Those who had just been mocking Mu Hanyan for seeking trouble and wasting energy had collectively fallen silent, filled with regret. Why hadn’t they searched a little longer? Just a bit more persistence and that good fortune would have been theirs.
As for Fourth Miss Zhao, her face had swelled up red. She had just mocked Mu Hanyan, and before her words had even concluded, good luck had indeed stumbled onto him. Her sentence struck her just like a loud slap forcefully hitting her own face.
I told you not to talk too much—now look, you’ve embarrassed yourself again. Fourth Miss Zhao was so depressed she wanted to slap herself.
"Ha ha, Fourth Miss Zhao, thanks for your kind words! My good luck truly is unstoppable," Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but feel overjoyed as he saw her stifled expression and laughed out loud.
"Hmph." Fourth Miss Zhao scoffed resentfully and hung her head.
Mu Hanyan ignored her, carrying the Exotic Beast Egg and walking away with Mu Cheng and others. He had no idea what kind of Exotic Beast it was, yet he was eager to hatch it and find out.
Behind them, Qu Fengting slowly sat down. When that Exotic Beast Egg appeared out of nowhere, he was also taken aback, soon marveling at Mu Hanyan’s stroke of luck.
However, his mood settled shortly after. It was just an Exotic Beast Egg after all. Even if it was strong, it couldn’t possibly be stronger than the supreme strange treasures within the palace, so he didn’t bother to fret over it.
Fourth Miss Zhao’s toes clenched the ground tightly until Mu Hanyan had walked quite a distance away; then, she lifted her head again.
"Enjoy it while you can—I want to see how long you can keep it up!" Murder sparked in Fourth Miss Zhao’s eyes.
There wasn’t much time left. Once the people from Zhengying Academy came to open the Barrier, she wouldn’t have another chance to make a move.
Tonight, it had to be tonight!
"Has the man Zhao Sinin mentioned agreed to the plan?" Fourth Miss Zhao quietly asked Zhou Qi beside her.
"We’ve agreed, are we moving forward then?" Zhou Qi asked, somewhat excitedly.
"We strike tonight," Fourth Miss Zhao stated decisively.
"Isn’t that a bit rushed? Should we wait for a better chance?" Zhou Qi hesitated.
This Mu Hanyan had been like a different person over the last six months, constantly making them stumble. Now, just seeing Mu Hanyan made him deeply uneasy. Moreover, this time, they were determined to eliminate Mu Hanyan, a drastic change from their previous minor skirmishes; hence, he was even more reluctant to act hastily.
"That’s enough. Zhengying Academy might open the Barrier and rescue us soon. We won’t have another chance if we don’t act now. I’ve already convinced Zha Zhenglin, and he’s invited several experts to help us. We shouldn’t fail," Fourth Miss Zhao explained, glancing at Zha Zhenglin not far from her.
Zha Zhenglin gazed at her with affection and obsession. Fourth Miss Zhao slightly lowered her head, her cheeks blushing—a reluctant yet welcoming demeanor that stirred Zha Zhenglin’s desires even more.
"This Mu Hanyan, it’s like he steps in dog shit every day with his ridiculous luck. I just can’t feel at ease," Zhou Qi fretted, noticing the affectionate exchanges between Fourth Miss Zhao and another. However, he chose to ignore it. He knew he wouldn’t be her man in the future; whoever wanted to be with her was welcome to it—he wasn’t concerned. What worried him most was the matter of Mu Hanyan.
In this last half a year, not only had Mu Hanyan’s mind become sharp as a tack, cunning like a fox, but his luck had also skyrocketed. Just earlier, everyone thought he was just fussing about aimlessly, but who expected him to stumble upon such good fortune and find the Exotic Beast Egg? Oh right, it wasn’t even him finding it—it basically smashed right on his head. Such good luck truly was unstoppable. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ nοvelfire.net
