Chapter 41: From Today On, I’m Going to Be a Clean Fatty!
Ahong's back was turned to everyone else. The others could not see Shi Yaoyao handing Ahong a bottle of water. They could only see Shi Yaoyao genuinely giving Ahong a piece of bread. After a moment, the son cradled in Ahong's arms took a deep, shuddering breath. He weakly opened his eyes, whispering, "Mom..." Just as he was about to say he wanted water, Ahong quickly covered his mouth. Ahong's water and bread had not come easily, and she knew that if others—
As soon as her footsteps stopped, Mo Yiyue noticed the distinct burnt, acrid odor of something scorched. The foul smell clearly indicated that whatever was burning must be meat.
"Who goes there! I have no idea what you're talking about. Even if we knew, we wouldn't tell you!" Hou Cangshu and the Star Sea Sect were sworn enemies, so his reply naturally carried plenty of defiance.
Yet from the perspective of the open sea, it simply appeared as though a black sphere had materialized and then dissipated across the ocean's surface.
Back in the day, Xu Buting's innate talent was not particularly impressive; reaching his current level of cultivation was entirely the result of compensating for his shortcomings through sheer diligence.
Still, being a full-time housewife felt terribly dull. Every day, watching Yun Huairu either stare at the television or cook meals seemed so monotonous.
Xi Zhicai's words were brutally straightforward. It wasn't hard to discern his meaning—he was openly distrustful of Guan Hai's competence, which was a bitter pill for the somewhat prideful Guan Hai to swallow.
The surrounding guards were momentarily stunned by the sight, then hurriedly drew their blades in a panic, encircling Zhu Hansan in the center.
Possessing a massive fortune of 5,000 points, he still chose not to resurrect his deceased family members.
At first, they thought it was all just a coincidence, but shortly after, the other party casually mentioned that the time was 11:00 PM.
They claimed their target wasn't Zhou Xiao, but Qin Mubai, and that who could have known Zhou Xiao would end up living there later on. Since Qin Mubai hadn't shown his face for so long, he must have been hiding inside this very house.
Giggling and tangling together, Su Lian was pinned down onto the sofa by him within three moves, completely unable to struggle free. Song Tianming leaned down, pressing a light kiss to the center of her brow, gentle as a butterfly kissing a flower or a dragonfly skimming the water's surface.
"You silly girl, I asked you to state your reasoning, not for me to explain it!" Bai Xue shot a direct glare at the Jade Heaven Fairy, secretly wondering if these powerful experts all possessed such low intelligence.
"Of course we'll conceal ourselves. The night before they go camping, I'll arrange for them to lie in ambush, and they'll emerge when necessary!" A strange, crafty smile bloomed across the Green Snake's face, as though brimming with absolute confidence in this operation.
Lu Qifan's gaze was tranquil, the autumn water and peach blossoms once lingering in his eyes entirely replaced by a desolate landscape of fallen petals fluttering across the sky: "I just want to see her." Jian Huan was his first love, and there was no doubt that he loved her.
Weren't they talking about selling off the Lu Corporation? Why pick it back up again? He had already driven the company into such a wretched state, yet he still refused to let go? Did he have to drag the Lu Corporation's name completely through the mud before he would finally call it quits?
She saw the previously dim light in Qiao Yunxi's eyes spring back to life. "Is this really possible?" She was terrified, afraid that she might not succeed.
Hearing Yun Yuexi's soft murmur, Ouyang Haoxuan couldn't help laughing, the vibration rumbling deep within his chest. It made Yun Yuexi feel somewhat self-conscious, yet when she pressed her ear against his chest and listened to his powerful, steady heartbeat, a profound sense of peace washed over her.
"Leader Lin, I think you've misunderstood. What I'm seeking here in Jiangnan is something else entirely. As for whether Jiangnan is about to undergo a dramatic upheaval, it is essentially none of my concern." As he spoke, Wang Yi subconsciously glanced toward Dongfang Ren.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard where Gu Yuanyue was staying, a strange scent wafted to her senses.
As for why they had managed to enter this place, it was likely just an accident. Or perhaps, as the village chief had put it, it all depended on the Sea God's whim.
The styles had been personally chosen by Ye Haoran, mostly consisting of items Ruan Ying would normally never glance at twice—not because they were too revealing, but simply because she had zero occasions where she would ever need to wear them.
