Seeing Tang Yichen carrying Qin Huiyin on his back, Tang Yixiao trotted over and asked with concern, "What happened?"
"I twisted my ankle, but it's fine now. Eldest Brother was just worried it would hurt to walk, so he carried me back," Qin Huiyin said.
"Are you really all right?" Tang Yixiao asked.
"Really, I'm fine," Qin Huiyin smiled. "Eldest Brother, put me down. I'll walk a few steps to show Little Brother."
"Don't fuss, just rest for a moment first!" Tang
Thinking of Xiao Yichen, a wave of warmth washed over Shui Lingyue. She knew in her heart that given Xiao Yichen's personality, he would never give up on her; he would definitely find every possible way to rescue her.
Rolling backward across the floor, Xi Jiu quickly stabilized his body. In the next second, he dropped to one knee, ignoring the sharp pain in his cheek, and raised his gun with both hands aimed at Roche by the door.
Mindful of Shui Lingyue's reputation, Xiao Yichen naturally could not reveal the truth that Shui Lingyue had bitten the killer on the neck.

After taking a quiet cold shower, Wang Chen emerged from the bathroom. As he wiped his wet hair, he opened the room door and went downstairs.

Watching Madam Liu weep like a broken-hearted person, Pei Jingran sighed. She wanted to comfort Madam Liu, but when she opened her mouth, not a single word came out.
Shen Peiyun gave Wang Si a thorough physical checkup. Only after confirming there were no injuries did she finally set her mind at ease, quietly staying by Wang Si's side.
Jin Feng's face was covered in dust, mixed with blood oozing from cuts made by sharp stones on his skin, making his features almost unrecognizable.
Over the past two years, the Gu family appeared glorious on the surface, but in reality, each year was worse than the last. Especially recently, multiple business ventures of the Gu family had suffered setbacks, pushing the household into a state where expenses outstripped income. If things continued this way, the whole family would likely starve to death.
Qi Tian had removed the feature allowing regular monsters to drop equipment, though this applied only to equipment; other items such as currency or seeds of the Cordate Hemostatic Herb could still temporarily be dropped. Furthermore, the cancellation applied only to ordinary monsters, while elite and boss-tier monsters could still drop equipment.
The North Sea Naval Branch provoked again, their shouts drowning out the voices of the East Sea Navy. The two sides clashed once more, and the air grew even thicker with the smell of gunpowder.
"I also think this outfit is so ugly. I heard that today's update added many pretty clothes to the boutique, and I was planning to go in and buy one, but there are so many people inside," Liu Yaqian said with distress.
Having just heard that Jia Jing had tried to stop Meng Shujian from taking Jia Yutang out, and now learning that Meng Shujian intended to use Jia Jing as bait, he couldn't help but suspect that Meng Shujian harbored alternative motives.
Whenever he thought of this, Liu Pan always felt immensely annoyed, ultimately having to let the matter rest unresolved. In truth, Liu Pan had no choice but to let it rest, for he lacked the capability to investigate his own ancestry. He was still not strong enough; if he were to return to the Liu clan now, the Second Elder would certainly make him die a miserable death.
