My Co-renting Lady Boss-Chapter 1580 - 1579: Are You Acting?

"What exactly do you want?"

Meng Xianjun suddenly stood up and roared furiously.

"Abolish your own martial arts, and I’ll spare this woman. Otherwise, you’re too much of a threat to me."

His eerie voice threatened coldly.

"Fine, I will abolish my martial arts. Just release this woman immediately."

Hearing this, Meng Xianjun nodded without hesitation and raised his hand to strike his own dantian.

"Brother, are you crazy?"

Tang Ming swiftly stopped Meng Xianjun, "What’s your relationship with Lu Xiaolu? Why would you abandon your cultivation for her?"

"I... Are you just going to watch her die?"

Meng Xianjun roared through gritted teeth.

"You can’t just abolish your martial arts. Let me study it first."

Tang Ming released Meng Xianjun and began examining the bomb, angrily asking Meng Xianjun, "This person clearly isn’t after me. The target is Lu Xiaolu or you. Tell me clearly, what’s going on?"

"This matter is of great importance, I can’t tell you."

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming with difficulty, "Anyway, save her first and we’ll talk later."

"Brother, she’s about to die, what can’t you say?"

Tang Ming looked at Meng Xianjun speechlessly, "I’m telling you, this kind of bomb is nearly impossible to disarm unless I use extreme means to resolve it."

"Then hurry up and resolve it."

Meng Xianjun urged anxiously.

"It’s easy for you to say. To prevent this chemical bomb from exploding, I’d have to sacrifice nearly twenty years of my lifespan. Why should I?"

After examining it, Tang Ming was very resolute, "If you don’t tell me what’s going on, I have no reason to throw away my own lifespan."

"Really? How can disarming a bomb cost you lifespan?"

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming with skepticism.

"Disarming it is impossible, but I can eat the bomb."

Tang Ming pointed at the chemical explosive on the bomb, gritting his teeth, "I can swallow these chemical agents. As long as they don’t leak, it won’t explode. But it will have a big impact on my lifespan."

"Eat it? Are you joking?"

Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming with exaggerated disbelief.

"Then just consider it a joke. I’m not about to waste my lifespan."

Tang Ming shrugged, "There’s two and a half minutes left, what are you going to do?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Lu Xiaolu is your girlfriend, and you just want to see her die?"

Meng Xianjun roared in anger.

"I’ve said it many times, we’re not a couple. At most, we’ve met a few times."

Tang Ming snorted, "If it were Liu Mendting or Li Xiaoli and the others, I would save them without hesitation. But for Lu Xiaolu, someone I’m not close with, sacrificing twenty years of my life, if it were you, would you do it?"

"Of course I would. If it meant saving her, I wouldn’t hesitate to give up even my life."

Meng Xianjun shouted without hesitation.

"That’s you. You have your reasons not to let her die, but I’m not so noble."

Tang Ming shrugged, standing up, "Since you won’t tell me the truth, I’m leaving. If the bomb explodes, and I get blown up, that’d be unfortunate."

"You... wait a moment."

Meng Xianjun quickly grabbed Tang Ming, gritting his teeth, "Lu Xiaolu harbors a great secret, one that concerns the safety of all living beings and the rise and fall of the martial arts world. She can’t die."

"Who are you trying to fool?"

Tang Ming looked at Meng Xianjun with disdain, "Lu Xiaolu and I are from the same orphanage. If she hadn’t reunited with her parents, I might have believed you. But now she’s just an ordinary person, how could she be as significant as you say?"

"I’m not lying. Several super hidden forces in the martial arts world are collaborating on a shocking plan, and to start this plan, they need... her."

Meng Xianjun frowned, staring at Tang Ming with a grim face, "Simply put, my sect is one of the participants in this plan, and Lu Xiaolu is the key figure that I stumbled upon."

"A plan? Key figure? What the hell?"

Tang Ming looked utterly confused.

"I don’t know the specifics, but I do know that all parties have been preparing for this plan for twenty years. Once the key figure is dead, it means the whole plan can’t be initiated."

Meng Xianjun stared at the bomb that had turned into a countdown timer, "Hurry up and save her, it’s really going to explode."

"Okay, I’m saving her now."

Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, then his face changed dramatically, "Oh no, there’s not enough time."

"You..."

Meng Xianjun’s eyes widened as he watched the timer on the explosive change to 00:00.

"It’s going to explode!"

Tang Ming shouted as he quickly dropped to the ground.

"Damn it!"

Meng Xianjun cursed and promptly dropped to the ground, using his cultivation to prepare for the explosion.

"Today is a good day, a very good day..."

At that moment, an upbeat song suddenly played.

"What’s going on?"

Meng Xianjun, with his head down, looked around bewildered, realizing the sound came from the bomb.

"Oh dear, I’ve been pretending so hard."

Lu Xiaolu suddenly sat up, stretching her limbs painfully.

"Huh?"

Meng Xianjun’s eyes widened, realizing something, and he quickly looked at Tang Ming.

"Hee hee, you look like a turtle right now."

Tang Ming sat to the side, laughing as he looked at Meng Xianjun.

"You, you tricked me?"

Meng Xianjun immediately jumped up, angrily glaring at Tang Ming, "Was this all your scheme?"

"Don’t be mad, don’t be mad."

Tang Ming quickly waved his hand and ran to Lu Xiaolu’s side, "If you dare to act impulsively, I’ll choke her right away."

"Annoying."

Lu Xiaolu rolled her eyes at Tang Ming, playfully pouting, "Choke me, choke me then!"

"Hahaha!"

Tang Ming couldn’t help but burst into laughter, hugging Lu Xiaolu, "Old Meng, don’t blame me for testing you. It’s mainly because you’re too mysterious, and I noticed you showing special concern for Xiaolu, which made me uncomfortable. If I didn’t figure out the situation, I wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly."

"Bastard, you tricked me like this?"

Meng Xianjun was furious to the point of gnashing his teeth.

"Brother Meng, you better not harm him, or I’ll just end my life right now."

Lu Xiaolu quickly stood in front of Tang Ming, worried Meng Xianjun might silence them, "I still don’t know why I’ve suddenly become a key figure, but it sounds pretty important."

"Don’t worry! Although Old Meng is mysterious and unpredictable, we’re still friends after all. Now that things have come to this, he won’t resort to killing."

Tang Ming laughed as he looked at Meng Xianjun.

"Humph, is this how you treat friends?"

Meng Xianjun snorted coldly, glaring at Tang Ming in outrage.

"You never told me the truth."

Tang Ming unapologetically shrugged, "If your concern were others, I naturally wouldn’t meddle, but who is Lu Xiaolu?"
