Chapter 40: The Man-Eating Tiger Case (10)

Xiao Man looked up and said, "Uncle, I plan to donate it to that old zoo. The animals there are so pitiful; they have no heating, no food, and they are always hungry and cold. They are all too old to perform anymore, left with nothing in their twilight years. I want to do what little I can to help them."

"Xiao Man, I'll donate my red envelope money to the zoo, too!" Zhou Can immediately raised his hand.

"And mine!" Zhou Shuo was also willing to help.

Zhou Ye’s handsome little face lit up with a smile.

He firmly believed that where there is a will, there is a way. In the vast sea of people, he searched bitterly for opportunities. With a resilient mind, the ability to endure the unendurable, and extraordinary methods, he was destined for greatness in the future.

Even at his peak, Fang Han could have easily defeated him, let alone now, in his severely wounded state.

Princess Rongshou’s birthday fell at the end of the year, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, just after the Laba Festival. With Empress Zhou framing it this way, the previous oversight was effectively covered up.

No matter how dull or tedious things were, it was merely the calm before the storm. Everyone kept their composure and refrained from mocking others.

Guliya was a martial artist and understood how crucial secret manuals were to a warrior. Since someone like Situ Heng had already submitted, he could not let this opportunity slip by.

"I’m not boasting. How about this: if you trust me, take me to see your brother. I can try to treat him. If you think it’s acceptable, I will continue the treatment; if not, then we’ll leave it at that. That sounds fair, doesn't it?" Liu Yan expressed his sincerity, which in turn made Kayoko feel somewhat embarrassed.

Upon smelling it, Helan Yao felt something was amiss. The ingredients in the medicine felt like a tonic, but while Long Shaoyan was foolish, there was nothing wrong with his health. Taking a tonic seemed excessive.

After all, the Empress Dowager had issued a formal decree stating that Princess Roushu was ill and recuperating. Yet, as luck would have it, she encountered Fushui. Seeing the biting night wind, the princess—who had once been treated with such prestige—was wearing only her undergarments and an inner robe. Her lips were turning blue from the cold, and she was shivering uncontrollably. She then heard her pleading in a low voice that she had something of the utmost importance to discuss with Su Ruhui.

The Daoist was prepared to join forces with Ling, Hongmeng, and Tianling to set up a seal to trap Xu Sansheng first, but the words had barely left his lips when they were interrupted by Xu Sansheng’s attack.

"Why don't you, Yan'er, take your Princess and sit in your original seat?" The voice was deep and resonant, carrying a sense of authority.

A figure swept in from behind them, landing lightly in front of Qiao Ningxi.

"Good morning, beautiful sister." Jiu'er yawned, rubbing her sleepy eyes as she came downstairs. Seeing Luan Qianjue already dining, she pulled out a chair and sat beside him.

"Hey, Brother Shi, why is your bed empty?" Lai Dabao noticed that only the bed frame remained of Geng Haoshi’s bed. "It even smells a bit strange."

"We are at the entrance of the People’s Hospital." I looked at the scene outside the car window and replied.

"What?" Gu Xiangyang was lost in his own thoughts and hadn't heard clearly at first—or perhaps he simply couldn't believe it. He couldn't help but ask again, turning his body to look at Wei Ran, who was sitting on the bed with dark eyes, looking remarkably calm.

Several powerhouses from the Mingque Kingdom, who used to be able to command the wind and rain in their own land, never imagined that upon arriving in the Mingxue Kingdom, they would be bullied to such an extent, losing all face. Using external goods to ransom Yu Wei—even if she were rescued, what reputation would remain?

Entering the Dark Earth early meant she could infiltrate the Silent Forest sooner. Once she reached the Silent Forest, it meant she was one step closer to the Spirit-Refining Stone.

If one jumped from a building, there was a chance of death upon impact, but jumping into a lake was different; it takes a while to drown. As long as there were a few good swimmers waiting nearby, if Zhang Lu jumped into the lake, they could immediately jump in to save her, and she wouldn't die.

Su Xi lectured for an entire class, connecting various mathematical concepts from beginning to end. While many students were left in awe, it also made Shi Haifeng marvel at Su Xi’s solid foundation of knowledge.
