Volume 1, Chapter 104: This Is What He Had Always Wanted to Do

“……”

Fu Yuting was utterly speechless.

Her heart pounded fiercely within her chest, each beat echoing vividly the earth-shattering words just spoken by Bo Xingzhou.

Bo Xingzhou’s gaze was cold yet burning, carrying an unquestionable seriousness and dominance that shattered any self-deception she had left, dispelling the illusion that this was merely a performance or a joke.

Madam Lin did not linger long, merely committing to memory the image of her husband’s face beneath the moonlight—looking younger and more handsome—before averting her eyes, turning, and walking on once more.

“Don’t be like this… I—I’m already married…” Lin Yuan’er felt as if she were being strangled, unable to draw breath, her mind nearly blank. Yet the years of ingrained upbringing compelled her to instinctively push away Jing He Di.

Consort Rou, seeing her son appear so disgracefully before her, and recalling how he had just called her “Mother Consort” while shamelessly consorting with Ren Consort, suddenly felt darkness cloud her vision and fainted.

The journey was silent until the convoy halted briefly upon entering Changping Avenue. Lin Yijia faintly heard Qin Mingyuan approach to bid farewell and offer thanks to his father, then took a vehicle belonging to the Qin family and departed for Qingshui Alley.

Gu Hanhao and Ling Lan remained in the conference room as arranged by the principal. Within five minutes, Teacher Luan Xiran knocked again and entered, taking a seat opposite them.

What he did not know was that although Apple Vinegar could not control the European sector, she had surveillance over the entire game. If any anomaly arose in other sectors’ intelligence cores, she could intervene with decisive judgment. Thus, having always monitored Ye Fei’s every move, Apple Vinegar knew precisely what he was thinking.

When Mother Qiao returned, the whole family warmly reunited, sharing heartfelt farewells and then sitting closely together to enjoy a meal.

Regarding the armor, the combined weight of the front and back plates was about twenty pounds, all iron. Though not heavy, its protective ability rivaled the triple-layered white armor. A sword strike would send a shower of sparks flying but could not pierce it, unless wielded with a superior blade at close range; otherwise, breaking the armor was nearly impossible.

Moreover, the second madam bore the Pei family’s legitimate eldest grandson, a source of great pride. The second branch’s eldest son, Pei Qingying, had just turned twenty this year, married two years prior. His wife, Madam Zhu, was now heavily pregnant. Should she give birth to the family’s first legitimate great-grandson, the second branch’s confidence would soar ever higher.

Mingsi Courtyard was the largest and finest in the Yang residence, currently housing the Duke and Duchess of Xingguo along with two concubines. Qingshan Courtyard was home to the Marquis and Marchioness of Wuxing. Without someone opening the door to fetch water, no one would have washed or risen. Ordinarily, by this hour, these courtyards would have already finished breakfast.

At this remark, Xue Shao and several nearby could not help but chuckle. Princess Taiping was truly innocent and naive.

The Flame Demon God relentlessly charged through the sword formation, carefully observing to discern any patterns in order to find a way to break it.

A faint crackling sound burst in Sima Xu’s palm, and under the recoil, his body staggered backward, nearly falling to the ground.

The city lord’s mansion was efficient; before long, over a thousand guests were properly seated without any major disturbances.

When such a thought arose in Xiao Yao’s mind, he realized that his cultivation was still incomplete.

“I hope I can return this time. I will make them understand the consequences,” Zhang Ruiguo said through gritted teeth.

In truth, even if the others were still alive, after yesterday’s events, giving them a hundred contracts wouldn’t make them dare to continue threatening.

Xiang Shaofan knew the place where they entered. It was actually near the back end of the entire zombie hell. If the flames of war had truly spread that far, it meant only one thing: zombie hell had completely fallen.
