Chapter 71: From Now On, I'll Take Care of the Housework

Lu Jianwei pushed her bicycle home and, as expected, saw a pair of “door gods” standing at her doorstep.

From a distance, Cao Shuying’s heart leaped with joy when she saw Lu Jianwei approaching. It seemed her plan to become a teacher at the middle school had failed after all—why else would she be home so early?

Perhaps those rumors about her teaching at the school were just a ruse, a trap set specially for her.

“Comrade Lu, how did it go? I heard you were going to teach at the affiliated middle school, but it didn’t work out, did it? Teaching at the children’s school certainly has its perks…”

Because they were all mercenaries, and their company had accepted the client’s commission, they were set to assemble today and prepare to launch a direct interception against the New Science City Military Academy.

Carrying her newly bought computer, Fang Tian gazed at Fang Han with shining eyes—her big brother was simply amazing. He could even buy a computer without spending a dime.

“Go ahead!” Liu Le said to Ren Minghui, his tone not only playful but slightly encouraging as well.

Yan Yangtian truly would not go back on his word. Money meant little to him, and he was happy to help a classmate when he could.

Of course, if those martial artists at the initial level of Wuzong Realm were already prepared, Qin Shijie would be in real danger.

But the best way to relieve pain was through extreme training, and the best way to ease muscle tension after high-intensity exercise was with a high-pressure water jet.

As for Xing’er, her parents still didn’t know about this, but… they would have to be told eventually.

Therefore, doctors usually paid the most attention to department heads and some key decision-makers in the hospital. As for deputy directors or senior attending physicians, it was enough not to offend them—there was no need to flatter, since they didn’t make the real decisions anyway.

The sun’s surface began to solidify, and then an unfathomable black hole appeared before Zhang Shaofei. Having experienced this once already, Zhang Shaofei was not particularly surprised and immediately entered the passage at top speed.

“Haven’t you figured out who your sister-in-law is yet?” Zhang Shaofei asked without looking up.

A Luo Ye spoke softly. Seeing Qin Chuan still lying flat on the new bed with his eyes closed, she didn’t mind. Then she remembered the bed was her usual resting place, and a blush of shyness crept over her lovely face.

Wuchenzi sighed, but did not answer immediately. With a flick of his sleeve, he stepped into the courtyard. Noticing that his master was troubled, Qin Chuan didn’t press further but followed close behind.

This situation couldn’t last long; everyone else had noticed it as well, but nobody had the ability to help, nor could they afford to split their focus, since each was already at a disadvantage.

“Something’s wrong—a massive lifeform has appeared at the geothermal energy base, five kilometers away. It’s a monster,” Midori Kawama said anxiously, her face tense.

As the Dragon Lord and the other powerful dragons vanished, the phantom on the orb began to fade until it disappeared entirely. Yet the orb itself did not fade away; it remained suspended in the void, pulsing with a rich bloodline aura, as if calling out.

Su Yusheng’s lips curled knowingly. So the Memory Jade had indeed changed hands—a Memory Jade that recognizes no good or evil?

A cluster of violet light descended slowly from the sky, and within it stood Zheng Zhong, dressed in a flowing purple robe.

“It’s over.” A crimson radiance emanated from Zhang Shaofei’s body. When it faded, he stood there in a golden dragon robe.

Wu ?, Qu Shaoping tried to persuade King Chu. Now that Chu had broken with the Three Jin states, the soldiers were being assembled, sent out and recalled repeatedly, which wore down morale. To go to war now would be highly disadvantageous.

Yes, in competitions between the secular and ancient martial worlds, if the ancient martial artists were to follow the orders of the secular world, they absolutely had to win first place—any lesser result was meaningless.

Soon after the meeting dismissed, Yamana Sukehide, who was discussing matters with his clansmen and retainers, received word: “Purushige Ue is here for a visit.”

This time, Tong Guan was only at the reunion because Liu Qiang had dragged him along. Jiang Huawei, glancing carefully at Tong Guan, still could not spot Zou Jun. It was strange—wherever Tong Guan appeared, Zou Jun was always close behind, but among the people here, Jiang Huawei didn’t recognize a single one.
