A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 124 Mengting's Sudden Riches in One Night

"Yes, this martial arts technique was bestowed upon me by the King of Hell when I was in the underworld. He said that I was a righteous person who dared to love and hate, and that I would suffer many hardships after being reborn, so he taught me this martial arts technique."

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian asked in great surprise, "Did the King of Hell teach you that?"

“Yes,” he nodded, and said seriously, “It was indeed taught to me personally by the King of Hell. The King of Hell even treated me to a meal! It was that meal that made me healthy again. Qianqian, you must carefully study and try to digest it in the shortest possible time.”

Tang Qianqian gave a doubtful "Oh," and Chao Bufan continued, "I've already thought it through. I'll contact your father later and have him learn this too."

Naively, she actually believed it and understood what "extraordinary" meant. She said, "Actually, my dad is the one who needs this the most."

"Alright," Chao Bufan gently patted her shoulder and said, "Go back to work!"

“Bufan, I’m going to work now.” She stood up and replied.

Chao Bufan nodded and smiled. After Tang Qianqian left, he couldn't help but chuckle and whispered, "My god, this lie is so well-made that I almost believed it myself. Wow, I'm a fucking genius."

……

After getting off work, Huang Mengting returned to her shared apartment. At that moment, Zhang Xiuli was watching TV, while Li Wei was making dinner. Judging from her radiant appearance, she must be in a great mood.

"Sisters, I'm back."

Li Wei came out of the kitchen to get a plate and asked, "Mengting, why are you so late today? I almost finished cooking... Huh?" She suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Mengting, when did you start liking to wear earrings? Didn't you say you didn't like wearing them?"

"Hehe!" Huang Mengting chuckled, looking smug, and said, "That was before, things are different now."

As Huang Mengting sat down next to Zhang Xiuli and reached for the glass of water on the table, Zhang Xiuli inadvertently noticed the diamond ring on her finger and quickly reached out, exclaiming, "Don't touch it!"

Huang Mengting was startled, her hand freezing in mid-air. She scolded, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Xiuli grabbed Huang Mengting's hand and examined the diamond ring on her finger closely. Suddenly, she screamed, "My God! Mengting, where did you get such a big diamond ring? It must weigh at least fifty carats!"

"What?"

Li Wei rushed out of the kitchen and asked, "Really?"

He then looked at Huang Mengting's finger and saw that she was indeed wearing a diamond ring that was at least fifty carats. He exclaimed, "My goodness, Mengting, what a huge diamond... Bracelet, oh my god, this bracelet... this necklace... and these earrings..."

For a moment, Li Wei was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Huang Mengting smiled, and upon hearing Li Wei's words, Zhang Xiuli realized that Huang Mengting was also wearing a bracelet and a necklace. Suddenly, Li Wei lifted the necklace around Huang Mengting's neck and screamed, "My God... this... isn't this the 'Empress's Star' that was stolen from the ancient L Empire 150 years ago? My God... and this bracelet... the only bracelet that the king of B Country specially made for his queen 3,000 years ago—the Bracelet of Glory, and these earrings... My God, Mengting, where did you get all these things?"

Li Wei and Zhang Xiuli almost had their hearts jump out of their chests. Every single one of these things was priceless. Shock and amazement were not enough to describe the feelings they had at that moment.

Huang Mengting didn't know the origin of these items and thought they were just ordinary jewelry. After Li Wei mentioned it, she remembered that a few days ago, she, Li Wei, and Xiuli had accidentally seen pictures of these items online and were shocked at the time.

"Mengting, don't tell me you bought all these things from a jewelry store!" Zhang Xiuli said with a look of admiration.

Huang Mengting realized what he meant, smiled, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Yes, he gave it to me."

"Him?" Li Wei was slightly surprised and asked, "Who is he? He's so rich that he can even give you these priceless things. Mengting, do you know? Take this pair of earrings for example, do you know how much it's worth now?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Mengting shook her head, but Zhang Xiuli had already opened the laptop on the table and started researching. She continued, "Mengting, the name of your earrings is 'Unselfish Love,' which means selfless love. Three thousand years ago, the king of X country commissioned the most famous jewelry designer of the time to create a unique pair of earrings specifically for his newborn princess. After creating these earrings, the jewelry designer disappeared. Later, these earrings appeared at an auction and were bought by a wealthy merchant for the exorbitant price of three million taels of gold."

"And..." he continued, "The Queen Lover necklace you're wearing is the most expensive necklace in the world, specially made for his wife by the king of the ancient L Kingdom three thousand years ago. It's considered the most precious necklace in the world and was later regarded as a national treasure by the ancient L Empire. The Bracelet of Glory is a bracelet made by the king of the B Kingdom three thousand years ago for his queen. It appeared at an auction once and was bought by an unknown mysterious person for ten million taels of gold. Its whereabouts have been unknown ever since."

"The diamond ring on your finger is called Darry-King. It was made by the King of F country 2,500 years ago for his deceased wife. After the king died, the ring was stolen by tomb robbers and auctioned off for 8.5 million taels of gold."

While Zhang Xiuli was explaining the information about the jewelry Huang Mengting was wearing on the computer, she shook her head and clicked her tongue in astonishment. Even Huang Mengting and Li Wei, the two people involved, were extremely shocked.

Li Wei patted his chest, trying hard to calm himself down, then said with a mournful face, "Mengting, I'm so jealous I want to strangle you! Who's so generous as to give you all this expensive jewelry? Oh my god... why doesn't anyone give me any?! Waaah..."

Zhang Xiuli shut down the computer, hugged Li Wei, patted her back, and comforted her, "That's the difference between people, sweetie. It's just that we're unlucky and haven't met a rich tycoon like you. I'll buy you something at a boutique another day, boohoo..."

The two hugged each other and pretended to cry. Knowing the origin of these jewels, Huang Mengting felt a hundred times sweeter than if she had eaten honey. She thought to herself: Hehe, I didn’t expect Chairman Chao to give me such valuable things. It seems that he really considers me his woman.

In fact, Chao Bufan didn't know the origin of these jewels. He had picked them up from the skeletons on the pirate ship and simply gave them to Huang Mengting as ordinary jewelry.
