Chapter 32: The White Moonlight of the Miao Saint 16
A-Tian could not wait any longer; he leaped down from the steps and quickly arrived before the two of them.
Yang Chengchuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
"If you have matters to attend to, please go ahead. I can boil the bathwater myself," Lu Ning-shi said, noticing A-Tian stealing glances at her with a conflicted expression. She thoughtfully created a moment of privacy for the two of them.
"There is no need for you to do it yourself."
"Holy Son—" A-Tian interjected, trying to assert his presence.
Facing the sudden assault of the three deviants, Lei Yu moved with effortless speed, reacting before they could strike. In an instant, he knocked all three to the ground. Unfamiliar with the rules of the competition, however, he refrained from inflicting any fatal injuries.
The sudden silence left both of them feeling quite uncomfortable, yet unable to find a new topic to test each other, they sat there, each harboring their own secret agenda.
Night Shadow headed straight for the Yanjing Military District. Upon arriving at the gate, he was surprised to see Swordfish and Vulture acting as guards, though they were slumped over and dozing off.
Gao Ming had long since treated Li Ye’s residence as his own home. In truth, it was a property belonging to the Gao family, merely lent to Li Ye for the time being; once Li Ye’s own princely estate in the Bohai Kingdom was completed, the property would be returned to the Gao family.
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air rang out as a poisoned dart whistled toward Shen Yaxi.
The dim candlelight cast her shadow against the vast room, molding it into a posture of profound loneliness.
Although he had eventually met Jiang Qiu’er and Liu Qingxi, and his heart had gradually begun to heal, he could never truly forget the wounds of the past. They say a first love is the most unforgettable, and his had been etched into his very soul.
The giant dragon coiled in the sky let out a deafening roar. Its overwhelming draconic aura surged like a tempest, tearing through space as it charged toward Lei Kun in the distance.
"Fine, my car is broken, so we have no choice but to rest here for a while. But Ghost Blade, you must accompany me to the military district early the day after tomorrow," He Tian sighed.
Shen Yaxi arched an eyebrow, a shrewd glint of amusement in her eyes. With a light tap of her foot, she lifted her sword and descended from mid-air to the ground.
"But those are your ancestors! To do this is unfilial!" Ye Qingcheng looked at him with a heart full of anguish. If not for her, would he ever have committed such an act of treason?
Tan Lin replied with a solemn expression, "It is indeed unexpected." Recently, the Emperor had poured most of his energy into training the Imperial Guards, offloading the bulk of the court’s administrative duties onto him. In just over a month, he had visibly wasted away.
Regardless of whether it was a genuine mistake or a deliberate act, Empress Dowager Ming Su could no longer be allowed to remain in the palace.
The exhaustion of the night had already left Xue Kai feeling weak, and when Yang Lemeng suddenly drew near, he felt entirely unable to resist.
The first person you meet is not necessarily the one who stays until the end. Cheng Yudie met Duke Si first, but it was Yu Mofan who ultimately accompanied her on her adventures across the world. Similarly, Duke Si met Cheng Yudie first, but his heart eventually settled on Yu Yajie.
Yu Ning’er could never quite understand this. Given Nine Pearls' personality, she was the type least likely to tolerate such things, yet Yu Ning’er had failed to detect even a hint of dissatisfaction from her.
"This is impossible!" Boss Du flatly refused to believe it. "You must have heard wrong. How could he possibly have returned alive?" He grabbed his subordinate by the collar, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
Thus, several domestic directors, wishing to congratulate him, not only sent flower baskets as gifts but also filmed special videos to offer their regards.
Where was Yu Yajie? And where was Cheng Yudie? Who exactly was playing games with him? And what lay beyond the eighteenth floor?
Huo Yelou knew of her condition, so he was meticulous about her diet. During the winter, he even specially imported several fox fur coats from the northwestern border to keep her warm.
It not only pushed the spiritual light points of the four-legged chicken—arranged by Yang Cheng according to the clock—to the side, but even the combined brightness of all the other four-legged chickens’ light points could not match its intensity.
