Mei could kill instantly, but her mission today wasn't to kill. All she needed to do was obtain this bracelet. The closer Mei got to the bracelet, the more she felt a mysterious force calling to her, something beckoning her to come closer.

Mei's body seemed to be being controlled and bewitched. She quickly covered her head and pinched her temples, trying to calm herself down. Finally, she saw the protected bracelet.

The bracelet really did look like a snake. The more she looked at it, the more eerie and unsettling it seemed. The snake's head on the bracelet looked like it was moving and staring at her. Mei suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

She knew the call came from the bracelet. Could this bracelet have some connection to her? She immediately became cautious; this bracelet held some secret.

Mei gradually approached the bracelet. She casually picked a man who looked alright and leaned against him, placing her hand on his neck. Her fingernails were a little long. Mei gently scratched the back of the man's neck to seduce him, and the man looked at her with increasing infatuation.

“Honey, what’s your name? I’ve been in high society for years, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before.”

With a charming smile, she said, "Have I never seen such a handsome and charming man as you? Would you like to dance?"

Come here, baby.

She danced perfunctorily with the man, gracefully stepping to the slow, retro music. She seemed to be obsessed with dancing, her high heels scraping and stomping on the floor. She subtly led the man closer to the bracelet.

Completely oblivious, the man stared at her, infatuated, wanting to get closer to the beautiful snake and savor her sensuality. He couldn't resist extending his disgusting lips to kiss her. She subtly avoided him; she was getting closer and closer to the bracelet, a surge of excitement washing over her.

She hadn't expected to complete the task so easily today. She glanced at it several times out of the corner of her eye and noticed that the protection around the bracelet didn't seem that strong. There was an electric grid and a special tempered glass cover on the outside, and it was placed in a transparent box.

None of this posed a problem for Mei. Her operation hadn't been exposed this time; if it had, she would have been under much tighter guard. Four bodyguards patrolled the four corners around the bracelet. Mei stood a little too close, and the bodyguards gestured for them to move away.

Mei had experienced this scene countless times. A quick victory was the best policy. With lightning speed, she shook off the man and pushed him into the crowd.

Before the four bodyguards could react, Mei had already put on gloves. These specially made gloves were designed to penetrate the electric grid and retrieve what she wanted directly. As the number one assassin, she was not just a figurehead; she was also a person with superpowers.

Mei unleashed her supernatural power—a high-frequency, high-speed electronic cutting blade. As a lightning-based user, this was a unique skill she had developed. In an instant, she sliced ​​the glass in half, cutting it into a circle—a hole large enough for her to reach inside and retrieve her bracelet.

Mei took out the bracelet from inside. She used her speed to the extreme, and her lightning-fast figure instantly transformed into many clones. In an instant, she ran to the window outside the banquet hall. She leaned over to listen to the sounds inside. It was chaos inside. It seemed that she had succeeded today. She came and went without a trace, and these people would never be able to catch her.

The people at the banquet finally realized what was happening and rushed to give chase. The entire banquet was thrown into chaos, with security searching everywhere and all exits sealed off. Mei, perched on the upper floor outside the window, used a lasso hook to pull herself up to the wall, then leaped off the outer edge of the floor and disappeared into the night. Now they're sealing off the entire banquet? Too late.

These people are truly pathetic.

In all her years of operation, she had never failed. She returned home, staring intently at the bracelet, lost in thought. The bracelet also bore the character "Qi," her real name being Xuanyuan Qinu.

She had learned about this bracelet. It was quite special; the bracelet itself was shaped like a snake, depicted with remarkable realism. She had seen photos of it, and it was said that this bracelet could help women maintain their youth forever. She was somewhat skeptical, as it looked rather sinister. The bracelet was transparent, and the inner side of the bracelet, close to the skin, was flat, making it very suitable for wearing close to the skin.

This bracelet automatically wraps around a person's body, but its peculiarity lies in the fact that it only wraps around a woman's hand. On a man's hand, it hardens and becomes unyielding; no one can change its shape. This bracelet is somewhat malevolent; it can suck a person's blood.

Once a woman wears this bracelet, it will pierce a blood vessel in her wrist, causing the bracelet to change from transparent and filled with blood to completely red.

This bracelet, like her, carries an evil aura.

When she was five years old, she was given the name Xuanyuan Qinu. Her family had a special tradition: daughters born must have the character "Qi" in their names. If a daughter was born without the character "Qi," she would be cursed.

This woman did not live to be three years old.

If a girl were born with the character "Qi," she would live to a ripe old age and die naturally. This family did not trust ancestral secret rituals. There was a girl in the family whose name did not contain the character "Qi." This girl died at the age of one; she died shortly after being given that name.

The family records show that the names of all the women who lived to be seventy or eighty years old on the family tombstones contain the character "Qi," as if the family were cursed.
