37. “I’ve even picked out where to bury you.”

The eldest child wore a look of utter despair. He leaned silently against Lin Zhao’s chest, tears like golden beans rolling down his cheeks as he sniffled.

“I wanted to make money to buy Mother a beautiful dress, but there’s no chance now. I won’t ever grow tall enough to reach the counter.”

The little boy looked up at his mother, pleading, and said miserably, “Mother, when I die, can you bury me in our courtyard? I want to watch over you forever...”

In such a short time, he had even decided where he wanted to be buried.

Hearing his brother, Uncle Lin, standing nearby, felt a sense of shock. He was stunned by the nature of his relationship with the Mi family. He had never imagined that their connection had grown so intimate. Given the favor he had done in saving them, how could the Mi family ever refuse him if he needed their help in the future?

Whether man or beast, one easily loses their reason under the influence of extreme rage; this was the only way she could lure the water-ghost beast out of the water.

Hearing Xu Huang’s words, the soldier from Chenliu named Gouzi was overwhelmed with joy. He quickly knelt before Xu Huang, thanking him repeatedly, and then proceeded to tell Xu Huang about the situation back at his home.

This was the latest human-computer interaction achievement released by the Institute of Biophysics before the new year; those folks in bioengineering had truly given it their all. For decades, they had been committed to developing high-throughput platforms to reduce repetitive experiments, finally liberating the field of biology from the drudgery of heavy manual labor.

Before Liu Ye could ask, Yu Du pointed at a remnant of the Yellow Turbans kneeling before him and explained to Liu Ye.

“Dragged away by a wild beast?” The speaker was a boy wearing a hat, who was also the leader of a group.

Since an agreement had been reached, even though Shangguan Tu resented Da Bai, he could only feign indifference and provide them with food and drink. However, his attitude toward them was worlds apart from before.

“Ah, it’s true that I came up with it, but due to time constraints, I didn’t consider many aspects thoroughly. Still, heaven was kind, and Dong Zhuo’s army finally chose to retreat. Mr. Jia Xu is one of Dong Zhuo’s men; for my plan to succeed, I must have had your help, sir. For this, I thank you in advance.”

He bowed his head and kissed her chapped lips gently, wanting to moisten them, but he pulled away after just a brief touch.

The two families had already communicated, and although the Second Madam Bai still wanted to have a look, everyone knew it was merely a formality.

A black line crossed his forehead. He always insisted on this form of address, and I always liked to call him by his full name because I felt that saying those three characters gave me a sense of peace.

“I don’t know, I’ll have to go see tomorrow!” Jiang Yufei took her ID card and tucked it happily into her wallet, a flash of deep cunning in her eyes.

Therefore, he wanted to take me to this faraway place to quietly gaze upon that illusory city. At the same time, as he remembered everything and was no longer the simple, naive person he had been before, he could no longer suppress his feelings; he only wanted to be alone with me immediately.

With such a major incident happening this time, Wen Tang already found it suspicious that Xi Yun hadn’t stepped forward to offer an explanation.

Chu Xijing looked at her deeply, his gaze profound and focused. Watching the clean, crystalline smile on that beautiful, delicate face, his breathing seemed to lengthen. By the time Mo Shuixin noticed him, he had already composed himself.

Shen Wanyue didn’t care about any of that. After returning to the hospital, she checked her over thoroughly and only felt relieved when she saw there were no issues. Thinking back to how she had collapsed in the snow outside, she couldn’t help but press her for what exactly had happened.

“A bunch of lunatics.” The police stopped wasting their breath on the four of us and shoved us into the police car.

This premonition kept my nerves taut, even though I was sitting lazily on the sofa.

Because this giant dog, which I had described as a massive creature, was simply the largest and strongest beast I had seen since the apocalypse began.

Sneering at the two of them, he immediately raised his fist, which shimmered with a dark golden light, and struck the two members of the Mo family down. Those two poor souls hadn't even had time to react before they collapsed into a pool of blood, their fate unknown.
