Volume 1, Chapter 136: A Matter of Great Importance

Qiu Yihan could not remember a single thing about getting home last night. Looking at the two extra bowls of dumplings, her mind was instantly taken over by curiosity.

With a pale face and blood trickling from the corner of her lips, she still bit her lower lip and stood proudly. Two identical pairs of apricot-like eyes locked onto each other; though silent, it spoke volumes.

She had been on the verge of complaining about his fiery temper, but seeing Mu Yunshen's slightly raised eyebrows and deep, enigmatic gaze, she immediately changed her tune.

Yet, looking at her cherished family and friends nearby, she unexpectedly felt a desire to stay here. Standing at the pinnacle where others looked up in awe had been her lifelong pursuit and faith, and now that everything had been achieved, what more could she possibly be dissatisfied with? Why indeed were these tears flowing? Why was this heart aching? Why was breathing becoming so difficult?

Yunye still stood with his hands clasped behind his back, remaining right there and letting Luo Gong's palm strike land squarely upon his body.

"That is truly a pity. My Cheng'er indeed lacks that fortune." Tian Zongheng could only force his anger back down into his heart.

While this remark appeared to be reprimanding Su Yun'er, it was actually an overture of goodwill toward Feng Qianqian. How could Feng Qianqian fail to catch the subtext? It seemed Madame Liang had taken her words from last time quite to heart.

"I know a thing or two about it," Baili Xing replied. He was not being modest; in his memory, he truly only knew a thing or two.

However, disguise devices were not easily acquired. Only legally authorized departments could prepare such equipment independently, much like the studios under Su Jinjin's umbrella.

"Even if I'm busy, I wouldn't leave you behind! Come on, let's go shopping! If he won't accompany you, I will!" Slapping her thigh, Ying Mili immediately pulled her up to her feet.

I sighed. These young people never listen to advice, and sure enough, trouble found them the moment they went inside. At that moment, someone suddenly knocked on my hotel room door, giving me a start. It immediately reminded me of the time I stayed near the City God Temple, when some crazy auntie came knocking on my door in the middle of the night.

That being said, Leng Shixian had clearly been taken away by someone. But who would be so bored as to abduct a living corpse? Why take him away? Where had they taken him?

This time, Tianbao did not let Lingyang down. After more than ten minutes of observation, the computer continued to run smoothly without any abnormalities.

"You must be Xiaoxi, right? Hello, I'm Yisen's fiancée, Gu Zhiqing." Gu Zhiqing extended her hand to me in a friendly gesture.

Leng Mochen pulled me up to my feet, and I couldn't help letting out a sigh. We didn't want to forgive Zhen Man'er, yet we had overlooked Zhen Xiaowei. In truth, deep in Leng Mochen's subconscious, he still hoped I would show leniency toward Zhen Man'er. To Leng Mochen, she had done wrong, but she had also made contributions.

Gazing at his painful expression, she lowered her gaze slightly and said with a hint of apology, "I'm very sorry, my brother did that for my sake." She hadn't expected Lan Chengzhe to beat him to a pulp.

Sword-Washing Cliff was exceptionally high. Although it was the dead of summer, snow still lingered on the mountain peak. Wang Yijian and I walked step by step up Sword-Washing Cliff. The mountain path here was a match for Gazing-Sky Cliff—treacherous, narrow, and steep. Fortunately, our exceptional martial arts kept us from being stopped by this mere mountain trail.

What is this? For a split second, I panicked; my hands and feet refused to obey and were completely paralyzed. Having encountered such a move for the very first time, I inevitably had no idea what to do.

"Yay! Then I can go play every day!" Beibei cheered happily, while Baobao's expression turned gloomy. "But I also want to go to the aquarium." He grew conflicted. He wanted to go to the amusement park, but he wanted to go to the aquarium too. What should he do?

On this side, Qin Zhuo, who was determined to take Shi Manyue on the Ferris wheel, wore an expression of profound disappointment upon encountering this situation.

"Stop chasing, he's long gone. What's so regrettable about that? I'm going to make a living selling pills instead," Ye Xiu said with utter indifference.

Cheng Mo took in the scene and quickly told Qiangzi to make a call to Mu Rongbai. In a situation like this, probably only Mu Rongbai's arrival could make any difference.

His persistence made me angry. Whenever he tried to control me, I had to obey, but when I tried to turn the tables on him, it didn't work at all. That wasn't fair.

Now that she suddenly became so quiet and obedient, standing firmly in her camp, Li Liyun instead felt that all sorts of things were out of place.

Under the gaze of all the demons in the tavern, Ye Xiu picked a table by the wall and sat down, completely ignoring the surrounding looks.

"I can tell from your expression. Something used to be hidden in that cabinet; the perpetrator took it out and stuffed it into their clothes when they left. Unfortunately, the light was too dim, but it was roughly this big—a square-shaped package." I gestured with both hands to show the size.

Lou Yucheng did not consider this a major issue. His heart inside Lin Wanduan could preserve Lin Wanduan's life, and he had no intention of taking it back.

He bent down and reached into the inner pocket of my down jacket. I stared at his hand as he pulled my wallet out from inside.

The life-or-death moment had arrived, making Wei Xiang's scalp tingle. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and hide.

At this point, he didn't even know whether advancing or retreating would be the wiser choice, as he was now practically caught in a hopeless dilemma.

The Undying Taoist's eyes widened in shock. As an incarnation of the Undying Heavenly Emperor's faith, he could certainly be considered well-traveled and experienced.

"You two, stop right there," the leader suddenly shouted loudly as he passed by them.

The scions of the major aristocratic families marched forward, unwilling to fall behind. After walking just a dozen steps or so, everyone felt something was amiss. They felt the downward pressure on their feet growing heavier and heavier, making every single step extremely arduous.

Then Yun Shuang charged straight toward the Dragon King Ghost wielding a giant hammer. Seeing this situation, the Dragon King Ghost continuously unleashed energy, condensing one elemental flying dragon after another, and hurled them directly at Yun Shuang.

You were originally the sovereign of a nation; you shouldn't waste all your time on me. Return to your throne, and return to your golden birdcage.
