Chapter 132: A Call from the Matriarch

“I can only do my best and give it a try. I don’t know whether his soul is still in this world after all these years. If it isn’t, then there’s nothing I can do.”

A fine sheen of sweat appeared on Tang Yu’s brow. He was somewhat nervous as well, as though matters involving spirit communication and soul-calling were never easy.

Very few people in the family had ever mastered such arts completely. Besides, his constitution was rather unusual; sometimes, he could attract wandering souls and restless ghosts without deliberately calling for them.

At

The Wei warriors raised their shields and leaped into the air, advancing forward, while the archers and crossbowmen followed behind, keeping the enemy suppressed.

This was pure straight-man thinking. He had never even conceived of the idea of pajamas. What was he supposed to wear to bed tonight?

The merchant had been summoned without warning and was already trembling with fear. Now that he found himself before such an imposing figure as Liu Yu, he became even more terrified. The moment he was questioned, he hurriedly agreed, displaying an extremely cooperative attitude.

Ordinary police officers were rarely transferred between posts without good reason. After all, such a transfer practically meant leaving one’s home behind. Only those who had made mistakes and received disciplinary action would be transferred out of their local branch to serve in another.

Something major had certainly happened to the Nether River, and it was no ordinary matter. It was simply beyond what he could know at his current level.

Ye Xiaoyan opened her mouth. She had originally intended to refute Qin Cheng, but when the words reached her lips, she could not find a single reason to argue against him.

Yet later events proved that the teacher’s insistence had been correct. Without years of arduous training, even the most gifted person could never have achieved what they had today.

Strictly speaking, she could not really be considered to have lied to Grandpa. Until the marriage certificate was replaced with a divorce certificate, it was still genuine.

Under Li Xiuli’s torrent of praise, he actually began to feel like a truly imposing and magnificent man.

Ling Xue lay on the bed, staring up at the intravenous drip bottle above her. Quietly, she pulled the needle from her hand.

“I don’t want to see all of you one day in the underworld. That isn’t what I want, nor is it the goal I have pursued all these years. Do you understand?”

“Oh, I’d completely forgotten. But a doctor should never treat himself. It would still be best to have a doctor examine you,” Mother Li added.

“Murasakibara, put the meat in the vegetables and eat them together. That way, your nutrition will be balanced. You can’t eat only meat.” Xia Chuan He You handed the greens to Atsushi Murasakibara.

After all, this was the royal capital. The imperial capital was filled with experts. Whether at the headquarters of the Adventurers’ Guild, among the Imperial Guard, or within some of the larger adventuring parties, countless powerful figures remained hidden.

On the eighth day of the following month, Gao Pumin and Ding Yilin held their wedding in a church. Everyone who attended was placed under a spell and kept praising the newlyweds, while the wedding feast was enjoyed immensely. Naturally, the happiest of all were Gao Pumin and Ding Yilin themselves.

Besides, he had already frightened him so badly, and the man had now reformed. Surely he would not treat her that way again. Since she had achieved her purpose, there was no need to make things difficult for him any further.

She suddenly wanted to say she would not go after all, but just because May Girl’s cooking was inedible did not mean Fire God’s cooking would be bad as well. For the sake of her own safety, she would simply ask that day which dish had been made by May Girl, and that should be enough.

“All right. What shall we bet on?” Grandpa Han said indifferently. In any case, there was nothing he stood to lose.

“If Madam has some hidden difficulty she cannot speak of, you may tell us plainly!” Chu Ze knew that if they wished to ally themselves with the four great families, they had to resolve the problem at its root. Otherwise, everything would be nothing more than a forced arrangement.

The two waves collided in an instant. With a thunderous boom, the structure of the serving platform at the point of impact was shattered to pieces.

Liu Sanqian knew only the general direction. Her outstretched hand groped blindly in every direction like a headless fly. After what might have been her countless attempt, her fingertips finally brushed against something cold.

“Bruce wants human hearts? That sounds rather disgusting. Could it be that Bruce has such a peculiar preference?” I asked.
