Chapter 254 - Another Monster (1/2)
A shiver ran through Huangpu Qingtian and his knuckles turned white. He turned, like the rest, to where the voice came from.
To see a figure in a billowing black cloak, wielding a sword of unmatched edge, yet sheathed for now. But that could not hide the dread and power it instilled in the hearts of all present!
Especially when he held two girls in his arms, the same ones Huangpu Qingtian was about to kill.
[How?]
The mangled bodies and the torn limbs were nowhere to be seen. How were they still in one piece? [Did this man just do the impossible? Did he save them without even Huangpu Qingtian noticing?]
[That’s absurd!] Who could ever pull such a feat such as saving someone from right under Heaven-shaking Dragon Lord’s nose, and at the last second too!
Not even the feeting feet Lin Xuanfeng could pull it off.
[Who the hell is this guy?]
Eyes filled with shock and intrigue graced the black figure. Not even Huangpu Qingtian could stop his eye from twitching. It was a rare sight to see him lose his voice.
Because it had never happened to him, ever…
Once the haze passed, Luo Yunchang was still trying to make sense of everything. One second she was staring death in the face, and the next she was in the arms of a robed man.
Xue Ningxiang didn’t fare any better, but the familiar flickering forced her eyes on the man’s hand, on the sparkling Thunder Ring, “Big brother Zhuo, you’re alright!”
Her words earned the gasp of the crowd.
Easing them down, Zhuo Fan smiled and pulled back his cowl to reveal the same familiar face that some cherished, some hated, and some reviled.
Yes sir, he was the one and only Soaring Demonic Dragon. Who made sure to leave chaos in his wake wherever he went, Zhuo Fan!
Smiling to Xue Ningxiang, Zhuo Fan showed a rare calmness, “Ning’er, it’s been a while!”
Xue Ningxiang nodded a smile, lowering her bashful face. Xie Tianyang was still crawling and couldn’t for the life of him decide which was better, life or death. He was thrilled that Xue Ningxiang was safe and sound. But the deep gaze Xue Ningxiang gave Zhuo Fan made him feel his life was over!
[Ning’er, why have you never looked at me like that?]
Bam!
Zhuo Fan stumbled forward and held his butt. He snapped back irate, “Young miss, what’s wrong? We haven’t seen…”
His words soon stopped though. Because Luo Yunchang was looking at him with teary eyes and a reproachful glare.
“You are asking me? What about you? Where the hell did you run off to for the past five years? I was worried sick!”
Luo Yunchang raved, but she couldn’t mask the joy bursting from her chest as she forgot where she was and jumped into his arms, her tears falling nonstop.
She wanted to hold him close to her heart and never let him go.
Zhuo Fan was caught unprepared, not knowing how to even respond, but ultimately deciding to hug her back.
Xue Ningxiang felt a stab of pain from deep within her heart. She should be happy to see Zhuo Fan again, so why the pain? But the sight of this young miss holding Zhuo Fan so close seemed to make her heart frantic!
Chu Qingcheng was no different.
Zhuo Fan was the husband she recognized back in Drifting Flowers City, and here he was, spreading his love! However reasonable and perfectly natural her brain told her this reunion was, her heart was another matter entirely. The pain was far greater than any wound she had ever received!
Two women’s love aside, the Four Tigers of Tianyu felt their hearts literally crack!
[Young miss Luo pined for someone else. That makes the five years we carried a torch for her go down the drain. We even fought among each other over her! This blasted and rotten Steward Zhuo is a clan thief in the truest sense! He even stole young miss’ heart!]
And yet, worries soon gave way to joy.
Watching such a touchy reunion, Xie Tianyang’s mouth split into a wide grin! [As long as Zhuo Fan has a woman, Ning’er will be devastated. The perfect time to make my move.]
[Whether it is Chu Qingcheng or Luo Yunchang, who cares? Ha-ha-ha…]
Xie Tianyang was laughing his heart out, on the inside, totally forgetting the precarious and quite deadly situation they were in seconds ago.
“For even a 5th layer of Bone Tempering woman to kick your ass, Soaring Demonic Dragon’s reputation is undeserving!” A brash and cocky voice burst Luo Yunchang’s bubble of happiness.
