Chapter 37: Want to Sleep Here?
Hearing the troubled tone, it was as if she was afraid that she hadn’t realized just how inappropriate it was to ask her boyfriend for a wedding dress. As a dutiful daughter and girlfriend who always did the right thing, how could she possibly demand a wedding dress with a clear conscience?
Xu Yu, always considerate, replied: "That’s not what I meant at all. I just think you’re so busy, we haven’t even had time for a date."
Shen Yue comforted her, "Once this busy period is over, I’ll definitely take you out."
...
"Today, I’ll show you the real gap between a true martial artist and someone like you who barely knows what he’s doing!" The blond man wasted no words. He swung the spiked club in his hand straight at Ron, sending a swirl of sand and dust into the air.
"It’s not Huicheng, it’s Fuluo! I suppose he never told you. Fuluo is Lord Ba’s territory." Changyu Youle didn’t intend to beat around the bush, going straight to the point.
"Father, there’s something you don’t know. The whole county of Forte is in chaos right now, with green-skinned monsters everywhere." Leah spoke with a furrowed brow, glancing around uneasily. Not seeing Ron anywhere made her heart sink inexplicably.
"I’m new here, after all. I can hardly be as familiar with Huicheng as Lady Shang is," Miao Lingu smiled and said no more.
Shen Lan shot several glances at Dongfang Cheng, signaling for him to take the initiative and help Qi Shuying with her things. Dongfang Cheng pretended not to notice.
"Ling Chen wins!" Unfortunately for Li Jun, he saw that Qi Yuan couldn’t block Ling Chen’s sword, so he intervened early and blocked the sword himself. This, of course, meant that Qi Yuan was disqualified from continuing the match.
If last time he was impersonating the magistrate, now, with so many officers around and in open court besides, would it really be convincing to accuse him of impersonating the county governor?
After class at noon, Zhang Yang, Murong Shuiyue, and Bai Yu discussed ways to improve their studies as they ate together in the cafeteria.
"Ha! You petty commoners think you can defeat me? How arrogant!" Su Anbai was thrilled.
Sensing something was wrong, the two male doctors immediately threw their shoulders against the locked bathroom door. The round-headed wooden door wasn’t as sturdy as it looked. After two heavy impacts, with a loud bang, the door swung open—and the scene inside could only be described as shocking.
"Heh, what’s wrong? Sending them away so you won’t embarrass yourself in front of them?" Xu Ming, seeing the crowd growing, was all the more pleased—he loved being the center of attention.
Yuan Min’s expression changed. She grabbed Zhuo Xiong’s wrist with one hand and twisted it back sharply. Zhuo Xiong was skilled, but Yuan Min’s grip was perfect, pressing directly on his acupoint. With just a little force, Zhuo Xiong felt as if his entire arm would be snapped in two.
"You don’t need to worry. I know a thing or two about the systems in the control center. Once we activate full alert mode, they won’t be able to get out." Lin Mo had already made his plans and wasn’t throwing his life away.
Judging by the backlash from the altar, destroying it completely would be no easy feat—not something that could be done with a few punches. Moreover, thanks to the mark on his hand, Mu Yi could clearly sense that the Emperor of the Ghost Clan was on his way back.
"I’m going to find Brother Luo Yi. Uncle, are you going to look for Brother Luo Yi too?" Having met Lauter at the Church of Light, Lingyin felt no need for caution around him.
"I almost forgot—A Guan said he has a script for me and wanted me to act in it. I don’t know when filming is, but it looks like I won’t have any free time this year," Zhou Bai said to Yuan, realizing he’d nearly overlooked A Guan’s project.
Faced with the temptation of delicious food, the two of us couldn’t hold out and declared we’d dig in. By the time we looked down and saw bones scattered everywhere, all that was left of the chicken was the tail and the head.
