Chapter 38: Reconciliation

His kiss set her entire body ablaze, instantly warming her chilled heart. It was the first time he had ever taken the initiative to kiss her—not the perfunctory, fleeting brush of lips, but a kiss charged with genuine emotion.

Jiang Mugui’s astonishment turned to delight, and she gradually surrendered to the moment, trying to respond to him.

But just as her feelings began to thaw and she struggled to lift her chin, preparing to answer him wholeheartedly, he responded even more fiercely, releasing his emotions just as she did...

With billions in assets, he appeared on the surface to be a philanthropist, yet his heart was horribly twisted, filled with a craving for cruelty and slaughter.

“No, stop. What if you really tear the wound open? Lie still. I’ll go call the nurse.” As Fang Zhiqiang spoke, he climbed out of bed and headed for the door.

The Azure-Faced Demon’s expression had darkened to its utmost the moment Di Yunfeng treated him as though he were nothing but air. Now, seeing Di Yunfeng display such audacity, how could he possibly submit? He raised his sleeve as though drawing a crossbow, aimed it at Di Yunfeng, and softly uttered a single word: “Go.”

There happened to be a ready-made one right in front of him. Once he had made use of her to propagate the family line, he could turn her into a free maid by another name.

“Oh, right. Qiangzi, I want to add one condition to selling you the house.” Li Xiaoxiao blinked her large eyes mischievously as she spoke.

“What about me? What role do I play in your hearts?” Di Yunfeng asked again.

1. I want to renovate a laboratory. The base will need to provide certain equipment and skilled personnel to assist.

A photograph lay on the writing desk. It showed Fang Zhiqiang at his university graduation, wearing his academic gown. He had been young then, brimming with confidence and ambition.

He had been struck head-on by the electromagnetic bomb, leaving him completely paralyzed and severely damaging the core chip inside him. That was why he had failed to evade it.

Fortunately, he and Liang Er had been standing close together. There were numerous guards in the surrounding area, and the mecha guards promptly raised a powerful magnetic shield to intercept the blast, preventing casualties among the personnel behind them.

They had prepared everything with considerable care. The value of these items could not be less than a thousand spirit stones, and Fan Wu unceremoniously waved them into her storage bag.

The door of Room 301 stood open. Zhuang Jing glanced inside and, seeing no zombies, gently knocked on the door of Room 302.

“You need a spirit artifact capable of nurturing spirit plants because you have a spirit plant of great importance to you that requires your care. That much must certainly be true, right?”

The Princess Consort had not known what was happening, but as she listened to Hongshi’s sobbing words, she pieced together the truth.

After ending the call, Jiang Yiyu placed the phone down with satisfaction, pulled the needle from his hand, and walked back to his hospital room.

Another tail suddenly appeared in midair. Slightly thinner than the first, it was like a cunning giant serpent lying in ambush among the grass. It shot out without warning and coiled around Vajra Slave’s ankle.

Junzhou was Chengping’s final line of defense. Beyond it, fierce wolves prowled; without this barrier, the land would lie open and level, ready to be trampled beneath the surging cavalry. In former times, the Yanrong had been a prairie tribe who lived in the saddle, and Great Xia had been no match for them.

“Shameless!” Zhou Shaoan saw Yuyangzi launching a sneak attack nearby and was startled. Fortunately, Wu Yishu was unharmed and had even managed to counterattack. When he heard Wu Yishu tell him to leave first, however, his legs refused to move.

In that instant, Lü Bu swept out with the Fangtian Painted Halberd. Xu Rong had no time to dodge before his head flew high into the air, blood spraying from his severed neck.

The dragon soldiers, by contrast, were all veteran warriors who had survived from ancient times. They were the treasured elite of the dragon clan.

After thinking it over, I took out a magical artifact directly from the Cosmic Cloth Bag. I had quite a few artifacts on me, but aside from defensive ones and a few with special functions, I rarely used them. Even after giving some to Huang Shang and Jiumei, I still had plenty left.

He joined forces with people from the Immortal Realm and simply waited nearby. When the newcomers had fought one another to the point where neither side could gain the upper hand, he struck without hesitation.
