Chapter 91 - 89: The Wasteland Plane
Compared to the scene of Lai Li and Caesar’s quarrel, Lu Hong’s situation was much more perilous.
Inside a private room on the second floor of the tavern, Lu Hong had been watching the two women stare at each other for a long time and couldn’t stand it any longer, wanting to break the strange and awkward stalemate.
"Um, shall we go out for a walk?"
"Tukulu! Speak! What is your relationship with this woman?!" Nono, having just eaten her fill, was full of vigor, and her outburst nearly made Lu Hong’s heart leap out of his chest.
"Tukulu, I don’t object to you finding a woman for fun, but at least not in my town," said Lai Li, her words more euphemistic than Nono’s blunt query, yet they were laced with venom, implying Nono was a mistress.
Nono was quick to catch on to Lai Li’s overt provocation and retorted angrily, "You’re the mistress, your whole family are mistresses! Tukulu and I are a couple who have gone through life and death together."
Gone through life and death together? Lu Hong was also stunned; when had he and Nono faced any life-threatening situations? Did that incident in hell count?
"Oh dear, little girl, don’t speak so definitely. Look at Tukulu’s face; doesn’t it seem like he doesn’t even know about this?" Lai Li’s observational skills were sharp, and she immediately noticed Lu Hong’s bewildered expression.
"You!" Nono turned to look at Lu Hong, who indeed had a foolish expression on his face.
Seeing Lu Hong’s face, Nono could not contain her anger and shouted, "Have you forgotten? At Sanky Slope, during the bandits’ ambush, it was you who shielded me with your body from the fatal blow."
