Chapter 140: I Told You to Get Rid of Wen Ni, but You Wouldn’t Listen

Wen Ni naturally refused to give up.

She called again.

Still, no one answered.

Her throat felt swollen, and she could not describe the bitterness in her heart.

Wen Ni took Lin Luo by the hand. “Luoluo, please help me get a replacement SIM card.”

“All right,” Lin Luo said. “I’ll go once Young Master Jiang returns.”

Bang, bang, bang.

Lin Luo went to open the door. “Did Jiang Shaozhang come back so soon?”

She pulled the door open.

Ji Yingqi stood outside.

The Infinite Gauntlet on Chen Lu’s hand faded into an invisible state, while the Origin Ring ceased to glow. Chen Lu restored his clothes to the way they had been when he first crossed over, then stepped into one of the portals.

Hearing this, Fox Bald could not help drawing a deep breath. What on earth had happened to the Fox Clan for them to turn on one another and fight to the death?

“Wait! I want to duel you too. If I win, you have to let us go!” Mark, drenched in sweat, pulled out his Duel Disk. He thought that by imitating Jaden Yuki, he could make Saitama agree to duel him again.

“All right. Your tongue is certainly sharp. Big Sister cannot argue with you.” A fresh smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Xia Yuwei’s lips. The celestial air about her instantly gave way to the down-to-earth warmth of the girl next door.

“For me?” Wu Fan was slightly taken aback. Strange. If Shark Island wanted to give him this box, why go to all this trouble? Could it be that whatever was inside could not be given to him last semester?

While speaking with the old woman, Cai Shi kept a cold eye on Zhao Zheng’s movements. If he made any attempt to escape, she would show him no mercy. Yet after a long while, Zhao Zheng merely sat there in a daze, as though racking his brains over something. Only then did she relax and turn her attention back to the old woman.

Ye Jinhui did not entirely agree with what Chu Li had said about all the fabric bought after the New Year being old stock.

“When were you transferred here to serve the emperor?” A calm smile appeared at the corners of Shen Yan’s lips. Since the emperor was resting, leaving now would only mean making another needless trip back later. He might as well chat casually with the young eunuch before him.

It was obvious that Warren, playing in the number-three position, was no match for Williamson! And none of their players at the other positions had been particularly effective at scoring either. That was why they began to run out of steam in the third quarter. Though unwilling to concede in the final quarter, they could do nothing but watch the game end in defeat.

The minotaur knelt first. The demons behind him followed suit, bowing three times before Zhao Zheng with utmost reverence.

At last, after exhausting all the true energy within him, Su Donghe swung his sword. The five dragon shadows appeared once more, but the four dragon shadows—azure, pale green, emerald, and dark teal—merged with the final blood-red dragon shadow, becoming a dark-red streak that shot straight toward the Ninth Prince.

The sorrow and loneliness Wen Qihang revealed at that moment shook Xie Lingyun profoundly.

“Minister Fan’s concern is not without reason. However, someone has assured Me that this matter can certainly be handled properly, so Minister Fan need not worry too much,” Old Second Zhao said reassuringly.

When Kui was still present, the three of them—Mei, Wang, and Kui—could join forces and make Young Master Hai somewhat wary. But ever since Kui had been injured and forced to withdraw from the battle, the tide had begun to turn in Young Master Hai’s favor. If the Soul Refining Sect had not been able to draw upon the power of the ghost beasts, the battle would probably have ended long ago.

“Hmm... Last year, I felt that my bones were too fragile, and I was afraid of injuring them, so I didn’t lift that much. But if I had really tried, I should have been able to lift fifteen hundred pounds even then,” Long Yuan explained.

Tier Four? And not merely Tier Four—a being on the verge of the upper reaches of that level. What would happen if he laughed aloud?

The room was filled with A Zi and her clothes, while all the firewood, rice, oil, and salt from the kitchen had been packed away as well. Annie Baby was equally frantic nearby, checking one thing and then another, terrified that something would go wrong during the move.
