Volume One, Chapter 118: The Dowry Chests

Aunt Feng trembled as she took off her gloves, accepted the pastry from Zhang Weidong, and shakily tore open the wax paper wrapping. She broke off a piece for her daughter, Xiao Hong, and the two of them began eating with giggles and laughter.

While eating, Xiao Hong winked at Zhang Weidong, who felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Lin Min’s lips twitched. Although the situation still seemed strange, having experienced similar events herself, she no longer refuted Ning Yunhuan’s words as vehemently as before; instead, she felt somewhat doubtful yet half-convinced.

Lan Lingyan nodded slightly, then shifted her gaze back to the screen. Ning Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief but sensed something was amiss; however, he remained silent.

In the interstellar realm, it was rare for soldiers who couldn’t eat meat, but everyone knew that star beast meat—especially from high-level star beasts brimming with vitality—was extremely rare and expensive. Eating too much at once was even embarrassing.

If she won, they would accuse her of lacking generosity; if she lost, it was worse—they would mock her as less than a fool. Because Mu Jinyan overthought things, but after Ning Yunhuan’s bodyguard retaliated and beat him so badly he lost teeth and was disfigured, he harbored deep hatred in his heart.

The car drove out of the Stone Flower Grand Hotel, wandered around the county town, and finally stopped by the winding Tongtian River.

Thus, every day during literacy classes, one could see crowds of beast people packed tightly into the classroom.

No wonder these few were so troubled. With their thousand-year heritage, they could silence the Lin family with just a jade pendant; how much more power lay behind them? If a millennium-old family mobilized their ancestral forces to fight desperately, it was hard to say who would emerge victorious.

A roar like thunder exploded. The update came immediately, startling Young Master Wu so much he trembled all over. Suddenly his foot slipped. Nothing now obstructed his forward steps. A figure leapt into the night and vanished in an instant.

Xu Gongsheng chose to remain neutral outright. Zhang Qiao could be counted among them, as could Wang Yingli, while the Old Fox was only half in. In truth, the Old Fox was the true strategist; he had known everything from beginning to end, and this matter was his final test for me.

In a mountain valley, a terrifyingly dark energy erupted, enveloping thousands of miles of the deep sea in the blink of an eye.

To avoid the last-place announcer feeling too discouraged, they started reporting from third place.

What reason could these people possibly have for wanting to eliminate me? Yet this did not prevent Yu Ze from ruthlessly striking back.

“Feng Ma! Where do you keep the newspapers Fu Chen reads?” Shen Huaijing rummaged through boxes, calling out loudly.

When Yang Chanjun married Zhang Lingyu’s father, less than a month later, Zhang Lingyu’s father passed away unexpectedly.

However, he did not intend to advise him; let him eat as he pleased. Once he became too fat to be liked, he would naturally diet.

“Where have you been?” Li Jiang asked as he saw Ji Liangqing sneaking back, clearly relieved.

Ning Xiu appeared beside him, grabbed his arm, transformed his palm into a blade, and suddenly struck down. With a crack, the Fire Sect leader’s hand holding the knife was severed.

Over the years, they had never visited the new house bought by Old Master Jin; it was always Old Master Jin who came back during the New Year.

Han Yuchao also noticed that Li Chengyong’s eyes dimmed noticeably. Han Yuchao wanted to ask more, but Li Chengyong said, “It’s done. You can leave now,” and walked away without looking back.

Ling Yufei’s face stiffened, his expression darkening. He hadn’t expected this newly acquainted girl to be so disrespectful to him.

“You’re not mistaken, are you? Regirock intends to destroy the Water of Life, and yet you’re still helping it here?” Wang Hao protested indignantly.
