Chapter 40: I Will Give You an Explanation

"I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Yu Zi, I have never lied to you. When I hid my identity back then, I had my reasons."

Xie Yuhuai was about to continue, but after glancing at the drunkard before him, he felt as if he were playing the lute to a cow. After a moment of thought, Xie Yuhuai ultimately decided to let it go.

...

"Ha~" The Abyss Bone Dragon opened its massive maw, and a plume of ash-black dragon breath erupted from within, heavy with the scent of death.

Yue Lingshan realized that she could only feed Chen Yong by using liquids. Water from the gourd could be swallowed, but wild fruits or game she caught—even if she pushed them into his mouth—elicited no chewing response.

She looked toward Yu Linglong: "To get out alive, you are the highest-ranking person in the Nine Dragon Society now, aside from Sister Hua. You must take control of the society; there are too many ambitious opportunists within, and we cannot have another Golden Dragon."

Feng Jianghai’s expression shifted between pallor and fury. Finally, he cupped his hands in a salute to Yun Kong, picked up Liu Qingqing, and retreated to his private box.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly opened her mouth wide. I felt my back moving. I remembered leaning against a statue; how could this statue be moving?

...

But now, Nan Yu'er was beginning to regret it. If she had simply killed Qingming Yu back then, these problems would never have arisen.

Before he could finish his sentence, Tao Ran suddenly noticed a few young people walking toward them in the distance, laughing loudly. These people seemed to be passing by coincidentally, but a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.

"By the way, I forgot to ask earlier—your husband, his name is Tao Ran, right? What does he do for a living?" As they chatted, Su Xuelan pretended to ask casually. She still did not want to give up the chance to see the other woman embarrass herself.

Cang Jiuyao was to be married tomorrow, so according to the rites, her title was indeed somewhat difficult to pin down.

Cao Zhen felt a wave of dizziness; his vision went black, and he nearly fainted. Yu Hai hurriedly reached out to support him.

The moment the boss finished speaking, two soft "thwip" sounds of gunfire rang out. Two red dots instantly appeared on the foreheads of the guards in the security room, and they collapsed to the ground, eyes wide open.

After Wang Hao spoke, Gu Changqing, standing to the side, felt her face flush slightly. She beamed, a joyful and charming smile appearing on her face.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The explosions were constant; one could only imagine the intensity of the carnage.

With Chi’s strength, he certainly wouldn't be the last. If the people before them were several ranks higher than Chi, wouldn't that be reaching the heavens?

"Wait, why does your conversation sound so shameful?" Tang Zeng hurriedly interrupted their dialogue. If this continued, who knew what sort of inappropriate things they might say.

...

Suddenly, the surroundings fell into a profound silence. Aside from the weak breathing of Ming Hui and the other two, not a single sound could be heard.

Feng Lin sighed helplessly. Although he was Yang Zhen, the Yang Zhen that had existed in his heart was already dead.

Yu Xu had been listening silently on the side, but at the mention of his own name, his expression changed noticeably.

It seemed Xue Ling’s reputation was simply too great. Xue Ling ignored this entirely, as if such situations were as commonplace as a daily meal for him.

"Qin Ming’s comrade-in-arms, Wan Changshan. He will be driving for him from now on," Ye Wan explained.

"Makeup isn't that much trouble; just wearing a mask will do. Adding sideburns and a beard won't take much time either," Zhao Chen added.

Looking at Lin Yun’er, who sat waiting to be fed, Lin Yuliang didn't know how to complain. He could only reach out and flick her forehead, which was so delicate it seemed a breath could break it.

"Hey, hey! Could you at least talk behind my back? I’m still standing right here!" Liu Xiuxue shouted loudly. This was bullying! Was this the way Ye Wan treated her guests as the lady of the house?
