Chapter 57: Wang Xin's Cousin's Hostility
Because the cabin door that Xiao Sheng was leaning against happened to be the door of the room where Yan Lan and Fei Yihan were staying.
Watching Wei Junsheng walk into the kitchen to prepare food, Su Meiyu secretly swore in her heart to his retreating figure: Junsheng, you are my happiness, and I will never let go of your hand, so please, do not let go of mine first.
Wei Junsheng lay on the bed, his fingers tightening as he failed to understand why he had been so frantic the previous night, frantic enough to do such a thing.
Ziqi crouched beside Soya, and seeing Soya's ashen face, sighed and patted Soya on the back. Soya smiled, though the smile was hardly better than crying.
"Humph—" A faint grunt sounded. Seeing A Kui's formidable power, the fire wolf decided not to risk its life. Limping, it squeezed into the bushes and headed deep into the dense forest. The two fire wolves at the rear of the pack, seeing their alpha leave, immediately turned and fled as well.
Yan Lan looked somewhat dejected, bitterly wrinkling her nose. Losing interest in being serious, she turned her gaze toward Daren and Anna.
"Ha! Since none of you are willing to take the initiative, let me help you out." Bai Muxue's glasses flashed, looking very much like Conan about to reveal the truth.
The frown between Yan Lan's brows deepened. She had thought and thought, yet she still had not the slightest clue, uncertain whether to refuse or accept.
Unable to see clearly inside the room, Ye Tian took several moonstones and threw them forward one by one in succession, ultimately forming a luminous path several meters long. Looking down at his feet, the foul-smelling blood oozing from the wounds of the blood-skinned leeches was also clearly visible. The blood-skinned leeches had already entered the deep cavern.
Despite it being winter outside, the classroom temperature was very high. For this reason, some students liked to take off their down jackets upon returning to the classroom, which not only kept them from feeling hot but also made them feel quite warm.
"Shut up, neither of you is qualified." A figure flashed through Huo Ze's mind; both in appearance and temperament, she was the ideal candidate for empress, and crucially, he happened to like her. It was simply a pity that she was already another man's wife. He shook his head, casting aside those unrealistic thoughts.
With the delicious wontons in their stomachs, and the "Number One Tavern in the World" wine warming everyone up from within, their vigor and spirit were restored, and the psychological gloom of solitary confinement was almost completely swept away.
"How long are we going to keep this hidden? Could it be exploited by people with ulterior motives?" Sun Changlai frowned and asked in return.
Although some complained, they still had to grit their teeth and finish. Everyone knew that this was training to temper their willpower and challenge their own limits; as long as they persevered, it would have a positive impact on both their future matches and their lives.
Zhu Guohua chuckled and said, "Of course we can't do nothing. If we did that, how could we face our old leader?"
"Squad leader, Tieying and I will go meet up with the instructor. He doesn't know we've come to Baiyang Town, nor does he know we've already taken control of the checkpoint," Lian Hai said.
He had originally intended to use this to temper Feng Han's courage, but he hadn't expected Feng Han to find an opportunity to showcase his own capabilities instead.
Hiding in a corner, Yi Feng concentrated his mind, condensing his soul power into a needle-like shape, and shot it toward the two guards at the door.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to fight. Even if I must sacrifice this life, I will kill this Chairman of the Temple Federation," the Moon Demon God Agares said, testing the waters.
After eating and drinking their fill, it was already quite late. Knowing that Xiao Yang's company was holding a celebratory party, and disliking socializing with crowds, Chen Bo and Ye Fan declined Xiao Yang's invitation and went off to spend their nightlife separately.
Jiang Haoran laughed inwardly. Was he currently "living in Cao Cao's camp while his heart belonged to Han"? He rather resembled Guan Yu.
Just as Song Yanyan was looking around for anything that could help her pass the time, her phone rang.
After all, one was the God of Darkness and the other was a former Emperor of the Luotian Realm; they shouldn't lower themselves to harming ordinary spiritual cultivators who couldn't affect the bigger picture. Seeing that the Dark God Cult truly could not rise from the ashes, they should just quit while they were ahead.
"Good." Popovich was crafty and naturally knew this game wouldn't end so simply, so he let the starters sit on the bench to rest.
"Ning Xuemo, you go too far!" Hearing this, Ning Xuelian on the side could no longer hold back her temper. With angry glares and pointing fingers at Gu Qingwan, she shouted lowly.
Lin Xian was somewhat displeased, but upon second thought, the old man hadn't treated him too badly, racking his brains to make him stronger, even if his mouth was a bit foul.
Ice String Phoenix invited Purple Luan to bathe together. At the thought of such a scene, he couldn't help a surge of impulse.
Lin Lewen was still vigorously scraping at the crevices of the rocks on the artificial hill, her heart pounding wildly. Heavens, was she not dreaming just now? What on earth had they just listened to?
"This king wants to send you to Jiujiang to command the one hundred thousand troops there. I wonder... what are your thoughts on this?" Chu Xu raised his head, looking seriously at Qu Xiao.
Gao Yan's body stiffened, and Lu Xi chuckled lightly, "Who told you to harbor improper thoughts?" With that, she got up and left.
"Dad is getting older, so you and your wife should pay more attention usually. Try to serve fewer of those dishes heavy on oil and salt," Gu Yongliang instructed. Usually, his parents ate separately, but there were times when they dined together, and those were the moments to be mindful.
"You're wrong, these were kept by me, and even if they were in your hands, they couldn't be called seven to the third power..." Before Yuni could finish, a hand covered her mouth from behind, while her other hand was pinned down to restrain her next move.
Yet in her past life, his mother simply did not appreciate it, leaving him with more and more eggs that he couldn't possibly finish eating. In the end, his grandmother instructed him to pickle the eggs, and the salted eggs tasted exceptionally delicious.
At this moment, Lin Xiaomo's hair had already been dried by Mother Zhang, and the dirty water on her face had been wiped clean. Although she wore Mother Zhang's middle-aged-style T-shirt, it could not conceal her innate delicate, lively, clear, and beautiful aura.
"Grandmother." Lu Yan walked in. She usually never spoke to Cui Mengji, but seeing Cui Mengji injured like this, she couldn't help feeling sad in her heart. Remembering her conversation with her elder sister, she wondered if growing up truly meant dealing with all kinds of troublesome matters.
Looking closely at the Snow-Avoiding Bead, its light and shadows truly shifted and turned, being both gorgeous and pristine. Raising her finger to touch it, the slightly flawed texture at a certain spot felt just as it had during her previous contact, proving that the elders had not substituted another gemstone to confuse public perception.
An Zeyu's silence was clearly misinterpreted by Rivest as tacit agreement, and consequently, his temper soured.
With that, he dragged Lin Xiaomo's hand, flung her onto the bed, and pressed his tall, sturdy body down upon her. One hand firmly imprisoned both of Lin Xiaomo's wrists, while the other began to untie her clothes.
