The night was already deep, and the unlit living room was in utter chaos. Snack bags and empty beverage cans were strewn everywhere, and the Ludo board remained crumpled and unorganized, with pieces and cards scattered across the floor. The long-ignored DVD player automatically entered screen-saver mode, leaving only the faint, dim light of standby glowing eerily.
It felt like the lingering aftermath of a party where the guests had all departed.
Nagasaki Soyo's host-style Thieving Feather Robe plan was proceeding smoothly, as if the heavens themselves were inclined to grant her good fortune—the heavy rain outside had not yet ceased.
His father had called some time ago, saying that they had looked at a house with a good location and layout, and it was a ready-to-move-in property, asking him to come back and take a look. At the time, he was too busy to return and simply told the old couple to make the decision themselves.
In the end, it was Qiu Xiang and Tian Huimin who forcefully pulled her down to sit, and even then, she only dared to perch on the edge of the chair.
"Alright," Li Jingfu nodded. Meanwhile, Mrs. Zhao had already gathered up Li Jingfu's previous changes of clothes from inside the room. Li Jingfu took the spare garments, and as if suddenly remembering something, he reached into his bosom and pressed a cloth pouch into Mrs. Zhao's hand.
Today happened to be snowing again, and the area around the tiger-mouth stove was even more crowded than usual, while carts of goods blocked the entire street completely.
When Saturday arrived, Yanzhi woke up exceptionally early. She was genuinely afraid that the thick-skinned fellow would rush over very early today, which would spell trouble if she were still trapped in her duvet.
There were still many giant dragons flying about in the surroundings, but the weapons on the crab seemed to have eyes of their own, actively chasing and striking the dragons in the sky, while the crab itself continued to bombard the ground at the peak of the Dragon Summit.
Though Lan Cai tried her best to remain calm, Mingsi, knowing her well, could still detect a trace of tension in her voice.
And these two things were things Mingsi had never possessed. As for before entering the estate, Mao'er had even less of a chance to set foot there.
Meanwhile, Yu Zidu continued to leisurely savor that piece of unfinished jujube paste steamed cake, taking the opportunity to observe Qingdai's embarrassed expression.
Because of this, the Mo estate had to prepare some gifts and pack up various items so that Li Jingang's party could take them back to Huizhou the next day. This flurry of activity lasted deep into the night.
"Let's go. I'll take a look; perhaps I can save him," Wang Zui said, immediately calling Zhang Jing to ask for leave. Zhang Jing didn't ask for the reason—after all, their relationship was already ambiguous and unconventional.
She fiercely scolded herself. She had always been fearless and undaunted in everything she did, yet now she found herself trapped in the mazes of romance, unable to find a way out.
This sentence instantly aroused the vigilance of the three people present, for they knew that Yama's faction was also searching for this divine artifact.
While admitting her fault, Tang Wan'er also cleverly pointed out that she was unable to leave the estate rather than unwilling to, and all of this was due to the First Madam's deliberate obstructions.
Wuxi thought for a moment and said, "Then this consort will not go in. Take this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so he can wipe himself!" With that, she turned and walked toward the imperial garden.
Decided! One day later, Tang Wan'er thought to herself, and then, looking left and right, she swiftly leaped off the carriage and crouched down, preparing to slip away.
Linyi also intentionally favored Bei Xuening, and it was by his own hands that the imperial jade seal was bestowed upon Murong Han for his ascension to the throne.
Yueye was unafraid of his scheming; she knew very well that the people here would not harm her.
"Early tomorrow morning, this subordinate will seal off this bedchamber and announce to the outside world that Your Highness is in secluded cultivation. If Your Highness has time... you must return to the Holy Cult more often. Once the matter concerning the demons in Yecai City is resolved, you must return as soon as possible!" Manzhen was filled with reluctance to part.
Those who knew Zhong Kang's identity immediately spoke up, eager to watch the spectacle and add a spice of excitement to their mundane university lives.
Zhao Lixin called Zhang Chen out to the hallway, stared at him without a word, and simply handed back the Sony Walkman Zhang Chen had once given him. After a long while, Zhao Lixin sighed, patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder, and still saying nothing, turned and walked away.
