Everyone was naturally deeply grateful to Wu Fan. It could be said that Wu Fan had saved their lives. Yet one person was exceptionally hostile toward him. Not only did she feel no gratitude whatsoever, but her gaze was filled with jealousy and malice whenever she looked at him.

The gap between the two families was simply too great. Money was one aspect of it, but the guests each side had brought that day made it clear that she and Ming Rui did not belong to the same social circle at all.

In a secluded spot deep within the distant forest, a spirit creature that had been watching this way was utterly terrified.

It seemed he would have to be more courteous toward Lin Feiyu from now on. Perhaps he was some great personage who had come to experience ordinary life.

He had never imagined that people from the Nanping Kingdom would dare infiltrate their camp at such a time, much less kill Yelu Zhen. When his personal guards roused him from bed and told him what had happened, Peng Chuan even wondered whether he was still asleep and dreaming.

For Liang Long, activating the system and awakening his superpower was merely the beginning of his journey across the apocalypse.

In the past, only disciples of the Celestial Secrets Sect had ever come looking for them. They had never once managed to find a disciple of the Celestial Secrets Sect themselves.

The sect disciples listened with ugly expressions, yet they did not dare say anything. Moreover, an invisible force was currently pinning them against the wall, leaving them unable to move away from it.

The two of them had long since sensed it. Neither had pierced through that final layer of restraint, but if they still failed to confess their feelings in a scene like this, they would truly be nothing but scoundrels.

According to tradition, they would eat some chicken, fish, and eggs, along with three bright-red steamed buns and some fruit.

Zhou Nian and he had more or less grown accustomed to one another by now, but every time they began, she would still feel some discomfort and pain. If she took the initiative to tempt him a little more, would he tear her apart completely?

After experiencing something as preposterous as being reborn, Jingwei had already formed a vague suspicion in her heart. Now, seeing the cup of tea before her, she became even more certain.

As for why she did not seek help, it was probably because she had once betrayed the Holy Son and ruined Meng Xiao with someone else. The other elders had turned a blind eye to her predicament, and so no one came to her aid.

She led the man into the side hall, where dishes had already been laid out on the table. Qi Xiuyan had been busy all day. During the daytime, he had drunk only a bowl of plain congee at the government office to fill his stomach a little. Although the principles of preserving one’s health advised against eating after noon, Qi Xiuyan was no pedant. With matters growing increasingly hectic, he truly could not endure without eating more.

“Fu Sansui, come have lunch with me. It’s been ages since I’ve seen you, you country bumpkin.” Wang Yue pulled me out of the elevator.

When Huo Peiyi said nothing, his eyes were not only indifferent but rather frightening. Yet he had done so many ridiculous things during this period that my original fear of him had long since vanished.

Zhan watched Lin Chengsen’s retreating figure from the roadside. Somehow, Lin Chengsen no longer seemed quite so hateful.

“All right.” Ji Xuansheng listed every term and condition, then obediently signed his name, pressed his fingerprint onto the document, smoothed out the sheet of rice paper, and handed it back.

Since ancient times, every change of dynasty had brought a storm of bloodshed. Sometimes the turmoil lasted only a few months; sometimes it continued for years. Hidden currents surged beneath the surface, the people suffered, and countless lives were affected.

After sending the message, I held my phone and waited. Only after he sent me a good-night message did I finally relax, take a shower, change into my pajamas, and go to sleep.

Deep within the valley, clouds and mist churned as strings of radiant treasures shot into the heavens. By then, however, almost no one remained to collect them.

“Don’t do that. Send it over to her later. We’ll go out to eat. You can have whatever you want,” said Gu Tanzhi.

I listened attentively. I had never expected Li Sandao to be so particular, but why did I feel that Huo Yi was the one who had come out ahead?

Song Yiwei had merely been unwilling to embarrass Shen An’an at the airport. After all, given the connection between them, openly falling out in front of everyone would probably damage Pei Yanze’s image. He had called her over to dinner under the pretext of thanking her for picking him up, while using the occasion to deflect the matter concerning Yan Shu.

I had been right to accept Du Heng’s proposal. He was already married—what could I possibly still hope for? I shook my head, laughed at myself, and banished the untimely thought from my mind.

Gu Jiujiu was startled as well, looking at the two of them in confusion. What had Xia Yifei said to make him react so strongly?

Yan Shu smiled helplessly. That girl certainly cared a great deal about Yan Sui. It was simply impossible to know what would become of them in the future.

He had no umbrella. Rainwater fell over him, making his shirt cling tightly to his chest and outlining the solid muscles of his body with striking clarity.

“Chu Yan insisted on coming to watch the excitement, so I thought I’d come see you. I didn’t expect you to still be awake!” Chu Meng said as she walked inside, while LS remained stationed at the door.

Many years ago, the land for thousands of miles around was barren. It was this man, the Great King Linggan, who called himself a Buddhist demon lord, who built temples, summoned clouds and rain, and protected the region, bringing favorable weather and peace to its people.

Qiuxiang recounted everything that had happened, beginning with Zhong Nan’s departure to attend the banquet and ending with the government officers arresting him. She concealed nothing. After hearing the whole account, Zhou Binger knew the matter was far too serious. She could not guarantee that she would be able to protect Zhong Nan, so she told Qiuxiang to return home first while she went to the government office to inquire about the situation.

Ying Tianlei’s passionate enthusiasm was suddenly doused with a bucket of ice water, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Luo Xiu drew a deep breath, sensing the suffocatingly vigorous elemental power that filled heaven and earth. He could not help inhaling again, savoring it wholeheartedly. That feeling of his soul ascending came once more, making the expression on Luo Xiu’s face at that moment truly extraordinary.

Shangguan Yun’s arm was gripped so tightly that it hurt terribly. He was terrified, yet merely clenched his lips and said nothing. There was scarcely any expression on his face either, as though he were completely unaware of what was happening.
