Chapter 57: So Disgusted I Nearly Vomited

Bai Yu remained still, propping her chin and turning to show Si Yao only a proud, dismissive back. Bai Yu’s mother came out wielding a spatula. “You two, go buy me a bag of salt.” Bai Yu cleared her throat and stood up. “Let’s go.”

Once outside, Bai Yu turned to her. “What happened last time?”

He was tall and slender, a natural clothes hanger; the suit fit him perfectly, making him look devastatingly handsome.

Although Xia Qianqian didn’t take Fu Nuo seriously, Fu Nuo was, after all, the daughter of the Prime Minister—rank has its privileges, so she still had to treat Fu Nuo with the utmost respect.

When Fu Nuo woke, she found herself lying in bed, her whole body aching, her throat feeling as if it were on fire.

I glanced around; people were streaming out of the elevators of other buildings as well as from the concealed entrance.

After all, only when you possess something others need, and everyone knows that open trading isn't possible, will you be invited to participate in such clandestine exchange venues. Otherwise, given the strict secrecy, would they really invite you just for sightseeing?

Gu Mo Rongrong fell silent for a moment, her expression pensive, then sighed and nodded quietly several times.

“It’s just a demon crystal,” she said. It wasn’t even as much as Liu Qi absorbed last night—no wonder everyone was so shocked and couldn’t believe it.

Perhaps due to the struggle over the mirror, her carefully applied makeup had vanished, and her clothes were in disarray.

The crown prince knew this was a conspiracy, but he was powerless to reverse the situation. The world, once within his grasp, slipped away before his very eyes.

“Mother, do you know how my brother was injured? Has he seen the imperial physician?” Fu Yu asked with a furrowed brow, concern evident in her voice.

“There are such summoned creatures as well?” Ling Yun glanced in amazement at the blood-bonded knight, who gave off a strong sense of oppression.

Gong Qianzhu pulled a set of bedding from the cupboard and, looking frustrated, knelt down to carefully make a bed on the floor.

Under Lin Feng’s lead, the group killed with methodical efficiency. Lin Feng always drew just the right number of monsters, keeping it within the team’s capacity.

Chen Zihuan dodged the flying sunglasses, grunted, and walked gloomily to the living room door.

For a moment, he wanted to fly over sword in hand, but on reflection, even with the coordinates, he probably couldn't find the exact location. In the end, he decided to seek out Natasha instead.

I couldn’t help but open my eyes. The blur before me gradually cleared, and I realized I was still in the same hospital room as before. Everything felt like a nightmare, but when I awoke, I was still in this hospital, unable to leave.

She needed to use the power of the “Tide Organization” to help her dig deeper into “SHIELD” intelligence, giving her a chance to investigate her own origins. The reason she didn’t tell Zhang Taibai directly was most likely because she didn’t want to stir up unpleasant memories for him.

After the meal, a disciple of the Hidden Sect brewed another pot of tea to help them digest. This was specially prepared for Tian Ci; it wasn't that they never drank tea, but in that region, tea was so rare that only for honored guests would they serve it.

He seemed much more mature than when she last saw him—grown up, taller, with the calm and steadiness of a man. Yet this unsettled her. She suddenly realized that after so many years apart, the boy she once knew so well was now a stranger.

“Oh? Then tonight I’ll sleep with her, all the way till dawn,” Jiang Ciyun laughed in a low voice.

Ari, suspended in mid-air, heard Ye Han’s laughter and instantly shivered, her paws trembling as she tried to dart away. Yet before she could escape the terrifying force holding her, she was suddenly caught in a pair of large hands.
