Chapter 432 - I-I Don’t Want To Be Cuckolded
Sword Card Master Association.
Lu Ming was lounging on the rocking chair.
“Master~
“Have some tea.”
Xiaobai brought him a cup of hot tea.
“Okay.”
Lu Ming felt pleased.
He was done testing the Sky Water Sword. His life had returned to normal. Right now, all he had to do was wait for the target to appear.
——
Zhou Yun, female, 16 years old, highly gifted. She became an orphan after her parents died on legacy sites. She was a self-reliant girl and became a five-star Energy Warrior. She was physically strong. She was a loner. Recently, as she offended some locals, she intended to come to Tian Du City to seek refuge.
——
Well....
Lu Ming put down the materials in his hands.
This was the first talent that he had carefully selected from the name list!
She was the most suitable candidate.
According to the teenager in white, the young girl was in a dangerous situation. If they saved her...
“Does she have a good personality?”
Lu Ming pulled the teenager in white toward him.
“There is no problem with her,” the teenager in white assured him. “She is pure and simple. She is the type who returns debts of gratitude. She lives by herself and has a clear distinction between kindness and hatred. Once, I got a few friends to stage a show about saving a damsel in distress to get to know her...”
The teenager in white’s voice came to an abrupt halt.
“What happened afterward?”
Lu Ming smiled and looked at him.
The teenager in white sounded discouraged. “She beat my friends and I up.”
“Heh.”
Lu Ming laughed involuntarily.
He realized that the ladies around him had strong personalities! His elder sister, Miss Xiaoqing, Yan Suya, Senior Qiu...
Instead, the men...
He looked at the teenager in white in front of him, the teenager in black who was huddled in the corner at a distance, and Li Ergou, who thought that no one could see him and was dancing the Seaweed Dance[1] at the door...
“Get lost!”
Lu Ming kicked the air.
A transparent thing flew into the sky.
Eh?
The teenager in white was shocked. He seemed to have seen something just now.
“That is an illusion.”
Lu Ming smiled, refocusing his attention on the young girl. “Her enemies...”
“Are probably the local dark forces.”
The teenager in white was very helpless. “She has a strong personality and she does not let things slide. She would destroy various dens everyday... She seemed to have killed a son of an underworld boss this time. Therefore, she has to escape from the place. Tian Du City is still considered as safe, they would not dare to openly chase her down.”
“Oh?
“This lady...”
Lu Ming squinted. “I like her.”
The teenager in white turned green.
“President.
“You already have Xiaobai.”
The teenager in white was teary-eyed. “She is my classmate, please let her off the hook.”
Lu Ming became sullen.
What was in the brains of these teenagers?!
“I meant that I like her personality.
“When the time comes, let’s go meet her together.”
Lu Ming rolled his eyes. “I don’t care whether it is saving a damsel in distress or protecting her, you can do it. I won’t get involved in teenagers’ affairs.”
“Thank you, president.”
The teenager in white was happy.
Hence... the two of them began to come up with a plan to save the damsel in distress.
After a long while, they received news that Miss Zhou Yun had arrived in Tian Du City! However, it was unlike what they imagined. The lady seemed to have been chased all the way there...
“Let’s go!”
The two of them hurried to their destination.
“Remember!
“You have to be decisive and able when you save her from the enemies. You must show her that you are mature and steadfast. You must not jump about!”
Lu Ming told him.
“Understood!”
The teenager in white made a solemn vow that he would do as told.
Hence, the two of them dashed to the suburbs.
True enough, energy surged not too far away. There seemed to be a fierce fight.
...
Bang!
Bang!
There were two loud explosions.
A lady was sent blasting outwards, spitting mouthfuls of fresh blood.
“You won’t be able to escape.”
A group of men in black blocked her way with a look of indifference. They had chased her all the way there. They would not give her the chance to run!
Thinking of escaping?
That was impossible!
“Heh.”
The lady wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth.
Her clothes were torn and tattered, barely covering her body. She was in a state of disarray. However, beneath the mud and dirt was a small and exquisite face.
She was Zhou Yun.
She was a five-star talent who was only 16 years old!
Unlike the teenager in white, she did not have any parents. She had come that far with her own efforts. She had fought her way to reach her current energy level.
“You won’t be able to escape.”
The leader of the men in black shook his head. “The boss said that we must capture you alive to pay homage to his son’s soul. Stop struggling.”
“Are all of you that confident?”
There was a trace of a smile at the corner of Zhou Yun’s lips.
Eh?
The men in black were suddenly on their guard.
The reason why they did not capture her directly was because she was Zhou Yun! Her strongest ability was not her talents but her wits.
They had chased her all the way there.
However, along the way, she had had them wrapped around her little finger!
Now that they were one step away from catching her, they did not dare to relax their guard!
“Right now, Tian Du City is eradicating all evil forces.”
Zhou Yun looked at the city which was not too far away.
She was so close to escaping to the city.
“Therefore, we cannot allow you to escape to Tian Du City,” the men in black said coldly.
Given their abilities, they could not carry on their misdeeds in Tian Du City.
“But...”
Zhou Yun suddenly smiled. “Do you know that the suburbs are considered as part of Tian Du City as well?”
“Oh?”
The men in black were confused.
What did she mean?!
The suburbs... are considered as part of Tian Du City?
They are part of the city?
Even if they demolished the suburbs, the police in Tian Du City would be there to stop them. But this area was not within their jurisdiction!
However, what did Zhou Yun mean?
...
At this very moment...
Lu Ming and the teenager in white looked at each other.
They saw this scene and were getting ready to strike. Lu Ming even prepared an entire set of cards for the teenager in white so that he could dominate the fight and save the damsel.
However, at this moment.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Many cold lights flashed and something came charging from afar.
“Be careful!”
Lu Ming and the teenager in white were alarmed.
Their plan to save the damsel was foiled!
Who had intervened?!
They looked instinctively toward the person who destroyed their plan. However, they were dumbstruck when they saw the sight in front of them.
These were...
There was a look of shock on Lu Ming’s face.
The teenager in white was dazed as well.
Crap...
“Do it now!”
The men in black sensed that something was amiss and hurried to strike.
However... It was too late!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Cold lights flashed.
Many beams of cold light appeared, blocking the enemies’ attacks and surrounding Zhou Yun. The beams of cold lights were like sharp swords...
Of course, if one looked carefully, one would notice that apart from the powerful auras of the attacks, there was something else that was very tempting. There were spirit bodies with watermelon, black pepper tiger meat, cumin tiger bone, braised donkey noodles, as well as a very popular item that was a hit on the Internet, the all-in gigantic wrap!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Dozens of Original Cards were suspended in the air, surrounding Zhou Yun with the food deliveries.
The men in black were completely baffled.
This...
What the hell was this?
“Food deliveries~”
Zhou Yun beamed at them. “This is a Sword Card Master Association business. As long as you pay the delivery fee, they can deliver food to any place in Tian Du City.
“They are professional, reliable and fast!
“Therefore...
“Before coming here, I calculated the time and place and arranged for them to send the deliveries here. What you are going to face now are the strong cultivators of the Sword Card Master Association~”
The men in black were dumbstruck.
Damn!
Food... deliveries?
Wait a minute.
The dozens of flashing cards are actually food deliveries? Where is the delivery man? We heard that Tian Du City used vocation cores to replace unmanned aerial vehicles and turns out it’s true!
However, it was ridiculous to fend them off with these cards!
“This is ludicrous.
“We will destroy you right now.”
One of the men in black was furious.
“Wait a minute.”
The leader stopped him, looking serious. “Let’s wait until after they’ve delivered the food.”
Sword Card Master...
If possible, they did not want to offend this powerful force.
The men in black had to wait.
Zhou Yun was much more patient than them. She sat cross-legged and started calmly healing herself right on the spot! She even took one of the deliveries and started eating!!!
The men in black were puzzled.
Why didn’t the deliveries... leave?
“They won’t leave.”
Zhou Yun smiled. “The deliveries have to be passed to the customer before the service is completed.”
“Time will run out!”
The men in black sneered.
“It’s okay.”
Zhou Yun was very calm. “I have already paid enough money for the delay. Oh, your young master transferred me the money before he died.
“Oh, right.
“It is impossible to kill me~
“If the customer dies, the deliveries will turn into negative reviews~”
Shush!
The Original Cards flashed upon hearing negative reviews.
Buzz—
Buzz—
They hovered over Zhou Yun with their deliveries. Dozens of lights formed a protective barrier around Zhou Yun, blocking all the attacks of the men in black.
The men in black were silent.
In that case...
They had to have a direct confrontation.
Shush!
The leader of the men in black waved his hand with a harsh expression on his face.
They did not wish to offend the Sword Card Master Association. However, they would not allow Zhou Yun to leave! Since they had no other choice, they had to complete the mission as soon as possible and leave.
“Kill them!”
The men in black struck ruthlessly.
However...
They merely came face to face...
Bang!
Bang!
The black figures were sent blasting and dangled from a big tree in the distance...
Crash!
Crash!
Loud sounds could be heard.
Large swathes of leaves came crashing down.
The men in black looked in terror at the Original Cards that carried the deliveries. These cards...
“Six-star!!!”
The leader of the men in black wiped the traces of blood from the corner of his lips.
He was slightly terrified.
He knew that Tian Du City was a first-tier city. They must be far more powerful than third or fourth-tier cities. But they never expected that the cards which made food deliveries in Tian Du City would be six-star!
This...
Was this the strength of a first-tier city?
Opposite them.
Zhou Yun cut the watermelon and ate it while watching the fun.
She was enjoying herself.
Well....
This was more interesting than her hometown.
Not too far in the distance.
At a corner of the mountain.
Lu Ming and the teenager in white were expressionless.
Well....
There was no hope of saving the damsel in distress.
Miss Zhou Yun had used the delivery system of the Original Cards to easily foil the scheme of the men in black. She was shockingly brilliant!
“What do we do?”
The teenager in white scratched his head.
“Let’s wait.”
Lu Ming sighed.
She had won the fight. It was useless if he appeared now!
However, come to think of it...
The lady seemed to have a good understanding of the Sword Card Master Association...
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
At this very moment...
The men in black climbed down from the trees in a shabby state. They surrounded Zhou Yun again. However, they merely encircled her, not daring to go nearer!
Thankfully...
The Original Cards did not take the initiative to attack them.
“What should we do?”
The men in black were at a loss.
There was no way to attack her!
“Let’s order food as well!”
The leader of the men in black clenched his teeth. This was setting a thief to catch a thief!
Food deliveries were after all food deliveries!
They could not really protect them!
Did she think that she was the only one who could order food?
They could do so as well!
Hence, the men in black downloaded the Sword Card Master Association’s application and each of them ordered food. They surrounded Zhou Yun, waiting for the deliveries to arrive.
After a long while...
The food deliveries arrived.
The men in black watched in excitement but were dumbstruck the next second.
A distance away.
An Original Card flew through the air, coming from the city. It carried a large box with it, hanging it on the card. There were dozens of different food deliveries in the box...
The men in black were dazed. Where were the dozens of Original Cards?!
“Fools!”
Zhou Yun sighed.
They should have ordered the food from shops that were located in different areas.
Since they ordered food from shops in the same area and did not indicate that the orders were urgent, the card took its time to gather all the deliveries before delivering them in one go. They are fools.
She was done with eating melon.
Zhou Yun got up lazily. The energy in her body was recharged.
The melons and fruits that grew on the snow mountain were indeed juicy.
“Everyone...
“Till we meet again~”
Zhou Yun happily said her farewells to the men in black and made a grand exit, strolling from the suburbs to the city.
The men in black anxiously looked on.
How could...
How could this happen?!
Buzz—
The Original Card floated in the air.
It had delivered them dozens of deliveries with dedication.
“Who the hell wanted food deliveries!”
The men in black overturned the deliveries impatiently, saying angrily, “Why did you send the deliveries using one card? Why didn’t you ask other cards to come?!
“Get lost!
“Leave now that you are done!”
The men in black were enraged.
The Original Card looked at the spilled food, feeling aggrieved. It then looked at the delivery order that was forced to end.
It was very mad.
It was very mad.
It was very mad.
After a long while...
Bang!
A mushroom cloud soared into the sky. The men in black were being sent blasting away.
They were seriously injured.
Lu Ming and the teenager in white looked at each other. They were not needed anymore!
“The lady is very smart.”
Lu Ming sighed.
The Original Card delivery business had just started up and there were some small loopholes. He did not expect that the lady would make use of those loopholes to protect herself!
Well....
She had planned it even before she reached Tian Du City.
Such talents...
What a lady...
“President!
“Calm down!”
The teenager in white tugged at the corner of his shirt. “You must think of Miss Xiaobai’s positive traits. You must not be fickle...”
Lu Ming turned sullen.
Damn it! Can’t I praise her?
“Don’t worry!
“I am not interested in her.”
Lu Ming sighed.
“I have to be prepared for any eventualities.”
The teenager in white felt embarrassed.
Seeing that Miss Zhou Yun had walked all the way to the city, the two of them decided to follow her. If she encountered any danger, they could protect her.
In the city.
Zhou Yun ended her order.
“It has been hard on all of you.”
She stroked the Original Cards that had worked hard. “I won’t eat the food. Bring it back to your master. These deliveries contain a lot of energy. It can help with the enhancements~
“I will leave a five-star review.
“Goodbye.”
Buzz—
The Original Cards flashed to show their gratitude and they brought the food back with them.
Lu Ming exclaimed in amazement.
“Well...
“I’m finally safe.”
Zhou Yun stretched her arms.
She took out a photo. It was of a handsome and cheerful man. One could not tear one’s eyes from the photo.
“Lu Ming...
“I am here for you.”
With that, Zhou Yun left.
Lu Ming was speechless.
The teenager in white was stunned.
After a long while...
The teenager in white broke into tears.
“President.
“I-I don’t want to be cuckolded...”
