Chapter 76

Listen to him, he wouldn't want to do that here, right?

Liu Yunshi timidly looked at Chen Dasheng's face, which was so close to hers. Her face turned red all the way to her ears, her breathing quickened, and her heart raced. She even felt a faint, tiny sense of anticipation, hoping that those thick lips would press against her own.

"Ah... Ah... Harder, harder!"

"Quick, quick, oh, oh..."

"Slap, slap, slap..."

...

Just then, a woman's shouts faintly reached her ears, bringing Liu Yunshi back to reality. Chen Dasheng immediately climbed off her, his ears perking up in confusion. "What's that sound?"

Liu Yunshi blushed and said, "Next door, a couple just moved in today!"

Liu Yunshi wasn't stupid; the sounds were so bold and wanton, they were definitely doing that.

Seeing Liu Yunshi's blushing face, Chen Dasheng felt a bit awkward. He had thought someone was watching a movie and forgot to turn off the sound, but it turned out they were practicing in real life. They were really letting loose, shouting so loudly.

The neighborhood was densely populated, with old buildings from the last century that had no elevators. The previous owners had moved to high-end neighborhoods, and this place was generally rented to migrant workers or students who didn't want to stay on campus. The population was very fluid, with all sorts of people.

The house, though newly renovated, had poor soundproofing. A sneeze from next door could be heard clearly. Previously, three girls who worked in a hotel lived next door, but they moved out half a month ago. Who would have thought that such an unusual couple would move in now.

"Maybe they don't know the house isn't soundproof. I'll remind them!" Chen Dasheng, sweating, walked to the balcony and looked over. The curtains were half-open, but the angle prevented him from seeing inside. However, the room was lit, and the sounds coming from inside were unbearable.

Liu Yunshi blushed, not responding to Chen Dasheng. The sounds in her ears made her face flush, and she felt a tingling sensation, as if something was stirring inside her.

"Hey, neighbors, keep it down!" Chen Dasheng shouted, his voice echoing through the neighborhood.

The shouting from next door immediately stopped. With Chen Dasheng's keen hearing, he could clearly hear the whispers from the room next door, but he had no interest in eavesdropping on what the couple was saying.

"Hey, don't stop, keep going!"

"Damn, who called for a stop?"

"Hey, change positions and keep going, my pants are off."

...

Finally, it quieted down. Just as Chen Dasheng was about to turn back into the living room, a commotion came from upstairs and downstairs.

Chen Dasheng stumbled and looked over. Damn, how perverted could people be? So many people were peeping. The guy on the third floor even had a military-grade telescope. How lonely must he be?

This time, he had angered the crowd. Listening to the curses from upstairs and downstairs, a small part was scolding the couple for disturbing their rest, but the majority was scolding Chen Dasheng for being meddlesome. Chen Dasheng's face twitched, and he quickly retreated.

"Damn you all! Go home and watch your uncle screw your mother!" A fierce female voice tore through the night. The woman who had been shouting earlier walked to the window and pulled the curtains shut with a snap.

After a chorus of boos and laughter, the neighborhood returned to peace.

Chen Dasheng and Liu Yunshi looked at each other. Liu Yunshi's face was as red as a peach. Seeing Chen Dasheng's awkward expression, she couldn't help but giggle, covering her mouth.

"Still laughing!" Chen Dasheng rolled his eyes at Liu Yunshi. "In the future, wear more clothes in the living room, so the peeping toms from the opposite building can't see you."

Liu Yunshi immediately rolled her eyes back at him. "When have I ever worn too little? It's you who often wanders around in your underwear. The guy across the street might have been eyeing you."

"Are you asking for a beating?" Chen Dasheng grabbed Liu Yunshi, pressed her down, and smacked her bottom twice. "Apologize and sing 'Conquer' for me!"

Her perfect, large bottom felt great to the touch, making one think of all sorts of things.

"Bad guy!"

Feeling the assault, Liu Yunshi let out a soft cry, blushing furiously. She struggled to her feet and pinched Chen Dasheng's thigh with all her might before covering her face and running back to her room, her face red with embarrassment.

Looking at the door that slammed shut, the soft touch still lingered on his fingertips, making him feel entranced. Chen Dasheng chuckled, thinking of Liu Xiaomin and Han Ruoxue, finding it hard to choose.

That day had been exhausting. Chen Dasheng took a quick shower and returned to his room, lying in bed for a long time, his mind filled with the events of the day, unable to sleep.

He turned on the lamp, sat up, and picked up the Dragon Ascension Fist manual he had found that day, ready to study it. His fingers suddenly touched something.

"Clang!"

A sharp sound made Chen Dasheng's heart skip a beat. He looked over the edge of the bed and saw the bracelet he had placed on the nightstand spinning on the floor tiles.

"Damn, did it break?"

Chen Dasheng quickly picked up the bracelet and examined it under the light. Although it wasn't valuable, he still wanted to return it to Han Ruoxue someday. If it broke, that would be a problem.

"Huh?"

The bracelet hadn't broken when it hit the ground. Instead, the gold-like surface had chipped off in several places, revealing a "plastic layer" underneath.

Chen Dasheng was puzzled. The plastic layer was crystal clear and had a lustrous, jade-like appearance. He couldn't believe it was made of plastic.

It was heavy, not light like plastic, and it had made a metallic sound when it hit the ground. What kind of plastic could make a sound like metal?

With his doubts, Chen Dasheng strongly suspected that the three experts might have been wrong. He held the jade bracelet and examined it for a long time, frowning slightly. "If it's really plastic, it should break easily, right? I'll just break it and see."

Driven by curiosity, Chen Dasheng decided to break the bracelet to see what was inside. If it was plastic, it would be easy to fix.

He grabbed the bracelet with both hands and tried to break it.

"Hmm?"

He couldn't break it. Chen Dasheng's face showed a hint of surprise. He increased his strength and tried again.

Two tries, no break. Three tries, no break!

The bed creaked, and Chen Dasheng used all his strength, his teeth gritted and his eyes bulging, but he still couldn't break the bracelet.

"Damn, what is this thing made of? How can it be so strong?"

At this moment, Chen Dasheng realized the bracelet was extraordinary. After inheriting the strength of the Juling Clan, he was already known for his power, and with the assistance of his inner strength, he had used several thousand pounds of force. Even if it were real jade, it would have broken in half. Yet, this bracelet remained intact, which was truly strange.

He examined the bracelet again, focusing on the three symbols. To deceive Han Ruoxue, he had lied, saying the symbols meant "Gift to Yunu." Even the experts didn't know if they were actual characters.

Now, Chen Dasheng's face showed a strange expression. "These three symbols look familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen them. Strange, truly strange."

His curiosity fully piqued, Chen Dasheng was determined to figure out what this thing was. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

He got up, placed the bracelet vertically on the ground, and held it with one hand. Using both hands to break it was the wrong approach, so he changed his stance. Even if it were made of hardened steel, he was confident he could shatter it with one palm.

He gathered his strength, supporting the bracelet with his left hand and focusing all his power in his right palm.

"Break!"

He gritted his teeth and slapped the bracelet with all his might.

"Bang!"

"Ouch..."

After the loud sound, Chen Dasheng immediately clutched his hand, jumping up in pain. It felt like he had slapped a nail.

"Damn!"

He looked at his right hand and saw a large cut on his palm, blood gushing out and staining half of his palm red.

He looked down at the bracelet, which was mostly embedded in the floor tiles, still intact, with a piece of bloody flesh hanging from it.

"Damn!"

The pain made Chen Dasheng curse. What the hell was this thing? He had used his inner strength, yet it was still so strong. Looking at his injured right hand, he felt like crying.

"Huh?"

As he was about to tend to his wound, his gaze fell on the bracelet, and he froze. The few drops of blood on the bracelet had disappeared in an instant.

"Can't be that weird, right?" Chen Dasheng's curiosity was piqued. He squatted down, full of doubt, and grabbed the part of the bracelet that was exposed, intending to pull it out and examine it.

"Ah!"

As soon as his fingers touched the bracelet, Chen Dasheng was horrified to find that he was being sucked in. Blood flowed from his wound toward the bracelet, which seemed to act like a giant leech, absorbing the blood as soon as it touched. Not only that, but the bracelet was also absorbing the inner strength stored in his dantian.
