After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: You Yi Sent Her a Gift

"...Demon Hunter?"

Lu Sheng couldn’t help but be stunned, repeating the three words once again.

The girl’s reaction was clearly within You Yi’s expectations.

After all, in the cognition of ordinary humans, things like demons or ghosts don’t exist in this world; surprise or misunderstanding is normal.

"Yes," You Yi nodded, explaining, "The mission of my family through the generations has been to catch demons, and indeed, there are demons in this world."

"Those demons that have cultivated their souls to be quite powerful can possess human bodies."

"They appear no different from humans, yet they use Soul Power to commit evil deeds and harm innocent people."

"The existence of Demon Hunters is to eradicate these demons and maintain peace in the Human Realm."

Of course, Lu Sheng knew that there were demons in the world and that You Yi was a Demon Hunter.

It’s just that she didn’t expect You Yi to suddenly talk to her about this.

"I have to leave Jiang City tonight, I’m heading to Beijing because my senior brother told me that more than one powerful demon is active there."

"Some demons can quietly extract the Essence from humans; those whose Essence is extracted might not feel it, but their bodies will become weaker and weaker, or they’ll fall into some illness, and eventually die when the oil is spent and the lamp dies out."

"So if a demon transforms into a human and lies in wait beside humans, it is a very dangerous matter."

Saying so, You Yi’s eyebrows and eyes appeared even more handsome and resolute, looking at Lu Sheng with a serious expression, "There are demons in Beijing, and there are also demons in Jiang City."

"It’s just that some have Soul Power that is not strong enough to be detected by my instruments. Others intentionally avoid the pursuit of Demon Hunters and hide their tracks very well."

"What happened today, causing you to get hurt...I mean, you getting hurt during my class, I feel very guilty."

"So, before leaving, I want to give you something to express a bit of my apology."

Saying this, You Yi took out something from his trouser pocket and placed it in his palm.

Lu Sheng peered at it and saw that what You Yi had taken out was a red jade bracelet with a silver bell dangling amongst the jade beads.

The bracelet looked quite exquisite, the red jade warm and delicate, and the bell looked small and exquisite, with a certain pattern intricately carved onto it.

Lu Sheng recognized at a glance that the pattern carved on the bell was Bai Ze, a divine beast from China’s mythology that can repel evil and exorcise ghosts.

"This bracelet is..." Lu Sheng looked up at You Yi.

"This bracelet is just a regular red jade bracelet, however, this bell is called the Death Seeking Bell." You Yi said while handing the bracelet to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng took the bracelet, and when her fingertips touched the bell, she realized it was hollow inside.

A hollow bell means no matter how the bell shakes, it won’t make a sound.

"The Death Seeking Bell is one of the Magic Artifacts of our family and normally it does not make any sound," noticing Lu Sheng’s confusion, You Yi explained.

"But if a demon approaches you, or if a demon tries to exert Soul Power on you to do something that harms you, this bell will immediately sense it and start to ring."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng was somewhat astonished.

If the bell really has such an effect, why does it not make a sound when it’s near her?

You Yi continued: "Your intelligence, talent, and capabilities are among the top in humans, which means you are the kind of human with the highest quality Essence in the eyes of demons."

"I’m giving you this bracelet because firstly, the red jade has been blessed to ward off evil, and secondly, the Death Seeking Bell can protect you."

"If you ever get targeted by some demon later, and it tries to harm you causing the bell to ring, immediately contact me, and I will come to help you."

After finishing, You Yi handed over a business card.

The pure white business card only had the name [You Yi] printed on it along with a series of mobile numbers, just like the uncomplicated and neat style of the man in front of her.

"...Mr. You, this item is too valuable, I can’t accept it."

Lu Sheng wanted to return the bracelet to You Yi, but You Yi pushed it back to her, his expression earnest: "Please keep it, even if you don’t use it, it’s fine to just put it away."

"I know Lu Sheng doesn’t lack money, giving you something that can’t be bought with money makes me feel a bit more at ease."

"Now that I’ve expressed my apologies and delivered the gift, I’ll be leaving first."

You Yi glanced at Lu Sheng, his gaze as focused as when they first met today.
