Sakiko and Anon
"Oh, here he comes!"
Leaning against the wall at the end of the corridor, Crow spotted Xiangzi, immediately dropping his slovenly posture and letting out a flippant whistle.
"How utterly elegant! You are the very embodiment of grace! Your footsteps along this red carpet make me feel as though I've stepped right into the Cannes Film Festival! Those movie stars are absolute trash compared to you!"
"Can you speak like a normal human being?" Xiangzi just wanted to massage his temples, though to be honest, this outfit...
Yin Mo reached for the one the man pointed at. But the moment his fingers brushed it, the man grabbed Yin Mo's hand. Anger flashed across Yin Mo's face as he immediately tried to pull away, but the man's grip was ironclad, leaving him completely unable to break free.
Ye Zhen had no energy to pay him any attention, keeping his eyes closed. The injury Ye Zhen sustained was trivial—just some bleeding from his face, essentially a nosebleed, which could be easily cleaned up in no time.
"Su Jun, how can you be like this? Our Paranormal Association is..." Li Litian started to say, only to be interrupted once again by Li Jiaoyun.
At this moment, Mu Mangzi dared not reveal his true identity to Mu Qingshan, while Mu Qingshan never expected to find Mu Mangzi here at all.
Klugh stared at the news bulletin broadcasting on the television, finally understanding the real reason Shen Tong had asked him to watch the news.
Sure enough, as Lanyue was making her way from the slums across the district toward the affluent area, Ding Zhen intercepted her halfway. She grabbed him by the back of the collar from behind, dragged him to the corner of a house by the roadside, and with a single kick, buckled both of his kneecaps, instantly forcing him to drop to his knees before her.
Shi Xiaofeng finally unraveled a mystery in his heart, while simultaneously feeling ashamed for having suspected his elder paternal cousin's uncle of being the client who hired the assassin.
"I actually wish I could!" Ming Lou said, turning around to head upstairs. Ming Fan remained seated in silence. Was the eldest sister's return a blessing or a curse?
As evening approached, E Guihua, acting on instructions from her elder brother E Zhuo—who was posing as their father E Ren—personally prepared a table of fine dishes in the open terrace outside her residence to host her guests.
However, Gu Yunxi knew very well in her heart that ever since Qin Yuetian discovered her attempt to use Imperial Concubine Yan's hand to eliminate Gu Nianxi, Qin Yuetian had kept her confined within the palace, strictly forbidding her from ever coming into contact with Gu Nianxi again.
"If you two have been promoted, I truly must congratulate you. You've only managed to pick up the superficial basics in America, whereas Senior Inspector Li is far more capable than I am," Yao Xuechen said with a smile, offering his congratulations.
Qi Xuanjing frowned and looked around. Some people were whispering to each other, seemingly eager to forge alliances between the strong.
"Yes, but as long as the shooter has enough force behind it, after all, it's just an ice puck." Yan Liushang seemed to possess absolute certainty, speaking of the matter with utter ease.
"What manner of creatures are you?" The leader of the Celestial Wolves spoke in human tongue, surrounded by a pack of wolf kin who stood poised to attack at any moment.
"I think Yan Liunian was just trying to trick us. Didn't you hear what she and Yan Liushang said about a sandbag target?" Ignoring their playful banter, Niu Chen continued his analysis.
This process was equivalent to Chen Xi casting a Thunder Dragon once, consuming a small amount of mental energy, but it was of no consequence.
Since the girl refused to give him any face, Chen Xi didn't bother sparing hers either, speaking with utter bluntness. In truth, that was precisely what he had in mind, though it appeared his attempt had failed.
After the trial stamping of the secret key and the capping ceremony, the day was already drawing to a close. The final item on the agenda for today was the long-awaited coming-of-age hairpin ceremony for the young maidens, a moment Qingya had been anticipating for so long.
Ah Huan was about to reply when he slowly blinked awake. It turned out he had been reliving his experiences within the divine tree over the past three days throughout his dream. Yet, there were indeed certain matters, and words spoken to him by certain tree spirits, that he could not yet fully comprehend. He decided it would be best not to share everything with everyone just yet.
Cultivating in such a place would undoubtedly result in progress千里 a day (a thousand miles a day). At this very moment, even they couldn't help but yearn to stay here indefinitely, tempted to relocate their own dependents and family members to this sanctuary.
Following the events of yesterday, a distinct shift had occurred between Zhu Siyun and Nalan Liuchuan. Gone was the mutual loathing and malicious teasing; instead, they fussed over each other with meticulous care. Regardless of the nature of their affection, it could certainly be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.
