Love at First Sight Chapter 109 Just Good Friends?

Inside and outside the City God Temple, festive joy hung thick in the air, and people were still coming and going as usual.
Only here, in their small circle, the atmosphere was heavy and tense. Glances from passing tourists occasionally fell upon them, yet everyone was too busy celebrating to pay much heed to anything happening there.

The four of them stood there in a standoff, while Liu Yi kept his distance, watching Zunyou’s every movement. At that moment he did not know what had happened, only that from far away he could see their expressions were wrong, and he feared Zunyou might be furious over something.

Only after Chen Zhenglong had left did Qi Zhen and Chen Qingguo finally realize they had made such a ridiculous mistake, and both of them could not help but let out a helpless laugh.

Wu Ming’s eyes flashed gold as he watched handsome Xingnai; a warrior of a devouring attribute was a rare sight indeed.

Though Bai Sha’s face wore a carefree smile, his blows were brutally merciless. He seized Huang Rizhao by the head and slammed him into the ground, one, two, three, four… more than a dozen hard thuds, each making blood spring from Huang Rizhao’s forehead.

Yueji’s face fell as if struck. She pouted and drew her body away from Bai Sha. At last seeing this, Bai Sha breathed a sigh of relief. After all, before such a perfect body, to show not the slightest reaction was impossible—but fortunately his self-restraint was strong.

The question truly left the three of them speechless. Coming up the mountain, they had not sensed even a trace of this temple. If one did not possess tremendous power, it would be impossible to hide an entire temple so completely and remain unnoticed.

Hearing the faint crackling explosions drifting from outside the window, the old man with jet-black hair and beard slapped the table hard and stared them down.

“I’m sorry. I said what should not have been said.” Seeing that all three looked displeased, Dingdang realized at once she had asked the wrong question and panicked out an apology.

Everyone who saw this scene stood stunned, as if turned to stone, unmoving. Huang Rizhao, who should have been the honored man of the day, was forced down to his knees. It was such a ridiculous, ironic, and uncanny sight.

With a dull groan, Natexin’s eyes rolled back and he fainted, a strip of red foam gathering at his mouth.

Tianya inhaled deeply, gripped the Demon-Subduing Staff, and went toward the source of the scent, to the kitchen on the first floor—the one place she had not checked.

What a jest, that fissure. Just stepping onto it and glancing down was enough to make one tremble; as it widened with depth, it became a world with no light at all, an illusion of a void of terror like abyssal hell.

He set his duties aside for the time being and stayed by Yifei Shi’s side with all his attention, making sure her emotions stayed steady.

Liuli and Qiuyue knotted their brows and searched for an answer. After a while, Liuli’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Take your dirty hands away.” The youth’s brows were narrow and sharp. When they fixed on someone, they seemed to echo the shadow of the Duke of Yan, and no thought of resistance or defiance could easily rise.

Some provinces had this system, some did not. Jiangnan and Huguang did, for those lands were Da Chang’s major grain-producing provinces. As for disaster-prone regions, such as flood-struck Henan near the Yellow River, where nine out of ten years brought flood, there were also Grain Superintendencies, mainly to coordinate the whole province’s grain for emergencies.

That is why guarding the city gates at night is now an easy task; when the time comes to close them, no one can simply refuse after receiving the command from above.

Qin Fengyi did not know that Empress Dowager Pei privately appraised him in such a way: “To love is enough to bring harm.” Had Qin Fengyi heard it, he would truly have laughed coldly. What? The Son of Heaven is kind to him, yet harms him?

Then, after clearly seeing that it was indeed Ye Youyao holding Su Jinxī’s hand, and not Su Jinxī climbing the pole, her face grew even more pained.

Wei Meijia, reckless of all consequences, tried to force Ye Youyao down on top of Su Jinxī, but Ye Youyao did not pay her any attention.
