Chapter 360: We Can Try; Let’s See Who’s Faster?
“Country O’s Isa is famous now. She was really bold to dare to speak to Chu Luo in a dialect in front of so many principals and reporters. Wasn’t this obviously falling into the hands of Chu Luo?”
“I don’t think Isa expected Chu Luo to know their country’s local dialect. I can only say that she’s unlucky.”
“That’s true. Why do you think that Chu Luo knows the local dialect of Country O?”
“Maybe Chu Luo happened to have been to that place in Country O. After all, her husband is the richest man in the world. Isn’t it normal for her to travel around?”
“That’s true. In the Empire’s words, it’s like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.”
“That’s why people like Chu Luo are even more annoying. How did Isa offend her? To think she humiliated Isa at such an occasion. I heard that the principal of Country O has already asked Isa not to follow him for the next two days.”
“This… Ha! Chu Luo!”
Chu Luo looked up at the two women who walked in and looked at her in shock. She gave them a meaningful smile and then retracted her gaze to continue playing with her phone.
The two women looked at Chu Luo and thought that they hadn’t actually said much. Even if they had, it was the truth. They put away the embarrassment in their hearts and were displeased with Chu Luo’s attitude.
The two women looked at each other and decided to punish Chu Luo a little. They walked up to her.
“Hey, Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo looked up with a cold expression. “Is something the matter?”
“You’re the interpreter of the host, Imperial University right? We want to understand the empire’s culture. If there’s anything we don’t understand, we can ask you to help us translate and you won’t refuse, right?”
“Mm, sure.”
Chu Luo put away her phone and sat there without getting up. She looked at the two women standing in front of her with her dark eyes.
The two women suddenly had the illusion that they were inferior to her.
They were unhappy.
“My name is Lina. She’s Martha.” Lina introduced their names.
She then said, “Your Imperial University principal only brought you along as an interpreter. This proves that you know a lot of foreign languages. We’re from Country P. I’ve always been interested in your country’s Imperial literature, but I don’t know how to speak about them in Language P. Why don’t you help us translate?”
The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up. “Imperial literature is broad and profound. Are you making this request to deliberately make things difficult for me?”
“No.” Recalling what had happened to Isa, Lina definitely wouldn’t admit it. “I’m saying I like your empire’s Song dynasty literature, especially Song poetry. Can you help me translate a few Song poems in Language P? I want to study them properly when I go back.”
After saying that, she even took out her phone seriously and prepared to record.
Chu Luo stared at Lina and didn’t retract the smile on her face. She said, “I can translate if you want, but I have a condition.”
“We’re just asking you to translate a few Song poems and you’re negotiating terms with us?!” Displeased, Martha raised her voice to question her.
“Because… reciprocating is our empire’s traditional virtue.”
Chu Luo said indifferently, “You think I’m negotiating with you? I even think you’re deliberately making things difficult for me. If you think I’m wrong, we can get the principals to judge.”
“You…”
“Sure!” Lina interrupted Martha forcefully and said, “You can state any condition as long as it’s within our ability.”
“That’s right… My condition is that if I help you translate a few Song poems, you will help me translate a few 18th century poems by your Country P’s Poet XX.”
Lina and Martha: “…”
XX? Who was that? Why didn’t they know that such a poet existed in Country P?
Chu Luo looked at their expressions and was surprised. “Don’t you even know XX, the most famous free poet in the Renault era? Oh, I forgot to mention, XX appears as XXX in your current textbook. XX is his real name.”
Lina and Martha suddenly felt an indescribable sense of shame rush into their brains. They didn’t even know XX’s original name and had to be informed by Chu Luo.
Chu Luo tapped her fingers on the chair. “Let’s begin. Otherwise, Principal Tang will look for me later.”
Feeling extremely embarrassed, Lina and Martha weren’t in the mood to let her translate any poems anymore.
Lina said, “I suddenly remembered that our principal asked me to get something. Let’s leave the translation for next time. We’ve been here for a while.”
With that, she pulled Martha away.
Watching the two of them leave, Chu Luo pursed her lips in boredom.
Then, she suddenly looked at the woman sitting beside her and asked in a low voice, “Is the show good?”
The woman’s expression didn’t change much. When Chu Luo asked this, that woman finished putting on her lipstick before standing up and walking towards Chu Luo in her high heels.
With a cold expression, she said, “Chu Luo, come with me.”
Chu Luo pulled a long face. “What if I refuse?”
“Pfft.”
The woman sneered. The expression on her cold face turned stern. She quickly took out a small gun from her bag and pointed it at her. “Whether to stay or leave, it’s not your call.”
“Is that so?” Chu Luo looked at the gun in the woman’s hand and slowly named the model. When surprise flashed across the woman’s eyes, she added, “This kind of gun is about to be eliminated at my house.”
After saying that, she reached out and covered the muzzle.
The woman was stunned by her boldness. In the next second, her expression turned stern. “Do you think I don’t dare to shoot you?”
“Then go ahead and shoot.” After saying that, Chu Luo also took out a gun and pointed it at her. “We can try. Let’s see who’s faster.”
With that, she pulled the trigger without giving the woman a chance to react.
Pfft!
“Er…”
Shocked, the woman covered the spot where she had been shot with her other hand. With a ruthless expression, she pulled the trigger too.
Pfft!
“Ooh…”
Chu Luo looked at the woman who had fallen to the ground and had a pained and disbelieving expression after being shot twice. She said with a smile, “I said that your gun won’t do, but you didn’t believe me. Look, didn’t you hit yourself now?”
The woman suddenly looked up at her. Even after being shot twice, the murderous glint in her eyes didn’t diminish at all.
Chu Luo shook her finger and the woman’s murderous eyes immediately became confused.
“Tell me, who sent you?”
“It’s… Pfft…”
The moment the woman spoke, a bullet hit her heart. The woman died instantly.
At the same time, her phone rang.
It was a call from Li Yan.
Li Yan’s voice was filled with a strong murderous aura. “Luoluo, my men will deal with the rest. Don’t dirty your hand.”
Chu Luo responded with an “Mm”.
At this moment, a few more footsteps came from outside.
Chu Luo hung up the phone and sent the woman in front of her to her accomplice.
The person outside the door walked in.
Seeing Chu Luo standing by the window, everyone looked at each other.
“Chu Luo.”
Chu Luo turned around and saw Enilan walking towards her with a friendly smile.
“Chu Luo, we were just looking for you. I didn’t expect you to be here.”
“Why are you looking for me?” Chu Luo asked calmly.
A man standing beside Enilan stared at Chu Luo’s face. He didn’t bother to hide the glint in his eyes.
Chu Luo glanced at him lightly.
Not only was the man not frightened, but he also flashed a trace of excitement.
He said enthusiastically, “Chu Luo, I’m a teacher at University B. My name is Aaron. I’m also here with the principal to interpret this time. When you’re free, we can communicate.”
After saying that, he even gave her a suggestive look.
As soon as Aaron finished speaking, the two men standing behind him started cheering.
Chu Luo’s expression turned cold. She was about to flick a pill over when she suddenly remembered that these people were teachers from foreign universities and planned to deal with him in a different way.
She put away the pill and said, “You want to communicate with me? Sure.”
Aaron didn’t expect Chu Luo to agree, and the glint in his eyes deepened.
Chu Luo continued, “As long as you dare, you can come to the Imperial Court Hotel to look for me at half-past seven tonight.”
“So Chu is staying in the Imperial Court Hotel. Sure, I’ll definitely be there on time tonight.”
After saying that, he flicked his fringe while the two people behind him jeered enviously.
Enilan had been paying attention to Chu Luo’s expression and knew that she was angry. She had originally thought that this woman was just so-so. To think she didn’t even dare to reject Aaron. However, she quickly came back to her senses. “Isn’t the Imperial Court International Hotel a property under Blazing Glory?”
Another woman covered her mouth and exclaimed, “Chu Luo is here. Does that mean CEO Li is also here?”
The others sucked in a cold breath when they heard Li Yan’s name.
Li Yan was obviously very famous among them. Their expressions changed.
It was only then that Aaron realized that Chu Luo and the legendary demon king were married.
His expression changed drastically, and a chill ran down his spine. His lips trembled as he said, “I… I was just joking.”
“But I wasn’t joking with you,” Chu Luo said calmly. She stared at him and said forcefully, “Just wait to meet me.”
After saying that, she walked out of the door, leaving behind the wobbly-legged Aaron.
