Chapter 39: Gossip Partners-Casamento Relâmpago nos Anos 70: Madrasta Desafortunada Segue o Exército e Ganha Fácil com as Crianças(Quando a lua está cheia)

Of course, she must be held accountable; a person like that acts one way to your face and another behind your back.

After buying their meal, the family returned home. Huo Zheng had already cleaned the house before returning, so Lu Mingyue was very pleased to see the tidy floors as soon as she walked through the door. Her decision to marry Huo Zheng had been made in such a rush that she couldn't be sure how she would get along with this man in the future, nor did she know anything about his personal habits or family background. It was like feeling her way across a river by touching the stones.

The wizard remained in the air, making it difficult for the rogue to attack. The rogue had no choice but to pull out a crossbow and apply poison, or use other potions, in an attempt to hinder the wizard.

Beyond these compressed biscuits, there were also sausages made with minced meat. While more expensive than the biscuits, and not enough to fully satisfy one's hunger, they offered better taste and nutrition. Furthermore, he already had a clear plan for saving Huan'er's parents... and bringing Huan'er back to the Sanctuary Plane this time was one of the steps he had carefully mapped out toward that end.

At that moment, a "thud, thud" sound echoed from within the Coffin of Ten Thousand Beasts. I released the Azure Dragon, instructing it to look after Chu Qiao, then both Catty and I approached the coffin from opposite sides, inch by inch.

With that, Wukong's Steamed Bun Shop prepared to close for the day. The routine had always been the same: sell out of buns, then begin the frantic process of making more.

I buried my head deep between my arms. In the end, I was a harbinger of misfortune. When I was drifting from place to place years ago, I often wondered if it was because I was truly cursed, or if this was simply my destiny—that because I brought bad luck, everyone who became close to me would eventually die.

The Second Prince had been absent-minded the whole time, his heart already following Xue Wanqing. It wasn't until Consort An De designated He Linwan to be the Second Prince's concubine that he suddenly snapped back to reality, belatedly remembering the promise he had made to her.

In the lore of Kalans, the relationship with the Orc tribes had only softened over the last decade. The Snowfield Knights were, in fact, a third-party order tasked with guarding that particular region.

"My friends, for tonight's concert, I have invited several friends from outside the industry to be my guests. Tell me, aren't they beautiful?" Murong Xue asked loudly, holding Huo Wu's hand.

Feng Du’s words had an unexpected effect. If people had been mocking him at the start, they were now filled with respect and shame for their previous behavior. How could anyone mock a man who was disabled and born into such humble circumstances? Just because he didn't look "normal"?

A powerful mage could push the effects of this spell to the limit, leaving nothing within a five-kilometer radius hidden from their mind. However, for Jiang Jin, a delicate and frail succubus, the best she could do was spread the spell's effect across the bedroom.

Three seconds later, the solar energy reached a critical density and transformed into a terrifying beam of light, striking Su Bai's Black Dragon avatar.

The sun over the South Sea was like a giant fireball, mercilessly baking the fine, long stretch of sand beneath Ling Qian'er's feet. She raised a hand to shade her forehead and looked around; the blue sea and sky merged seamlessly, surrounded by lush, verdant vegetation.

With the mark and the power of the Underworld gone, and supported by a demonic energy that had increased several fold, Qianye spoke with a resonant, vigorous voice.

"Since she has said as much, you should just charge us the regular price," Bai Anye said, patting his sister's head. The girl truly shared his temperament—unruly and defiant.

Chu Nanle felt a bit more at ease, though she still had to make a trip to the Four Directions City, as the Shen and Wang families were attempting to drive up the prices of fire essence ore and black charcoal.
