Volume One, Chapter 54: Here is Ten Thousand—Leave My Son
Standing straight, Jiang Yingli could barely suppress a laugh. Even though Yuan Yanzhou’s father’s eyes were twitching anxiously, he didn’t dare stop Old Master Yuan; the old man was still a man of character—straightforward and forthright.
On Mu Tian’s chest, the right side bore a rough, four-legged turtle, while on the left was a line of fairly neat calligraphy: “Without Fei Ye, there is no peace—she is the only one I will marry.”
As she listened to the faintly sorrowful singing, Yu Ruo felt as if her heart was being battered by a torrential downpour—damp and sticky. The lyrics seemed to echo her own emotions; she had given her all, and all she was left with were countless wounds and endless pain.
“Can you guarantee the quality? I needn’t spell it out—you know as well as I do that Lianyan Pavilion has always demanded only the finest,” Miao Miao asked.
By her side, Miao Miao maintained her signature coquettish smile, but her hands, hidden within her wide sleeves, were balled into tight fists. Her carefully manicured nails left deep marks in her palms.
“Haha, I think you’re the one who’s underdeveloped!” Old Ai was delighted to have scored a comeback.
“Are you really that curious?” She shot him a sidelong glance, dissatisfied with his earlier words. She wasn’t foolish—how could she fail to hear the subtext in what he’d said?
When Rong Yun’s sword tip was only a finger’s width from Daxi Ying’s throat, he suddenly flicked his wrist, sending the blade veering away—aiming instead at Pu Lanye.
After checking the roster for Class Seven, Jin Fushun came across someone named Xiao Baizhu—could these two be related?
When Wei Rouyi spoke, it was naturally the Shadow Guards who responded. Their official rank was First Grade—much higher than He Yanran’s father.
Was Li Rui blind? Of course not! Precisely because he wasn’t blind, he indulged himself in feeling the suppleness of Xin Yu’s body.
Right now, no one knew where He Ziqiong was. All they could do was grasp at straws, hoping for a stroke of luck.
Though the lights in the house had all been extinguished, the moonlight streaming in through the window outlined Xu Shan’s silhouette.
Three things one beseeches in life—lovers, enemies; when one loses the way, help is scarce, bad seeds yield bitter fruit, old wishes remain unfulfilled, and peace is elusive.
Watching Xu Shan approach step by step, Zong Weixia summoned all his strength and let out a hysterical roar.
Who could have guessed? The irascible Demon Emperor of Demon God City never actually intended to clash head-on with the army of the Divine Windy Kingdom. He never truly sought expansion; all the talk of conquest was merely a ruse—a cover to build the Tower of Darkness, a pretense to open a stable passage through space and time.
Ruan Xia smiled—how could she possibly fail? This was a major nuisance, and solving it would make the landlord more than happy.
The assistant knew that Su Chen and his father had a strained relationship, so he had already cleared everyone out of the reception area on the appropriate floor in advance.
He already knew what was about to happen, so he decisively turned and walked in the opposite direction.
At that moment, the uncles who had been blocking Liu Neng’s way scattered like startled birds.
Moments later, once the white light faded, Mu Wange got up, set Dahei aside, and went into the bathroom.
Yet Beiming Shasha seemed utterly unfazed by his indifference; the colder he was, the more clingy she became. She was convinced, in her vanity, that with her status and background, no man could possibly resist her.
Only now did Shi Xiaoxiao finally stop hiding her emotions, for she knew exactly what she most wanted to do at this very moment.
Lian Xinying was positioned right between the two of them. The moment she saw Ji Fan draw his gun, she immediately ran toward him.
Hu Shanshan burst into tears, her sobs falling like beads to the floor. That slap had split her lip, coming so suddenly and with at least ninety percent of his strength behind it, that her head spun and her teeth bit down on her own lip.
