Chapter 40: Jiang Ke Loses Control

“I’m happy too. As I said earlier, I really like Teacher Jiang Ke. And now I’ve drawn Teacher Jiang Ke again—looks like we’re quite fated to meet, don’t you think?”

As Chen Xinqi said this, she did not look at Nono at all. Instead, she kept her eyes fixed on the camera in front of her. She was clearly very good at finding the lens, and it seemed she had deliberately addressed the camera.

Sure enough, Jiang Ke’s fans in the livestream room took an immediate liking to Chen Xinqi.

Only Nono, who was present, could clearly sense that there was something rather seductive about Chen Xinqi. Her pretty face held a mature, alluring charm, with a faint smile and a soft, lilting voice. Her moist, tender lips and bright, expressive eyes seemed to cast an irresistible spell over men at every moment.

Chen Yaozhong did not refuse either… Since they had already brought it over, why bother turning it down? It was better to accept it openly and without hesitation.

Jian Mingjia comforted them as though nothing had happened, but his brows remained faintly knitted. It was obvious that his wound hurt terribly.

“Mo Jiuchen, we’re going back to the mortal world!”

Gu Jinxi held him in her arms and was about to leave when she suddenly heard something slicing through the air. Her footsteps halted abruptly, and she darted to the side with Mo Jiuchen in her arms.

At first, she had not intended to say anything. But the words seemed to have been waiting at the back of her throat; the moment she opened her mouth, they came out naturally, as though she had said them countless times before.

“When they come out, tell them that I had something to attend to and left first.”

After saying this, Zhang Jialiang glanced at Yao Lili as she emerged, now changed into fresh clothes, then strode away.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked his goatee. His already ruddy face was positively glowing with health and satisfaction.

Liu Maoyang walked away without looking back. Li Jiayu was furious, but she still retained her reason and sent Jiang En to find out what had happened. Once she learned the truth, she nearly stormed into Liu Mao’s office and overturned his desk. If Duan Weiqi’s gift had not arrived in time, Li Jiayu might truly have gotten into a fight with Liu Mao that day.

More precisely, what Wu Yue wanted most was the younger twin—Lloyd Lloyd’s true self. That ability could imitate an enemy’s appearance, posture, memories, and psychology, rather than the imitation powers and techniques possessed by his elder brother, Lloyd Lloyd.

Although the words had been spoken so casually, Mi Xianger understood better than anyone else that, in order to protect his soldiers, this man had just walked a long circle around the gates of death.

After hearing You Jingyan’s account, Xu Da’s loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang would probably rise considerably in his estimation.

Seeing the others’ contemptuous and frivolous expressions, Wu Hao could not help frowning slightly, though he made no comment. He did not know any of them, so there was no need for him to care about their opinions. He simply prepared to leave.

The Marquis wore a frigid expression, and a murderous glint of hatred flashed in his eyes. In an instant, he flew to Blackwater’s side, seized him by the throat, and yanked him up from the sofa. With a forceful shove, he sent Blackwater crashing into the wall. After striking it, Blackwater fell heavily to the floor.

Han Wei’s expedition to the south naturally meant that he could not have known every danger and mystery hidden among the mountains and rivers. Even the Barbarian King Meng Huo could not have understood them all. Of the four poisonous springs described by King Duosi, only the people living nearby knew their secrets.

Over the following months, Zhang Yuanhao made no major moves. He steadily saw off Ji Mingyang and the others as their periods of rotation ended, then welcomed a new group of rotating cultivators.

While the Marquis was angry, he received a call from Lingxin, which greatly improved his mood. He even found himself willing to discuss a few matters with Ji Lin.

A low growl rumbled from the throat of the Thunder-Electric Bat Dragon. With every breath, its heavy nostrils exhaled clouds of white vapor. Blood also flowed out, dripping onto the ground until it had gathered into a pool.

You Jingyan felt that it was better to ask about the matter. Otherwise, endlessly scratching his head and wondering without ever understanding the reason would hardly solve anything.

Although Huaxia had 1.3 billion people, it was impossible for every one of them to become a viewer in his livestream room.
