Volume One, Chapter 45: He’s Not a Homewrecker, He’s a Pure Admirer!

Chi Hua spoke, but intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the sisters Bing and Shuang, causing both their cheeks to flush crimson and their hearts to fill with contempt for him once again.

Throughout the entire event, the third brother and Li Da Zhuang stood by, watching in a daze, wondering what was happening.

He had a head of long white hair, with eyes shining like sapphires, and his handsome face, appearing no older than thirty, was steeped in severity and coldness.

With a sudden, cold laugh, Ashina Helu lowered his head without expression, leaned close to Tongluo Shesi’s ear, and without warning, plunged his curved blade into Tongluo Shesi’s thigh.

Even so, no one was willing to join this unit. In the end, the soldiers were all made up of death row inmates or those guilty of heinous crimes.

General Zhao was an old hand at this; lending at high interest rates was his second source of income, and the most profitable one at that! How could he not understand Yu Dayong’s concerns? So, he pointed with his finger: “Mr. Yu, do you know what kind of person Fang Fang is?”

Just a moment ago, Fang Cailing suddenly felt anxious and regretful. She regretted uttering such foolish, immature words. She was angry and afraid—was it possible he no longer liked her?

You’ve never seen the world, Ash, knowing only the beauty of rootless water, but compared to the nourishing treasures of the celestial realm, it is merely an ingredient for medicine.

With a slight smile, it seemed Wu Dawei still had some skill. After such turmoil, the nightclub’s customer flow had not decreased but increased. Clearly, his capabilities were not low, and it proved he had not misjudged him.

Soldiers without any military training either trembled on the ground or ran wildly around the barracks, only to be blown away by shells left inside. Some, seduced by the preachers, even charged out of the camp to attack the armored units.

Consort Li smiled gently and spoke softly, “Rise and speak.” Then she fixed her gaze on Qing Shuang, saying nothing more for a long while, her eyes so deep it seemed she wished to see through Qing Shuang.

Hearing this, Jun Moxuan nearly spat blood in her face, caught between laughter and tears. At that moment, Shui Dingdang, eyes brimming with tears, looked at him mournfully.

The power of the primordial wilds? Chen Hu, crouched beneath the bushes and on high alert, twitched at the corner of his eye. Soon, more than twenty spotted hyenas approached and surrounded the bushes.

As for the bonfire outside, under the onslaught of the rain, it was extinguished in less than a minute. Fortunately, Chen Hu had noticed the signs of rain and prepared in time, or he would have lost many things.

Liu Qi ordered a eunuch to summon Dou Ying. He knew Dou Ying was not easily swayed, and even his own invitation might not be honored. But Liu Qi was clever; he chose the Empress Dowager’s bedchamber as the meeting place.

Life springs from the intangible, and mostly returns as ashes to the earth, entering the next cycle. This is both an end and a new beginning—like grass and trees ignited by heavenly thunder, returning to the soil to nourish new growth.

They were not Guan Meng’s sons, yet they remained and followed him—not for anything else but for loyalty and righteousness. These virtues are often spoken of, but only in times of danger does one see their true meaning.

That cold, resolute figure sent a chill through Leng Ningxiang’s heart, making her shudder. Lan Xing’er seemed to be the man’s bottom line; as long as it was not crossed, he would be endlessly gentle and attentive.

Xiao Yuluo hesitated for a moment. His earlier performance had satisfied her, proving she had not misjudged him. Heat rising to her head, she began to undress.

“Master of the stars, the North Star descends! Shameless jackals, tremble in fear!” As Guo Qin opened his eyes, the North Star struck as well.

The two exchanged smiles and said in unison, “You choose.” After all, she was always the one to make the final decision.

Yet he was a man of resolve; no matter how much he despised something, when the enemy was unknown and the situation unclear, he would not force the issue—he would merely curse and then let it go.

It was nothing but a fear-induced illusion; judging by her current figure, no one would suspect that Ming Yue was already pregnant.

The rooster’s “surprise attack” failed; its eyes betrayed panic as it hurriedly raised its claws to block the steel pipe, then, without suspense, was thrown aside, crashing heavily into the wall of the coop.

Ming Yue wanted to say that, at this point, whatever attitude she took would be useless! She had considered withdrawing more than once, but something always held her back.

“No, Gao Hongfei, you’ve never done anything wrong. In my heart, you’ve always been wonderful.” Gao Hongfei’s eyes were full of grievance, his expression solemn. Jiang Yuanjun felt guilty, and her true feelings slipped out unconsciously.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuanjun felt short of breath and vented her frustration on the rope. When she couldn’t untie it, she simply took the scissors and cut it through.

“Put away your tricks, and don’t lead Lan Xing astray.” Shen Mingkai took the wine directly from Yi Chen’s hand.

Bajie leaped three feet high, and Sha Monk was delighted. After carrying luggage and doing hard labor all day, he could finally relax.

Hao Tingting looked up at Yu Minghui, trying to judge whether she spoke the truth. But Yu Minghui’s solemn expression showed no sign of lying.

“Li Shanshan just called me, said she wanted to have dinner together, I…” Ouyang said awkwardly.

She hadn’t expected so much trouble at a birthday banquet—first Mo Yafu, then something about software discs... She had no idea what was so important to Gu Jingnan; perhaps it was Mo Yafu, or perhaps it was the disc itself.
