Volume One, Chapter 76: Say You Love Me

Whenever the conversation turned to Bai Zhiyao, Mo Xingyuan would always shy away from the topic. Su Li was not insistent on asking, either. If Bai Zhiyao hadn’t been clinging so tightly to Mo Xingyuan, why would she care so much? No, she wasn’t meddling; she was simply intensely curious about their relationship.

Su Li did not wish to add to her own vexation and closed her mouth, silently finishing the meal. Her sudden quietness unsettled Mo Xingyuan. He wanted to say something, but feared he might provoke her. So, like her, he ate in silence.

After the meal, this time Su Li did not allow Mo Xingyuan to carry her; she rose on her own, ignoring the hand he offered. Mo Xingyuan had grown accustomed to her temperament. She had a fondness for small displays of temper... At this point, how dare you show off in front of me? If I don’t discipline you, you’ll rebel against me one day.

Qin Wude was the first to step into the conical giant spike, following its hollow interior into the Eight Trigrams formation. Luo Tianqi followed closely behind, then Yun Bohai, and finally Qiu Yu. Under Ma Qi’s astonished gaze, a green protective shield appeared in the sky, with countless fine green lines weaving three-dimensionally through the air. In only thirty seconds, some results began to show.

Luan Fusheng’s mind went blank, unable to comprehend what Liu Xing meant by her words. As the iron block entered his mouth, Xi Chen felt his lips grow numb, his tongue sticking directly to the iron. Instantly, more than twenty members of the Ning family shouted in unison. With a massive infusion of spiritual energy, the mirror at the center of Truth and Law lit up once more, and a terrifying surge was brewing.

Jagged stone spikes lined the cliff walls on either side, with carcasses hanging from them; red-eyed rats, startled by footsteps, scattered in every direction. Moments ago, he had sensed the words “Heaven and Earth” sealed within the demon-suppressing cauldron inside him, agitating to break free.

Ye Qingmian descended a long spiral staircase, moving downward, now dozens of meters below ground. Passing through a corridor, she entered a strange space.

“All right, we’re full now. It’s time for us to leave,” Shao Meiqian said flatly after answering a phone call.

“From what Lady Wang said just now, it was indeed broken before your shift. So there’s no claim that the person taking over today caused the damage, is there?” Meng Yu clarified, looking at Lady Wang.

A thriving new district suddenly became a hot potato nobody wanted to touch, and most importantly, this incident affected the face of the government.

It had been a long time since they last met, and Bai Ling seemed thinner. As before, she wore a professional suit, but unlike the past, her capable air was tinged with noticeable desolation.

Forget it, let others handle their own affairs. If she meddled too much, she’d only end up being scolded herself; better to avoid such thankless tasks.

“Hmph, what’s wrong with this outfit? It shows Mr. Mai’s modesty,” someone said resentfully.

“We were so in love, so happy once.” But things change; by the time you realize it, everything is different, utterly unlike before.

Shen Xia turned on the lights and found both children awake—Sisi jumped up, while Niannian lay under the covers, her head peeking out.

Passing by Lan Yucheng, Liu Niang suddenly cried out and feigned a twisted ankle, stumbling toward him.

Xu Beihong was surprised; Beichen’s form and moves were eye-opening. Each technique was beyond what a true disciple could muster, yet Beichen executed them all, his eyes flashing coldly, his force becoming ever more ruthless.

“Mountain Cannon, Yucheng is fine now. Are you ready for a face-to-face showdown?” Tian Ge teased.

Nothing was wrong until Lin Canghai spoke; Liu Ruomeng could no longer endure, charging directly at him.

This visit from Nangong Ying clearly signaled that the Brotherhood had begun a direct confrontation. It was dangerous for Dad and Mom to come here at this time.

Since ascending to the position of Prime Minister, Mao Sheng Nami had never encountered anything like this, and yet Lin Canghai had already confronted her twice.

Chu Haotian felt a surge of joy in his heart; the war between the Demon Realm and the Celestial Realm had already begun, and with victory at the outset, it was a promising omen.

Three hours later, a new round of battle began. This time, the twenty thousand martial artists in the arena did not rush to find opponents; now, most were formidable adversaries.

Their goal was the Demon’s Tears. Seeing so many—and of such quality—brought them relief.

“How do you intend to deal with what’s around your neck? I’ve asked you this many times, and you always brush it off. What about now?” King Xianyang pressed me.

Although Ye Nuansnow had anticipated this day, her heart was unexpectedly calm, without fear. She had long been unable to complete the main quest in this world, and the side quests no longer mattered. She might as well end this world early and move to the next.

She meant to use her film to overshadow Xia Anduo, but ended up being bested in turn.

“Then seize the moment and change into new clothes,” Yue Liangkeng said, tapping Qiao Ziheng’s shoulder twice.

Perhaps she had contributed, but the Princess Consort, Guoguo, truly doubted the efficacy of the Body Refining Pill.

Twenty minutes later, they returned to the parking lot. When picking up the rice bowl, Fu Jin Heng also grabbed the towel on the side. When they reached home, Fu Qi Han had already bathed and was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV.

On their way back, they smiled the entire time. Zhou Jiao felt that if she kept smiling like this, her mouth would soon go stiff.

Peng Lu swung her stick, missing the dog’s head but striking its belly instead.

Ye Nuansnow bent, stood, and kicked off with both feet in one fluid motion, not dragging her feet at all.

After ‘An Jin’ left, Chu Hangyi couldn’t restrain himself and swept all the glasses off the bar onto the floor.

Because of Xia Anduo’s reminder, Mu Jin Yuan and Li Jing Chen both stopped deleting posts and defending her.

Had he devoted more time to the political course, his scores would have been higher.
