Chapter 314: Chapter 311: Is the Resurrected Chen Xing a Devil?

They searched every inch of nightingale’s body, but found no jewelry whatsoever, let alone a necklace.

In fact, he had nothing on him at all.

”Where could he have hidden his necklace?” Hao Wenli wondered. It sounded like a question, but she was really just muttering to herself in confusion.

’He must have a space.’

’She saw him appear out of nowhere.’

Cheng Fang and Cadar stopped fighting and went to search the body as well.

Poor nightingale, severed into an upper and lower half, looking much the same as he did when he died over there.

When Chen Xing saw the three women searching nightingale’s body like a pack of hungry wolves, she instantly flung the electric current from her hand.

’She had originally planned for the nightingale of this life—with his superpower crippled and his space gone, unable to kill again—to live on peacefully.’

’But she was too late.’

The three women collapsed to the ground.

Chen Xing slowly walked over, squatted by nightingale’s feet, and was just about to reach out and take the necklace from beside his calf.

But unexpectedly, Hao Wenli’s hand shot out and instantly snatched an earring hidden on Chen Xing’s person.

Chen Xing was a beat too slow to react.

”I knew it! The treasure was on you all along!” Hao Wenli declared smugly. ”Chen Xing... don’t think I can’t recognize you just because you’re pretending to be Xing Yue!”

”What did you say?” Cheng Fang was even more shocked than Chen Xing. ”You’re saying she’s Chen Xing?”

’How is that possible?’

’With such an arrogant personality, how could she possibly be that weakling, Chen Xing?’

’But... if she really is Chen Xing, then she’s probably the one who stole my emerald ring.’

”I’ve known Chen Xing for more than a year or two. I’d recognize her even if she were burned to ashes!” Hao Wenli’s words were venomous, her expression arrogant.

’After all, out of so many people, she was the only one who had recognized Chen Xing.’

’She had no idea how Chen Xing had come back from the dead and gained so many superpowers.’

’What she did know was that Chen Xing had reappeared under a new identity most likely to steal the Green Gemstone Jewelry.’

”That’s impossible! I saw her die with my own eyes!” Cheng Fang was in disbelief.

’She was really on her last breath back then. Otherwise, I would never have risked telling her about the ring’s spatial ability.’

”Resurrection isn’t exactly a novelty in this day and age, is it?” Hao Wenli, on the other hand, found it acceptable.

’Aren’t zombies just what’s left after people die?’

Cadar stared intently at her earring in Hao Wenli’s hand.

She didn’t have time to wonder why Chen Xing had it.

All she knew was that she had to get it back.

While Hao Wenli was blathering on, Cadar leaped up and charged at her.

Along the way, she unleashed a pillar of fire straight at Hao Wenli’s head.

Hao Wenli dodged it with ease. A greatsword suddenly materialized in her hand, and she brutally cleaved the approaching Cadar in two.

Cheng Fang didn’t even dare to breathe.

’Hao Wenli used to be so weak. How did she suddenly get so strong?’

”Hao Wenli, I took good care of you! You can’t kill me!” Sensing that Hao Wenli was not someone to be crossed, Cheng Fang quickly tried to curry favor. ”When you had nothing to eat and were starving, I was the one who fed you.”

While the three of them were in chaos, Chen Xing took the opportunity to retrieve the necklace from nightingale’s leg and store it in her space.

Her movements were swift, and with the chaos unfolding, no one noticed what she was doing.

Hearing Cheng Fang’s words, Hao Wenli burst out laughing again. ”Cheng Fang, if you hadn’t mentioned that, I might have let you live! Just because of that little bit of food, you ordered me around like an empress and treated me like a serving girl. We both worked for the Research Institute. We were equals! But you spent all day acting so high and mighty. You have no idea how much of your shit I had to take!”

”I did not!” Cheng Fang had lost all her fight. ”We were supposed to be a team, weren’t we? This is all Chen Xing’s fault! If it weren’t for her, would we have starved together? Would you have misunderstood me like this?”

”Chen Xing?” At this moment, Hao Wenli’s attention shifted from Cheng Fang to Chen Xing. ”Give me the other earring, or I’ll make you wish you were dead!”

’I can’t believe she’s only carrying one of the earrings on her.’

Chen Xing was already on her feet. She had never imagined Hao Wenli would become this powerful.

’Not only does she have a Gold Attribute Superpower, but the ’house space’ is in her possession?’

’From the way she snatched the earring just now, I was certain the emerald bracelet was on her.’

’Only the ’house space’ has the ability to retrieve objects from a distance.’

’I’d only just thought of that possibility, so I took one of the earrings out of my space before coming in.’

’It was a precaution in case I underestimated Hao Wenli and she managed to take all the jewelry.’

”Why don’t you try me?” Chen Xing scoffed. In a flash, she leaped down to the street below and sprinted down the main road, heading out of the city.

The snow had stopped falling, but outside the city, it was already thigh-deep.

Hao Wenli was fast and followed close behind. Several hundred meters further back, Cheng Fang struggled to keep up.

”Chen Xing, I’m asking you nicely, so stop right now!” Hao Wenli was also nearing exhaustion. ”If I catch you, you’re dead!”

In a vast, snow-covered field, Chen Xing suddenly stopped and slowly turned around.

Hao Wenli didn’t know where Chen Xing found the confidence to face her with such an attitude. ”Hand over the earring and the ring...” She didn’t want to waste any more breath.

’If Chen Xing dares to take another step, I’ll kill her right here and now.’

Only then did Chen Xing notice the emerald bracelet dangling from Hao Wenli’s outstretched wrist.

’She’s got some nerve, wearing it so brazenly.’

”Where did you get that bracelet?” Chen Xing asked, though she already knew the answer. ”From one of Buma’s people?”

Hao Wenli: ”...”

She was a little stunned.

’Isn’t that right? I killed Buma and dozens of her people to get this bracelet.’

”How do you know about Buma?” ’But that was a secret.’

’I pretended to be weak to get into Buma’s camp down south.’

’Then I killed them all in their sleep.’

”I also know that bracelet of yours is special!” Chen Xing instantly teleported in front of Hao Wenli.

’There’s no need to show her any mercy.’

’I only kept her alive back then because I wanted more information. Later, I found out she was also one of the Research Institute’s lab rats.’

’But this is one lab rat I shouldn’t have spared.’

Hao Wenli was formidable, though. The moment Chen Xing appeared before her, a wall of iron came crashing down from above.

However, it stopped abruptly above Chen Xing, now completely under her control. It tipped backward and slammed directly onto Hao Wenli’s feet.

”AARGH...” A scream of agony echoed across the vast wilderness.

Hao Wenli could hear the sound of her own bones shattering.

Chen Xing moved just as quickly. Before Hao Wenli could react, she yanked the bracelet right off her wrist.

At this time, Cheng Fang had also arrived.

But... less than ten meters away, she froze.

’So... this resurrected Chen Xing is a Devil?’

’Hao Wenli, who I thought was unbeatable, was just taken down that easily by Chen Xing?’

She couldn’t help but glance down at her own three severed fingers.
