Chapter 81 Surrounded by Onlookers

"Wow!"

The class erupted in excitement. Fortunately, the bell signaling the end of the period rang, and Lu Jianwei had just finished explaining the last test paper. She ended the lesson and followed behind the principal to answer the phone.

Trailing after her was a string of children, faces alight with excitement, even more animated than the teacher herself. They boasted of Miss Lu’s heroic deeds to anyone they met. None of them knew the full story, but as soon as anyone asked, they recounted it as if they had witnessed it themselves—Miss Lu had saved an entire train of people.

Meanwhile—

Xiao Mo had been watching Qin Wu’s expression. Seeing her frown, he thought she didn’t want to dance with him. But her eyes were full of puzzlement, and he couldn’t quite figure it out.

“Hmph! Just you wait. Once my skills are off cooldown, I’ll come deal with you all tomorrow.” He had just used his ultimate move. If he went to the sixth floor now, it would be no different from seeking a beating. Besides, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon. He’d been fighting nearly all day; it was time for a rest.

To possess wisdom was a lonely thing. Nothing was colder than standing at the highest place, alone. But here, it had the white tiger and the barn owl to converse with.

A flurry of questions left Du Keying speechless. In truth, these weren’t her real thoughts; she’d only blurted them out in her panic and impatience.

From afar, Lin Li spotted the two brothers. This time, she didn’t dare swagger up to them. She skirted around them from a distance and slipped back home, only to find that all the food had been eaten up, not a scrap left—cleaner than a dog’s tongue could manage.

No matter how much he healed, as soon as the hellhound entered the range of the “Shockwave,” it would instantly lose over eight hundred health points, and every five seconds, it would lose the same amount again. No matter how powerful his healing skills were, there was no way to keep up.

Lin Mei sat on the long-distance bus, grinning with satisfaction as she felt the thirty yuan in her pocket. She’d completely forgotten to visit the police station to inquire about Guihua.

After several days of rain with no business, today’s stall was bustling. She sold forty-five items in total.

Mu Chen had probably just finished bathing. When he opened the door for Su Xin, he was dressed in a sheer white shirt, towel-drying his damp hair.

However, this sudden movement tugged at his still-unhealed face, fur, and hair, causing a sharp itch and pain that made him cry out again.

Having spent years in the imperial court, he could handle matters of state with ease, but now, faced with household affairs, he was at a loss. After all, all these years, the Guogong Manor’s inner chambers had always been peaceful and harmonious; nothing like this had ever happened.

The atmosphere in the third year was still tense. Thanks to her photographic memory, Chu Yue didn’t feel much pressure herself, but watching everyone so tightly strung made her feel tired.

From a distance, they saw Wan Xiang still standing there in a daze, not moving at all, and their faces all changed dramatically.

Seeing Chu Yue tidying up for a long time and ignoring her, she wondered if she wasn’t being invited along today.

That evening, Xie Yuhua arrived at the appointed place to meet Pang Yuebai as promised. At first, Pang Yuebai didn’t answer her calls; it wasn’t until dusk that she finally sent a message.

But that day, I understood a truth: no matter what kind of man, never let him go hungry. Leave him hungry long enough, and he’ll turn into a wolf that will devour you, bones and all.

She really hadn’t guessed wrong—the visitor outside the door was none other than Ouyang Chengfeng from the Ouyang family.

Though they knew she was another man’s wife, such a woman—so enchanting and full of innocent charm—was a rare sight. They felt incredibly fortunate to meet her and envied her husband for having such an extraordinary beauty.

“Boss, how did this place get opened up? I’ll check it out first, you wait here.” Li Bo’s voice called from the distance.

As she finished speaking, a vermillion light suddenly flared from her body. Enveloped in that glow, she slowly rose into the air, her entire figure bathed in red light. Then, the red radiance exploded in the air and vanished completely.
