Chapter 178: Chapter 178

Ding Lan ignored Mrs. Wu and walked past her with complete disregard.

Mrs. Wu leaned against the wall, breathing weakly and looked around for help, but aside from a few unconscious vendors lying on the ground, there was no one around.

Mrs. Wu hesitated for a moment, and with trembling steps, walked over to try and retrieve a phone from one of the vendors’ pockets.

Not knowing where the phone was, Mrs. Wu fumbled for a long time before she finally found it, and just when she was about to take it out, the person suddenly opened their eyes.

The sturdy vendor, upon seeing the withered, dark hand on his body, was filled with shock!

Is it that he can’t keep up with the thinking of the elderly now?

How could a lady of her age invade him, a greasy middle-aged man?!!

"What are you doing?!" The vendor quickly sat up after a brief shock, his eyes filled with vigilance and fear as he looked at Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu opened her mouth and said tremulously, "I... I want to borrow your phone!"

The vendor backed away a bit, still looking at Mrs. Wu with guarded eyes.

Borrow his phone? Humph! Could she be secretly saving his phone number?

He never expected that even at his age, he would be coveted by an old lady!

Thinking this, the vendor felt disgusted, "Borrow what phone? I don’t have a phone!"

After saying that, he stood up, dusted off the dirt on his clothes, and returned to his stall.

He didn’t remember being possessed by the Soul-devouring Clan, but the scene he awoke to after they left his body lingered in his mind!

Today, he encountered strange events!

He saw things science could not explain.

Moreover, that young couple seemed unfazed by these matters...

As soon as he muttered to himself, the other vendors slowly began to wake up.

Once awake, the vendors tacitly avoided mentioning what had happened and quietly packed up their stalls before going home.

In just ten minutes, the entire snack street was deserted.

Mrs. Wu was half-kneeling on the ground, every bone in her body ached, wanting to seek help, but there wasn’t a soul in sight.

Fatigue, pain, and despair swept over her in that moment.

Mrs. Wu closed her eyes in despair, feeling as though she was destined to die today, when a pair of white embroidered shoes appeared in front of her.

The owner of the embroidered shoes had slender, well-proportioned calves, and the white cloud brocade cheongsam fluttered in the wind with grace and beauty.

"Do you need help?" The woman smiled slightly at her. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

Mrs. Wu felt that the woman’s smile was very gentle, just a glance made her feel refreshed, and instinctively, she nodded, "I need to call my son, could I use your phone?"

The woman smiled warmly, "Of course."

The woman took out her phone and handed it to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu immediately called her son, asking him to come to the snack street to pick her up.

Wu Jin received his mother’s call, his brow furrowed, his son was in the hospital, he was already overwhelmed, how could his mother add to his troubles?

"Mom, I’m looking after Wu Yong, I don’t have time to pick you up, call Meizi and ask her to pick you up!" Wu Jin said, then hung up without hesitation.

Mrs. Wu stared at the blank phone screen for a moment, then called Wu Mei.

Upon receiving Mrs. Wu’s call, Wu Mei was equally annoyed, "Mom, I’m injured, I can’t even take care of myself, how can I come pick you up, find someone else!"

Wu Mei also hung up the phone.

Mrs. Wu was completely stunned, her life spent raising two children, they had always been her pride.

But now, when she needed her son to come pick her up, he wouldn’t come, and her daughter wouldn’t either.

What’s the use of raising children for a lifetime?

"Where is your home, let me take you back?" The woman smiled gently, speaking softly as Mrs. Wu was lost in embarrassment and despair.

Mrs. Wu nodded complexly, accepting the woman’s kindness.

No matter how her children treated her, she still wanted to live.

It’s just that what Lu Zechuan did to the Wu Family, she dared not find him to settle accounts again...

Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian left the snack street, their initially good mood turned sour.

"Mianmian, I’ve troubled you again." Lu Zechuan laughed lowly, his smile a bit forced.

After his twentieth birthday, Lu Zechuan seemed to have opened a door to a new world, and the tranquility behind him was increasingly disrupted by all sorts of oddities.

"You don’t need to be so polite to me." Xia Mian lightly pursed her lips, "I just feel that this isn’t the way to handle things."

Lu Zechuan narrowed his eyes slightly, indeed, mysterious people kept finding him, his problems were constant. Dealing with troubles passively would only lead to unresolved issues.

"I want to visit the Mystical World again." Xia Mian slowly raised her head, her gaze settling on the distant sky’s red clouds.

Lu Zechuan was silent for a moment, "I’m wondering how those things came to our world?"

He and Xia Mian needed the Cat Claw Jade and Su Yu’s array to enter the Mystical World, how could these unknown entities come so easily to their world?

Xia Mian seemed thoughtful, pursing her lips, "Perhaps, there’s someone in this world aiding them?"

As Xia Mian finished speaking, their eyes met.

Besides someone from the Heavenly Maiden Clan, they couldn’t imagine anyone else able to stir up the chaos between the two worlds.

"I think we need to visit the Gu Family." Xia Mian slightly narrowed her eyes, "To understand what really happened back then."

Lu Zechuan nodded, "I’ll contact Gu Heng now."

Lu Zechuan was efficient, within five minutes he had arranged the meeting place and time with Gu Heng.

Shengshi Chunhua Hotel was a property of the Gu Family, Gu Heng happened to be inspecting the hotel, so he set the meeting place in the top floor VIP area.

Though he didn’t know what Lu Zechuan wanted to discuss, Lu Zechuan taking the initiative to meet him, he had to extend the courtesy.

In the top floor VIP area, Gu Heng saw Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian hand in hand.

The couple under the sunset’s afterglow looked like fairies descended from heaven.

Gu Heng’s thoughts were momentarily dazed, once he also had a love cherished by all, unfortunately, in the end... Different clan, different heart indeed!
