Volume One, Chapter 89: Men Like Bad Women

Su Li lay on the bed, feeling entirely unruffled; she had no fear of Mo Xingyuan and Bai Zhiyao being alone together. It was not magnanimity—she simply wanted Bai Zhiyao to see reality for what it was. No matter what Bai Zhiyao did, Su Li was the one who held the title of Mo Xingyuan’s wife. At least, for now, that was true. She didn’t even feel the urge to eavesdrop.

Such rumors made Ting Shu and Ah Liu, two trainers hastily paired together without ever having teamed up before, flush with embarrassment. After saying this, his hand swept across the mirror, leaving no trace of the silver bead behind; he vanished without a trace.

This was one of Anna’s typical moves; many enemies had fallen prey to this very pattern. But right now, she needed no one’s kindness. She would never again invest her feelings for the sake of such goodwill, for it would only bring misfortune to others.

Jinyang was silent for a moment, then slowly reached out, sliding his hand beneath the covers. After fumbling for a while, he found her hand, gently grasping it and holding it in his palm.

A Poké Ball was thrown, releasing a blue, serpentine spirit that hovered in the air. With a long, piercing cry, it instantly summoned a whirlwind. The wind, laced with flying sand and gravel, hurtled ferociously toward the energy detector. With a loud bang, the machine’s readings flickered.

Fortunately, she possessed the poison attribute and could directly absorb the natural energies of heaven and earth for cultivation, so the precious spirit jade was of little importance to her.

Earlier, he’d been so busy showing off to Long Zhan that he hadn’t had the chance to pay attention to Su Yunliang. Now, taking a closer look, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

No matter how much the mushroom-headed uncle, perpetually busy tending his vegetable patch, might wish otherwise, his expression was too intense to ignore. Given this, Zong Yang employed the same strategy he’d used on Tiantai Mountain against the Black-Faced General.

She knew all too well that if she saw Murong Fei again, she might not be able to keep her emotions in check.

Unconsciously, Yu Zhengri’s body flew outward like a drifting leaf, soaring several yards before landing on the ground. Dazed, he looked at Magu, bewildered as to why he’d been repelled when it felt as though the other had not exerted any force at all.

Su Nuannuan managed a few spoonfuls before setting the spoon down; the persistent pain in her body had all but killed her appetite.

Warm breath brushed over her sensitive skin, making An Jing tremble all over as she struggled to steady herself. Hiding both hands behind her back, she quietly shifted what was in her right hand to her left, then braced herself with her right hand as she slowly moved closer to him.

“Hongyun, come along.” He didn’t forget to call for Hongyun as he left. He would have preferred not to, but Hongyun was the best doctor in the manor, so there was no other choice.

In that instant, time seemed to freeze. Yuxia rushed forward without a thought for her own safety, throwing her arms around Xiahou Jie and shielding him with her body. The blade fell in a ruthless, resolute arc. Suddenly, Yuxia’s eyes widened, feeling a searing pain gnawing away at her body and soul.

“Maybe she’ll come back in a few days. For now, just focus on your recovery,” Song Ping offered comfort, though inside he let out a heavy sigh.

Though Empress Dowager Gao had temporarily released Lady Sun for the sake of continuing the bloodline, she had no intention of allowing her to join forces with Lady He again.

“Tell me—what exactly did you do to her?” Luo Yiyi was certain that Nangong Jin had done something to Ning Baobei; otherwise, Baobei would never have become like this.

The person involved was dissatisfied. In previous games, his worth had ranked him among the top ten in the entire district; it was clear that the price offered by Chaos Beauty was nothing short of an insult.

This distance was exactly within the most comfortable firing range for five warships, while the pirates’ batteries simply couldn’t reach that far.
