Chapter 47: A Quiet and Sensible Background Board

“Yu Zi, being with you is when I am truly myself.”

“Back then, I honestly never imagined that my junior would fall for me. She always kept a proper distance from me, and you were on good terms with her, so I thought I was merely helping her out. I never imagined that, by helping her, I would lose you.”

“Yu Zi, forgive me…”

Mu Chuchen’s pupils contracted sharply, as if some keen pain had thrust out from his heart and spread through him.

In other words, the imitation of the Ring of Devotion that Air had just burned contained no drug capable of triggering Mu Chuchen’s poison.

“Don’t look at me like that. I don’t care in the slightest whether you hate me,” Wang Yansi said.

She found it strange. It was odd enough for the deputy director to come to a place like this; more importantly, he had even changed his license plate.

Having lost their ability to reproduce with age and now waiting for death to arrive, they were among the few members of the Blood Clan who had escaped persecution during the upheaval caused by the Dark Divine Artifact.

“You’re right. I was the one who dragged Yingyue into this. Perhaps I should never have simply walked away back then!” Tianchou replied.

The Flower God Contract was an everlasting pact. That was why Ye Lingling was in no hurry, nor would she change her mind. She could wait forever.

Unlike several other Sibia gods, who preferred to solve matters through brute force, the great goddess Angela was a symbol of wisdom. Though she was by no means inferior in a direct confrontation, she truly preferred to rely on her intelligence.

Neither Jiang Nian herself nor the older brothers in her family ever told Elder Ji about anything unpleasant, fearing that it might affect his mood.

The first three options were terrifying. They would certainly be more painful than death. The Four Demons of Fengchen could hardly imagine what sort of torment they would suffer if they chose any one of options A, B, or C.

Even so, everything they had done had been funded by the wealth earned through the Qingfeng Trading Company. They had not extorted so much as a penny from the common people.

The bedsheet beside her was perfectly smooth. It appeared that…the man had not slept in the master bedroom the previous night.

“That’s more like it. Don’t play tricks on your father again, understand?” Ye Huan scolded.

He could clearly sense that Nian Bai was not particularly friendly toward him. Was this meal going to be a Hongmen banquet?

Lin Ting glanced curiously at Lu Li and Yang Zuo. She was not very familiar with either of them, so she simply ate her breakfast in silence.

Gu Shinan was afraid that taking Qin Miaoren alone to the jewelry auction would invite gossip or land them on the front page of the news. If word reached Elder Gu and displeased him, there would be trouble. That was why he had brought her along as Mrs. Gu, using her presence to conceal their true relationship.

Even a tiger would not devour its cubs. Gu Changyong could never deliberately run over his own child, even if that child were illegitimate.

It was not only the Divine Wind Sect. There were at least thirty major forces gathered in the sky above Rock Mountain City, and Mo Ning had offended nearly all of them. Furious roars erupted from every faction.

Besides them, there was one person who understood the truth of the matter better than anyone else: the Blood Sea God, Styx. Kunpeng had persuaded him with reason and emotion to leave seclusion and ambush Hongyun, yet in the end, Styx had gained nothing either. Naturally, he was deeply dissatisfied. Ever since returning to the Blood Sea, Styx had been meditating in closed-door seclusion, refusing to emerge.

He was the one who disliked Chang Yishan, yet he had dragged Snell in to take the blame. He even spoke with such righteous conviction, as though he were genuinely standing up for Snell.

The Cosmic King received Tyrannical Universe’s report and was utterly shocked. He hurried to Earth Village with Tyrannical Universe and Mad Eight Thousand. Sneaking around, they opened the Ant Tomb and rescued Earthshaking Fox. Then they rebuilt her once more through the three-in-one fusion, which could be considered a successful rescue of her life, before sending her back to the Whale.

When Xiao Zheng arrived at the restaurant, he was immediately stunned by the food covering the dining table. A quick count revealed more than thirty dishes. Every one of them was genuine and substantial, without the slightest trace of deception. Even the dining table was astonishingly large, stretching more than seven or eight meters in length.
