Volume One, Chapter 35: Jealous Again

Qiao Ye refused without a moment's hesitation.
"I'm sorry, I've already given my word to my senior."
Lu Tingxiao cast a deep, searching look at Qiao Ye before turning and leaving in silence.
"You did well," Li Guang said with a beaming smile as he stepped forward. "People only cherish what they cannot have; there is no need for you to indulge his every whim."
"Today is your birthday. For any reason, I would not have left."
"Perhaps it has to do with you," Fei Yihan said, shifting his gaze toward Yan Lan. His intense stare made her face burn with a deep flush, yet she remained silent, listening quietly.
Ouyang Lietian erupted in sudden fury. What kind of words was this girl spouting? What did she mean there would be no more chances in the future? Was she planning to leave him? The mere thought of her departure caused a sharp, suffocating pain in his chest. He clutched his heart, his face turning ashen.
Remembering that it was his birthday this weekend and that her father was planning to host a party for her, Yan Lan asked, "Can you come to my birthday party this weekend?" She looked at Fei Yihan with burning expectation.
The place Rabbit had arranged for us to meet was a hotel in the city. By the time I drove there, the sky had turned completely dark, and I headed straight for the room she had specified.
Ye Tian and Akui dismounted from the back of the Elephant-Rhino Beast. The creature did not attempt to flee, waiting quietly to the side. Ye Tian looked at the beast and truly felt that Akui’s mount was quite impressive.
She was filled with deep reluctance and wondered what Si Tengfeng would think if he saw Xue Jiao with Nangong Yuye.
Helplessly, she realized there was no way out when living in the royal household, especially as the Crown Princess. Every word and action represented the royal status. The Crown Prince forbade her from leaving the estate, and she had no power to resist. She endured her days like this, having a husband in name only, barely catching a glimpse of him day after day.
"The computer seems fine. What exactly does Bai Muxue want?" Puzzled, Yan Lan walked toward the door, only to find it would not open.
Yan Lan chose a seat in one of the front rows, though not too close to the podium. There were very few people in the class, and she was the only one in her row—an arrangement that she found quite comfortable.
Lily’s words were vague and ambiguous, glossing over the matters Tudou was concerned about. The way things were developing would surely catch Tudou by surprise, for between her and the little girl Lily, there was no issue of who was the third party in a relationship.
Watching the disorganized coordination before him, Ma Youcai shook his head helplessly. In his eyes, the scene was nothing short of a farce, and he found himself at a loss for words.
All demons knew that they were born into this world because they were sinful. They were destined to endure suffering to wash away their transgressions. Only by doing so would the Holy Spirit forgive their original sin upon death and welcome their souls back into heaven.
"Silly sister, listen to me. If you absorb my Fusion Power, I will only gain more. The more you take, the more I receive. But you must promise me you won't tell anyone else," Lu Qi explained.
The Su residence was unusually calm. After an initial investigation, there had been no further word, as if they had no intention of pursuing the matter. Su Ziyu remained entirely devoted to drafting the new laws and never mentioned the incident again, leaving many who were watching the situation utterly bewildered.
Ye Kong bid farewell to the hunchbacked proprietor and left the commercial district immediately, intending to return to the Teslan Fortress. However, as he prepared to leave the city, the soldiers at the gate blocked his path.
The Shield Guard was named Golden Pomelo, and the Ranger was named Sleepless Night. Both were members of the Hundred Ghosts Guild, acting under their captain's orders to hunt for a swordsman player named "Blank" in the Mist-Shrouded Forest.
