As far as Fu Qian was concerned, leaving a little demigod blood on Tan Ying's bracelet had been a spur-of-the-moment idea. He hadn't expected to discover anything in particular.
He had repeatedly confirmed at the time that although the bracelet had become a Supernatural Item, it wouldn't harm the wearer's health.
