Volume One, Chapter 76: Building Small Western-Style Houses and Grafting Camellia Trees

After Pei Yu'an and Lin's parents were taken away by the police, they were detained for three days. Eventually, Lin's parents could not bear it any longer and confessed that it had all been their idea.

“We just didn’t want our daughter to suffer in the countryside, so we gave her some laxatives. It really wasn’t poisoning.”

“Yes, yes, officer, even a tiger won’t eat its cubs.”

Duan Weiqi also went to bed. He lay down, remembering what Duan Shanshan had said, and flipped over irritably, burying his head in the pillow.

Asheng tugged at his weary-looking grandfather’s sleeve. What had happened had already happened, and the opportunity had been missed. What mattered now was what to do next.

He squatted down by her feet, not waiting for Yun Erjie to refuse, and assertively pulled her legs onto his knees. Warming his hands, he unscrewed the bottle, poured some medicinal wine into his palm, and gently rubbed it onto her ankle.

After arriving at the airport, Suyi immediately switched to a hover car. The vehicle moved slowly along the way, all lanes having been cleared. At first, she was able to keep the window open and look outside, seeing the rows of towering buildings below and the endless streams of people.

At that moment, his gaze became fixed for a moment, clearly operating something on WeChat using the eye-tracking function.

A heavy punch landed on his temple, the force instantly piercing through his consciousness and snuffing out his awareness.

This procession was called the Spring Walk. Those in office led at the front, followed by musicians and performers who sang and acted as they marched. At the end of the line, a mud ox adorned with lanterns was carried along, parading at the very rear.

The door was tightly closed, and the once-transparent glass was now covered with a layer of white paper, making it impossible to see inside.

Cao Sheng and Xun You, both solitary men, lived in the same courtyard, their rooms separated by only a single wall.

To call them mere servants would be an understatement. After five ox carts traveled several dozen miles, they joined seven hundred soldiers. These private troops wore chainmail beneath their clothes, armed with bows, arrows, and steel blades. As they marched towards Qiao County, no bandits along the way dared to challenge their might.

Maya stared wide-eyed in confusion at Long Zhan, who was unscathed. Could it be that not even the King of the Underworld was his match?

But so what? He was saving someone, understand? There wasn’t a trace of wickedness in his heart, you see?

Besides, since the deities here were connected to the divine power and bones that Senior Brother Bai Moyan had fused with, he certainly had the means to conceal his own divine bones, rather than leaving them exposed.

“You didn’t sleep in the base’s bathhouse?” Qin Feng was curious, rather surprised by Chu Zhaoren’s choice.

Since he was already at the school, Qin Hao thought he might as well not waste the trip, so he headed to the film crew’s set. He had assumed the set would be empty since the crew had two days off, but as soon as he reached the entrance, he heard activity inside.

At this point, Ye Jiujiu could no longer worry about Feng Mojang’s mood. Still, her fingers trembled slightly as she pressed the button, feeling that after today, things would go badly for her.

Yan Zi and Yufeng were both stunned. More than two hundred years ago, when Ye Lingtian was beaten so badly that his cultivation fell to the Nascent Soul stage, the entire Bright Moon Continent was shaken. Yet, no one knew who had done it.

Yu Ge was someone she had mentored, and she was always unconventional. That was why the medicine used to restore her appearance and health had never been approved or recognized by the orthodox medical community. That was also why Yu Ge had been investigated and detained at the time.

Of course, there was another possibility, but by all common logic, it was the least likely.

On the other side, Fu Shaoquan sat at the edge of the bed, a cigarette already lit. His deep eyes showed not the slightest hint of sleepiness.

She needed this light, just as she clung to her freedom. Only these two things gave her the strength to withstand cruelty and darkness; only these kept her going.
