Volume One, Chapter 72: Burning All the Gifts Given to the Scoundrel—What a Thrill!

Pei Yuan anxiously wanted to rush inside; he wanted to see what Ranran and Ji Junxiao were doing in the room! But his legs were numb. Damn it, if only he hadn't knelt for so long earlier. It seemed Ranran was truly angry this time. How could he possibly coax her back? "You all better come up with a solution. If you can't make Ranran forgive me, none of you are allowed to go home," Pei Yuan fumed with frustration.

Lin's father and mother were completely defeated by him. Yet the rope was tied so tightly—seeing Li Su's pained expression and sweat pouring down her forehead, he felt both distressed and anxious.

"That's right. What Young Master Ye needs now is time, so he's using those cultivation resources to divert the attention of the sects at Wuqing Mountain. That way, nobody will pay attention to our Yunshan Alliance or the Heavenly Medicine Sect. And the stronger these sects are, the better!" Ye Gucheng agreed. Yet paired with her fox-like features, she possessed a unique beauty. Simply standing at the roadside with a mask on, she still drew the gaze of many passersby.

Over there, Ning Tinghai had been chasing Ning Zizhao for most of the day, running around nearly the whole estate. After landing a few blows, he finally pretended to be fierce and lowered his broom.

After the morning's incident, Xu Zian was still attentive enough to notice her strangeness and immediately went to buy medicine and make soup. Although he didn't know what had happened recently, Luffy could clearly sense that his parents were slowly making progress, adapting to the changes of the era.

From Yu Huaixu and Yu Huaiyue's words, he could roughly guess that they had offended Yu Shiji; otherwise, their allowance wouldn't have been cut off. A rough estimate suggested that the tree trunk had grown for at least ten years before it was uprooted—at its thinnest, it was still a foot thick.

Wang Lin finally decided to leave first and discuss countermeasures with everyone, so he got up to bid Tao Shihan farewell. As for last night's events, Yi Bolun truly couldn't recall them clearly, but he knew the video was from last night.

The other side had long known who Wang Yuxian was, and had anticipated he would intervene, so they'd purposely sent two sharp-tongued people to guide Wang Yuxian into vouching for Chu Zhong. "Besides, my master has wandered off to all corners of the world; he's impossible to find and can't offer you any introductions," Zhao Yun said.

Suddenly, such a thought sprang up, though he tried desperately to deny it; yet he had to admit, deep within, he'd always kept that image in his heart.

"Then let's try the crab roe soup dumplings," Ma Yiyi suggested—she had only been in Gold City for three months and hadn't tasted the Huaiyang-style crab roe dumplings yet.

Qin Luo's mind stirred, and an invisible surge of true energy radiated from his body, lifting the bronze cauldron into the air, making it hover midair.

"The food and lodging you've had over these past two days are all on me," the hotel receptionist exclaimed excitedly upon recognizing Fang Shaoyun, immediately summoning the hotel manager. The manager, seeing Fang Shaoyun, was beside himself with excitement and spoke thus.

Xiao Yu hadn't expected Yun Wanjiang to reject him with such an excuse. After a moment's silence, he prepared to put away the Dou Wang Pill.

The man before them was dazzlingly handsome, his features sharply defined as if carved from marble, his angular face exceptionally striking.

Qingyue Wang couldn't recall why she intervened at that moment; she shouldn't have reached out, yet she did—she grabbed the other person's sleeve without hesitation.

Qian Beibei's voice was syrupy sweet as she finished speaking, then she took a porcelain box and clutched it in her palm, intending to give it to Yu Chu as a thank-you gift after Yu Chu finished asking for her.

The moonlight's enhancement only applied when there was moonlight; the attributes could receive extra boosts. This enhancement was comprehensive, strengthening all attributes, so that thirty percent was truly the greatest augmentation from the Holy Garment of the Moon, able to stack with all existing increases.

Twin beams of light erupted from both people, one dazzling and radiant, the other as dark as storm clouds blotting out the sky. Yet one thing was the same—their figures were now impossible to discern.
