Settling Accounts After the Fall

However, Chen Anquan had unexpectedly created a distance between them, something Yin Miaomiao had never anticipated!

Could it be that his local girlfriend Juanjuan had warned him?

Or was his out-of-town girlfriend Zhao Xuan keeping an eye on him?

"I'm going to take a shower first!" Chen Anquan withdrew his hand and turned toward the bathroom.

Yin Miaomiao watched his receding figure, her gaze drifting. She bit her lower lip slightly, and a bitter taste welled up in her heart.

Deep inside, she thought—

"Here it comes." Gao Fei reached out to turn off the recorder, locked the drawer, and then stood up to follow him downstairs.

In fact, waiting for Li Qing to awaken was not just it, but also You Yun, who had forced her way through from another space, and Jiang Fei, whom You Yun had awakened.

Shangguan Ping'er poured a cup of hangover tea for Huangfu Xu, shook her head helplessly, and said that while she was satisfied with everything about her fiancé, his thoughts were simply too unfathomable, which she somewhat disliked.

However, insufficient energy naturally called for methods to make up for it. Moreover, if they relied on the Chixin Divine Armor for spatial jumps and maintained a continuous flight status, the locator would inevitably remain activated the entire time. The target would be far too obvious, and they would likely be intercepted by the people of the Yuanlan Empire before even reaching Juntian Star.

Sophia looked at Isabella, who was sleeping in Xu Qing's arms, and wanted to take her over, but Xu Qing gently shook his head. It was best if he held her; handing her to Sophia might wake her up.

Just as Xu Qing was browsing posts on the Future community out of boredom, Eben and the head of the investigation team pushed open the door to his office and walked in hurriedly.

As time passed, the countless fierce ghosts across the mountains gradually became transparent and then turned to ashes.

Dyna opened a wormhole passage and, together with Daram and Hitra, took the Pendragon away from the Land of Light. After their departure, Taro and the others turned their attention to Xiao Long, this mysterious and powerful Earthling.

As for the subsequent one hundred thousand sticks of incense, Fang Zheng didn't even dare to think about it. Unless he kidnapped the entire human race, there was simply no chance.

Two choices now lay before Zhang Guodong: the first was to strike decisively, taking advantage of the Japanese troops' unsteady footing to capture Jiulizhuang in one fell swoop; the second was to wait for the reinforcement troops to arrive, then concentrate forces and firepower to capture Jiulizhuang.

Hui Zhi sighed. Although the Silver Mask's actions were not particularly honorable, without the greed of those people, how could this play have gone on?

"It's just a pity that I fell short by a single move. I never expected they wouldn't even give me three days. It's the will of heaven..." Shuangzhi also smiled, hooking a strand of fine hair from his shoulder with one hand and gently smoothing it.

Shortly after, Wu Tingfang arrived at Jurentang, bringing along two professional legal assistants. One was named Zhang Zongxiang, and the other was named Lu Zongyu. Both were students who had pursued advanced studies in Japan and were now the right-hand men of Justice Minister Wu Tingfang, known as the "Two Masters of the Ministry of Law."

Lan Xingxin was Lan Qingqing's younger sister and often helped her handle matters on ordinary days. However, Lan Xingxin's temperament was very gentle, and she lacked a strong sense of initiative, possessing little adaptability when encountering unexpected situations.

Xinglian raised her head and cast a tangled look at him, genuinely unsure of how to describe this kind of discomfort.

At this moment, he showed none of the disarray from the day he was thwarted by Ling Feng. He was still clad in a blue robe, carrying himself with an untethered grace, resembling a deity descending upon the winds.

She sighed and actually shot a "you're so lucky" look at Yu Ye. Although a different soul now inhabited this body, and while she remembered clearly and felt a lingering sense of indignation, Xinglian could not truly empathize with it entirely.

Under the bright moonlight of the void, everything was wrapped in serene stillness, accompanied by a faint, crisp fragrance of pollen. The scenery here was uniquely beautiful. Yet it felt like a place from a dream—exquisite and delicate to a fault, but completely devoid of human warmth.

Of course, Yun Duoduo was not entirely useless. If there was anything she could genuinely presentable, it was only her medical skills. To be more precise, her skill in poisons was even better than her skill in medicine. Naturally, he knew why his younger sister only professed to understand medicine.
