Volume One, Chapter 99: His Possessiveness

Page 1/3

The cold, stifling atmosphere in the dining room was so thick it seemed about to freeze solid.

Fu Yuting felt as though a bomb had exploded in her mind.

How could he ask so directly?

How did he figure it out?

Was she really so obvious?

The sheer shock made her freeze on the spot, her breath halting for an instant.

She never expected Bo Xingzhou to be so blunt.

The owner of those eyes involuntarily widened them, and the words spilled out, laced with astonishment and doubt.

Just then, blood trickled down the man’s hand, dropping from his fingers to the floor with a rhythmic “drip, drip,” exposing the full extent of the blood on his hands.

Qi Yuanshan sighed, “My life is already behind me. Now it’s up to the next generation. The reason I’ve always indulged Gao Gaiqin is because she’s been wholeheartedly devoted to this family and to our son. So, Commander, I hope you’ll be tolerant. Rest assured, we’ll treat Junlan well and do our utmost to make the wedding a grand affair.”

Though night had already fallen, Qu Wuyue had no intention of staying here overnight; he didn’t want Yun You’s first evening to be so unpleasant.

The matter was thus settled, since the Princess Consort of Xuan had written in her letter that they’d buried large amounts of gunpowder at the five directions around Wuli Town—east, south, west, north, and center. If Xiangyu refused to release Chu Lian, the townspeople of Wuli would all die in an explosion.

Ulanara felt her world spinning; two fox spirits in the back courtyard were not enough—now two more?

As before, I took the lead, moving toward that place at a measured pace. Everything seemed as usual, yet for some reason, anxiety crept into my heart at this moment.

Lu Li recounted everything about An Zhini and the healer Luo to Old Man Rong.

In an instant, the Sixth Prince’s outstretched hand went stiff, as if frozen by the cold wind.

“Fine, twenty thousand is twenty thousand,” Su Yan sighed with great reluctance. If you don’t risk a child, you can’t catch a wolf—he would take the gamble.

Lan Xi kept mentioning Lotus Island and Plum Garden as a subtle warning to Noble Consort Hua not to invite disaster upon herself. Surely, she must be feeling guilty for what she’d done.

At the door, Lan Xi encountered Lin Ruoruo, whose worried eyes made Lan Xi’s heart clench. Was something wrong? In a flash, she decided how to act today. Perhaps the delay in yesterday’s reward was the Empress’s doing—maybe it was a test of her resolve.

“If you lost your speed, would you still be so confident?” Wang Li sneered, locking eyes with that cold, murderous gaze.

After persuading Shu Keyue to leave and watching her disappear, Hua Shangxue grabbed a cup and hurled it at a rockery, shattering it with a sharp crack.

Zhao Yan, however, smiled contentedly. At last, he had pushed the use of demonic lotus to its limits, creating a battle-ready version.

Of course, even so, Sanbao would have to go to Boundless Valley to meet the other party in person. After all, everything thus far had come from Nian Dai—what sort of person was this, and were they truly fit for alchemy? Sanbao needed to judge for himself.

Fortunately, the elders of the Lei family were mostly free to cultivate on their own and enjoyed considerable liberty.

A warm feeling blossomed in her heart, and a brilliant smile lit up her beautiful face. Her affectionate eyes shone like the brightest stars in the cold autumn wind.

In Li Mu’s hand, the purple flood dragon had already completed its transformation, barely qualifying as the shadow of a true dragon. Perhaps it was the lowest rank, but it could still multiply the power of Li Mu’s attacks several times.

“Ties of blood can’t be severed. Besides, everyone calls me Aruan now—I’m quite used to it,” Ruan Feihe said with a gentle laugh.

“Ah!” Luo Wusheng bumped into something—or someone—again, but this time she didn’t land on her backside. She wondered ruefully: Why am I so unlucky today? I keep running into people. Do folks here have nothing better to do than lurk in the woods, looking for accidental meetings?
