Volume One, Chapter 79: Giving Her a Ring

Mo Xingyuan took Su Li by the hand and led her out of the private room. Su Li herself was surprised by Mo Xingyuan’s attitude. Bai Zhiyao had approached her, believing that Su Li, out of pride, would agree—yet unexpectedly, Mo Xingyuan had refused on her behalf.

In the car, Su Li glanced at Mo Xingyuan several times. From the moment they met today until now, he had been shrouded in a gloomy mood, and she had no idea who might have provoked him.

“Are you in a bad mood?” she asked.

Mo Xingyuan did not reply.

In the past, she hadn’t realized the ring on her hand was an Elemental Ring, so she hadn’t given it any thought. Now, looking back, she suspected that the reason she hadn’t been ensnared by Baili Wuchen’s soul-capturing powers was likely because of the ring she wore.

“I once saw you in my royal uncle’s chambers,” Jing Junying said with a touch of innocence. “He made a doll in your likeness and hugged it every day. Before you came to the capital, he would hold your doll and cry every day.”

Of course, if we stayed within the red line, we wouldn’t make much money. What we need to do is cross the red line before anyone notices, rake in the maximum profit, and leave at once.

Upon entering the Xiang family’s courtyard, Zhu Da made no effort to hide his curiosity, casting his gaze about. In this village, he’d been inside many homes, but this was his first time at the Xiang house—one he’d always regarded with a certain distance and respect.

It was during such a chance event that Shangguan Chen’s scheme succeeded, nearly ruining Le Bing. Their search for Yu Rou wasn’t necessarily because they suspected her, but perhaps also to find out who had framed her.

Its voice was exceptionally pleasant, rivaling the elegant and magnetic tone of Baili Wuchen himself.

Back then, they’d taken in two young refugees along the way—one was Zhang Jinbei, the other Li Degui. Zhang Jinbei was ambitious and lively, while Li Degui was simple and honest. This time, Li Degui stayed behind with Qin Qin, partly as a means of protection.

Even if luck did exist in this world, it couldn't possibly change the contents of the cards, could it?

Though Yu Weiyan thought Shen Yaonian’s order was rather unscientific, she still tried it as instructed, and the result was as expected.

Perhaps having spent too long as Crown Prince, Li Song grew despondent, and illness plagued him for years. After finally outlasting Li Shi and ascending the throne, he reigned merely eight months before ill health forced him to abdicate to Li Chun.

That look in his eyes was stern and cold, like a superior looking down from above, enough to instill fear with a single glance.

Quietly, Qiao Qiao noticed Chong Ximo still seemed unwell and immediately reached out a hand to comfort him.

“I’m strong and fit. I want to join the logistics team first, and when my skills improve, I’ll head to the frontlines,” he declared.

After breakfast, he packed up some regular wolf meat and a portion of dire wolf meat to bring to Teacher James. They chatted for a while, during which he recounted yesterday’s events to him.

However, he was not met with applause but with a chorus of boos, which made the man with the triangular eyes look even more menacing.

Although this man was more handsome than that spoilt playboy from the shipping company and spoke more tactfully, his intentions were just as dubious. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared look at her so brazenly.

“Silly girl, alright, I’ll walk ahead of you,” An Ge said with a smile. That endearment made Qiao Qiao glare at him—what was wrong with him today, being so informal at the very gates of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with so many people around? Couldn’t he just address her properly as Li Chunxiang?

Tianxing had long wanted to give the Bull Demon King a proper bath, guessing that the beast likely hadn’t been washed since birth.

Mo Hu traced the old white fox’s alchemy cave, but the immortal mountain’s cavern was now ruined, its old grandeur lost to weeds and cobwebs.

Just as the palm was about to land, Bai Mo vanished. Caught off guard, he felt pain in his back—turning, he saw Bai Mo standing behind and to the side, striking at him with a spear.
