Chapter 175 Lu Shengnan
I was annoyed. Honestly. The girl was too direct and blunt for my liking and I retorted coldly, "I am my father's son and this is the name he has given me. The name which I am proud to bear and I am not pleased with what you said about my name."
The girl merely shrugged her shoulders at my reluctance to banter. "Moreover, I don't know that girl and I don't know that she's a friend of yours. Is it wrong to look at them and just grin?" I continued viciously. I didn't know what this girl was thinking; either to try to talk to me or she was approaching me only for some other motives. But most girls would have immediately left indignantly after such sharp words from me. But instead, she giggled. "Come on, there's no need to be so serious! I'm just trying to chat! There's no need to demonstrate to me your close father-and-son love!" I did my best to keep my face straight, staring at her with hardly any more words.
But the girl seemed rather impervious to the te

The kick landed right on my sore thigh. The afternoon had seen me running Heaven knows how many laps around the field. My legs had become so frail that I could have sworn they had turned as soft as marshmallows. A painful yelp escaped me when the blow hit my leg and I cursed, "Who the hell would do such a terrible thing!" Even before I could clearly see who it was, I swore, "What the hell! Are you crazy!?"In truth, I had no reservations of sprouting any expletives; not when most of the students in my zither class were almost my size, even though I was still the same scrawny boy fresh out of high school. I was never afraid to get into a fight, more so, when the odds of physical size were more or less even. Right after the chain of curses, I thought, "Here am I, tired as a log, and you dare come provoke me! Come at me then! But don't you ever blame me when I get my tit for tat with a Charm of Divine Sight to make you honest! Let's see how you'd dare come at me again afte

Hearing my name being called, I walked up to the two officers. "I am Murong Shiyan." Instructor Cao was wearing an ugly look while the other studied me darkly. "What's this? Some trouble for me? Is this what Lu Shengnan referring to when she said sorry to me?" I eyed the two army officers suspiciously, and the officer snapped to a salute suddenly! Even I was surprised by this and I returned the salute. "I am the platoon leader in charge of this year's exercise. My name is Song. I have been notified of what happened yesterday and please let it be known that I have reprimanded my man here for what he did. I have called you out today to tender our apology on his behalf and I hope you'd gladly accept it." He paused and turned to Instructor Cao and hissed, "Apologize, quick!" The junior instructor took a step closer and said, "I have been overboard yesterday, Murong Shiyan, and I apologize for my misdemeanor. Please forgive me." He must be trying his best to sound earnest,
Once Upon a Time Chapter 178 Finale Furor
The can of Coke I was drinking clunked with Officer Song's as we together toasted to a song well sung! We emptied our drink and I swung my arms dramatically as if drunk by the excitement and exhilaration of the atmosphere. But no one knew that when I swung my arms, my hand was aiming at the black mass just beside me! The punch landed right into the black bulbous mass with a soft thud and it careened away. I had no time to prepare any talismanic charms to deal with this malignant spirit, but charms were not the only one of the many disciplines of my repertoire in dealing with ghosts and spirits! My thumb was pressed against the stub of my ring finger when that fist smashed right into the black gaseous blob. This was a trick called the Vajra's Fist which faintly enchants one's fist with powers to repel evil. The strength of the punch might hardly be enough to fully destroy the spirits, but it was enough to show that I was not your ordinary university student!
Once Upon a Time Chapter 179 Clash from the Past
It was the second day of my break when Lin Feng, Chongxi and I went to one of our most-frequented town squares in Wu Zhong. We were watching a bunch of kids having fun with their roller skates. We usually hang out or eat together, all three of us. I would have gone to the internet cafe if I was alone; but with Lin Feng's lack of interest in computer games and Chongxi's lamentable ineptitude to master any computer game, loitering around seemed the only thing we could do together. We were just idling about when a voice called from our backs, "Are you Murong Shiyan?" I whirled and saw a burly man, sullen and visibly irate, standing behind ME. We eyed the stranger apprehensively and I said, "I am Murong Shiyan." The man gave a curt nod and said, "Please come with me then." I got up and the man was already walking out of the square, heading towards a small alleyway in the corner. Then I saw from a distance that two rows of men were waiting for us, numbering to at least ten.
Once Upon a Time Chapter 180 Foiling of the Windchaser
Anyone who knew about the history of China might have heard of the Black Ironclads. The elite armored cavalry that was instrumental in laying the foundations of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was famous for their trademark jet-black armor which became their namesake. “But if this rider in jet-black armor is a ghost of the Black Ironclads, then these riders clad in fur clothing and curved scimitars can only be barbarians from ancient Turk!” But there was hardly time for me to think. Another black-armored rider appeared out of nowhere, brandishing his long saber as he stormed at us! The side wing of the saber came dangerously close. Edelweiss and I immediately ducked, barely evading it by inches. Showing greater aptitude in dealing against mounted adversaries, Edelweiss immediately sprang from her crouched position like a tigress and pounced forward, drawing her golden dagger. The magical weapon sang as it escaped from its scabbard and sank its edge deep into
Once Upon a Time Chapter 181 The Champion's Bane
I was dumbfounded. "What did you say? Dragon's roar?" I spun to look at Edelweiss incredulously and she too, was staring at me; her large eyes egging me for an explanation. Then I realized even Zhu Mei's muted son was also staring strangely at me, hoping for an answer as well. I stared into a blank space, trying my best to remember as much of the details as I could. At length, I said, "Well... I don't know what happened myself. I saw how Edelweiss was injured and that made me very angry. Then I screamed suddenly. But it sounded like a normal scream to me. I wouldn't say it's that thunderous to the point that it's like a dragon's, to say the least..." Zhu Mei frowned at once. He placed down his cup and began thinking. I cast a confused look at the muted young man, who was mumbling incomprehensibly to himself as he was trying vainly to make several hand signs to communicate but I failed to understand him. Then I looked at Edelweiss, who was looking at me with a surprised

His face beamed suddenly as he reached the climax of his tale. He clenched his fists excitedly. "Finally, I found out how your father had restrained me using his Autumn Decline! You know how?!" I gave him a sideways glance and shook my head, indicating I do not. "It took me twenty years. I was out there, in the deep forest of the Canyon when it came to me out of the blue!" he said, immensely proud of himself, "My Windchaser magic allows me to control the ground and your father's technique allows him to control the air. Initially, I believed that as long as he's in the air, I'd not be controlled by him! Then I finally understood: whenever I run, there is always a tiny moment when both my feet are in the air! Your father had realized this when he saw me and he had been using this against me! Even before I landed, I had already fallen into your father's enchantment!" He slapped his thigh and exploded in roaring laughter. My head nodded slowly as I wondered,
Once Upon a Time Chapter 183 Another Fool's Errand
And that was all that Shang Pei was willing to divulge, in spite of the obvious fact that both Zhu Mei and he knew more than they were willing to admit. We hurried back from Inner Mongolia to Wu Zhong and my first stop was home. I needed to ask Father what was going on. Naturally, he refused to divulge anything too. But that hardly dampened my thirst for answers. "Why did you not tell Godmother the truth about her sister? You knew what happened to her all along? And how did the Dragon-slaying Blade go missing when you were supposed to be watching it? And how could Master Six not realize that you had achieved full immortality?" Father threw me a sideways glance, his narrowed eyes studying me for a second before he took a puff of smoke from his cigarette. "Why are you asking all these suddenly?" I slammed a fist into the table. "Father! There are people hidden in the shadows whose eyes are fixated upon the lost Blade and you! They believed that the Blade is
