After Yan Xi said this, no sound came from the bracelet.

Yan Xi narrowed her eyes and pointed the bracelet at the burning candle next to it. “If you don’t come out, I’ll burn this bracelet.”

Inside the bracelet, a red-haired man with golden eyes sneered. His eyes flashed with a golden light, and his handsome face had a mocking expression—as if he were looking at a clown.

This was the first time he had seen someone threaten him with fire.

Not to mention that he was currently in his soul state, ordinary fire could not burn him at all.

Even if he was in his physical body state, all the fire in the world combined could not touch him.

Yan Xi looked at the motionless black bracelet, and she was more and more sure that the strange sound came from the bracelet.

Moreover, the flames did not seem to work on the other party. At least, the other party was not threatened at all.

Yan Xi touched her chin, and the next second, a cunning light flashed in her dark eyes.

She said to the black bracelet, “Forget it. It’s boring to burn it on a candle. I’ll just throw it into the manure pit.”

Yan Xi stood up and pretended to go out. “Which manure pit is good? I think there’s one a few hundred meters away from here. Human waste, pig waste, cow waste, and sheep waste are usually poured into it. The smell is the strongest thing in the world—”

Before Yan Xi could finish her sentence, an exasperated voice was heard, “Don’t you dare!”

Within the bracelet, the golden-eyed man was so angry that his hair stood on end. His eyes were practically shooting flames.

Although he was in the inner space of the bracelet, even if the bracelet was thrown into a manure pit, it would not affect him. However, as long as he thought about living in a manure pit, he felt nauseated.

He used to roam the world and travel across the four seas, but this was the first time someone had threatened to throw him into a manure pit.

“You’re finally willing to speak?” Yan Xi raised her brows and sat lazily on the bed.

Of course, she would not really throw the bracelet into the manure pit. After all, it was the only thing her father had left her.

“Hmph!”

Yan Xi heard the sound that seemed to come from all directions again.

The voice sounded different each time. It was ever-changing, and Yan Xi could not guess the other person’s identity from their voice alone.

Yan Xi did not mind his attitude. “Who are you? Why are you in the bracelet my father gave me?”

An old and majestic voice that seemed to come from the heavens sounded. “My name is also yours…”

“Manure pit,” Yan Xi threatened expressionlessly.

This time, it was a low and magnetic male voice tinged with a little anger.

“…Blazing Dawn… Or, Chi Li, in your language.”

Chi Li, who had once dominated the universe, finally tasted the taste of extreme defeat.

It was as if he had met his nemesis and was being controlled.

“Sigh, wouldn’t it have been better to cooperate from the start?” Yan Xi sighed and continued to ask, “Why are you in my bracelet? When did you come here?”

“Your bracelet?” Perhaps it was because the scar had healed and she had forgotten the pain, but the voice in Yan Xi’s mind became disdainful and arrogant again. “I’ve lived in this bracelet for ten thousand years, much longer than the time you’ve had the bracelet.”

Yan Xi blinked. “Are you saying that the bracelet is yours?”

Chi Li snorted. “It’s obvious, little girl.”

Yan Xi thought for a moment, then covered the bracelet with her hand and began to harness her spiritual power into it

Not long after, Chi Li felt a pulling force and was immediately frightened. “What are you doing, ugly girl?”

“I was just trying to see if my contract with it was still there,” Yan Xi said. The original body had accidentally spilled blood on it when she was young and was recognized as its master by the iron bracelet.

However, she did not know why, but she could not control the bracelet.

Yan Xi shook her wrist, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved into a smile. “Old demon, from the test just now, the owner of the iron bracelet is still me. You said that you’ve been in there for several millennia, but you didn’t make it recognize you as its master. There’s only one possibility, and that’s that you can’t. When I first threatened you, you didn’t show up or make a move. I can guess that you are either trapped in the iron bracelet or you are afraid of something and can only stay in the bracelet. Just now, when I tried to drive you out of the bracelet, you resisted, which means that it was the second possibility. To sum it up, did you offend someone and can only hide in here? Or does this bracelet give you some sort of power, leading you to be reluctant to leave? Or perhaps it’s a mix of both possibilities?”

Chi Li, who was in the iron bracelet, gasped.

This little girl could surprisingly deduce so much with just a little bit of information?

Moreover, her guess was almost on the mark!

“You’re right. I’m just a wisp of a soul, and I can’t go out.” After being exposed, Chi Li could not be bothered to hide it anymore. His voice, which had turned into that of a young man, sounded nonchalant.

He was only left with a soul now. The bracelet could nourish his soul and hide his aura at the same time. Thus, his soul would not be discovered by his enemies. That was why he had been living inside it for so long.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and a red and gold light flashed through his bright golden eyes. “So what? Even if I’m just a soul now, if I go out, I can easily deal with you. Besides, if my enemies find out about me, do you think that a good-for-nothing like you, who can’t cultivate, will be able to stay out of trouble?”
