Volume 1, Chapter 26: A Sudden Scandal

"Stop projecting your filthy thoughts onto me; it’s absolutely revolting!"

Qiao Ye, trembling with rage, turned and stormed off, ignoring Lu Qi'an’s reaction.

Caught off guard, Lu Qi'an’s face darkened. He stared daggers at her retreating figure, a surge of malice rising within him.

Education is multifaceted and comprehensive, but lacking basic literacy and a grasp of common idioms is simply too much of a shortcoming.

These past two days were the most critical time for the shrimp fry, and Xiao Shaoping had been stationed at the dam around the clock. Hearing that his cousin was coming today, he drove his horse-drawn carriage over to pick her up.

At Han Yi’s age, he should be in his prime working years; it was abnormal for him to be idling about. However, there were exceptions. Like Mai Linxiu, whom they had encountered previously, some lived under the protection of their families. If Han Yi’s family possessed strength comparable to the Mai family, such a lifestyle wouldn't be impossible to sustain.

"What? So cheap? That’s impossible, isn't it? Oh dear, something’s not right. Even if it is cheap, look—it’s so close, it’s full of holes, and this part is discolored. It’s definitely beyond saving; you can't just patch it, can you?" Cheap is cheap, but if you can't use it, it’s a waste, no matter how cheap it is.

This mindset was morbid and unhealthy. If left to fester, Sheng Xia truly worried that He Jianjun would devolve from a normal person into a madman.

Of course, the accounts couldn't be calculated that way, but Cui Qingde had gained some understanding of Su Yan and Cheng Bozhi. Knowing they disliked discussing such things, he didn't bring it up again, merely resolving in his heart to work hard to repay them.

Her lips were trembling. The tea she had been holding fell to the floor at some point, the sound of the shattering bowl like a single drop of water falling into the ocean—it stirred up no ripples at all.

She turned around and surveyed the interior of the wooden cabin. The light was dim, and the firelight danced; other than her own shadow cast against the wall, there was no one there.

Jiang Yicheng recounted what had happened that morning, and after hearing it, Xia Zhi and the others couldn't help but laugh.

If... if he could find such a beautiful female to spend the rest of his life with, that wouldn't be half bad.

Seeing this outcome, Lin Ling cheered with joy, praising the Emperor as a wise monarch rather than a muddled one.

It was still a matter that required careful consideration; it was the kind of process that would leave one with deep regrets.

Moreover, after the last procurement plan was drawn up, it would normally take two days for the goods to arrive from the supplier. What were they supposed to do at the shop for those two days?

Yuan Su knew that after receiving the fusion bonus from Oden, he had leaped to a new level in his defensive capabilities.

Old Man Zuixian kept an expression that said, "I didn't say anything wrong," and then, pretending as if nothing had happened, continued to drink.

Wang Xiuying simply stopped thinking and closed her eyes to drift off to sleep, leaving Fang Heyi to stare at her delicate lips again and again, until finally, he dared only to press a light kiss upon them, leaving his own unique mark.

"My Lord suspects that Mi Youmeng did not tell the truth, but if we release her, how are we to verify it?" Qixi asked.

Yubel crushed all three black spheres and cast them into the high-speed conduit, where they merged with countless wandering star particles. One transformed into a "Magical Attackist," a cute young boy whose art style clashed sharply with her own; the other two turned into rhombic beads that hovered by her side.

The gargantuan beast in the sky was already terrifying enough, but Judai sensed that something even larger and more horrific lurked beneath the floating island; the shifting sands were simply too thick for him to discern it for the time being.

"Hello, Professor. This is my classmate from China," Zhou Chuming quickly introduced to Deborah.
