Chapter 88: Facing Each Other in Court
When Housekeeper Chen led Xiao Manman to the house at the back on the left, she finally realized that this was where the servants lived. She threw a tantrum. However, Housekeeper Chen was not about to indulge her. “My young master asked the madam to tell you: if you can manage to live here, stay. If not, kindly leave.” In order to stay, Xiao Manman had to swallow her pride in the end.
She spent the entire afternoon resting in her room. When dinnertime arrived, no one came to invite her to the meal.
After making his move, He Zheng felt as if something deep inside him had been lost, but also a deep sense of relief. Xue Yan sighed and said nothing more. She always felt that their senior must have gone on ahead of them.
On the dueling platform, Su Ni sprawled out carelessly, sitting cross-legged with his palms facing the sky, as if he were cultivating. Chu Tianrong’s expression was clouded, and a flash of anger appeared in Su Muyu’s eyes, but neither spoke. Instead, it was Su Huang who broke the silence.
He Zheng now faced four Breakers at once—each clad in a battle suit capable of greatly neutralizing his attacks. Qin Zheng watched the charging giant bear with a calm gaze; he still made no move. He simply reached out a hand and flung it forward.
Wang Hao’s figure flickered repeatedly as he struck out with both palms, successively forcing back several of his attackers.
The moment the technique was unleashed, Fan Ziyan sensed danger and retreated wildly. Even so, he barely dodged the orb of light—his flowing fur on his back was scorched black in patches. He collapsed to the ground, still in shock as he stared ahead.
“You’re more self-aware than I expected.” After their conversation, Su Cheng’s opinion of her changed considerably. Whether or not she would join Yixia Technologies, her suggestion was quite good.
He closed his eyes, entered his spiritual sea, and suppressed the violent genes of the Tyrant Bug. If he could suppress even the Stardust Dragon, then an eighth-rank creature was nothing to him.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qian was shocked, because these items were still perfectly usable.
Hearing such confidence, Ge Jia scoffed disdainfully. He’d heard plenty of talk like this in the gambling halls, and it always ended in miserable defeat. So Ge Jia didn’t echo Lu Yu’s words.
It seemed he’d come to the right place. No sooner had he arrived than he encountered a ghoul. Yet this creature seemed rather dim-witted. Ghouls were rarely alone; something should be controlling it. Sure enough, a thousand meters away, Qi Yu could sense a gaze watching them. But the distance was too great—he couldn’t discern what it was.
Countless vampires, who had been fleeing in panic, suddenly froze in midair, then plummeted to the earth, their eyes wide in shock and terror at the source of the voice.
Qian Meihua turned her head slightly. That direction led toward Night Street. From up high, the bright avenue shone like a river of light cutting through the midnight darkness—dazzling and vivid.
Ding Jingxi made no further effort at conversation—perhaps he was still searching for words but, being so unskilled at small talk, didn’t know what to say.
When Qin Junxi’s body suddenly rose level with the lintel, Qiao Xin simply couldn’t believe her eyes.
Zong Bailu paused in surprise. So that was it. She immediately believed Qi Yu’s words, and sure enough, a short time later, the soaring serpent appeared before them, gliding into view. Zong Bailu suddenly felt grateful to have Qi Yu by her side.
Yet such feelings could only be harbored in her heart. If her husband ever learned she thought this way, he’d surely be furious.
Chen Zhongtian, seeing Wang Yun’s disheveled state, managed an awkward smile and hurriedly took off his jacket to cover her.
Just like Ye Shanghan, Tianyin also harbored resentment toward Kang Tai. She would never forget how Kang Tai, under the pretense of being her brother, had beaten Ye Shanghan, then threatened to sever their sibling bond to force Tianyin to leave Ye Shanghan.
