Volume 1, Chapter 121: Stop Being Good to Me, I'm Not Worth It!

"Are you truly going out this time for business?" Li Ruochu asked earnestly, her eyes filled with a mixture of suspicion and concern.

Consequently, listening to what Heng Yanlin had to say at this moment, and then looking at him before her, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward. Liu Dong had thought of several ways to broach the topic of the Wood Spirit tribe, but in the end, every attempt was nipped in the bud.

Meanwhile, the two cousins had finished discussing Liu Dong's affairs, while the very man they spoke of had already arrived at the Gilded Club.

"You have a way?" Aria's listless expression shifted instantly. She sprang up, slipped into her shoes, grabbed her rapier and wooden sword, and followed right on Xia'er's heels, unable to contain her impatience.

Fortunately, as the representative for the Duke of Ning's estate at today's banquet, Su Jinxiu's seat was arranged right next to Song Ling.

Under the moonlight, her porcelain-white skin seemed to emit a faint glow, so beautiful it made one want to take a bite.

Imperial Princess Feiyu had been knocked to the ground by my flash of light. Bai Jinghong went over to help her up; Feiyu did not look well, but she kept her head bowed, finding it difficult to be the first to speak.

When interrogating enemies, he had always employed every possible means and extreme torture. These two audacious wretches had harmed Yunyang, and his heart was filled with such fury that his methods were even more ruthless than usual.

To the outside world, Gu Qingcheng was a high and mighty celestial being, absolutely untouchable. Yet, in the eyes of certain wealthy second-generation heirs, she was incredibly impressive, and here she was, loving Liu Dong so humbly.

Su Nan had actually paid the bill for the coffee this time, which only strengthened his resolve to teach Zheng Zha a proper lesson.

However, the post on the internet did not remain for long before Obito Uchiha had someone settle it, and no similar posts ever appeared again.

"Because she doesn't dare. As long as the Jin family remains in Hongcheng, they will never let her leave," Ning Buhui said unhurriedly.

"I seem to have heard that name before..." Bertila frowned, a look of recollection crossing her face.

We did not stay long in Rong County but returned directly to Yucheng. I did not understand the matters regarding the partnership, so I did not ask.

Before she could react, his handsome face began to loom infinitely large, until even the fine texture of his skin was perfectly clear. Mo Jingyuan's long, velvet-black lashes brushed against her face repeatedly, and she felt a warmth on her lips, as if being cherished, tasted, and savored with gentle persistence.

A long, long time ago, she had already met Leng Dianchen. Even back then, Leng Dianchen was just as cold and detached, yet his heart was kind; he had helped her up when she had fallen.

"Come inside and talk; there are no outsiders here anyway." Xu Rongyan curled his lips into a smile. His deliberate expression made me regret coming to see him. I should have done as Song Fang said—let him know nothing, and then proceed as planned.

Still, Mo Qianning had truly gone too far. How could she say such things? Wouldn't that only make An Ruoran feel even more guilty?

Before her words had fully faded, Young Master Ye, with his greased hair, suddenly walked over with a laugh, his eyes flickering with intent.

He naturally knew that this was likely Si Tian's younger sister, intentionally saying it to intimidate that grandmaster.

The tree spirits, who had been arrogant and overbearing just a moment ago, all turned pale. Intense fear surfaced in their eyes, and they screeched incessantly, their bravado crumbling.

This mecha was clearly seven or eight parts similar to the "Stardust" exhibited at the fair, only its sharp edges were softened. Its lines cascaded like a waterfall, possessing an inherent, natural charm that was both mysterious and unfathomable.
