097 Delivering Provisions in the Dead of Night (Fifth Installment)

Chen Juanjuan was right behind him. He turned around to look, only to find her sitting on the wooden threshold, waiting for him to finish his call.

"Brother, it’s not that I want to lecture you, but why are you wasting such an opportunity? She’s already taken the initiative to come to your home, cooking for you and cleaning up after your meals—you should seize the moment and make your move!"

"Brother, there's no need to be in such a rush, is there?"

"Ugh, you don't understand anything. Let me tell you, this woman..."

"Hmm! Reality is indeed that way. Except for the rare spiritual energy found deep in the mountains and forests, it is almost non-existent elsewhere," Situ Xuan said, speaking the truth.

At this moment, the warship had landed, and everyone had stepped out of the cabin, greeted by the fresh air.

However, for some inexplicable reason, Alan could not bring himself to be happy. This only made him more certain that Alisa’s unusual mood today was because of him. Yet, no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't figure out what he had done to upset her.

For some reason, the pressure was quite peculiar; it didn't feel like a threat at all, but rather something that commanded involuntary reverence.

Inside the restaurant, every corner was filled with the happiness of people enjoying good food, with friends clinking glasses and toasting one another.

"Mayor Qian, I never expected a visit from a leader; welcome, truly welcome." It was clear that Zhang Yeshan was well-versed in the ways of officialdom, acting with enthusiastic warmth upon seeing his direct superior.

In the early hours, a red sun began to ascend from the coastline, bit by bit, illuminating the East.

"Are Edward and Margaret, the siblings, also your followers?" This thought suddenly crossed Li Muye’s mind, and he blurted out the question.

Throughout the entire dinner, Alisa chatted happily with Riel. Riel described everything he had seen in the city of Krivari with such vivid detail that he didn't stop for a single moment. Alisa laughed continuously the whole time, ignoring Alan completely, only sparing him an occasional glance.

"That won't do either; I don't want to do anything that draws attention," Lan Rongyue objected, unaware that their actions were already drawing plenty of it.

"Meng Zhi, are you alright?" Lin Fan and Yunsheng were deeply concerned about his injuries, but they were helpless, as they had to hold off the Ice Fox’s assault. If they were even slightly careless, the defensive line they had struggled to secure would be instantly shattered, and in the end, they would likely all perish under the creature's claws.

His appearance was quite handsome, but the standardized smile on his face made it impossible to feel any closeness, leaving one with a sense of hypocrisy instead.

"This servant is indeed a bit slow-witted; please forgive me, Your Highness." Linglu couldn't figure it out, so she had no choice but to obediently admit her dullness.

When the group arrived at the embroidery workshop, Xiuxin had just woken up and was washing and dressing. She was clearly displeased by his sudden intrusion into her private quarters.

It was the first time Yun Hao had seen Yan Canglan act so nagging, and he almost thought he was seeing a different person.

"Then let’s go; my father has been waiting inside for quite some time," Chen Lei said with a chuckle, signaling for Mu Yi to follow him before taking the lead.

If he had known that Nalan Ying had provoked such a terrifyingly powerful enemy, would he have come here to throw his life away?

Wu Jie stood guard at the checkout counter, barely able to keep up with all the photo requests, and in the process, he couldn't help but harvest a wave of envy and jealousy energy points.

"Alright, alright, I know. I’ll move aside so you can see," I said, waving my hands and shifting my body away from the crack.

"I... I understand now!" Answering Xie Muyun with a stutter, Tie Muyun was filled with endless regret. Had he known things would turn out like this, he would have been better off staying trapped in that mysterious room.

Ye Yaoqiao was stunned by Han Shaoxun’s sudden kiss. It took her a moment to react, and then she sprang from his lap, too afraid to meet the gazes of those around her, and ran off as if fleeing.

"You don't need my help?" Manjusaka looked at us with deep meaning, the smile curling at the corners of her lips quite intriguing.
