Chapter 51: The Future

Silence hung on the other side as well. Both of them simultaneously felt the oppressive weight of each other's emotions, heavy and stifling like the darkened sky, leaving them deeply unsettled.

Jiang Mugui only dared to ask such a carefully measured question, not even daring to be too direct for fear that she would shy away again.

His voice finally drifted over, somewhat obscure and dim: "Of course."

Her eyes stung with a sharper ache, and for a fleeting moment she felt...

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner, a lone spirit butterfly lingered by the window, catching every word of the conversation within the inner palace. It fluttered its colorful wings and flew toward the other side of the divine palace.

When Lu Mofeng returned to the bed, Gu Qing, just as she always had, instinctively gravitated toward his presence and snuggled close.

It had to be said that Feng Jieyue's performance was truly flawless. The moment the cup slipped from his hand, his fingers seemed to brush against Sophia with casual indifference.

The heavy spear gave a fierce jolt, and a murderous aura abruptly erupted from Sun Changning. As the shaft trembled, nothing but a flash of silver and a burst of overwhelming force tore through the air, instantly gouging a deep pit into the ground.

To pursue him, she had joined the company as a personal assistant. Yet as a fresh intern who knew nothing, her work was handled by other assistants, and even his daily meals ultimately boiled down to take-out from five-star hotels.

Entering the office, Shen Yuxin saw the kindergarten director's understanding expression. Figuring the director had likely guessed the purpose of her visit, she suddenly felt rather embarrassed to speak up.

After that conversation, Wang Hanxin’s mind was in turmoil. Though others remained unaware, he knew full well that Xu Yourong’s current plight was entirely of his own making. Overcome with guilt, he tried to mask it by drinking, every movement fully observed by Xu Ning.

Instead of rushing to answer the call, he tossed his phone with elegant casualness onto the car seat beside him.

As for Guan Yu's unexhausted strength of nine bulls and two tigers, it was passed down to the renowned Tang dynasty general Xue Rengui, which is why people throughout the world say Xue Rengui possessed the strength of nine bulls and two tigers.

Outside, Zhu Yuanzhang had set a massive trap. No sooner had they crawled up from the underground tunnel and reached the surface than they tumbled headfirst into yet another snare.

Garuda seemed to recognize the grey-haired old man, a faint glimmer of delight flashing in its eyes. It was like a long-awaited opponent finally appearing before it, stirring an irrepressible urge to leap into battle.

"No matter what you disguise yourself as, the aura of a golden finger remains unchanged," Yang Ling said with a smile.

As for the [Monthly Tasks], Su Cheng pondered for a moment before deciding to leave them alone. There was nothing pressing that needed immediate completion right now, so with demands low, the tasks could wait.

Immediately afterward, wearing an expression of utter terror, she instantly shifted into a mode of desperate pleading.

Although Huangjue Temple was not very far from Jinling City, its conditions were vastly different from those here.

"Sir, the company we previously planned to absorb has encountered some obstacles," He Dong said,早已 prepared.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang had already been honored by his subordinates as the Duke of Wu, he still preferred to be addressed simply as Commander.

Naturally, in the vast majority of battles, the defending side at least holds the advantage of terrain.

His father had explicitly told him that Mr. Edward's bedroom within the ducal residence was the most auspicious location and that it must never be relocated, as doing so would bring misfortune upon the Edward family.

Entering the room—termed a guest room—he found it unexpectedly spacious, complete with a bedroom, a private bathroom, a meeting room, and a workspace. It was the most luxurious hotel room Guan Zhui had ever seen.

"..." Only moments ago she had been ignoring him, but now she had executed a complete one-eighty-degree turn, giving Shui Mei quite a start.

He seemed to never understand how to pronounce the word "no"; no matter what I asked, he would agree without condition. Someone like him actually left me somewhat overwhelmed, constantly fearing that over time, my wavering resolve might cause me to forget he was merely an NPC, thereby breeding some improper sense of reliance.
