Chapter 50: Brother-in-Law, Something’s Not Right
Faced with this sudden intimacy, Qiao Weiwei was completely baffled.
"Fortunately for what?" she asked in confusion.
Realizing his behavior had startled her, Gu Jinnian released her hand and stared straight into the girl's eyes.
Fortunately, you are still alive...
He did not speak of everything from his dream, only saying, "Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time, and two lives were saved."
That was true indeed.
Surviving was not easy, a sentiment Qiao Weiwei felt most deeply, silently thanking all the deities and her ancestors.
Sitting at the bow of the boat and watching the Snake Island grow closer, Dong Yunqing felt that some things were truly predestined in the dark.
At this, Shangguan Feng paused, though she did not raise her eyes. Had she done so, she surely would have seen the tear shimmering in Yan'er's eyes, and Yan'er's heartbroken expression, but Shangguan Feng did not look.
Seeing her smile, Shangguan Meng shot her an even more vicious glare, thinking to herself, *Humph! Let's see if you can still smile in a moment.*
"Are all the arrangements for tomorrow settled? Nowadays, Noble Consort Shu holds the highest authority in this palace," Liang Zijing murmured indifferently, tapping her fingers against the red-lacquered carved railing.
Boxing and hand-to-hand combat—brutal clashes that even men would find difficult to endure—were executed by them without a moment's hesitation. Their military proficiency manifested in just a single month, leaving all the instructors utterly astonished.
Having said that, Han Jingxuan left the company all by herself, the corners of her mouth curling up in a triumphant smirk. Seeing An Xiang'er's exasperated expression, she walked away with the same haughty air An Xiang'er used to have.
"Naturally." In truth, he didn't have much to do; recent life had simply been too dull. Hearing by chance that his subordinate had swung the other way, he had come to see just what kind of person possessed the ability to make his most capable assistant willingly turn gay.
Sun Zhijun felt a wave of nausea. He looked at the hand that had just brushed against that spot, which was now patting his own shoulder. Yet, knowing he still depended on this man to climb higher, he could only bow his head and project an appearance of humility.
"Roar..." With an angry roar followed by a pitiful whine, the Flame Lion finally collapsed to the ground under the continuous onslaught of magic and battle qi.
Returning to the room, Ling was surfing the internet, but my mind was restless. I didn't know what Zhao Xin was doing in Sister Gu's room right then; she surely couldn't stay still and was probably bombarding Sister Gu with endless questions. I wondered if Sister Gu would find her annoying.
Since Lucian had already used his Flash, his survivability was practically zero.
"Hehe, call me whatever you like then! We can figure it out once we get more familiar." Jing Jian waved his hand dismissively.
The sheer momentum of this killing intent could almost be described as earth-shattering. Chen Feng's eyes rapidly bloodshot, turning a vibrant red.
"It seems that artifacts of extremely high quality still cannot be taken away," Yang Tian murmured to himself upon seeing this scene.
Before his voice had even faded, Ron had already pressed the button on his bracelet. The armored beast instantly appeared, and the human-machine integrated combat mode was activated.
Chenxi and Yulian had no idea that my abilities had already advanced to the late stage of the Celestial and Buddha realm, and they were both utterly startled when they saw me instantly kill Wu Gang.
I stood like an exiled prisoner upon the boundless earth, unable to find a single companion to keep me company.
The heaven-defying staff of Thor, which she had secretly pocketed, unexpectedly came in handy at this moment.
It was obvious that he was unwilling to take her calls anymore, nor did he wish to have any further entanglements with her. After all, they had already made things clear between them.
So the high beams from earlier had been intentional on his part? But didn't the housekeeper say he wasn't coming back today? Was he back now just to pick something up?
"Hua Danlian, was it you who opened the stone cave for me?" Li Yuanqing walked outside the stone cave, looked at Hua Danlian, and asked.
Yang Ji's previous defense had been entirely a frantic, split-second reaction. He never expected such an outcome. After a brief pause, the spinning floral-patterned staff came to a halt, dropping to the ground with a crisp *clang*.
