Volume 1, Chapter 52: Forcing Her into a Second Marriage

Leaving this stone chamber and heading further ahead, he discovered a few more skeletons similar to the previous two. It seemed the islanders had sent quite a few people here.

Feng Wushuang was as bright as snow and naturally understood that Fengchi had acted out of good intentions, yet she could not help but scold Fengchi a couple of times. Never had she expected Fengchi to burst into tears. She glanced at the old drunkard Lei Dongtian and puckered her lips to signal him to comfort Fengchi.

"This... what happens then?" Although Tie Cheng had mobilized all his inner Qi, he still could not resist the bone-chilling cold.

Cheng Lingzhi felt like crying without tears. As her peripheral vision happened to catch Xin Xi leaning against the doorway looking as if she were watching a good show, her mind cleared up instantly for a moment.

Gazing up at the mountain-like colossal bone dragons soaring above the sacred land, which floated silently in the void like warriors awaiting military orders, the elders felt their eyes grow red.

She had indeed arrived too late. Had she been able to come a step earlier, perhaps misunderstandings would never have existed between her and Xiao Huan.

Regardless of what they had once done together, everything was severed at this moment, parting ways with bygones forgotten and future matters unmentioned.

After long hours of deep contemplation aboard the Mirage, Tianming's thinking had become much more rigorous. Even in dangerous situations, he could remain calm and collected to make the most correct choice.

Big Boss Wan loved money. Some said his greatest hobby was listening to the sound of counting money; to him, there was nothing in the world more wondrous and pleasant than that sound.

Every time she had resolved herself on how to act, the very next second she would make a decision completely contrary to her own plan.

Since they had already taken action, it meant they already suspected him. Could this Princess Lengxia be under the control of the Empress?

Dou Jinying raised her face with a smile as bright as peach blossoms, gazing affectionately and tenderly at Qin Fang like a flower delicate and dripping with dew.

Her words were originally meant to plead for everyone and ask Ye Zizheng to get up and handle matters, but little did she know that Murong Heng would not buy it at all. He cast a cold glance at the crowd and asked, "Who are all of you?"

An Yujing gazed at Xia Jie sleeping soundly beside the bed, looking at the place where they had embraced one another. The tip of her nose caught that familiar, heart-palpitating scent, and she lost herself in a trance for a moment.

Originally, she did not want to trouble others with such matters, but she was currently placed under house arrest in her room and could not go out at all. Hanyue had not appeared either; presumably, Ah Jie had given deliberate instructions to that effect.

This was the first time Ye Zhen walked openly through the main gates of the Eastern Suppression Bureau. Previously, she was a Palace Mistress, but ultimately still a subordinate. Now, she was exalted as the Empress—she was the sovereign.

"Yan'er, go fetch the gift I prepared for Lady Xiangning," Yu Shuxian instructed with a smile as brilliant as peach blossoms.

In other words, this injury meant that Ye Lin had been hurt! Even though they were still locked in an intensely matched battle, under a two-against-one situation, even Ye Lin had sustained injuries... I dared not think any further.

"Leave it to fate. We cannot simply leave her outside alone, otherwise she is bound to die sooner or later. Her temperament is truly formidable. Ever since she first entered the palace, she has been as stubborn as a donkey." Whenever Murong Fengchua spoke of this, he would grit his teeth slightly.

Immersed entirely in her own imagination, An Yujing naturally failed to notice Uncle Yan's abruptly stiffened body.

This place was still just the same. The heart-shaped flower field in the garden, the rockery under the willow tree carved with the character "Luo", and the overwhelming water lilies in the pond... Everything was exactly as it had been three years ago, without a single change.

"Sister Linlin, I'll go change my clothes first!" Zihan walked into the inner room and took out the dance costume she had prepared earlier.

Seeing this chaotic scene, the corners of Zihan's lips lifted slightly. It seemed today was the day! Without panicking, she turned off the video recording function on her phone and walked toward Rouyan Courtyard.

Mu Jingchi was fishing there, so I took off my socks and soaked my feet in the river water. The maidservants waited not far away, and the surroundings were exceptionally quiet.

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator stopped. The corners of his mouth curved in a wicked smirk as he walked out first, holding the car keys.

The two spoke in very low voices, but speakers say it without intent, while listeners take it to heart, so no one noticed the cold flash in the bright eyes of Chu Hanying not far away.

Jin Lin let out a soft sound of protest, instantly feeling her red lips sealed. Instinctively, she tightly closed her teeth to form a defense, yet she could not withstand the man's burning, agile tongue gently prying them open. Within a split second, she lost the battle, leaving her fate to that deft tongue darting suddenly inside.

The door was closed, but I was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, I calmed down instantly and went to sit by the bed. Before long, the telephone in my room unexpectedly rang at that very moment.

"What? Do you still hope I would kill them?" Duan Ke was still vexed over failing to subdue Huang Kui, and upon hearing Li Yuan's question, she could not help asking back with a hint of mockery.

"Damn it! Where on earth did this army pop up from?" Feng Qingchi said bitterly. Just as victory seemed within reach, the duck ready to fly into his mouth had slipped away like this; he was truly unwilling to accept it.

If Eagle-Eye Lao Qi had not happened to be carrying a knife, if Eagle-Eye Lao Qi had not happened to be lying drunkenly across the table, and if he had not happened to need to leave a note for Eagle-Eye Lao Qi, he would not have taken Eagle-Eye Lao Qi's knife, nor would he have discovered this principle.

She also prayed in her heart that she could be a little luckier, hoping that Gu Chen would spare her from making a fool of herself considering their relationship of so many years.

"Look at how messy this big family of ours is, and just how many brothers and sisters you have." How could Yun Shiji ever give up without finding out?

What was most damnedly unexpected was that several people he had never heard of before were exceptionally formidable.

Flashing outward without even waiting for the bones to hit the ground, Jun Yan had already collected the finest among the fallen bones. Guaranteed by his Heaven's Eye vision, no deviation would ever occur.

Scanning his surroundings carefully once more, this time Jun Yan did not miss a single dead angle. As long as a trace of fluctuation let him discover it, he could pinpoint the approximate location. However, after he completed another full circle of rotation, his expression finally changed slightly.

Qin Yang was not worried about the utilization of these funds exceeding one billion, because the Qin Shield Investment Company would supervise all the company's accounts. While they did not interfere with Xie Dong spending money, if there were problems with how the money was spent, they had the right to directly terminate the original spending plan.
