Chapter 973: Destined To Be Nothing More Than Dirt

The look on Chen Qiyu’s face changed when she heard those words. She contemplated the identity of the person before her as her gaze fell onto the woman’s empty sleeve on the right. A name appeared in her mind, but was that woman not already dead?

Chen Qiyu suppressed her shock and fear and forced herself to appear calm. “Who are you?”

She wanted to brush the woman’s hand away, but she stubbornly remained her grip on her, refusing to let go.

“Haven’t you already guessed?” The woman laughed softly, her eyes overflowing with venom.

She continued, “I never thought that someone as filthy as you would still have enough dignity to cling to this world. You have some nerve, walking about in the open.”

Chen Qiyu’s expression shifted slightly at the mention of her past. Her initial hunch had now been confirmed.

The person right in front of her was indeed Lu Yunshuang!

A cold look flashed in Chen Qiyu’s eyes at the realization. A smile appeared on her lips. “It doesn’t matter how filthy my body is, it’s still better than someone whose soul is dirty and unclean. At the very least, I’m still brave enough to show my face in public, while certain others can only spend their lives cowering and hiding in the shadows. With that in mind, this is just the pot calling the kettle black!”

Lu Yunshuang’s expression hardened and she suddenly released Chen Qiyu’s arm. She whipped out a sharp knife and pressed it against Chen Qiyu’s face.

“That’s right, you’ve always only known to treat people with guile. Even though you’re living in a different city now, would you be able to show yourself in public without that face of yours?” With that, the knife in Lu Yunshuang’s hand was pushed down with the intent to slash Chen Qiyu’s face.

Chen Qiyu was prepared for this. The moment she felt the knife moving down, she gave Lu Yunshuang a sudden kick.

Lu Yunshuang stumbled backward from the strike.

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Qiyu darted off in the direction of the city.

Her current location was nearer to the little city and there was still some time before the city gates would close, which was why she made the snap decision to run there.

Lu Yunshuang’s expression changed. She shouted at Zeng Lunan, “Don’t let her get away!”

After saying that, Lu Yunshuang struggled to get back up, using her one hand to push herself off the ground.

She was frustrated when she saw that Chen Qiyu was escaping and she quickly gave chase.

Zeng Lunan did not really want to give the young lady any trouble. Unfortunately, Chen Qiyu had greatly upset Lu Yunshuang, and naturally, he would stand with his daughter.

He pursued her using the Light Body Skill.

Chen Qiyu was running with all her might.

She confirmed that the person was Lu Yunshuang. It did not matter if it was in the past or the present, Lu Yunshuang had always wanted her dead. If she stopped now, she would lose her life.

She could not deny that she was afraid, but she knew that if she ran just a little faster, she could survive as long as she entered the city.

Alas, it did not matter how much she exerted herself, she could never outrun somebody with Light Body Skill.

It was not long before Zeng Lunan caught up to her.

Without warning, Chen Qiyu felt as if her shoulder was pressed down by a rock that weighed a thousand catties. The next moment, she felt herself being lifted and thrown heavily to the ground.

Slam!

Lu Yunshuang had caught up to her by now.

Lu Yunshuang had given chase very quickly and she needed some time to catch her breath before approaching Chen Qiyu. She stepped on Chen Qiyu, who was seeing stars from the fall, and looked down at her haughtily. She said condescendingly, her words dripping with sarcasm, “You’ve never been my match. A woman as cheap and dirty as you is only worthy to grovel under my foot!”

Chen Qiyu managed to regain her composure. She spat at Lu Yunshuang when she heard those words and gave a roar of laughter. “Lu Yunshuang, if I’m a cheap and dirty woman, then you would be a rat in the sewers, filthy and putrid, not even able to mix with people in the open. Just look in the mirror and take a good look at how ugly you are right now. No matter how you try to demean me, you can never increase the value of your own character. A person who is as foul, vicious, and wicked as you is destined to be nothing more than dirt!”
