Chapter 434 Coping
After a while.

There is no sharp pain piercing the heart.

There was no system prompt sounding "exit the copy" in my head.

Opening his eyes, the woman in front of him was sheathing the rapier.

Zhou Ming moved his mouth, but the woman opposite spoke first.

"Don't get me wrong, I can take your life at any time, but you still have some use value for me, so I will keep your dog's life for now."

"I know the rules of Zhenlin City. Immortals have to abide by them, but I just want to break your rules!"

"In three days, I will come to your town, Lincheng, from the sky!"

"I want you to be ready to welcome me, and use the most solemn etiquette to welcome me on the grandest occasion!"

20 years ago, I passed away lonely and desolate.

After 20 years, I'm coming back in the spotlight!
Seeing the surprised and bewildered expression on Zhou Ming's face again, Jiang Ruonan smiled seductively, threw a handful of gold powder on his chest with his sleeves, and sprinkled it directly on the heart that could almost be seen. The gold powder squirmed for a while, as if it had life, into that heart.

"This is the Heart-eating Gu, which is connected to my mind and mind. When I move my mind, I will live if I want you to live, and I will die if I want you to die. If the master dies, the heart-eating insect will get out of control and eat up your heart, liver and kidneys." lung."

Zhou Ming suddenly felt a piercing pain, like ten thousand insects biting him, his face was sallow, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

The female devil in front of her said: "So, don't think about playing any tricks. From today on, your life is mine. Whatever I tell you to do, you have to do."

She stepped forward and patted Zhou Ming's face, and whispered in his ear, "Do you understand?"

Zhou Ming nodded his head with difficulty, and the pain subsided slightly.

Looking up again, the female devil had disappeared without a trace.

In the study, Zhou Ming was the only one left.

After moving a few steps with difficulty, he walked to the desk, turned the swivel sofa chair, and sat down slowly, covered in blood.

Heartfelt emotion.

Quite touched.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable and the world is impermanent. Zhou Ming, who thinks he has enough grasp of people's hearts and human nature, still accidentally stumbles into a struggle when facing such a weirdo as Jiang Ruonan.

In fact, from Jiang Ruonan's point of view, her reason for coming back for revenge is indeed logical and clear.

From the perspective of Zhou Ming and other normal-thinking people, the reasons she cited were so weird, so unreasonable, and full of loopholes.

People with average moral standards can find more than a dozen points of view to refute and criticize her.

It's just that people's thinking is the most difficult to reverse. Once they identify a certain truth and prove it to be the truth many times, then he will definitely stick to it, even if this truth only applies to him.

If in the face of this principle, there are a few people who do not abide by it, then there is a problem with the few people.

Obviously, Zhou Ming is the one in Jiang Ruonan's eyes who doesn't abide by the rule of "protect her with your life".

Evil sin.

intolerable.

Even to the point of "damn it".

What else can Zhou Ming say about this?
What's more, Jiang Ruonan's cultivation level is so high, I really don't know how he cultivated it in just 20 years.

"Look at Jiang Ruonan's long hair, purple eyes, and strange shape. He must have joined an evil sect and practiced evil martial arts, so he can practice quickly, far surpassing ordinary people."

"She has an extraordinary physique and outstanding aptitude, which is also one of the reasons why she cultivates so fast."

In short, the current Jiang Ruonan is by no means the same Jiang Ruonan as before!

"The current her has shed that layer of weak and harmless disguise, and has become an unscrupulous female devil. The current her is the most real her."

It's somewhat similar to my biological parents on Feiyun Mountain.

Zhou Ming vaguely judged: Jiang Ruonan seems to be more powerful.

It's just... the heart-eating Gu.

Shaking his head, it might be a complicated project to get rid of this female devil.

However, he basically confirmed that Jiang Ruonan had no intention of killing him.

If so, there is no need to be so complicated at all, and there is no need to talk so much nonsense, just do it directly.

If not, then it's because they have other plans and want to get something from Zhou Ming.

As for what you want?
Lingyuan gun, Lingyuan cannon, spirit factory, smelting technology, education mode, management mode... There are enough good things in Zhenlin City.

There are also tens of thousands of scientists, engineers, and elite talents in various fields, all of whom are coveted by all parties.

As for Zhenlin City and even the Hundred Cities Alliance, the creator of all of this - Zhang Shanhe, is the core of the core.

No one knows his worth.

No one underestimates his role and ignores his threat.

Even if he is more than 50 years old this year.

Even if he stays behind the scenes for a long time.

He has always been a key target of various forces.

Therefore, his living situation has become more and more difficult these years.

But Zhou Ming had to do his best to support it, because apart from him, no one could support the overall situation... especially in the case of the assassination of the three successive leaders of Zhenlin City.

He must not fall down, he must lead everyone through the most difficult difficulty.

It's just that after the weakness of Lingyuan Cannon was continuously exposed, the hostile forces of all parties became more and more unscrupulous.

Jiang Ruonan's sudden appearance added another huge variable to the current complicated situation.

But for Jiang Ruonan, Zhou Ming was not completely helpless.

At least he and Jiang Ruonan had been friends for five years... although the friendship was not very good.

And in Zhenlin City, he is not the only one who has friendship with her.

For example, most of the more than 50 students she led in the two sessions, her good friend Su Yunlong, are still in Zhenlin City.

So the next day, Zhou Ming had someone call Su Yuanlong, who was the vice president of Daxian College, and explained the situation to him.

Su Yuanlong was taken aback.

"Jiang Ruonan is back?"

"The cultivation base is extremely high, at least above the solid alchemy stage?"

"Also injured you, controlled you with Gu insects?"

Su Yuanlong kept asking questions, it was unimaginable that after 20 years of absence, when Jiang Ruonan came back, the changes would be so huge.

"Where is she? I want to meet her and ask her why she did this? Brother Jian Baiyi, did anything happen to her?"

Su Yuanlong wanted to talk to Jiang Ruonan and ask her a few questions.

"do not go!"

Zhou Ming endured the pain in his chest, and quickly grabbed him: "If you go like this, don't you take the initiative to seek death? Jiang Ruonan is a big devil now, and his cultivation level is far above you and me. You made her unhappy, and she took you Wouldn't my life be in vain?"

"This... I have a good relationship with her, will she really kill me?"

Su Yuanlong had a look of disbelief.

Zhou Ming pointed to the wound on his chest: "If it wasn't for my use value, she would have killed me. You are useless to her, why can't you kill me?"

This……

Su Yuanlong was powerless to refute, so he could only ask: "Then what should we do?"

"It's almost useless to talk about friendship with her. She only has two kinds of people in her eyes now: those who can be used and those who cannot be used. She will use those who can be used, and she will ignore those who cannot be used. In short, it’s all right, but you must not have the illusion that you are her friend, and she may listen to you.”

"For now, we still have to follow her, try our best to meet her needs, serve her comfortably, and let her get the illusory things she wants."

"Brother Yuanlong, I plan to do this..."

In Su Yuanlong's ear, Zhou Ming explained his thoughts and plans.

"Mmmmm~"

Su Yuanlong nodded again and again, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
