Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 700

Fade continued, "For martial artists to improve, they need to absorb universe energy from nature to strengthen their bodies."

"However, there are all kinds of energies in the world. There are not only natural energies that can strengthen the body but also auras that will harm the body."

"And that black gas is one of them and it's known as death energy."

"Death energy?" Susie was horrified when she heard the name.

Fade comforted her, "Death energy sounds terrible but in fact, it's not that bad. After the death of human beings and animals, the dead body will produce death energy. However, in general, the energy would not be present in a large amount and will disappear soon after, so it has no effect on human beings."

"However, the death energy in this hall is very strong and it is trapped in the Buddha so it can't dissipate. Therefore, when people come here, they can clearly tell that the hall is colder than outside."

"Once the body inhales too much death energy, it will cause serious harm to the body. In a bestcase scenario, one would feel weak and moody and have frequent nightmares. Yet, in a worstcase scenario, it may cause one to lose their minds and their body would turn cold before they eventually die."

Upon hearing this, Susie was petrified. She quickly exhaled a few breaths, as if she wanted to exhale all the death energy that she had inhaled.

Fade held her hand after noticing that and reassured her, "Don't worry. You haven't been in the hall for too long and I've transferred some positive energy to you. Therefore, those few breaths of death energy won't have any effect on you."

Following that, she breathed a sigh of relief. However, her face darkened again when she peered down at the bracelet and she asked, "Is the black aura on the bracelet death energy too?" Fade nodded and replied, "Yes."

Next, Fade stared at her and added solemnly, "Sister Song, I want to know who gave you this bracelet. You mentioned that it was a friend of yours? How did she get this bracelet?"

Susie paused for a moment and answered, "This bracelet was given to me by Loren An. She's my friend." "Loren!" Fade's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name and continued, "Is it the one who became famous from the singing contest a few years ago?" "Yes, it's her," Susie nodded and explained, "I'm in the same company with Sister Loren and she's my senior. She has been taking care of me ever since I joined the company."

"She gave me this bracelet a month ago because I was struggling with my new album. She gave me the bracelet saying that she got it from a famous monk in the north."

Hearing this, Fade's face turned cold and he commented, "It was undoubtedly Loren. She did not give you this bracelet out of kindness."

"But Sister Loren has always been very kind to me. I don't think she would..." Susie tried to defend Loren and she could not accept the truth.

Fade shook his head and replied, "Sister Song, you may know her but you don't know her real intentions."

"Sister Loren probably wouldn't. We've known each other for five or six years," Susie insisted. They had a close relationship and Susie could not believe that Loren would hurt her. "Maybe she didn't know that there was death energy in this bracelet. Perhaps the death energy just accidentally contaminated the bracelet?" she asked.

Fade stared at her and replied earnestly, "Sister Song, I know that you can't accept this but I can tell you that the death energy on the bracelet wasn't an accidental contamination. It won't be so strong if it was an accident. Someone must have deliberately injected death energy into the bracelet."

"This... This..." Susie's face turned pale.

Fade continued, "Besides, Sister Song, think about it yourself. After Loren gave you the bracelet, did she say that she would take you here? Also, wasn't she the one who recommended you to come here?" Susie's face turned as white as sheet after she heard this. There was no doubt that Fade was right.

The previous day, she and Fade had planned to visit a lot of places. That night, she told Loren about it when she was resting in the hotel. As a result, Loren told Susie that she had been to Bay City before and knew a good place called Scarlet Spirit Temple. Loren had strongly recommended that Susie go and have a look.

That was why Susie changed her plans and decided to visit Scarlet Spirit Temple.

Moreover, Susie thought about it carefully and realized that Loren had told her that the bracelet was a treasure from an eminent monk. Loren had reminded Susie time and time again to carry it with her at all times to ensure her safety.

However, Susie did not believe in Buddhism and it was inconvenient for her to carry the bracelet around with her when she participated in activities, thus she rarely brought the bracelet around with her. On some days where she wore them, Susie did not feel well and she would be very tired.

These were the little details that she never noticed them before and she slowly recalled them now that Fade pointed out to her. Susie was shocked and she muttered, "Does Sister Loren really wants to hurt me? But why did she do that? If she is dissatisfied, why won't she tell me in person?"

Fade put his arm gently around her shoulder to pat her back a few times and comforted her softly.

At the same time, Susie's mobile phone rang. She fished out her cell phone and noticed that it was a call from Loren.

Immediately, Susie's face turned pale and she almost threw her phone away.

Fade pinched her hand and said, "Sister Song, take a deep breath and calm down."

As he spoke, Fade quietly injected a few strokes of positive energy into Susie and she slowly relaxed.

Susie took a few deep breaths and picked up the phone. "Hello, Sister Loren," she answered.

"Susie, have you arrived at Scarlet Spirit Temple?" Sister Loren asked about the temple immediately after the call went through and that made Susie's face to sink.

However, Susie calmed herself down and said blandly, "We're almost there. Only a few hundred meters left. I can see the temple from here."

"That's great that you're arriving," Loren continued, "Susie, listen to me. The temple is not in a good shape but it's very spiritual, especially the Buddha statue in the hall, so you should pray."

Susie's face darkened again when Loren mentioned the Buddha statue and replied, "Well, I will."

On the other end of the line, Loren added, "By the way, did you take the Buddha beads with you? When you enter the hall later, you must bring the beads with you. They're from the high monk and it would yield a better result if you pray with it."

Initially, Susie was unwilling to believe that Loren would have ill intentions but Susie was growing suspicious after listening to Loren's unusual

remarks.

Susie resisted the urge to question Loren and merely said, "Yes, I will, Sister Loren. I've arrived at the gate of the temple."

"Well, that's great. I won't bother you anymore. Go ahead and pray," Loren replied.

"Well, Sister Loren, goodbye!" Susie bid farewell and hung up the phone. Her arms dropped to her side. She immediately turned blank as she was at a loss.
