Chapter 97: Come, Let Master Bring You To Look At Goldfish!
Qing Ming City.
Lu Ming had just returned when his cell phone rang.
“Have you come back home?”
Zhang Yang sounded solemn.
“I just arrived. What’s the matter?”
Lu Ming found this remark odd.
“It’s good that you are back.”
Zhang Yang heaved a sigh of relief, he sounded cautious but was reluctant to say more. “Don’t go to the suburbs these next few days. Something big might happen.”
“Okay.”
Lu Ming acknowledged his advice.
Zhang Yang seemed reluctant to reveal other details.
“Has something really happened?”
Lu Ming was full of emotions.
That was right.
There had been symptoms of something happening for a few days.
It was just that the four-star and above cultivators seemed to be the only ones who were aware that something serious was going to happen in Qing Ming City. Other people were not qualified to be privy to this news.
What could it be?
Lu Ming raised his brows slightly.
It was impossible to ask around. No one would tell him!
Lu Ming went to check, there was no related information on the forum. There was only news from the police that there was a wanted fugitive and it cautioned everyone to reduce going outdoors.
Hehe.
A pack of lies.
Lu Ming pursed his lips. If it was really a wanted fugitive, there was no need to be so secretive.
Forget it.
It had nothing to do with him.
To be honest…
The Lunar Shadow legacy was about to start. Now that he had resources, Lu Ming hoped that there would be no last-minute changes. All he wanted now was to keep a low profile and lead an idle life…
He had no wish to become popular.
It was true.
Qing Ming City was too small.
There were only a few four-star cultivators!
Now that it was packed with powerful cultivators, ordinary cultivators might die anytime in their hands! It was safer in the city, the police seemed to have external reinforcements.
The suburbs?
It would be too dangerous!
He must be out of his mind to go out at this time!
“I hope that it will be peaceful.”
Lu Ming shrugged.
He would work hard on creating more cards these few days.
Right then, a beautiful lady walked in from the door.
“Hello.”
Lu Ming slightly nodded. “What do you need?”
The lady did not speak but looked at Lu Ming quietly.
This seemed like…
Lu Ming’s heart flipped.
He remembered that previously Xin-er stared at him but did not say a word!
Could this lady be… at the thought of this, he glanced at the hemline of the lady’s dress automatically. Eh… there… did not seem to be anything weird over there.
“What are you looking at?”
The lady’s expression hardened instantly.
“You can speak.”
Lu Ming was surprised.
The lady had a sullen expression on her face.
She even suspected that she had the wrong person.
“Are you Lu Ming?” the lady asked.
“That’s me.”
Lu Ming shrugged. Since she was not a spirit body, he did not need to worry. “Is there anything that you need? Do you want to buy a card?”
“I don’t need one.”
The lady shook her head. “I am here this time simply to get to know you.”
“Huh?”
Lu Ming was somewhat surprised.
“I am Gao Xiaoqing. You may not know me now… But it’s alright. Very soon, you will remember this name.”
The lady looked calm and collected.
However, the way she looked at Lu Ming was very strange. Her eyes were filled with resentment, anger, murderous intent, and some other messy emotions.
Lu Ming was somewhat in a daze.
He did not remember messing with this lady.
Gao Xiaoqing…
He was certain that he had never heard of this name.
“We will meet very soon.”
With that, the lady turned and left.
Lu Ming was confused. What was going on?
“Wow.”
“Master, you have love debts!” Xiaobai exclaimed.
Lu Ming glared at her.
She was only a kid, what was she yelling about!
He stared at the back view of Xiaoqing, he could sense that the lady was fairly powerful, or rather, very powerful. She was more powerful than him!
She was young and pretty and she was very powerful. She was certainly not from Qing Ming City!
Outsiders…
Moreover, there were things going on recently!
Did this lady arrive with the four-star cultivators?
That was possible!
What exactly had happened?
Lu Ming frowned.
If it had nothing to do with him, he did not need to care, however, this lady that he did not know had come knocking on his door. He had to know what was going on.
He could sense a murderous intent in the lady’s eyes.
Murderous intent…
Was it possible that she was another lady who had a secret crush on him and she was jealous seeing that he was with Xiaobai?
Well…
That was possible!
After all, he was very handsome.
Lu Ming thought about it.
He felt that it was better for him to know what happened today, otherwise, if this had really to do with him, he might be dead before he even knew it!
Who should he ask?
Lu Ming thought about it and had a target in mind.
“Xiaobai. Let me bring you to the suburbs to look at goldfish, won’t you?”
Lu Ming had a suggestion.
“Okay.”
Xiaobai was elated. He seldom brought her out to have fun.
“Good, but we must ask the principal’s permission before we can set off,” Lu Ming said.
“Okay.”
Xiaobai sent a message to her father.
In just two seconds, one huge black and bold word with a row of meaningless exclamation marks appeared—No!!!!!!!!
Ding—
Xiaobai had yet to reply and Lu Ming’s phone rang.
“Lu Ming! What the hell do you want?”
Jiang Feng was furious.
This lad must be up to something. Didn’t he know that it was very dangerous these few days and yet he wanted to go to the suburbs at night?
To look at the goldfish?
To hell with that!
There weren’t any goldfish in Qing Ming City!
He went to the suburbs with a lady last time. There were only black fish in the suburbs!
How dare he lie to him?!
It was ridiculous!
“What exactly happened in Qing Ming City?” Lu Ming asked calmly.
“It’s not something that you should know.”
Jiang Feng sounded solemn. “You can’t be involved in this.”
“I can’t be bothered at all.”
Lu Ming sneered. “But a three-star high level or four-star cultivator just came knocking on my door. Are you sure you are going to remain silent? If not I will ask my sister.”
Jiang Feng was speechless.
Indeed, this lad had a sister. There was no way to keep it from him.
“In fact, it’s nothing much.”
Jiang Feng sighed. “These few days, Qing Ming City seemed to have a special affinity and it nourished a potentially powerful spirit body. There are abnormal and high concentrations of energy in the suburbs. It is likely that it will appear these two days. The four-star cultivators from all places have gathered here, in hopes of taking down the spirit body.”
Oh.
Powerful spirit body…
It turned out that all the big shots were here to catch the spirit body.
Pokemon GO?
Lu Ming was between laughter and tears. “What’s there to hide from?”
“Hehe.”
Jiang Feng sneered. “The last time when something similar happened in other places, a group of three-star cultivators wanted to benefit from it and many of them ended up dead and injured. It shocked the world!
The spirit body is very special.
It had taken in a large number of living things and had evolved into a five-star and escaped.
Why do you think we need to hide it?”
Jiang Feng sighed.
Lu Ming was surprised.
Special spirit bodies were bound to be very terrifying! In such circumstances, three-star cultivators would definitely become cannon fodder. Therefore, they would usually not inform ordinary cultivators.
“Not all spirit bodies are offensive in nature,” Jiang Feng said lightly. “Some spirit bodies are inclined to assist and support. Some are even quite kind and gentle and their goals are to catch the spirit bodies and sell them.”
So, that was the case.
Lu Ming suddenly saw the light.
These people were really desperate.
“You must not mess around,” Jiang Feng ordered.
“Don’t worry.”
Lu Ming shrugged. “I am a Card Creator. I won’t join in the fun.”
“You are not allowed to look at goldfish as well!”
Jiang Feng warned him.
“I won’t do it.”
Lu Ming rolled his eyes. Who would look at goldfish in the middle of the night!
He hung up the phone.
Lu Ming thought about it and decided to close the shop earlier today.
“Master, are we not going to look at goldfish?”
Xiaobai felt very disappointed.
“There is no hurry,” Lu Ming pacified. “Next time I will bring you to look at a huge goldfish that can spit bubbles!”
“Okay.”
…
At night.
It was cold and windy at Qing Ming City.
One could occasionally feel a surge of powerful energy, or even hear roars and howls in the distance, hidden in the clouds. It seemed like a prelude to a rainstorm.
However…
Lu Ming was very sure about something.
Things were already going on in the suburbs.
“It seems like the spirit body will appear today.”
Lu Ming sighed.
Tonight.
There might be deaths again.
Shush!
Shush!
He drew the lines skillfully.
The spirit body had nothing to do with him.
This level of battle was beyond him and it was not up to him to intervene. All he had to do now was to concentrate on idling around and to wait until the Lunar Shadow legacy started.
He had always thought so…
Until…
Bang!
There was a loud sound.
The sky suddenly cracked, followed by a terrifying aura, accompanied by huge roars and tremors, smashing the security door at his house!
Well?!
Lu Ming was startled.
Before his eyes…
The security door was completely squashed.
A golden living creature pressed against the security door. It constantly twisted its body. The glittering lights on its body were very dazzling at night.
Gulp!
Gulp!
It spat out several bubbles from its mouth.
“Oh…”
Xiaobai who was awakened by the sounds came out from the bedroom with sleepy eyes, her eyes widening in shock as she jumped in surprise. “Wow, it’s a goldfish!”
“Master, look! A big goldfish that spits bubbles!!!”
Lu Ming was speechless.
Right now…
It was not about the goldfish.
He looked into the distance, many powerful auras had targeted this place and they came rushing from the far distance. Every aura was at the four-star level and every one of them was very powerful!
Damn!
