Only then did he vent the anger in his heart.

Meanwhile, poor Lin Xianfeng was still standing naked in the bathroom. “Big brother, can I put my clothes on now?”

“Damn, you’re still there? Hurry up and get dressed. It’s not as if anyone wants to look at you.”

“Ah.” Lin Xianfeng beamed with delight and hurried toward the door in great strides.

Unexpectedly, he stepped on the bar of soap he had dropped earlier, fell flat on his back, and let out a series of agonized howls.

Ye Lin contemptuously raised his middle finger. “That’s what you get for refusing to pick up the soap.”

……

The next day, everyone looked at Ye Lin with an extremely unnatural expression.

“Good morning, Little Ye.”

“Good morning, Senior Brother Ye.”

“Brother Ye, you’re here……”

Because it was already so late, there was no way to send Mother and his younger sister back to their hometown, so they would have to stay at home that night.

I cannot set a precise limit. As for Chen Song’s personality, I can only describe it within a general range.

“What do you mean, my pants are too flimsy? It’s obviously a problem with your stool,” Wang Yanyan said.

Qing Ran led the way, Chu Ge came second, Ji Boh寒 third, and Jun Zhu last. The four entered the palace in succession. The firelight illuminated the inside of the cavern, revealing rocks of every strange shape. In the flickering light, it looked as though they had stepped into the lair of demons from Journey to the West.

The Earth within the Illusion of Shadows could survive for another five minutes and twenty-five seconds. Compared with the final minute of life successfully mentioned earlier, the odds had increased fivefold.

If he found a task suitable for him, he would not mind accepting it.

Lu Zhen opened the iron gate. Ruan Jiaojiao instinctively moved to greet him, but before she could take a step, she met Lu Zhen’s unfamiliar gaze.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li felt as though a venomous snake had coiled around him, its icy tongue flicking beside his ear. The chill made him shudder violently; his face began to turn blue, and his scalp prickled.

“Bingbing, be good. Your brother-in-law will find a way.” Ye Qianhua stroked her head tenderly. Looking at her was like looking back upon the time he had once spent with Mu Xi, and his eyes filled with affection.

Xianyu Chen’s eyes lifted slightly as he gripped the Blunt Sword before him. Yuan Hu smashed down three times in rapid succession, each blow ringing out with a clang, and Xianyu Chen blocked every one with his sword.

The affection Zhan Lin had once shown him truly seemed like a dream. Everyone thought he was heartless and indifferent. Even when Zhan Lin treated him so well, he had continued to wear that cold expression. But who could have known that, during certain moments, he had truly been moved?

Knowing that nothing major had gone wrong with the Shi family, Linglong finally relaxed. Her eyelids grew heavy. Xingyu was just about to ask whether she wanted some water when she saw that the princess consort had already fallen asleep.

Shangguan Feiyun leaped into the air. A golden spear more than ten feet long appeared in his hand, and a brilliant golden radiance, accompanied by a heaven-shaking gale, swept in all directions and surged straight into the sky.

Several times, he dreamed that Li Xiao had suddenly miscarried. Terrified, he would wake and immediately turn on the light, carefully checking whether anything was wrong with her. Only after confirming that everything was fine could he rest easy enough to continue sleeping. Yet he could never sleep deeply; the moment Li Xiao turned over, he would be startled awake.

Ye Xueyan walked to a grave before the Phoenix Perches on the Parasol Tree. With a flash of light in his hand, three Spatial Holy Stones appeared upon the altar.

“You know that I’m a princess, after all. I came to find you despite disregarding my status so completely. Aren’t you touched?” Ye Yushu asked with a beaming smile.

Zhang Shengri spread both arms wide. Behind him, the Nine Suns roared forth, shooting one after another from his back.

This place, which Zhao Xuan felt bore some resemblance to the Anomaly Bureau, made him even more certain that Fei Dinan and the others were very likely the anomaly management organization of H Country.

That was right. Compared with the carefree Li Weimin, the gentle and attentive Yan Qi had indeed given her the care and consideration Li Weimin had never been able to provide. At the time, she had found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment, and she had trusted and depended on Yan Qi completely.

As for Consort Qi and Consort Nian, one had a useless son while the other had lost her sons one after another. Neither of them could truly be considered her opponent.

“……” Kazami Yuya retreated excitedly behind Mu Yuan. His cheeks were flushed, steam rising from them, and even his glasses had fogged over with a layer of moisture.

“Now you should understand why Mr. Su told you not to move recklessly, shouldn’t you?” Chen Yulou said softly after noticing the expression on his adjutant’s face.

Seven taels of silver had instantly been reduced by half. Gu Ye silently turned around and walked back to his goods stall.

Amuro Toru had many doubts in his heart, but in the end, he still chose to trust Mu Yuan and contacted his superior.

In the stands, Principal Watanabe grew more and more excited as he watched. With adrenaline surging through him, he waved his fists repeatedly and cheered at the top of his voice.

After grabbing and tugging at him, blowing his nose, and shamelessly clinging to Gu Ye’s legs, Tang Jian finally managed to give himself a chance to argue his case.

He was a man who liked to keep everything in the world under his control. Yet there were always exceptions, and even he could not control everything.

“Come!” Dou Chang’an gently grasped Bai Yun’s arm and skimmed toward the luxurious cruise ship as lightly as a dragonfly touching the surface of water.

At the same time, the dark killing intent of the night entered Chen Le’s body together with that strand of spiritual consciousness, ensuring that the consciousness could never escape again.

This was not the first time she had heard her colleagues at the company spreading rumors about her. Upholding the principle of peaceful coexistence, she had always endured the vile words she heard in the past. But today, she no longer wanted to tolerate them.

“You……” Nami touched the hat on her head and the treasure scattered across the ground. She knew that these were the things each of the two men valued most.

“I believe you. I can carry out the relocation, but I have conditions.” The security guard pondered for a while before finally speaking.

Ever since she had left after lunch, his mood had been so terrible that he wanted to kill someone. He had been practically desperate to chase after her at once and bring her back to his side.

Anyone familiar with Shenzhen knows that it is a city where high wages coexist with an even higher cost of living. Luoluo had at least graduated from university, so she should be able to find a job there paying no less than eight thousand a month, if not ten thousand. Of course, that was only the sort of salary I could earn after working for two years.

Three days later, Gong Yi had recovered somewhat. Ye Qingqing had already administered the first course of treatment, using a five-step viper. Like Sang Wanhua, he vomited more than half a basin of black blood. However, because Gong Yi was older, his recovery was not as smooth as Sang Wanhua’s.

“I understand what you mean. I’ve been studying finance on my own. I chose medicine because Li Hongming’s health is poor, and I want to take better care of him,” Dong Siyue explained.
