Chapter 34

Xia Anling found a way to obtain Second Lieutenant Gu's contact information, and after much hesitation, she finally decided to meet him.

He had not taken leave for over half a year, and he had a premonition that this grueling life would continue indefinitely.

A stepmother plotting to find an opportunity to do away with her stepson, and then, finding a way to kill her husband.

Days later, Gao Pu, his three beautiful whiskers shorn and his face marked by three long scars, held a bronze mirror and studied his reflection carefully. Now, no one would be able to recognize that the owner of the terrifying face in the mirror was once the dashing Gao Pu, also known as Xiangxian, the Chief Administrator of the Eastern Peace Commandery Prince's Manor.

"Thump... thump..." Jing Yunxin could not help but feel excited, her mind constantly imagining the scene when she would finally see Shen Wanyue.

As soon as Yu Qingmei walked out, she heard him say that if she agreed, the family of three could continue their life together. She did not agree; she coldly refused him.

Would I be able to draw four Aces for a total victory, or would I be stuck with this single pair of Aces from start to finish, only for my opponent to make a desperate comeback with three nines?

"It doesn't hurt! It was just a moment of pain, it’s fine now, don't worry. You did very well!" Yang Qing said through gritted teeth to comfort her, thankful that he had turned his face away so Juan'er couldn't see his expression.

In such a situation, even a master of jade gambling would not take one or two failed bets to heart, let alone suspect that the raw stone was flawed. If they never suspected the stone, how could they possibly distinguish the real from the fake?

Yet, whenever he thought that he was doing this for the boss's own good, he straightened his back, even as his scalp tingled with nerves.

"Forget it... I'll just take it one step at a time. If Zhisen's enthusiasm is so high, then I'll just have to support him." Sun Xiao'ai lowered her head silently.

Quan Mo said indifferently, sitting down beside her. Because of his height, he sat two steps below An Ge, his long legs stretching out beneath her line of sight.

"Alright." Kang Fanni nodded, thinking to herself that she really needed to prepare for this properly. If Su Rui found out that Han Bin wasn't dead, that he was alive and well, and that he didn't even want to see her, she might not sleep a wink all night.

Just then, the bathroom door opened, and amidst a cloud of mist, Xu Jiayin walked out after her shower, dressed in a long-sleeved, plain-colored pajama set.

The most conspicuous part of the motorcade was Princess Yiyang's carriage. The Tartar leader's objective was to capture the princess first.

The evening breeze blew gently; deep autumn always carried a sense of desolation, and a red maple tree in the courtyard was in full bloom.

Not far behind her, Linna, who had originally left in the opposite direction, was hiding somewhere, secretly watching the direction in which Yan Duo'er had departed.

Shen Wanyu rolled her eyes helplessly. Wearing such restrictive clothing and a head full of hairpins to run to two different places—just the thought of it exhausted her. She looked up at Chu Mohan with a pitiful expression.

"I was thinking... what if I give her one of my latest designs? Do you think that would be good?" Lin Keni asked after some thought.

The cold, ruthless brows opposite her flickered slightly, as if a sensitive nerve had been touched. Li Huai stopped looking at her, turned, and walked out.

A street performer with a painted face and flags stuck to his back wiped his face, changing it into a great black mask, then kicked his leg, turning it into a bright red one. After changing masks more than a dozen times, the onlookers broke into applause.

"If I said I wanted to take her back to the Hostage Manor, would you find that believable?" Beiming Ao did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

He knew very well that anyone daring enough to accept this task was certainly not a law-abiding person.

The Taiji diagram in Shi Jue's hand struck his chest heavily just as the force was spent. The immense impact sent a shockwave through his internal organs.

Then, the teacher said we should go see another place. This "other place" was none other than the lonely grave of the teacher's father.

"Wait! You wouldn't happen to be the legendary God of Cooking, would you?" Chu Yuxin remembered the protagonist in the movie, whose knife skills were divine and whose dishes were considered absolute delicacies.

However, if the plan hadn't gone wrong, the casualty rate wouldn't have been so high. Especially the death toll; that would not have been so great. Serious injuries can be treated, but deaths are an absolute loss.

A long-lost sense of familiarity with the world surged into Zeng Yi's heart. Once this familiarity returned, it brought with it a deeper level of insight.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao's suppressed anger flared up again in an instant, burning so hot that she felt lightheaded, and she threw the soap she had just picked up.

It was not strange for an emperor to favor only one person, but what was strange was that there were no other concubines in the harem. No matter what Qin Keqing did wrong, he was always so forgiving; this was already an unparalleled honor.

"That's right, Xia Tian is actually quite popular at the company. I'm afraid someone might snatch him away," Lin Yiren said with a smile.

Seeing the man at the head of the group, Qing Zi's eyes widened in surprise and curiosity. She truly hadn't expected Huo Fengxing to be the one attending this meeting. Wasn't it rumored that he was at odds with the Wanyang Sect? How could he be here representing them?

Lin Xiao did not say another word throughout the process, carefully reviewing every detail of the raid plan. This was a dungeon he had never encountered before; he had to be cautious.

As for this Wood God's ability, it seemed a bit disappointing now. Luo Ron had originally thought it would at least be a transformation or manifestation-type ability.
