Chapter 46: Possessing superpowers?
Su Mengxue's raised arm froze in mid-air. She looked at the puppy that died tragically in front of her. The dazzling red light on its body turned gray in an instant, and then gradually dissipated.
While she felt sorry for the puppy, she also realized that the jade pendant had given her a special power. Her thoughts raced. If the gray light represented death, what about the glaring red light? Could it be a warning of danger?
After a brief moment of daze, she looked down at the jade pendant hanging around her neck.
It was because of this jade pendant that she traveled to this era. She was not too surprised by the newly awakened supernatural powers. After all, she had experienced such a bizarre thing as time travel, so there was nothing she could not accept.
Her mind was now preoccupied with wondering if the jade pendant had any other uses. Would others, if wearing it, also possess the same powers as she did? More importantly, how could she use the pendant to return to modern society?
"Are you scared?"
Just when she was lost in thought, Chen Yanzhi turned around and asked her. She looked at Chen Yanzhi and shook her head thoughtfully, still immersed in the jade pendant.
Chen Yanzhi looked at her dazed look and thought she was just pretending. Just when he was about to laugh at her, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that the car that rushed out was about to run away. He sat back in the driver's seat with a cold face, started the car quickly to stop the car, and got out of the car neatly by pushing the door.
When Su Mengxue came to her senses, Chen Yanzhi had already strode to the front of the car that caused the accident and rapped heavily on the window with his knuckles: "Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate? Get out of the car!"
The owner of the car came out angrily. Su Mengxue noticed that the owner was a young man about their age, and he was surrounded by green light.
Su Mengxue stared at the young man with her chin in her hand and began to think, if gray represents death and red light represents danger, what does green light represent?
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Chen Yanzhi, only then she realized that there was no light on him.
This left her somewhat bewildered. Why couldn't she sense it in Shen Yanzhi? The ability bestowed upon her by this jade pendant seemed to hold many unsolved mysteries. She couldn't help but frown.
…
The young man got out of the car cursing, and his expression changed rapidly after he saw who was coming. He put on a smile, nodded and said, "Brother Chen, what a coincidence!"
Chen Yanzhi didn't buy his tricks and said coldly, "Who the hell is your brother? Stop trying to get close to me. If I don't stop you, are you going to just walk away like this?"
"Brother Shen, I didn't mean to kill it. It's just a dog. What else can I do?"
"Bury the dog before you leave!"
The young man spread his hands and frowned, saying, "This dog is covered in blood and died so miserably! Brother Shen, please don't make things difficult for me!"
"You killed someone and you still want to walk away? If you don't bury me, do you believe I will bury you?"
Seeing that Chen Yanzhi was angry, the young man immediately became intimidated and responded with a smile: "Brother, don't be angry, I will bury it, I will bury it now."
After he finished speaking, he returned to the car and took out a shirt. He quickly walked to the puppy, turned his face away, and wrapped the puppy with the shirt with trembling fingers, as if holding a hot potato. He hurried to the open space on the side of the road, gritted his teeth and dug a hole with his bare hands.
When Su Mengxue saw the scene outside the car, she suddenly felt that although Chen Yan looked sloppy and unapproachable, he was not as cold as she thought.
Speak of the devil and he will appear. As she was muttering this, Chen Yanzhi opened the car door, got in and started the engine.
Su Mengxue's gaze fell on him again, staring straight at his back, trying to sense light from him, but found nothing.
In the rearview mirror, Chen Yanzhi caught a glimpse of her gaze, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, teasing: "Why? Are you attracted by my handsome face?"
Seeing him so narcissistic, Su Mengxue shifted her gaze to look out the window and replied lightly, "Chen Yanzhi, you think too much."
As soon as she finished speaking, she thought of the jade pendant and turned her gaze to him again, asking curiously: "Chen Yanzhi, have you ever worn this jade pendant before?"
"No, I originally intended to give it to someone as a gift, and I have kept it in the box ever since." Chen Yanzhi blurted out.
Su Mengxue had a flash of inspiration: Could it be that Chen Yanzhi didn't notice the strange phenomenon because he wasn't wearing the jade pendant? She looked at the busy road, suppressed her anxiety, and secretly made up her mind that after getting off the car, she must let him try it on.
She was eager to know whether this special ability was unique to her or whether she could possess it just by wearing the jade pendant.
Chen Yanzhi chatted with her in a haphazard manner, while Su Mengxue looked out the window, her mind full of thoughts about superpowers, and seemed a little perfunctory.
The car drove into the downtown area and the crowds of people gradually increased, but she did not sense any light from them. What was going on?
Just as her thoughts were drifting, Chen Yanzhi suddenly stopped the car by the roadside. Su Mengxue came to her senses and was about to ask him why he stopped suddenly, but she looked outside the car and found that Zhouji Tailor Shop was there.
Just as she was about to mention the jade pendant to Chen Yanzhi, Chen Yanzhi got out of the car first, so she had to get out after him.
As soon as she landed, Chen Yanzhi spoke up again, "To be honest, I bought this jade pendant for 200 yuan. We know each other, so how could I take advantage of you?"
After he finished speaking, he took out the money she had just given him from his trouser pocket, pulled out the two hundred-dollar bills, and stuffed the remaining money into her hand.
"Chen Yanzhi, we agreed on the price, and I paid it willingly. I can't accept this money." She was about to return the money to him.
Seeing that she was unwilling to accept it, Chen Yanzhi frowned and sneered, saying in a joking tone: "This little money is nothing to me, it will be of greater use to you."
He added, "Su Mengxue, please don't be moved. I'm mainly worried that this matter will get out and ruin my reputation."
These words did not sound good. Su Mengxue curled her lips. Although she looked disgusted, she felt that Chen Yanzhi really wanted to give it to her.
Since he was so generous, she simply accepted it. She smiled at Chen Yanzhi and said, "Chen Yanzhi, then I won't be polite to you." After that, she put the money into her pocket neatly.
Just then, two children running on the street accidentally bumped into Su Mengxue's elbow while chasing and playing. They stopped, apologized, and ran away again.
Su Mengxue rubbed her painful arm, and the moment she looked up, she suddenly saw that the two little boys were glowing orange. She was so shocked that she stood there.
"These kids are so naughty. Okay, go in. I'm going to go shopping in the department store."
"Wait a minute." Su Mengxue saw Chen Yanzhi was about to leave, and without thinking too much, she called out to him.
Chen Yanzhi suddenly turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and asked nonchalantly: "What? Are you reluctant to let me go?"
Su Mengxue walked up to him, pointed at the jade pendant on her body, and asked, "Can you put it on and let me see it?"
"All the things belong to you, why should I wear it?" Chen Yanzhi turned around impatiently, waved at her and strode forward.
Su Mengxue was anxious. She stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and with her other hand she took off the jade pendant from her neck. Before he could react, she stood on tiptoe and quickly put the jade pendant around his neck.
In the jeep not far away, Gu Yunting stared at the scene, his knuckles turning white. He could still tolerate the scene of Chen Yanzhi stuffing money into his pocket just now, but the intimacy of her tiptoeing close to Chen Yanzhi was like a thorn piercing his heart.
Wang Qi caught a glimpse of Gu Yunting's suddenly gloomy expression and followed his gaze. His back stiffened instantly. He swallowed hard and lowered his voice to test, "Captain, are you still going to look for Miss Su? What about the old man asking her to come home for dinner?"
