Chapter 53

I chased after them to pick up the toys, and by the time the two dogs lay panting on their backs, fast asleep, I was drenched in sweat myself.

"I know you had no choice in approaching Prince Chen. He forced you to do this, didn't he?" Feng Wuhen stepped forward, somewhat agitated, gazing at her intently as he suddenly blurted out the thought in his mind.

"Jinglan, come over and eat with us. We'll set off as soon as we finish." Ji Zili pulled her toward the table.

In the end, Ye Li hurriedly hung up the phone, leaving it pressed beneath her hand, not daring to glance at it again for a long time.

I stared at the ceiling, thinking no wonder Jiang Qingwan's look at me earlier had seemed a bit off; so she knew everything.

At this moment, Ji Mingyue was far too calm and aloof, resembling a block of ice, making those who had once been close to her feel as though she were keeping everyone at a distance of a thousand miles.

I remember that day, I had prepared a table full of dishes for Jiang Qingwan, all of her absolute favorites, simply wanting to win back her heart.

Mu Yun'er was willing to display her disheveled and vulnerable side to her partner because they were the closest people to one another.

Having finished his emotional reflection, Jiang Yue sprang into action, pouring the used pungent medicinal liquid over the roots of the stinky vine outside. He then picked up a firewood chopper and set about processing the carcasses of the two roe deer.

Thinking that there were no other facilities around, Lin Meng surmised that Lin Zhiyu might have been invited over by friends for a meal.

Liu Feng naturally noticed this situation as well, but he chose to ignore it for the moment, deciding to dish out some heavy mockery first.

The fiery female detective was held tightly in Xia Xuan's embrace, their bodies pressed closely together. The softness of her chest was squeezed against Xia Xuan's torso, making her feel extremely uneasy.

Ye Xuan seemed to sense something instinctively. Like yang meeting yin, completely out of reflex, he suddenly pulled Lin Yaxin into his embrace.

Once Yang Song's offensive was launched, the tranquil atmosphere was instantly shattered. Factions from all sides burned with fighting spirit, and suddenly the sound of breaking wind pierced the air. One figure after another plunged into the deep pool, unleashing ferocious attacks upon the stone python.

Qin Tian did not know; he could only sense that, ever since breaking off their engagement, Murong Fei seemed even gentler, more considerate, and kinder to him.

Yet although Wuye blocked it effortlessly, his speed was still affected! He was instantly left miles behind by Ying Chen and Xiao Yuan.

As soon as he emerged, Tang Yi spotted Hua Wueyan waiting outside long ago, accompanied by the leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect.

Unaccustomed to speaking much, Zhao Lanjin stood aside to act as a translator. Yet watching Bai Susu's joyful expression, he found himself staring in a daze, overwhelmed by a long-absent sense of peace of mind.

Zheng Zhan's indiscriminate attacks left the earth in utter devastation. The once majestic eight-legged rhinoceros was reduced to unidentifiable fragments; its shattered limbs and broken bones were scattered everywhere across the ground. The sharp horn of the flying fork on its head had snapped into several sections, hanging precariously from a tree branch attached merely by a shred of skin.

The person's words remained unfinished, concluding only with a piercing, miserable scream, clearly indicating he had been exterminated by that ferocious beast.

Silently cursing to himself, Fang Heng felt a growing sense of aversion toward the methods of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. He could understand creating dangers to demonstrate strength, but there had to be limits; one could not simply drive people to desperate straits at every turn.

One of his intertwined hands withdrew. Leng Jilan wore a stern, handsome expression as he pondered for a full minute, seemingly recalling something.

The excruciating pain piercing her palm made her gasp. She widened her watery eyes and accused him with a glare.

Each of them was bruised and battered, clearly having taken a severe beating. Then, the sound of crashing and smashing echoed from the other end of the bar, prompting her to rush hurriedly toward the noise.

He had no idea what to do either. In the past, she would definitely have stepped forward to champion them; no matter who he was, whenever she encountered such situations, she would enthusiastically offer help. But now, any meeting between her and President Bai would inevitably be awkward, and their status was equally embarrassing to everyone around them.

However, before Gong Shangxie could respond, Gong Shangmei also abruptly sat down beside Princess Anne.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" asked Li Li, the staff member inside.

Chen Yang said coldly, a sword light soaring into the sky, leaving Li Juejian, who had charged forward, stunned in his tracks.

"He's my son, so what if he cooks a meal for me? Is there a problem? No, so stop talking," Jiang Qiao said, taking a bite of her spaghetti, sipping some fish soup, and continuing.

What the smiling tiger did not know was that Xiao Yunjian, who had successfully orchestrated the scheme, felt not the slightest bit of triumph at his plot succeeding, but rather a heart full of bitterness.

"So what if we don't hold your Faxiang Temple in any regard?" True Man Yuquan wielded a large golden bow, its surface glowing with flowing light and immortal brilliance.

Ye Kong and Jun Ruoying walked with supreme elegance onto the one-meter-high stage that had been set up. When they reached the center of the platform, the lighting shifted once more, reverting to the original setup. The venue grew much brighter, losing the dimness from just moments before.

Stone Niu unleashed a ferocious lion roar technique, the sonic waves shattering the ground and kicking up successive layers of rising concrete slabs as he charged at Ding Fan.

As those two streaks of bloody light merged into Yun Qian's body, an extraordinarily striking scarlet mark unexpectedly began to form on his exposed skin. Formed by the intertwining of two distinct auras, the very first spot of manifestation was right between Yun Qian's eyebrows.
