“Those thugs that I couldn’t beat even with all my might, he could easily make them kneel down and beg for mercy, or even cry their eyes out, with just a few hits.”

“I admire him. I admire his martial arts skills, and I also admire his ability to not be afraid, nervous, or emotionally unstable in the face of anything, just like those hermit masters in movies.”

"But at the same time, I am also afraid of his force, even though he has never actually used it on me."

“I’m afraid of his indifference, I’m getting more and more afraid, afraid of us friends, afraid that you, my childhood sweetheart, are actually worthless in his heart.”

“I really want to ask him what we friends are, but I don’t dare to ask.”

"I'm really afraid of him..."

They were both afraid of that guy's terrifying strength and afraid that what they were worried about was true.

Lu Cheng really was exactly what he was worried about, the kind of big boss in movies who wears a disguise.

From the very beginning, Lü Cheng only treated them as tools.

Therefore, even if he had to do it all over again, he would still choose to take Mu Ningxue away.

Even if he and Mu Ningxue didn't have a future together, he didn't want to see his childhood friend fall into a foggy abyss...

Chapter 72 The Last Time

72.

……

"Aren't you afraid now?" Mu Ningxue asked.

"I..." Mo Fan was stunned. The magic artifact on his chest emitted a strange magic power, cooling down his heroic spirit.

At the same time, a deep sense of lingering fear suddenly surged up.

"I'm scared!" Mo Fan's expression froze.

Holy crap! What the hell is going on?

Is he possessed?

"It's good that you know fear." Mu Ningxue stood up.

"For the sake of our friendship over the years, and as an apology for what happened back then, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said tonight. Otherwise, if he finds out you still have feelings for me and even dare to make such bold statements, guess what will happen to you?"

Lu Cheng's feelings for her were always cold; they never warmed.

They are the same kind of people.

Love is not something supreme in their eyes; it's something they can have or they can not have.

When she was little, she didn't understand things, but over the years in the capital, she has seen a lot and has gradually come to understand.

Lu Cheng has his own desires. He is very realistic. While emotions are indeed important to him, they are not something he can't let go of, and they are not even as important as his own feelings.

Therefore, Lü Cheng truly didn't care about that incident back then.

He didn't care whether she had changed her mind, nor did he care about her past, or even how she was at other times.

What Lü Cheng cared about was how she acted in front of him.

As long as she loves him when she's with him, that's enough.

I don't care about the past, I don't care about the future, I only care about the present.

Living in the moment—Lü Cheng truly embodies these four words.

This is also the truth behind Lü Cheng's indifference.

He wasn't indifferent; he just didn't care.

After all, what's the point of caring?

Don't worry about things you can change; worrying about things you can't change is useless.

It only adds to the trouble.

She envied him, envied that he could be so open-minded.

Lu Cheng wanted to take everything, but he could also let go of everything; he was greedy, yet went with the flow.

So she felt relaxed when she was with him, without having to think about anything or worry about anything. At least now, at this very moment, she was alive and happy, and that was enough.

"But unfortunately, I already know."

Lu Cheng's cold, eerie voice suddenly rang out, and Mo Fan instantly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, striking straight to the top of his head. Any remaining thoughts he had vanished without a trace.

It's even more effective than the Mind-Concentrating Magic Artifact!

"Brother Cheng, I was wrong!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Mo Fan gave a standard 90-degree bow.

Lu Cheng ignored Mo Fan and looked at Mu Ningxue instead, saying, "You have indeed grown up."

Mu Ningxue used to be very naive; at least before Bocheng, this girl didn't understand anything.

But now, this girl sees things very clearly, and her understanding of him is almost on par with that of Ye Xinxia.

It seems that disasters and shocks can indeed accelerate a person's growth.

“I’m not a child anymore, I don’t have the right to be naive.” Mu Ningxue stepped forward and hugged Lü Cheng tightly.

"Are you angry?" Lu Cheng gently patted Mu Ningxue's back.

"Hmm," Mu Ningxue groaned.

Knowing is one thing, understanding is another, but that doesn't mean she can be indifferent to this bastard's scheming against her!

"Want to take a bite? Like before?" Lu Cheng placed his hand near Mu Ningxue's mouth.

Mu Ningxue looked up, giving me a look that said, "Do you think I'm a dog?"

Does it bite when it gets angry?

"Is not it?"

"Ow!"

Mu Ningxue glared at Lü Cheng's wrist and bit down hard.

asshole!

"Forehead……"

Seeing the scene before him, Mo Fan felt extremely frustrated.

Late at night, first he threatened me, then he fed me dog food. What did he do to deserve this?

"Have you had enough?"

"..."

Mu Ningxue released her mouth with a resentful look.

I can't bite it!

so hard!

It felt like biting into a steel plate; she almost broke her teeth!

“Alright, if you want to bite, let’s do it another time, another way. For now, just hold it in, okay?” Lu Cheng said.

Mu Ningxue blushed. "I won't bite."

"That's not up to you." Lü Cheng pinched Mu Ningxue's flushed cheek.

"You just bit me, so I have to bite you back."

"As for where to bite, that's my prerogative."

"You scoundrel!" Mu Ningxue spat lightly.

Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow. "What, you want me to bite you right now?"

"No!" Mu Ningxue grabbed Lü Cheng's wrist nervously.

"I...I'm not ready yet."

"Then you'd better get ready quickly." Lu Cheng tapped Mu Ningxue on the head.

"Otherwise, we'll have to wait our turn."

Mu Ningxue's expression froze. "Bastard!"

She understood what those words meant.

"Whether you're a bastard or a hooligan, you can't escape." Lu Cheng placed his hand on Mu Ningxue's head, channeling the magic of the horse talisman.

"I told you I'd only be responsible for one year. When the time came, why didn't you come looking for me?"

Feeling the coldness being suppressed within her body again, Mu Ningxue pursed her lips, "I don't want to cause you any trouble."

She didn't know what kind of method Lü Cheng used to suppress even the corrosive effect of the Ice Crystal Bow on her soul.

But what even the Mu family couldn't do, is definitely not easy.
