A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 22 Children who listen to the chapter get candy.

Chao Bufan quickly asked, "Boss lady, I don't have anything valuable on me! What should I do?"

"Then leave the jade pendant around your neck!" Xu Gang said, his eyes fixed on the extraordinary jade pendant.

"But the jade pendant I'm wearing is just an ordinary piece, it's not worth much," Chao Bufan said innocently.

The chick standing nearby asked indignantly, "Even if it's worthless, it should still be enough for a breakfast, right?"

"Uh..." Chao Bufan almost fainted. This jade pendant, which had cost him over a hundred yuan from Falcon, was only worth the price of breakfast in their eyes. They really didn't know its value. After a moment's thought, he said, "Alright then! You can have it. But I have to make it clear that I've had this jade pendant since the moment I was born..."

"Damn it!" Chicken immediately cursed, "Kid, do you think you're Jia Baoyu? You think you were born with that kind of thing?!"

Chao Bufan said with a wry smile, "Brother, you didn't even let me finish speaking! Do you know how impolite it is to suddenly interrupt someone?"

"you--"

Chicken raised his foot to kick Chao Bufan, but the proprietress scolded him: "Chicken, what are you doing? Have you forgotten what I told you? Let him finish what he has to say."

Left with no other choice, the chick put its feet down, glared angrily at Chao Bufan, and then stood aside.

Chao Bufan grinned and said, "The landlady is the best. She's beautiful and understanding."

Hearing someone praise her like this for the first time, especially from such a blunt and foolish person, the landlady felt a surge of joy and said with a smile, "Alright, hurry up and tell me!"

Chao Bufan let out an "Oh," looking utterly foolish, and said, "Boss lady, it's like this, this jade pendant of mine was indeed with me since I was born. At that time, an old monk happened to be staying at my house, so my parents asked him to consecrate the jade pendant for me. Since then, this jade pendant has never left my neck. The old monk said that my jade pendant was very special, and no one else could touch it, or they would have bad luck. Only an extremely intelligent person could touch it. So far, apart from my parents, no one else has ever touched it."

Upon hearing this, the chick immediately retorted sarcastically, "Kid, are you telling a story? Who are you trying to fool?"

Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, then said seriously, "Brother, if you don't believe me, take it off and try it, and see if I'm lying to you."

Chicken sneered and said in a cold voice, "If it weren't for the rules of this shop, I would have slapped you to death. Give it to me!"

After saying that, Chicken grabbed the red string of the jade pendant around Chao Bufan's neck, trying to pull it off. However, the moment his hand touched the string, a strong electric current flowed from the jade pendant into his hand. He felt as if he had been electrocuted, his whole body trembled, and he quickly pulled his hand back. His entire arm felt numb. He immediately stared at the jade pendant around Chao Bufan's neck in shock and disbelief, thinking, "No way? Could this kid be telling the truth? Is this jade pendant really that strange?"

Seeing that Chick was suddenly standing there blankly, Xu Meng asked, "What's wrong? Why are you standing there like an idiot?"

The chick realized what was happening and quickly said, "Kid, take that down yourself, hurry up!"

Chao Bufan looked down at the rope binding him and said innocently, "Big brother, look, I'm tied up in all sorts of ways, how am I supposed to get it off!"

Without saying a word, Xu Meng reached out to take the jade pendant from Chao Bufan's neck. However, the moment his hand touched the jade pendant, he screamed as if he had been electrocuted, then collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

"don't want……"

The chick wanted to speak up and stop them, but it was too late.

"kindness?"

The sudden turn of events caused the proprietress and Xu Gang to widen their eyes in disbelief. Xu Gang, realizing what had happened, jumped up from the sofa and rushed to Xu Meng, helping him up and shouting, "Mengzi, Mengzi, what's wrong?"

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Xu Meng spat out two mouthfuls of saliva, pointed at Chao Bufan, and stammered incoherently, "Brother, he...he..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Meng's eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Xu Gang was terrified. He quickly held a finger to Xu Meng's nose and, sensing that his brother was still breathing, felt relieved. He then put his brother down and angrily said to Chao Bufan, "Boy, what did you do to my brother? Tell me!"

Xu Gang was about to strike when Chicken stopped him, blocking his way and saying urgently, "Brother, don't do anything rash! This kid isn't lying. That jade pendant on him is really supernatural. Mencius was stunned by that jade pendant, and my hand was also shocked by it; it's still numb!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Gang was immediately enraged and launched into a tirade against the chick: "Damn it, why didn't you stop Mencius?"

Chicken looked miserable and said, "Brother, is this my fault? I tried to stop it, but I didn't have time."

Tang Qianqian maintained a cold expression. Seeing Xu Gang and the others arguing, she knew it was Chao Bufan's doing. She gave a cold laugh, which Chao Bufan naturally overheard. He chuckled softly, "Miss Tang, if you don't want to be gang-raped, you'd better keep quiet. I'm not a good person, but I'm not some heinous villain either. If you keep talking to me like that, believe me, I'll get up right now and leave."

"you……"

Tang Qianqian was furious at Chao Bufan's words, but she was helpless. She knew that this guy was a man of his word and that he had the ability to do so, so she didn't dare to refute him. She snorted again and obediently kept quiet.

Chao Bufan laughed and said, "That's right! Obedient children usually get candy."

"you……"

"what!"

Chao Bufan chuckled and deliberately raised his voice, saying, "Big brother, I didn't lie to you, did I? I told you that no one else could touch this jade pendant I'm wearing, but you just wouldn't believe me. Now you've suffered the consequences, haven't you?"

"court death!"

Enraged, Xu Gang swung his hand and slapped Chao Bufan hard across the face. With a crisp "smack," Chick, who was standing to the side, stared blankly, head turned to the side, looking completely bewildered. After a moment, he reacted and roared angrily at Xu Gang: "Brother, why did you hit me?"

It turned out that Xu Gang's slap landed on the face of the chick next to him, and a handprint immediately appeared, red and swollen.
