Chapter 62: Lu Cheng

"Man! I’m back! Shall we meet up?"When Yu Man received the call from her good friend Lu Cheng, she was momentarily dazed.

"Chengzi?"

"Hey! What’s up? You haven’t forgotten me after just five years, have you?" Lu Cheng exclaimed in disbelief, "Have you got another dog now?"

"I don’t care! I must be number one! I want to be your best, best friend!"

It’s already been five years, she realized it’s been five years since she last saw Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng, the friend who was scammed back then.

Because of Lu Cheng, she first met Lai and... him.

"How could I forget? Didn’t we just talk last month? You’ll always be my best friend!"

Her friend had returned, and Yu Man was very happy about it.

"Humph! That’s more like it!" Lu Cheng’s proud voice came through, "I know where you live, I’ve already sent someone to pick you up! Judging by the time, they should be about there, hurry and bring your little one along! I haven’t met Manman yet!"

At most, I’ve only seen her in videos, which doesn’t count!

"Once you’re here, I have to rant about how I’ve survived these years!"

As an outstanding graduate of Jiuzhou University, Lu Cheng had already become an S-level Purification Master by the time she graduated, so she was assigned to work in a sea area.

Lu Cheng is like a lord, managing the entire sea area! But actually, the main job is to purify the Spiritual Sea for some Beastmen in the sea area.

After five years of tenure, she can retire, and also gain a large fortune!

It can be said, she’ll be financially secure for life.

Lu Cheng had been busy for the past five years, only occasionally keeping in touch with Yu Man! They hadn’t seen each other for five years!

"Okay, okay, okay!" Yu Man couldn’t help but smile, "Let’s talk when we meet!"

Yu Man hung up the phone and looked down to meet Yu Manman’s curious gaze.

"Manman, mommy has a friend, Auntie Lu Cheng, do you remember her?"

Yu Manman nodded, "I remember! Mommy mentioned, Little Deer Auntie~"

Lu Cheng, a Deer Beastman, with a pair of beautiful deer eyes.

"Auntie Lu Cheng is back, shall we go see Auntie Lu Cheng together?"

Yu Manman hugged her mom’s leg, "Okay~"

"Atier, you can come with me! I probably won’t be back tonight."

Knowing Lu Cheng’s personality, she’d likely keep chatting until morning?

"Alright, wife!" Atier smiled, revealing two dimples.

"Ding-dong—"

The doorbell suddenly rang.

Yu Man guessed it was the person Lu Cheng sent to pick them up.

"Wife, I’ll go and check the door."

Atier opened the door and saw a familiar male Beastman standing there.

"Atier, long time no see, my wife sent me to pick you up." The Beastman smiled, tall and elegant.

"Wife, it’s Shang Yuan." Atier turned back to tell Yu Man.

"Shang Yuan?" Yu Man walked out with Manman, "Long time no see."

Shang Yuan, a Cat Clan Beastman.

"Long time no see, Man." Shang Yuan nodded, "I drove here to pick you up."

"Then let’s go." Yu Man closed the door and left with him.

After leaving, Yu Man coincidentally saw Mu Zhi and Zor, who were with her.

"Man, who is this..." Mu Zhi curiously glanced at Shang Yuan.

"A friend."

"Oh, I see." Mu Zhi smiled, "I thought he looked like your suitor."

"Ma’am, I’m married." Shang Yuan explained.

"I see." Mu Zhi nodded, "Sorry, I misunderstood."

"Mu Zhi, do you think everyone, like you, has a suitor who is a noble?" Zor glanced at the car behind Shang Yuan, it wasn’t ordinary.

"Who have you seen that goes on a date with someone and brings their Beast Husband and child along?"

"Zor!" Mu Zhi pulled her back, "Don’t blame her, she just spoke her mind without thinking."

"Let’s go." Yu Man couldn’t be bothered with them.

Shang Yuan opened the car door, inviting Yu Man to get in, and Atier carried Manman into the car from the other side.

Zor watched the luxury car take off and fly away, a trace of jealousy flashing through her eyes.

"So Yu Man knows a noble friend?" Zor murmured, "But compared to your El, he’s far from it!"

Mu Zhi laughed, "What do you mean my El, not yet!"

Moreover, she saw that person’s aura, it wasn’t simple, not inferior to El, she didn’t know how Yu Man knew such a friend.

There’s a saying online that Yu Man graduated from Jiuzhou University, a place full of talented people, maybe they met there.

What a pity, she was only a dozen points away from getting into Jiuzhou University back then...

"It’s only a matter of time!" Zor joked, "Why haven’t you gone to ask your El out recently?"

Mu Zhi smiled wryly, "He’s been busy, there’s no time lately."

The day after she called, Elcaron sent a message explaining that he’d been busy traveling for work, and there hadn’t been a single message since.

"By the way, Zor, what brings you here today?" Mu Zhi changed the subject.

Zor bit her lip, angrily saying, "You wouldn’t believe it! My Beast Husband actually said he wants to divorce me!"

"What? Why?"

Mu Zhi was puzzled, since when do Beast Husbands ask for divorce?

This is really rare, nowadays it’s mostly the wives dissatisfied with the Beast Husband who initiate divorce.

Once someone has a wife to serve, how many can find another wife after divorce? Who would purify their Spiritual Sea?

"I don’t even know, they just said they don’t want to burden me, and are planning to divorce me and take Arthur with them..."

Was it just because I called them useless a few times? How dare they ask for a divorce?

If anyone should file for divorce, it’s me, right?

"When the time comes, I just have to apply for a match, and another Beast Husband will replace them."

"But..." Zor lowered her head, "Where did I ever dislike them? They’re breaking my heart!"

I’ve long wanted to get rid of them, but if this were really done, what would others think of me?

Mu Zhi was surprised and found it a bit odd.

She thought it was one Beast Husband, but both wanted to leave?

"Since they’ve said so, just let them go, but Arthur is your son..."

"Forget it!" Zor sighed, "If they want Arthur, maybe it’s just because they fear no one would take care of them in the future. If I took Arthur’s custody, they would be lonely."

"Although, I’ll miss Arthur too."

Arthur, a male Beastman, Zor didn’t feel any pity.

For years, Zor had always ignored him.

Mu Zhi nodded, "Zor, you’re so kind-hearted, otherwise why would you give up your own child?"

In Mu Zhi’s heart, offspring are more important than Beast Husbands, even if it was a male offspring, she wouldn’t give up easily.

Mu Zhi touched her belly, now eagerly anticipating the little one inside.

Mu Yaoyao stared at Mu Zhi’s belly, her gaze deep...
