As they chatted, Lady Caitlin suddenly remembered her youngest son, Alfred Hall, who was far away in the southern colonies.

Seeing that she was feeling down, Earl Hall quickly put his wife in his arms and scolded his youngest son for his shortcomings.

Then he said he was going to Musheng to get another bone jade bracelet to send to his youngest son, Alfred!

"This bracelet is so precious, how can I just ask for it directly?"

Lady Caitlin chided.

Just as Audrey said, even if this bone jade bracelet were sold for 100,000 gold pounds, it would be priceless and unavailable.

Even if 'Victory' were just his daughter's boyfriend, it would be inappropriate for him to ask for such an expensive gift, even if the two were married.

She even felt a little hot in her hands holding the two bone jade bracelets, and was already thinking about how to compensate Mu Sheng.

Even if the other party may not care, they still can't leave without making a gesture!

"If that doesn't work, we'll just buy it with money. If 100,000 gold pounds isn't enough, we'll go for 200,000 or 300,000!"

Earl Hall said nonchalantly, as if he were referring not to piles of dark green banknotes, but to a cold, hard number.

"So you think you're the only one with money?"

Mrs. Caitlin gave his soft belly a playful punch: "What about these two bracelets? Do you want to buy them too?"

Even at 200,000 gold pounds, the three bracelets would be worth 600,000 gold pounds.

Even with the Earl of Hall's wealth, having to come up with so much cash at once would greatly impact his cash flow.

Their family is very wealthy, but most of their wealth is tied up in fixed assets and various business investments, so they don't have much cash readily available.

Six hundred thousand gold pounds is almost half of the Hall family's liquid assets!
'God of Poverty' Klein: How much?

"Can that be the same?"

Earl Hall was immediately indignant: "That brat took all the gems from our Hall family, and he dares to ask for money for two broken bracelets?"

Although the previous incident had eased the tension somewhat, Earl Hall still harbored resentment towards Mu Sheng at the thought of his beloved little princess being abducted by the blond-haired man.

"You, you!"

Lady Caitlin knew perfectly well what a doting husband she was with her daughter, and could only shake her head helplessly.

"I'll talk to Victor about the bracelet; you don't need to worry about it!"

"No rebuttal allowed!"

Lady Catherine forcefully suppressed Earl Hall's desire to express his opinion and settled the matter.

More than half an hour later, the two, overcome with drowsiness, finally put down the bone jade bracelet and went to rest!
the other side,
Mu Sheng, who should have left Earl Hall's mansion long ago, just stepped out of Audrey's room and disappeared into the darkness of Backlund.

A few minutes later, Mu Sheng appeared in a sewer pipe that was flowing with sewage and reeking of rot.
"Based on spiritual guidance, this should be the place!"

"Lanius, the true creator!"
