Chapter 137: The Haunted Car (Part Five)

Before long, Lu Xiaoxiao ran downstairs, her pretty face flushed and her breath coming in short gasps.

The woman in red whispered coldly in my ear, "Do not reveal my presence!"

After handing me the keys, Lu Xiaoxiao looked me up and down with a strange expression. "Xie Buju, what exactly is going on with you?"

I took the keys and replied, "I was about to ask you the same thing..."

Chu Ting had left a note saying he had urgent business to attend to and had departed first. He added that he would certainly repay the debt of gratitude for saving his life last night in full.

I had just walked up to Chen Zhi and was gathering my strength to splash the wine in his face when someone suddenly used a clever flick of their wrist to snatch the glass from my hand.

Xia Yu’s soul opened its eyes and carefully scrutinized the physical body before it. It felt oddly fragile, as if a single punch from his soul could shatter it into pieces. But that was just a thought; Xia Yu had no intention of testing it and quickly returned his soul to his body.

Meng Guqing felt the child was truly very sensible; despite a hint of petulance, she possessed a kind heart.

Having finalized the cabinet designs with the carpenter recommended by He Yuanchao, Zhou Huilan, finding herself free, returned to Songbai Street early that day.

However, Xu Damao did not think so. As a man, and a married one at that, how could he not know what was on a man's mind?

Halfway through reading, Lige felt something was wrong. He fell silent and quickly tugged at the bottom of the parchment.

Initially, Deng Mao had been a bit intimidated by Guan Yu’s imposing appearance and piercing gaze, but Guan Yu’s words only served to ignite his fighting spirit. Recalling that he had never tasted defeat since marching from Guangyang, he was overcome with a surge of arrogance.

"I am not leaving, unless you let me check your things to see if my hairpin is among them!" Lin Que'er plotted inwardly. Once Abi was distracted, she could slip the golden hairpin into Abi's belongings and see how she would explain that.

Because of this, the awakened Dead Leaf had become even more troublesome. He would frequently throw tantrums, demanding souls, which was quite a headache.

"Very well," Cheng Yu said, rising and walking to a high platform. "After such a long period of reorganization, our Beast Tribe forces have become an army with iron discipline! We could have enjoyed a peaceful life here, but there are those who insist on our destruction!" Cheng Yu pointed toward the distance.

"We're home. I'm going to take a shower." Disregarding whether the guest was settled, Ziyuan took off his coat and headed straight for the bathroom.

Upon hearing this, Zixiang’s heart sank. *It’s over, I’ve been found out. I’m in real trouble this time!* "Um, I... I didn't mean to!" Zixiang hung his head, not daring to look Ziyue in the eye.

The two embraced tightly, as if they had not seen each other in eight years, terrified that the other might disappear again.

"Still want to fight?" Zixiang’s hand rested on Muxue’s shoulder. "You're despicable! You're cheating!" Muxue’s face turned green with rage. This was clearly bullying someone who was just a novice!

Feeling the divine power within him growing ever more abundant, Xing Chou nodded to himself. Xing Yun-cai and Zhan Qing were unique among the major superpowers in terms of raw strength and were capable of holding their own; yet, to be reduced to mere blood-food for him was truly pathetic.

Lin Peng was somewhat shocked. He had only learned this news after returning, and he couldn't fathom how this guy had found out about it.

"Bang." Enduring the intense pain, Di Mochen raised his hand, and a burst of power flew out, striking the stone table to the side.

Having realized this, the trace of anxiety in Zhuang Jian's heart vanished, replaced by an unstoppable courage. Even if the Wutian God Lord was invincible, was he not the same?

Taking the brunt of the impact were the Tian, Mo, and Han families, whose headquarters were in S City near Mount Emei. It was impossible for these three towering clans to pull up all their roots and leave the region, so they began to evacuate in waves, saving only their most vital assets and members.
