Chapter 80: This Is Her Younger Brother
Xing Ani clenched her fist, palm turned sideways, and glanced at Si Yao as she approached. Suddenly, she burst into laughter and threw out, "Si Yao, never fall for someone like him, and never let someone like him fall for you! He’s a complete lunatic! A beast! An ungrateful cur you can never tame!"
After her shrill outburst, Xing Ani turned and ran, paying no heed to her prominent pregnant belly.
Si Yao stared blankly, pressing her lips together in silence.
After a while, two business cars parked across the street. Four men in suits stepped out, casually surveyed their surroundings, then strode toward us.
The young man frowned in distress, looking regretful. "Then I can’t be friends with you. Goodbye." With that, he lifted his leg and walked away.
At this moment, dusk was settling in, the twilight thick and oppressive, mountain winds howling like a merchant’s call, weighing heavily on the heart. Lin Yin wanted to find Ren Yue, but didn’t know where to begin, feeling utterly lost. She wandered forward in a daze.
Qing Kong hadn’t caught their earlier conversation. The moment he jumped in, he saw Zhang Mo’s face dark as water, coldly staring at everyone present. Instantly, Qing Kong assumed Zhang Mo had switched bodies again, and hurriedly asked,
"Is kerosene suitable for attacking a city?" said Prumo Yi IV, still dazed.
"It’s free. Just keep it, thank you for your help, big sister. I’ll be off now." With that, he cupped his hands in farewell.
Liu Tianhao didn’t let him keep imagining. Since waking up, he’d only drunk a few sips of water; over the past seven days of unconsciousness, as Tai Shi Ci and his mother had said, he’d been fed nothing but liquid millet porridge. Now, Liu Tianhao’s stomach was growling with hunger.
Having successfully gotten a car, I drove slowly into the New Fragrance city district. Unconsciously, I found myself at the gates of New University. Though there were many memories here I’d rather not revisit, this was still the place in New Fragrance where I had the most recollections. So I came anyway.
Chen Tian’s heart sank. According to the rules, if more than one buyer appeared, an auction would be held, and he’d lose out.
Meanwhile, something seemed off with Xinan’s cultivation. After staying in his own room for the first two days, he began going out every night, only returning at dawn.
"Did your wife make this for you?" Luo Qingyi offered the pastry in her hand to Shen Hui.
There was nothing wrong with directing her to work; after all, she earned her living this way. I could only admire her for earning through her own labor.
Her gaze towards Shen Bin turned as if she were looking at an idiot, and she finally understood what Motina meant by needing to observe her brother further. Perhaps Motina had long realized her brother was all glitter and no substance—a complete fool.
Lan Lingyun waved her hand, releasing six twin-headed monster eagles at the peak of ten stars. She gave them a pot of supreme elixir, then tossed thirty students, along with Huangfu Xuanfeng and others, onto the eagles’ backs, sending them off in five directions toward the Beiming military camp.
The pill was so large it hurt his throat, but he couldn’t care about that. After catching his breath, he poured out everything that had happened yesterday to Nangong Yi.
…Now, whatever I want done, I have to see if Mai Tian is willing. Unless she’s happy about it, don’t even think about asking her to do anything.
Of course, this matter depends on Liu Cheng’s reaction. If Liu Cheng won’t agree, then they’ll turn to Liu Ningya.
Samoga was furious. He would never allow a precedent of failed ship robbery and extortion to taint his reputation among star pirates. So he destroyed the cruise ship he’d raided, causing over thirty thousand Federation citizens to perish, undermining the rescue plan and triggering public outrage and protest.
"Can this medicine really save a life?" Wang Bin watched as I swallowed the pill, then looked at He Su with doubt.
