Chapter 39: Manman Is Still Young, Just Speaking Nonsense

Lu Qingqing’s eyes were sharp as blades, fixed intently on Jiang Jiuyue. The woman’s face turned deathly pale as she hastily pulled her hand away, only to hear Lu Qingqing’s low chuckle. Hugging her arms, she said, “I was just fooling you.”

“You…” Jiang Jiuyue hadn’t expected Lu Qingqing to play such a trick. It was utterly exasperating. “You really…”

Afterwards, she never asked him. Had she done so, she would have known whether he had met An Yi or not. Still, she guessed he hadn’t—otherwise, he would never have fled in such panic.

Among the Chinese players striving in England at the same time was Lv Tie, who signed with Everton in 2002 and moved to Sheffield United on a free transfer in July 2005. Just before Kaisa signed, Sheffield United announced that Lv Tie had obtained his work permit and could play in the Premier League the following season.

Then, he crashed into the ceiling, jumped down, and chased Hugh Jila with a frying pan. After the chase, Lotta chose the task. When everyone saw the task, their expressions became immediately peculiar.

The third form of the Army-Breaking Fist carried a murderous force that surged outward, its effect striking Xu Wuyao’s body, causing his spirit to plunge instantly into terror.

Green Ivy hurried to the laboratory, but the shift had already ended. Di Yuge glanced at the tardy Green Ivy but said nothing.

Three days later was the day when the Thousand Feathers Sect would widely recruit disciples. Mo Qiu and Liao Tou set out together toward the foot of Gathering Clouds Mountain. During these three days, Mo Qiu had stayed in a guest room arranged by Liao Tou’s group, never stepping outside. Besides practicing martial arts and meditating, she fed Ugly, whose appetite grew daily. She didn’t feel the least bit bored.

Mo Tianji was the most skilled in medicine in the entire bandit stronghold; everyone had to nod in agreement at his reputation.

Green Ivy tried to open the car door, but every door was locked. To her frustration, she had no idea how to unlock them.

If Tang Junhao ever learned that, after all the time he’d spent flirting by her side, she couldn’t even remember his face, he might very well break down in tears.

At last, one of the Saint-level beings, desperate, gathered all their strength to form a defense against Lin Xuan, only to be pierced through in an instant.

Han Fei, looking somewhat weary, apologized and took his leave. No one thought him rude; being capable of such feats, what matter was it if he was occasionally willful?

So when Chu Yuman saw the item Du Lingshan tossed her, her fury was entirely understandable.

No one knew how much time had passed when Xun Yi suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was chilling, biting, and his silver teeth ground together audibly, as though he wished he could appear before Fusu that very instant and devour him alive.

Old Madam Long Li, in her ruthless bid for the throne, stopped at nothing, even pinning the blame for her father’s murder on Long Tuqizhi.

Blood splattered, and as the severed head fell, an expression of obsession still lingered upon its face. Perhaps, even in his final moments, he found that radiance astonishingly beautiful.

Lv Fang scratched his head in frustration, then suddenly, inspiration struck—he really did think of a possible solution.

At this moment, Fang Zheng had already returned home. His parents were overjoyed to see him. Upon learning he would return, they’d spent the whole morning preparing a delicious meal.

As Lv Jiang finished speaking, the faces of Zhang Shuye, He Li, and Wang Fu turned unspeakably grim, each silently grumbling, “Official traitors and rebels cannot coexist; how can others be allowed to snore beside my bed? What fault is there in the court suppressing rebels?”

“To think the King of Langya, in his final moments, would entrust his martial legacy to a mere cook!” The other man glared at Zhuang Lan, eyes brimming with murderous intent.

“You shameless mongrel! If I let you live today, my lifelong reputation will be ruined! I’ll kill you!” Suddenly, the man struck, snatching a soldier’s waist-saber and swinging it at the scar-faced man’s head.
