Chapter 43: The Cage-Bound Fish of the Beautiful King 1

When Lu Ningshi opened his eyes once more, he found himself amidst a vast ocean.
In stark contrast to their tiny, palm-sized bodies, these little fish possessed immense courage.
Carefree and untroubled, they swam joyfully through the open sea.
Their tails swayed and rippled, sending layer upon layer of delicate waves outward.
A chubby-eyed little fish noticed the mermaid resting upon the red coral reef, swam straight up to her, planted a cheeky kiss right on her cheek, and then darted away into the distance.
Lu Ningshi blinked in bewildered astonishment.
I sighed inwardly. Indeed, there are truly no unwavering loyal subjects in this world. Having hurt him so deeply, why should he ever turn back to look for me? After all, he has his own circle of life. To return to Madam Pei's side and accept his destined path—that was where he truly belonged.
Ouyang Jin must have truly gone frantic with anxiety, otherwise, why would he call me without pausing for even a single second?
Although the guard did not quite understand why Xiang Ye gave such an order, he acknowledged it nonetheless, walked around to the main road, and headed toward the Imperial Guard encampment to find Jing Ao.
No one had ever doubted Qing Xiu's crescent moon staff; why, then, did this demonic beast take notice of his own crescent weapon?
By the time I finally managed to get back home, it was already the dead of night. After soothing my mother to sleep, my heart finally settled.

"The power of the Great Dao's laws! His very own domain of ice and snow!" Upon hearing Seven Kills' words, A Shou's mind suffered a violent shock. Filled with horror, he swept his divine sense outward to inspect the surrounding environment.
"Will you come tonight?" I turned my face to ask him. As our eyes met, I lost the courage to sustain the gaze and lowered my head.
Because of Huan Yu's calculated reservations, I slowly began to distance myself from Shen Yan. I no longer called him on a whim about trivial matters, though I would still irregularly invite him over for dinner at home.
Seeing that his soul power was about to vanish completely, the flying skeletal dragon cast aside its lofty pride and began to plead for mercy from Ziyang.
Beside them, Mother Yao's gaze also fell upon that bank card, her eyes holding an added touch of delight, even shimmering with a trace of tears.
"What kind of person I am is none of your business. Though you will likely lay eyes on them very shortly, there's no need to rush!" Mo Ran tilted her head up, speaking to the pair of enchanting, wicked eyes in the sky.
A wave of indescribable pain surged straight from the depths of their souls. Both he and Daoist Zhang could barely manage to maintain their flight, and plummeted down one after another.
This was a planned rotation of defense; Carlisle certainly wasn't foolish enough to lay his weaknesses right out in the open.
"What on earth are you babbling about? Since you've already confirmed she is a member of the Mo family, how could she possibly be a member of the Long family? Or could it be..." Second Master Long's gaze shifted down toward Yu Jinxiu's abdomen.
Among the group, Bai Ling and Nadia were by far the most excited. Neither of them had ever ridden a horse before, and both felt a little scared at first, so A Bai and Yue Sha had no choice but to lead them one by one.
Muran raised her camera and captured the exact moment Yi Yang picked up the basketball net to show off to his teammates. Earning the right to cut down the net was, in itself, a supreme honor.

"Quickly change into your clothes, and let everything return to the way it was before," Meiniang instructed, glancing at the darkening sky.
"The various families and sects have already reached a consensus today; they plan to forcefully break through the light barrier and force their way in!" someone replied.
Shi Nuan felt a pang of awkwardness. Although she had to admit that Song Yanwan truly understood her quite well, under the present circumstances, it was painfully clear that he had absolute mastery over everything happening inside the private dining room.
"Young lady, you've soaked my monastic robe." Cangyuan's clear, serene voice made Biluo's dazed eyes refocus once again.
The three of them were grabbed by either side and shoved into the bathhouse like dumplings dropped into boiling water. Before any of them could collect their thoughts, they were stripped stark naked in the blink of an eye by several burly men.
Xiahou and Li Li remained unconscious and unresponsive. Doctor Huowu arranged for them to be placed in the same ward, purposely positioning their beds so close together that they could easily reach out and touch one another.
"It's a good thing I made it in time! It's a good thing I made it in time." She sat before the computer, one hand clutching the mouse while the other pressed against her chest, feeling her heart pound violently. He could not fall.
With that, the severely wounded Si Yusheng erupted with surging aura, and the red bow in his hands flared with a brilliant purple light.
