Chapter 59 - I Learned Sign Language
Seeing Zhang Mengmeng like this, Ruan Xiangxiang finally realized what she had lost and couldn’t help but feel extremely regretful in her heart.
If she hadn’t wanted to see Zhang Mengmeng make a fool of herself earlier and had truly loaned her the money, wouldn’t she be soaring high now?
Unfortunately, she also knew this stubborn friend’s personality. Once she decided on something, not even nine oxen could drag her back.
Just like every decision she made – dropping out of school to work, running away from home – this stubborn friend never once regretted it.
“Damn, I actually got to meet the hidden Number One Under Heaven today, this trip wasn’t a waste.”
“An expert is an expert, not only is her appearance top-notch, her personality is great too. Just look at this temple, definitely extraordinary. I suspect that what Hong Shan’s girlfriend said is true, she probably gave up leveling because she changed to a hidden class. That’s how experts are!”
A member of Dominating the World spoke in an extremely excited tone, immediately resonating with the others who all nodded in deep agreement.
Only Sword Demon Hong Shan was looking at Ruan Xiangxiang. “Xiangxiang, what’s your relationship with her?”
Sword Demon Hong Shan gave Ruan Xiangxiang a meaningful look.
Actually, it wasn’t just Sword Demon Hong Shan who noticed, Qi Tun Tianxia also sensed Zhang Mengmeng’s coldness towards Ruan Xiangxiang.
“You must have done something to make her become distant with you, right? To have this kind of expert friend but not know to cherish it, sigh, truly not knowing your blessings.”
Qi Tun Tianxia waved his hand and glanced at the dejected-looking Ruan Xiangxiang.
“I also didn’t expect her to become an expert.” Ruan Xiangxiang screamed internally.
But how exactly did Zhang Mengmeng become Number One Under Heaven?
She didn’t seem to go level up either…
This was a bit too bizarre.
…
After the group left with a regretful Ruan Xiangxiang, Zhang Mengmeng was about to return to the temple when she unexpectedly spotted a blood-red figure.
Instantly, a brilliant smile appeared on Zhang Mengmeng’s face as she dashed towards Jiang Cheng.
Her blue mage robe fluttered in the wind, her hair dancing with her movements.
“Skeleton Big Brother, you finally returned.”
Zhang Mengmeng grabbed Blood Raven’s skeletal hand, feeling a rush of excitement, a hint of joy on her face.
However, Blood Raven wasn’t infected by Zhang Mengmeng’s smile, but instead felt extremely alarmed and knelt down in front of Jiang Cheng.
“My Lord, I did not intend any disrespect…”
He could tell that the relationship between these two, one human one skeleton, was a bit intriguing.
Looking at the dazed Zhang Mengmeng and the kneeling Blood Raven, Jiang Cheng spread his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “It’s fine, this has nothing to do with you.”
“Many thanks, Master.”
Blood Raven finally let out a relieved breath and quickly stood up, hurriedly moving away from Zhang Mengmeng.
“Uh…did I do something wrong?”
Zhang Mengmeng was completely confused. Jiang Cheng and Blood Raven looked too similar, she couldn’t tell them apart.
Only after seeing Blood Raven kneel before Jiang Cheng did she realize how silly she had been again.
“Ah…Skeleton Big Brother, sorry, just now…I mistook you for someone else.”
Zhang Mengmeng shrank her little head, playing with her fingers in embarrassment.
“How’s your learning going?” Jiang Cheng gestured at her, but of course, he didn’t expect Zhang Mengmeng to understand.
“Huh? What’s Skeleton Big Brother saying again?” Zhang Mengmeng was perplexed.
But in an instant, a flash of inspiration struck her. She began gesticulating animatedly in front of Jiang Cheng.
“Got it, Skeleton Big Brother, I learned sign language! Look, let me demonstrate for you.”
After saying that, she fell silent and began earnestly making hand signs.
A moment later, with an expectant and joyful smile on her face, she looked at Jiang Cheng, awaiting his praise like a 3-year old child.
However, after Zhang Mengmeng’s lively burst of gestures, Jiang Cheng could only helplessly say:
“You learned it alright, but I…dammit, I don’t know it…”
“Ah…looks like there are things even Skeleton Big Brother doesn’t know.”
Zhang Mengmeng rarely saw Jiang Cheng’s awkwardness and immediately giggled. “No problem, from now on I’ll be in charge of teaching Skeleton Big Brother sign language.”
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng pondered for a bit before nodding.
A Silly Cutie rarely showed such thoughtfulness. Jiang Cheng also felt a long-lost warmth in his heart and naturally wouldn’t reject her good intentions.
But before that, he handed her the Blood Raven’s Fury Staff and Robe he was holding.
With this equipment on, unsurprisingly, A Silly Cutie would rank on the weapon leaderboard again.
