“Absolutely right!”
“Zhou Suyun, you owe us an explanation for this!”
“A bounty isn’t something you can joke around with!”
As the bald man finished speaking, several others stepped forward, their voices cold. Among them were many who harbored grudges against Zhou Suyun. In the world they lived in, conflicts like this were inevitable.
Now that they had an opportunity, they weren’t going to let it slip by. Was she really playing with them? First, she’d put a bounty on her man, and now she claimed it was just a joke? Did she really think the title “Jade-Faced Demoness” held enough weight to toy with them like this?
“You all…” Zhou Suyun’s expression grew grim as she realized the gravity of the situation. If mishandled, this could lead to serious consequences. As she pondered her next move, Yang Lu turned around and began to walk away, catching everyone’s attention.
They all thought the same thing: this coward was making a run for it.
They exchanged mocking glances, their eyes practically saying, “This is the man you chose? How embarrassing.”
But Zhou Suyun’s face remained full of hope. She knew her man wouldn’t just leave like that.
Bang, bang, bang.
Just when everyone thought Yang Lu was about to flee, he walked over to the giant Ferris wheel. He reached out and gave the enormous steel structure a few solid slaps.
Boom.
What happened next left everyone speechless. The entire Ferris wheel shattered into pieces.
Yes, a Ferris wheel with a diameter of several dozen meters, built entirely of solid steel, had just disintegrated under Yang Lu’s three strikes. He turned back to face the group and asked, Get faster updates on NovelPing.
“Is this explanation enough?”
Now that he had reached the 4th level Nine Yang Divine Art, Yang Lu’s strength was beyond anything they could comprehend. And they had the audacity to demand explanations from his woman? They didn’t deserve it.
“Ms. Zhou, your man is clearly a dragon among men! You’re so lucky!”
“Absolutely, Ms. Zhou, you’re a legend!”
“Feel free to issue more bounties anytime—we’ll gladly play along!”
Yang Lu’s sheer power left them all deeply shaken, each one drenched in a cold sweat. This man was terrifying.
Yang Lu rolled his eyes at their flattery, muttering, “Pathetic.”
Without a word, he then turned and left.
“No wonder he’s my man; even his back view is handsome!” Zhou Suyun murmured, touching her reddened cheek with a look of pure adoration.
He had been so commanding, exuding a charm that made it impossible to look away. He was like a firefly glowing in the dark night, impossible to ignore.
“Hmph! I must’ve been blind to ever think Zhao Ritian was worth my time. Ugh!” Her expression shifted, her tone now cold.
Compared to Yang Lu, Zhao Ritian was nothing. She couldn’t believe she’d ever felt a flutter for that waste of a man. Now, she wished she could go back and erase that moment of weakness.
…
“Achoo!”
“Damn it, who’s talking about me?”
At this moment, Zhao Ritian, on his way to the Little Greens Restaurant, sneezed violently, cursing aloud. Someone was clearly speaking ill of him, and if he found out who, he’d make them regret it. Enjoying the story? Read on at NovelPing.
He was already feeling irritated.
After leaving the company, he’d headed to Yang Lu’s place, only to find he wasn’t home. That coward must’ve hidden himself out of fear.
“Hey, who threw that?”
Just then, a bunch of fresh green onions fell on his head—not just one bundle but several! He was livid. Who was throwing things?
“What? He’s headed to the Little Greens Restaurant? Alright, I’m on my way.”
His phone rang, and after listening for a moment, his face twisted with fury. The nerve of that guy, casually heading to a restaurant at a time like this? He’d make sure Yang Lu didn’t leave the place alive.
At 8 p.m., inside the Little Greens Restaurant, Lin Xiaohan, dressed elegantly, sat at a table, glancing around nervously.
“Where is he? He’s not going to stand me up, is he?!”
Seeing no sign of Yang Lu, she started to feel anxious. This was the first time in her life she’d invited a guy out for a meal. He couldn’t just leave her hanging like this! Why would he say yes if he didn’t plan to show up?
Suddenly, she felt a pang of disappointment. “You can’t do this to me.”
But at this moment, she spotted a familiar figure approaching. Yang Lu sat down across from her.
“Lin Xiaohan, I’m here.”
