Chapter 314: Chapter 312: Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant [Second Update]

The girl glanced at herself, she was indeed straddling Li Chen in a rather indecent position.

Immediately, her pretty face flushed with shame, and she hurriedly got down.

As she got up, Li Chen casually pulled a jade pendant from her bosom.

The jade pendant was crystal clear, with a lifelike golden dragon carved on it, evidently an extraordinary item.

"Give it back to me!"

Seeing her jade pendant snatched by Li Chen, the girl reached out to grab it back.

Li Chen casually raised his hand and slapped it on the girl’s delicate, jade-like wrist.

The girl winced in pain and retracted her hand as if electrocuted.

Her eyes widened in anger, and she angrily exclaimed: "This is my item, give it back to me now!"

Li Chen shook his head and asked with a smile, "I doubt that. This item seems like it was stolen, wasn’t it?"

"Hmph, none of your business, give it back to me!" the girl said and reached out to snatch it again, but missed.

Li Chen toyed with the jade pendant in his hand and said with a mischievous smile, "Why should I return something I took fair and square?"

"How despicable, you..."

Shen Xingchen had lived for twenty years but had never encountered someone as shameless as Li Chen.

"I’m fine, you should get going. Otherwise, I might have to call for help!"

Hearing Li Chen mention calling for "help," Shen Xingchen felt confused.

"What, you’re going to call for help?"

Li Chen flashed her a mysterious smile and shouted towards the departing carriage where the dark-faced man was: "Hey, a bunch of idiots. The female thief you’re looking for is here, why don’t you come catch her!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s shout, Shen Xingchen glared at him furiously.

Then, seeing the dark-faced man pursuing her, she no longer cared about Li Chen and ran towards another carriage.

The dark-faced man passed by Li Chen, glanced his way,

saw Li Chen lying contentedly in his berth sleeping, hesitated for a moment, then chased after the thief Shen Xingchen again.

Seeing they had all gone, Li Chen started toying with the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant in his palm.

The dragon pattern on the jade pendant was lifelike, with faint traces of blood at its center.

Li Chen murmured to himself in surprise, "This seems like True Dragon Blood Essence. Could it be that true dragons really existed on Earth?"

Just as he hesitated, the voice of a train conductor came from the connection of the carriages.

Li Chen, not wanting to attract trouble, swiftly crushed the Invisibility Talisman and rendered himself invisible.

The elderly conductor approached Li Chen’s berth, looked around puzzledly, and muttered, "Strange, where did he go? He was just here a moment ago."

"Little Wang, go check in the bathroom!"

A young conductor answered casually and started heading towards the bathroom.

However, he found nothing.

Li Chen glanced sideways and saw the whole group of the dark-faced man, all detained by the arriving conductors for causing trouble.

Thief Shen Xingchen was nearby, crying and wiping her tears, looking as if she had just been serially abused by these bad guys. Her acting skills were so exquisite that if she went into show business, winning an Oscar would be a piece of cake.

The old conductor searched around but couldn’t find any trace of Li Chen.

Then, he approached Shen Xingchen and pointed to Li Chen’s berth, asking her, "Young lady, where is your boyfriend? Why has he disappeared?"

Shen Xingchen wiped a tear in pretense and said her "boyfriend" was cowardly and selfish, and had likely run off leaving her behind.

As she cursed, she burst into loud crying again. However, it was all for show, as she couldn’t squeeze out a single tear despite trying.

Listening to Shen Xingchen indirectly scolding him, Li Chen was internally speechless. No wonder Mr. Kong said, "Only villains and women are difficult to raise."

Five minutes later, the station announcement sounded, saying that Guangling City was approaching soon and asked all disembarking passengers to prepare to get off.

Li Chen saw that the Invisibility Talisman was about to wear off. He squeezed to the carriage door, and as soon as the train came to a halt, he jumped off.

The dark-faced man, after being subdued by the conductor, immediately called his boss Xu Jinlong to report that the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant had been stolen by a young man and woman. Moreover, they might currently be within Guangling City.

Upon receiving this news, Xu Jinlong clenched his teeth in rage and immediately gathered the elite forces of his family to hunt down the man and woman who stole the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant throughout the city.

Meanwhile, Shen Xingchen, having successfully escaped thanks to her superb acting skills, was urgently contacting her senior sister to inform her of the loss of the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant.

She was a member of the Swallow Sect!

The Swallow Sect is a heroic thieves organization in the worldly society, founded by the Great Grandmaster of the Republic, Swallow Li San.

Li San and his fellow disciples, known for their light and swift Cultivation Technique, specialized in assassinating corrupt officials, brutal tyrants, and traitorous collaborators, enjoying unmatched fame for a while.

However, after Li San was bombarded to death by the Beiyang Warlords, Swallow Sect declined from its glory and became a third-rate sect.

After the establishment of the new Huaxia, they showed signs of revival. But their resurgence was short-lived, submerged in the raging waves of the people’s war.

Only in the new century did they reappear in the worldly society.

Stealing the Dragon Pattern Jade Pendant was their biggest venture since re-emerging, and also the debut task of the newcomer Shen Xingchen.

But unexpectedly, Li Chen appeared out of nowhere, causing her efforts to be in vain.

"Damned bastard, if I catch you, I’ll gouge your eyes out and stomp them into bubbles, or I’m not Shen Xingchen!" she seethed after hanging up the phone, clenching her fists in fury.

However, just as she made this poisonous vow, she was shocked to find several burly men with ill intentions converging towards her.

Sensing danger, Shen Xingchen ran for it.

At first, these men were not sure if Shen Xingchen was the person they were looking for, but seeing her act guilty confirmed their suspicions, and they quickly chased after her.

"Help! Bad people are trying to molest me!" As Shen Xingchen ran, she screamed for help from the passersby.

Seeing her beauty, some passersby wanted to play the hero and save her.

But when they saw the massive burly men chasing her, they instinctively stopped in their tracks.

The dark-faced man glared fiercely at them and roared, "Step aside! This is Lord Long’s business!"

Hearing the name "Lord Long," those who thought to "play the hero" were stricken with terror and scattered like the receding tide.

Witnessing this, Shen Xingchen cursed, "Men are all good for nothing!" and continued her run into the streets.

Not being a local, she was unfamiliar with the streets here. Just two blocks away, she accidentally ran into a dead-end alley and got cornered.

The dark-faced man spat a lump of disgusting phlegm on the ground, pointed at Shen Xingchen and yelled, "You little wench, you were running quite fast, huh? Keep running now, run!"

"Brother Three, this little wench looks pretty delicate, just the type for us to have some fun!"

"Exactly, such a delicate girl, must taste really fresh!"

"Brother Three, you go first, have a blast!"

...

Hearing these ruffians’ filthy talk, the newbie from the worldly society, Shen Xingchen, turned pale with fear and her legs started to tremble.

"Don’t, don’t you come closer!"

The dark-faced man smirked, demanding, "Little wench, better spill it—where’s the jade pendant? Otherwise, we won’t be so gentle!"

Feigning extreme fear, Shen Xingchen stuttered, "The jade pendant isn’t with me, it’s with my boyfriend!"

Upon learning the whereabouts of the jade pendant, the dark-faced man eagerly asked, "And where’s your boyfriend?"

Just then, Shen Xingchen’s eyes lit up with sudden joy.

"He’s right behind you!"

The dark-faced man laughed heartily, "Behind me? Ha, little wench, do you think I’m a three-year-old, so easily fooled?"

...

Tomorrow is Monday, may I timidly ask for a recommendation ticket? If not, then never mind. Well, good night!
