Chapter 54 Eight Years of Blood Debt Comes to Claim a Life!
The luxurious banquet hall was brightly lit and the crystal chandeliers were so dazzling that they made people dizzy.
Guests clinked glasses with champagne, exchanging toasts amidst the insincerity and politeness of high society.
Lin Yushi hid in a corner, watching Xu Yunfeng rubbing his hands together, ready to cause trouble for Lu Jingchen.
She panicked instantly and rushed forward to grab his arm tightly.
Lin Yushi lowered her voice, her face pale with anxiety: "Xu Yunfeng, are you crazy? Don't go looking for trouble!"
"I advise you not to underestimate them."
"He's a ruthless character who can easily bully Lei Hu!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfeng froze instantly and gasped.
Xu Yunfeng was utterly shocked, his face filled with disbelief: "What? Lei Hu?"
"Is that the Mad Tiger who runs the nightclubs in Jiangcheng?"
"This kid has such a big background? You're not kidding me, are you?"
Xu Yunfeng's eyes darted around, and his gaze fell on Xia Wanxing, who was not far away.
A wicked smile instantly curled at the corner of his mouth.
He shook off Lin Yushi's hand and quickly moved to Xia Wanxing's side.
He pretended to be a curious child and spoke with a playful smile.
Xu Yunfeng: "Cousin, can I talk to you about something?"
"Why don't you open the gift your friend just gave you and take a look?"
"He said this thing could save your life, and I'm quite curious about what kind of treasure it is."
Xia Wanxing looked at the small wooden box she was holding with a suspicious expression.
Feeling a bit curious, I casually opened the box.
In the close-up shot, a jade pendant lies quietly inside the gift box.
The carving is exquisite, the shimmering light and color, and it even exudes a warm and spiritual aura. It is clearly not an ordinary piece.
Xu Yunfeng leaned over and glanced at it, then immediately turned his nose in the air with disdain.
Xu Yunfeng scoffed, "Tch, I thought it was some rare treasure."
"After all that, it's just a broken rock, the kind of thing you can get for ten yuan for three at a street stall."
"They dare to claim they can save lives? They're just fooling people."
Xia Wanxing completely ignored his nonsensical ramblings, her eyes filled with undisguised affection.
She carefully took out the jade pendant, put it directly around her neck, and placed it close to her body.
She felt a sweet warmth in her heart; this was a gift made by Lu Jingchen himself, more precious than any designer handbag.
Xia Wanxing gently stroked the jade pendant on her chest, like a happy little rabbit.
She ran up to Lu Jingchen and happily twirled around.
Xia Wanxing's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation: "Brother, look!"
"Does this jade pendant look good on me?"
Seeing her happy expression, Lu Jingchen smiled and nodded.
Lu Jingchen: "It looks good on you, it suits you perfectly."
Lu Qingyuan, standing beside her, looked at the jade pendant, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.
Lu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Wanxing, I'm not just bragging."
"You look so much more radiant after wearing this jade pendant!"
"My brother's skills are unmatched by most people."
Xia Wanxing was so flattered that she couldn't stop smiling, her cheeks turning as red as a ripe apple.
She secretly glanced at Lu Jingchen, feeling as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Just then, on the stage not far away, Shen Tuohai straightened his suit.
He waved to Xia Wanxing with a loving expression, his voice full of energy.
Shen Tuohai shouted, "Ranran, come here quickly!"
Xia Wanxing quickly responded, lifted the hem of her evening gown, and ran towards her parents on the stage.
Shen Tuohai smiled, took his daughter's hand, turned to face all the guests, and beamed with joy.
Shen Tuohai spoke loudly: "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules."
"Come to my daughter Wanxing's 18th birthday party!"
The audience erupted in applause, and the guests offered their congratulations with smiles.
Lu Jingchen stood in the crowd, a faint smile still on his face.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed sharply, and his face instantly darkened.
In the close-up shot, Lu Jingchen's eyes suddenly changed, and his aura instantly turned cold.
He could clearly sense an extremely unique fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from the storage ring.
Moreover, the fluctuations were getting stronger and stronger, as if they were about to explode.
Lu Jingchen immediately turned his head and spoke in a deep voice to Lu Qingyuan beside him.
Lu Jingchen: "Sis, stay here for now and don't wander off."
"I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."
Lu Qingyuan hadn't even had a chance to ask what happened.
Lu Jingchen had already turned around, quickly squeezed through the crowd, and walked outside.
Their footsteps were as fast as the wind, and they disappeared in an instant.
Lu Jingchen avoided the patrolling security guards and strolling guests along the way.
They circled around to a deserted corner in the backyard of the Shen family villa. It was pitch black there, without even a streetlamp.
With a thought, Lu Jingchen began to channel spiritual energy throughout his body.
His figure vanished instantly, disappearing directly into his storage ring space.
The space inside the storage ring was filled with dazzling light, and the spiritual energy was dozens of times denser than that outside.
The enormous golden egg that had swallowed countless spirit stones of his was hovering in the center of the air.
Lu Jingchen strode to the golden egg and stared intently at the surface of the eggshell.
His eyes were wide open, and he even held his breath.
Lu Jingchen muttered to himself, "What? No way?"
"Could it be that this gold-devouring beast is about to hatch?"
In a close-up shot, the originally smooth surface of the golden egg is revealed.
A tiny crack suddenly appeared, and a dazzling golden light was faintly seeping out from it.
Moreover, the crack is slowly widening at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The golden egg was still vibrating slightly and emitting a buzzing sound, as if it had come to life.
Lu Jingchen was both surprised and delighted. This was a treasure that he had spent half a box of spirit stones to raise.
It's finally going to hatch! At least we didn't lose too much this time!
He was about to lean closer to take a closer look at the situation inside the crack.
A thunderous roar suddenly came from outside, causing the entire storage space to tremble slightly.
The voice was extremely fierce, filled with overwhelming resentment, and its echo reverberated throughout the entire space.
A voice-over roars, "Shen Tuohai!"
"The eighteen-year period is up! It's time for you to fulfill your promise and repay your debt!"
Lu Jingchen suddenly looked up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and his killing intent instantly dissipated.
His heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.
The voice carried a strong murderous aura and a sinister presence; it was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Moreover, judging from this, they're targeting the Shen family, and Xia Wanxing is still in the banquet hall!
The golden egg is about to hatch, and this is the most crucial time.
With this incident happening outside, Lu Jingchen made a decision instantly.
He took one last look at the golden egg, and with a thought, he instantly exited the storage space.
Back in a corner of the Shen family's backyard, he looked coldly toward the banquet hall.
He wanted to see what kind of monsters and demons dared to cause trouble right under his nose.
