Volume 1, Chapter 22: She Just Wants Me to Be Jealous!

Gu Nanfeng returned to the private room shortly after stepping out, though his expression appeared somewhat strange.

At that moment, Fu Yanzhou was selecting a gift for Jinxing alongside Song Jinhe. Gu Nanfeng walked over and gave a light cough. "Yanzhou, come here for a moment; there is something I need to tell you."

Fu Yanzhou glanced at Gu Nanfeng, then turned to Song Jinhe and said, "Whatever you choose, Jinxing will like it."

Song Jinhe smiled. "Then I shall pick it out myself. You two go ahead and talk." With that, she left.

As Gu Nanfeng stood beside Fu Yanzhou, he struggled with how to begin. His hesitant, fidgety demeanor was more than Fu Yanzhou could bear. "Out with it! Is it that Lin Zhiwan refuses to leave..."

Peering left and right to ensure Master Wulin was nowhere nearby, she crept toward the Buddha statue.

On the other end of the line, the executive seemed to be prattling on about how one shouldn't forget old friends after becoming in-laws with the Pei Group. She understood Master Du’s schemes clearly; in these past few days, he had likely learned of the Gu family’s standing in the capital from the Seventh Master’s associates.

The doors and windows were bolted from the inside. The seawater surged, forming a foam-like barrier that shimmered with iridescent colors under the sun.

That afternoon, Guan Shouzhong and his companions arrived at the side courtyard of Dragon Walks the World, only to find that Chen Daming was nowhere to be found. Although he had been brimming with ambition and fearlessness before arriving, he felt a twinge of dread now that he was truly deep within enemy territory.

In the end, it was unclear whether it was a fear that the Meng family might make a poor decision regarding He Yan’s marriage, or some other reason, that prompted this final wish.

After the audience was left dazed, Fu Xinjie’s subsequent words invaded their minds like an imperial decree.

Most news regarding Zhong Sihuai focused on his meritorious service; there was little personal information, as he was a military man, and the press dared not delve too deeply into his private affairs.

You being directionally challenged is one thing, but to be so pleased with yourself about it—it is enough to make one want to spit blood.

Yun Xi leaned languidly against the sofa back, her gaze toward her remaining gentle, with a hint of comfort upon closer inspection. However, as long as her Primordial Ancestor power could entangle their path, it would at least buy everyone time to escape.

Pan Weiliang felt a sharp, recurring pain in her heart. She clenched her hands into fists so tightly that they nearly bled.

"Because, in addition to the Law of Time, I also understand the Law of Death." Chen Hai reached out, and several orbs of law-based light appeared at his fingertips.

Feng Jinlin’s diva behavior at the forest park had been captured without obstruction by several passersby, who uploaded the footage directly to Weibo.

The Jiang Ziya lineup was originally an early-game composition, bolstered by lane-dominant heroes like Cheng Yaojin and Dian Wei. However, due to Lan Xueyun’s malicious interference, the match had been dragged out.

They knew that the facade was completely shattered now; there was no need for mercy, so they simply voiced their most unfiltered thoughts.

Wanqi Linjue had returned to the set for reshoots, Mu Zhiqing had gone to work, and Bai Luoke was off to claim the shares transferred by the Li family. Bai Luoli was left completely idle, accompanied in the hospital room only by his assistant, Wang Xin, as even Ren Yingying had been whisked away by Bai Luoke under the guise of official business.

"You’re awake?" The giant lizard was extremely reluctant, but as the guardian of this place, he had no choice but to speak.

"Listen, Uncle Lin, please rest assured, I have... absolutely no improper intentions toward you..." Jing Yuchen looked at the person on the video call with a face full of dark lines, his lips twitching as he found the words difficult to utter.

Jiang Yi killed Hong Wuji and his son, devoured everything, and regained control of the Li Fire Sword and the King’s Sealing Talisman, his momentum reaching a peak.

In truth, the clever Zheng Wushuang had sensed it for a long time. He was waiting for that earth-shattering moment. Who would be the one to take that step? In this most relaxed of times, this most intoxicating moment?

Cupping her chin, Ji Ran gently wrapped his arms around her from behind. He said, "Someone told me that when comforting someone, a simple hug is more effective than many words."

An Yutong placed the coffee on Qin Leng’s desk, praying that this man wouldn't come up with any more bizarre ways to torture her.

However, one did not need a bottle of Life Spring water every time they entered Black Snake City, as those who had just entered already possessed transit tokens, appearing to be frequent visitors.

Tang Yun fell silent. She had indeed said that. Was there any secret-keeper in the world more reliable than a corpse? But... wouldn't it be more appropriate to find a strong, able-bodied young man for this kind of manual labor?

For many years, whether in joy or sorrow, the old man’s letters had arrived every month without fail. Helian Tao paced anxiously in the mansion, while Scholar Hong stood to the side, arms tucked in his sleeves, staring blankly toward the north with a chill creeping into his heart. Jia San slipped in from outside, shivering with cold; before he could catch his breath, he held up a letter.

Tang Yun had never seen such an expression on Lezheng Rongxiu’s face. Instinctively, she felt there was a significant story behind it.

The rotating hot air currents rushing from the ground into the sky formed a powerful, turbine-like convective wind. Buffeted by the currents, the giant bomber pitched and swayed like a sheet of paper, proof enough of the terrifying energy burning on the ground.

With a flash of movement, Bai Yi appeared where the space had collapsed. The Dimensional Heavenly Wood swayed, calming the violent spatial forces and allowing Bai Yi to remain unscathed within the spatial storm—a feat difficult for others to achieve.

Furious, Lu Mingxuan didn't bother to lower her voice. By that time, the Eldest Madam Lu had finished speaking with the Old Madam and had already left with the Eldest Young Mistress, so every word Lu Mingxuan spoke was heard by everyone in the room.

In reality, Wang Chuan Ke had never known how to cook at first. After observing a few times, Su Yanchi realized that her understanding of the kitchen was even worse than his own; back then, they had basically survived on takeout for all their meals.
