Chapter 60: Er-ya, Targeted by Her Reborn Step-sister in a Retro Era 19

Little Finger Village.

Xu Guihua squatted in front of the kitchen stove, the firelight casting a glow on her sharp and mean face, making her look all the more terrifying.

Half a pot of clear water was boiling on the stove, with a few stray vegetable leaves floating in it.

She had been hungry for two days, having only had half a bowl of wild vegetable soup in the morning, leaving her stomach full of nothing but water.

At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng also exuded an imposing and magnificent aura, like a deity descended from the heavens, commanding awe and preventing anyone from taking him lightly. His upper body was bare, revealing his bronze-colored skin, broad shoulders, and wide back, with muscles faintly rippling underneath.

"Wu Hua..." Li Yan walked over to Wu Hua's side. Watching him finally turn the tables and secure victory, she did not know whether she should feel happy or worried. What made her happy was that Wu Hua had finally proven his innocence, winning this matter without a shadow of a doubt.

When the piece finished, Chu Ning and Lin Yuhan discovered that a large crowd had gathered at the entrance of the music store, including parents who had come to accompany their children to class, all lingering by the door.

"You don't need to worry, Uncle. Although they often argue, don't they always grow closer after every fight?" Lin Yuhao comforted Chu Tianxing.

Moriqi looked up at An Lushan's back, seeing the latter's hefty waist and loose-fitting trousers, which revealed the edge of a magenta gemstone, as if it were embedded right into the flesh in the center of his lower back near the buttocks.

Meanwhile, Mitsubishi Corporation's stock price movement was completely as Ye Zifeng had predicted, remaining trapped in a state of sandwiched trading throughout the entire day.

The coachman driving the carriage slowly steered it forward in the direction of the imperial palace gates.

A cold voice drifted over, carrying its usual regal air of royalty, as he cheerfully answered on behalf of the staff.

Jiayu struggled violently to sit up from the bed, ignoring the pulling pain of the IV tube on her hand and the back of her hand. She grabbed Xiyong's hand and pulled him closer, terrified that she might mishear or fail to catch whatever he was about to say.

At this moment, Li Bufan's body lay in the corner of the wall, covered everywhere in fresh blood, while the rising and falling of his chest indicated that he was still alive. His dull and lifeless eyes gazed at him, devoid of any emotion whatsoever.

Now that Tan Jianjun was dead, Tan Jianmin naturally had active thoughts stirring within him, eager to usurp and claim the entire Tan family fortune for himself.

Lady Han was the first to react, helping Princess Shuning to a seat in a hurry, and ordering warm water and bird's nest soup to be prepared.

Take Luoshuang, for instance. She was usually sensible and steady, yet today she had even managed to spill water right out of her cup.

Zuoqiu Xuju was overjoyed. Just as she had said, the Rongjiang army was currently in complete disarray, and they would surely be able to conquer them with minimal effort.

Seeing her cry for his sake, Jin Chengye felt a mix of heartache and joy—at least she wept for him, even if it was partly out of fright caused by him.

Even Mo Wang and Lianbo gasped audibly this time. It was the first time either of them had heard of this. But wasn't this simply too horrifying to be believed? When had the Great Deity Chiyou ever taught Prajna sorcery? No wonder it was so bizarre; it turned out Prajna had been taught self-defense techniques personally by the Great Deity Chiyou.

Lü Zhuo was instantly stunned, his expression turning exceedingly awkward. The Zhuge Thatched Cottage mentioned in *The Ode to a Humble Room* was precisely the rustic hut once inhabited by Zhuge Liang.

Since the purpose was to appreciate the dance, one should simply enjoy the dance. Paying too much attention to extraneous details was useless and would only ruin the performance, distracting one from fully watching and appreciating it.

However, since this entire affair had been stirred up by Lin Zhen from the very beginning, he also wanted to know what ultimate objective Lin Zhen harbored, making it necessary to maintain this inexplicable cooperative alliance.

The array-breaking shuttle spun at high speed once again, yet it still failed to shatter the killing array, rendering all of Old Wang's efforts completely futile.

Zhao Xianghan glanced at Gao Zhengsheng. Since Gao Zhengsheng was a meticulous man who immediately guessed this might be related to the matter of Six-Depression Valley, he walked off to the side to smoke a cigarette.

Third Young Master Lu already possessed wealth and power, and now he only lacked a beauty. This action would surely satisfy the Third Young Master.
