Chapter 36: It Hurts Like Hell

Zhang Xiaorui remained expressionless and casually formed a hand seal. Meanwhile, Flowers Bloom Beneath a Full Moon was still typing furiously at the computer keyboard when he suddenly felt a cramping pain in his stomach.

The pain came without warning, striking all at once. In an instant, sweat began dripping from his forehead.

At that very moment, one of the chair legs suddenly snapped. With a loud thud, Flowers Bloom Beneath a Full Moon crashed to the floor.

“Good grief, that hurts! What the hell happened?” Zhang

“A nightmare? What did you dream about this time? Was it the past again?” Could Yuanji have dreamed once more of the scene in which his family had been slaughtered?

He moved his lips faintly, as though trying to say something. His eldest son, Jiang Yusheng, immediately bent down to listen closely. Then he nodded and said, “Dad, don’t worry. Nan He has already gotten off the plane. Zhi Hao went to pick him up, and they’re on their way here.”

The matter was far too serious to be decided solely by Zhao Jingyi’s reaction in that fleeting moment. He had to find another way.

“At last I can leave the hospital. I’ve been here for more than half a month, and my back aches all over.” Li Luoluo climbed out of bed and stretched her arms and fingers. Anyone would grow rusty after remaining inactive for so long.

But who could know what Xiahou Cheng truly felt? Who could know that he had forced Silver Moon to do this only because he wanted him to live out his life in safety?

Wang Qiang let out a roar, his hands moving even faster. In an instant, he had input a tremendous amount of information into the mecha.

Li Wenyan stepped into the place where the makeup artist had been standing moments before. He picked up the pink-tinted lipstick, twisted it open, and gently held her chin as he applied it.

“Is the Second Prince afraid?” Yi Yunshi deliberately wore a contemptuous expression, his tone laced with provocation.

He had just been about to say something, but after a moment’s thought, Mu Yue raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Fine. Since that is what you want, why shouldn’t I go kill that wild girl?”

As he spoke, he produced his staff. A portal, as seductive and sinister as fire, gradually took shape. Judging by his expression, he truly intended to go and kill Zhao Yue’er.

Looking toward the western sky, they saw that the sun had already sunk below the horizon, leaving behind a vast expanse of blazing red clouds that lingered unwillingly in the heavens.

“There are probably too many people coming to visit. The hotel has already been booked, and it isn’t far from Spring Garden. We’ll come back tonight.” Gu Shenshen glanced toward Spring Garden, then turned to look at the man’s face in the rearview mirror.

Cheng Xi felt as though she were playing a game centered on leveling up. No one knew what might appear in the next stage, yet that anticipation of the unknown was precisely what made the game so captivating.

Sun Lili: “There will be a second review, followed by a third. Each stage will be submitted upward one level at a time, reviewed and evaluated by different specialists.

“But I had no idea this person’s method of hiding himself would be so formidable. I searched everywhere, yet I still couldn’t find him.”

The Black Dragon King had established the feng shui formation upon Xu Jia’er. As long as Xu Jia’er did not leave Dragon City, the formation would continue influencing the Xu family and bring them wealth beyond measure.

Avoiding the few guards on duty, Chen Shaoming safely reached the first floor. At that moment, Cui Youzhen was in the kitchen preparing dinner to welcome Gao Anna.

The following day, training at the Orchid Palace proceeded as usual, while the other palaces conducted a further investigation of everyone present.

Besides, everyone was still shaken. If someone insisted on explaining the whole thing again under such circumstances, it would truly come across as showing off.

It was the depths of winter, and no matter how heavily one dressed, the chill in the air could still be felt. Didn’t this fellow feel cold?

“How large would a basement have to be for Chaozhou Xiong to fit that many people inside? And the Six Blessings Tea House is in the middle of a bustling district. Digging out a basement would make such a commotion—are all the neighbors deaf?” Gao Wei shook his head as he explained.

The Marquis and the others walked all the way to the main gate. They encountered security guards several times along the way, but those guards acted as though they could not see them, allowing them to pass right by without noticing a thing.
