Chapter 38

Liu Lingluo’s face turned pale. She had actually thought about the possibility of being exposed by the Zhang family one day, but she had not expected it to happen so swiftly. She could not help but feel resentment toward Mu Lingluo and the Princess of Yong'an; had they not come to meddle, this matter would never have been revealed.

On the surface, everyone seemed pleased, but in reality, the Grand Princess’s household was the one making a steady profit, for Nanny Wang was, after all, their person.

At the end of an ocean of dense ranks of soldiers stood a makeshift platform, upon which lay the remains of Hercules.

With a loud buzz, Su Mi felt her eardrums vibrate violently. Instantly, every gaze in the room darted toward her like sharp needles piercing her heart.

She was unwilling to remain in Qingxia Town for the rest of her life; only by reaching Yushui City could she touch the true world of immortality cultivation.

"Very well, no problem. Leave everything to me. I will certainly pass on everything I know and possess to you. Once you become famous, it will be said that you were taught by me, right?" Luo Ze nodded. He had a favorable impression of Mu Yi and was naturally willing to help him.

Those who had once stood side by side or raised their blades against one another had all slowly changed in appearance over the years.

Nowadays, every province along the border was essentially garrisoned by an army. Important regions, such as the southwestern provinces, were all stationed with a full-strength army, while provinces like Suiyuan, Ningxia, Qinghai, and Xikang were stationed with under-strength divisions.

It appeared he had finished his battle long ago. Standing there, he seemed almost to be waiting for Su Junyan.

Shu Ningge was at the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation. Although he appeared to be of the same generation as them, in terms of seniority, they should have been the ones to pay their respects to him. How could he accept such a grand gesture from them?

Politicians of Wen Boping’s caliber were all old foxes. Even if they were tearing each other to pieces behind the scenes and wished to see the other’s entire family wiped out, they would maintain a veneer of harmony when they met, smiling and exchanging greetings, saying, "Good morning, the weather is wonderful today."

The crocodile gained the upper hand. Seeing us step aside, its massive body did not slow down; instead, it attacked us with surprising agility.

Xia Qingxiao was slightly taken aback. She had not expected him to smile suddenly, nor did she expect him to genuinely admit that she had no flaws. She was well aware of her own shortcomings, so hearing this was truly a surprise, yet a sweetness unexpectedly blossomed in her heart.

Jian Lihua wore a look of satisfaction upon hearing Lin Rongshen’s reply. He knew the character of his grandson; once a promise was made, it meant he had absolute certainty.

How could Bai Tanhua endure this? He felt as if his entire body were about to explode. Unable to wait, he tore off her clothes and lunged forward. He was truly pleased with himself; this time, he had not gone soft. It seemed he was about to shed his "novice" status.

A sedan sped past, and she suddenly noticed her reflection in the floor-to-ceiling glass. It was distorted and ferocious, completely unlike her usual gentle and clever self. She suddenly stepped back, a self-deprecating curve appearing on her lips, then lowered her head and turned away.

Andy received a call from Tan Zongming and set off from the company she was visiting to head back to her own. But as she stepped into the elevator, she felt something was off, as if someone were watching her. She looked around, but seeing no one she recognized, she had to conclude that her nerves were playing tricks on her.

Because of the addition of Li Tusheng, the Han family’s ranking among the ancient martial arts families rose to the top. After all, counting the family head, they now possessed two masters of the Tendon-Changing stage.

Although he feared Young Master Luo Yan more, Si Kongyanfei’s gaze was like a blade; one look was enough to sense the murderous intent hidden beneath that seemingly calm face.

Of the four men in black, two were wounded, and they had lost one of their guns. The remaining two were left with two guns.

Of course, the meat inside was prepared with a secret recipe; it was exceptionally fragrant and served in large chunks. With the addition of hot peppers and cilantro, it left a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth with every bite.

Adding in the time for sightseeing, potential road accidents, and the return trip, they had plenty of time to catch rabbits, roast meat, and clean up the scene to restore it to its original state.

An Kelin narrowed her eyes slightly. An Kexin was being far too pushy, but with Mr. An sitting right beside her, An Kelin dared not voice any dissatisfaction, no matter how much she felt.

Mo Chuyi blinked her eyes as she looked at the offering table. It was her first time witnessing such a thing; she supposed the opening ceremony was meant to signify good fortune for the start of production and a smooth completion.

"You stay and work with Kunhai," Shen Qingyun said, raising a hand to stop him. Kunhai had courage but lacked strategy; Tom’s calmness and composure would allow Kunhai to perform at his best.

"I don’t believe that. It’s clear you are wholeheartedly in love with Helian Yao," Shen Shengsheng pouted and said.

The candlelight flickered, casting a warm yellow glow upon his face, softening his resolute and handsome features and making him look gentle as jade, calm and wise.

"How many days does your period last?" Di Mingzhe asked, his large palm rubbing against her slender waist as if the question were of no consequence.

Once the formalities were concluded, Wang Qiang felt a sense of relief. Now, all that remained was the renaming here at Lushan; the signs had already been made in advance, waiting only for the license to be updated before they could be hung.

"—What did you say?!" Jill was on the verge of exploding. The golden spiritual energy on her body burned like a raging fire, appearing almost tangible.

Although the school was on break, there were still some teachers present. Those who were unmarried or did not wish to cook at home continued to eat at the school cafeteria.

"Burn, my flame." Chris raised her hand, and a brand-new violet flame burned freely in her palm, containing within it violent lightning and the power of the parched earth.

Han Yi shook his head and walked in the opposite direction from Wang Jun. In the dim light of the lamps, Han Yi saw a petite figure walking toward him.

Kong Ergou was instantly dumbfounded. He never dreamed that the famous Marshal Zhang would give such face to Chu Tianshu, and his tone even faintly suggested that their friendship was not shallow.

That day, the screening began early at 7:00 PM; the morning and afternoon sessions featured other obscure films. Moreover, four screenings were held back-to-back that day.

At this moment, it was raining, and the courtyard was dark and cold. A damp and slightly chilling wind howled through the air.

"Old Bai, I understand..." Mo Feng slowly climbed up from the ground. Although he was covered in blood, his body had essentially fully recovered thanks to the restoration of the Purple Gold Gourd.
