Chapter 131: Master, Lu Manman killed someone!!!

Mom, you still have a way.

Shh, keep it quiet, quickly hide the person in the box; we'll get off when the train stops later tonight.

Okay.

One tall, one short figure furtively bustled about in a carriage full of their own people.

Others watched enviously; they didn't expect it to be Granny Yang again catching a big fish—looks like their luck is still a bit off!

No one noticed that the woman who should have been knocked out by the incense twitched her eyelids……

Lu Manman felt her hands and feet bound, and a foul-smelling cloth stuffed in her mouth!

Hearing that mother and son's conversation, she felt utterly terrible!

Where exactly did things go wrong?

She had been careful, not touching anything suspicious!

How did she still fall victim?

And what about the railway Public Security Bureau on the train—are they just for show?

She's been missing for so long—why hasn't anyone patrolled?!!

Fear surged through her like a tide; she couldn't just sit and wait for death!

For traffickers, prey means eating them clean, then beating them into obedience!

Once the prey is compliant, they proceed with the sale.

She, she didn't want to suffer such humiliation!

She was born to live a good life!

Having just obtained the Jade Plaque Space, she didn't want to stop here; she was sure there was still a way to escape!

While she was thinking of ways to free herself, she had already been packed into a box……

Scatter more straw on top.

Mom, won't that suffocate someone?

No, straw isn't heavy.

Mom, although this woman looks ordinary, she appears delicate—could I play with her a bit at home before making a move?

Fine, since you're my son.

Hehe.

The man's lecherous laugh and the old woman's proud chuckle reached Lu Manman's ears, making her skin crawl!

Lu Manman waited until the surroundings quieted, then tried to loosen the ropes a little.

No good, still no good—tied too tightly!

Time ticked by; in the dark box, Lu Manman was so anxious her wrists were rubbed raw, which she didn't mind.

At last, the ropes loosened!

Her hand finally free, she immediately took out a sharp dagger from her space.

First she felt around, separating the ropes on her feet.

Suddenly, footsteps approached——

The train's about to stop—remember to act natural, don't lose your composure when questioned.

Don't worry, Mom, I've practiced; I guarantee there'll be no problem!

Ah, my stomach hurts—I'll go to the toilet and be back soon.

Go ahead, Mom.

Lu Manman in the box realized this was a good chance; the mother and son were isolated, she would take out one first, and the other wouldn't escape!

……

Half an hour later, the train pulled into the station. The carriage's passengers disembarked, and even after the train restarted, there was no sign of Granny Yang and her son……

What's going on? They both caught big fish—why didn't they get off?!!

Years later, when this gang of traffickers was caught and interrogated, they spilled the beans, causing an uproar.

Because that mother and son seemed to have vanished without a trace—no one ever saw them again……

Lu Manman washed the blood from her hands, pulled down her sleeves, and returned to her seat.

After her first kill, her adrenaline surged, and she trembled with excitement.

In the dead of night, the carriage was utterly silent; no one noticed the blood, nor did anyone see the act of killing……

As for the mother and son's corpses, Lu Manman recalled there was a man-eating Tibetan mastiff in the black market……

Reflected in the train window glass was a pale yet eerily strange face……

On Sea Island, outside the Jiashuyuan, night‑patrolling soldiers stood guard, giving a strong sense of security.

In the quiet little courtyard, coconut‑tree shadows swayed; a breeze brushed past, making the leaves rustle.

Inside, the previously peacefully sleeping Tangyuan suddenly puffed up and snapped her eyes open!

Meow.

Master, Lu Manman killed someone!!!

Shen Man also woke from her dream, drenched in fragrant sweat.

She dreamed that the original owner died with eyes wide open, staring blankly, as if reminding her of something——

Flee.

The next second, a clump of black gas appeared out of nowhere, exuding a thick malice.

As Shen Man turned to flee, she stepped on empty air and opened her eyes amidst a terrifying sensation of weightlessness.

Looking down, she saw herself dressed in ancient bridal attire, bound five‑fold to a spot on the altar?

The surrounding scene seemed like two armies clashing, beacon fires and smoke billowing, so realistic it was hair‑raising as if I were there myself…

Swoosh—

A sharp arrow sliced through the air, heading straight for her face.

Just as she closed her eyes in terror, awaiting death, a still sharper arrow struck the incoming one—Clack, the danger was averted and her life was spared.

"Two nations at war, why bother using the marriage‑alliance princess as a sacrificial banner?"

A man wearing a crimson‑gold mask and clad in red‑feathered armor, brandishing a bow, rode forward single‑handedly, using the horse's momentum, leapt onto the high platform, and cut all the ropes binding her.

In that instant, Shen Man only felt that the man looked strikingly familiar, as if the two of them shared a deep bond.

Just as she was about to ask who he was and why he saved her, Tangyuan let out a sharp scream, pulling her out of the dream.

Before she could recover from the fleeting glimpse in the dream, she heard the news, and the drowsiness vanished instantly!

"Lu Manman killed someone?"

"Yes, I can sense that the sliced spatial artifact now contains two additional corpses!"

Tangyuan affirmed, "With this, the Black qi surrounding Lu Manman will only become denser!"

It doesn't know whether this will harm its master.

"Why are we panicking? The one who should be panicking is Lu Manman herself."

After thinking, Shen Man felt that although Lu Manman's character wasn't great, she probably wouldn't kill indiscriminately.

Since she did kill, she must have had a foolproof plan before daring to act.

Someone like that is deep‑minded, willing to play low, and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals…

Right now she's set a trap for the other side; later they will surely seek revenge.

So she dug the pit without a single thought of feeling sorry for the other side.

Moreover, Lu Manman dares to kill and hide corpses in space; she's definitely a ruthless character!

Next, after the other side returns to the Capital, they will surely take action!

When the other side, after exhausting themselves stockpiling supplies, believes they can reach the pinnacle of life by using a spatial cheat?

She, however, will not let them have their way.

Shen Man yawned, a lock of dark hair draped over her chest, scooped Tangyuan into her arms, and comforted him, saying:

"Alright, Tangyuan, come over and sleep. Don't overthink it; you're still growing. Tomorrow I'll take you to a restaurant, and I'll have the head chef prepare a whole fish for you to eat!"

"Meow~."

Tangyuan's eyes lit up; a whole fish—how could a cat resist such temptation?

Sleeping alone has its own advantages; you don't have to worry about your hair being pressed down by someone else.

Shen Man lay down, half‑asleep, pondering a question: can she continue the dream she was having before?

She wanted to know what the face beneath the mask actually looks like…

That doesn't count as being fickle, does it?

She hasn't fallen for anyone else; she's just curious!

If her own man doesn't know, he probably won't get angry, right?
