Chapter 196: A Fatal Punch

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jing Mo t s face was a canvas of fury. From the moment Lu Shi had neared Xia Xin, Jing Mo l d been itching to throw a punch.

“I’m not that saintly. I lent the bucket to Xu Zhi because we had spares. Sorry, but I don’t have anything extra for you.” Having said that, Xia Xin grabbed Jing Mo’s arm, and they left without looking back, his icy glance the only farewell.

Lu Shi shivered at Jing Mo t s departing look, its loaded meaning stirring unease in his chest.

“How can you do this? It was a chance for us to be on this show together. Can’t we help each other out?” Tian Mei’s shout chased after them.

“Shut up!” Lu Shi snapped, fed up with her incessant noise.

Tian Mei’s lips quivered. “Lu Shi, I just felt sorry for you. They trample over your dignity…”

“Enough!” Lu Shi cut Tian Mei off.

“But it’s the truth,” Tian Mei persisted.

“Do you not realize how ugly and old you are? How can someone your age still act so naively? You’re nothing but a wrinkled old hag!” With that, Lu Shi turned on his heel and strode away.

Tian Mei stood in disbelief, replaying his words. ‘Old and ugly? A hag riddled with wrinkles?’

“Ah!” She let out a shrill scream, stomping her foot before storming off.

Xia Xin departed, and shortly after, Lu Shi arrived.

“Where’s Xia Xin?” Lu Shi asked Jing Mo.

“She had a stomachache and went to take care of it,” Jing MO replied.

‘What a golden opportunity,’ Lu Shi thought. He said, “How can you let her go alone? It’s dangerous here! I must find her!”

Jing MO tripped Lu Shi with a foot and stated emphatically, “She had a stomachache and went to deal with it.”

“A girl going to the bathroom, and you want to follow? Not so pure-hearted, are you?” Jing MO questioned sharply.

“I’m just concerned about her! It’s far too dangerous for her to be alone,” Lu Shi argued.

Jing Mo’s eyes narrowed, a sliver of amusement coloring his voice. “She could knock out a tiger with one punch, while the sight of one turns your legs to jelly.

Who’s the dangerous one now?”

“You…” Lu Shi was at a loss for words. Xia Xin could knock out a tiger with one punch? Since when?

In the distance, the white tiger couldn’t believe its ears. It thought, ‘That woman could knock out a tiger with one punch?’

It backed away, puzzled at understanding human speech. It was a mutated tiger and it understood! It wanted to flee, but here came Xia Xin.

“Where are you hurting? I’m sorry about last night. I got so busy and I forgot,” Xia Xin apologized, unaware of how long the great beast had been waiting..
