Chapter 49: I Won't Spoil Him

When Yun Zhaozhao heard the report from Yun Zi, she was utterly stunned. No wonder she had survived the palace intrigues where only one in ten lived through; a few cunning moves were enough to defeat even the most despicable men and women.

In the end, the Princess of Nan’an not only secured a massive compensation from the Duke of Qing’s household but also sent the two children of her son-in-law Cui and Miss Kong Er away to be raised by their paternal family—banished so far that they wouldn’t be seen even once a year.

On the very day Miss Kong Er entered the household as a concubine, the Princess of Nan’an...

Fang Yuxin felt deeply uneasy, sensing that something was about to happen. She wanted to find a safe place to hide first. At least if they stayed inside the house, any danger could be dealt with more easily than if they were trapped in the carriage.

The Black Market of Yinshan was a unique force; as long as you had strength, no matter who you were, you could join.

“Here, bite down hard if it hurts!” Lin Yifan, driving with one hand, extended his arm toward Natalia’s mouth.

Within his eyes, despite a lingering reluctance, he knew well that he was no match for Su Li at this moment.

Sometimes, even watching a game without participating could stir an overwhelming excitement. The mingling emotions made endings elusive, but all grand spectacles must come to a close. After all challengers had taken the stage and lost one by one, the crowd’s enthusiasm gradually faded.

With a clap of his right hand, Xu Fo placed the two-pronged hammer behind his back and met it with his palm. The elder had always been like this: if you wield a knife, so would he; if you used fists, he would too. Perhaps he was the only one who fought by such a strict code.

Sansha didn’t even glance at Lang Yi, as if the previous strike hadn’t been his at all. His eyes remained indifferent, lost in thought.

“Heh, I think it’s pretty good. No matter what, at least it grants control over a force… Brother Feng, so does that mean I’ll be your subordinate from now on?” Huowu smiled.

Hu Bing looked at Qiu Luofeng in horror, increasingly shocked by the man’s importance. The Qiu family had long been sending people to seek clues about Feng Du, but few knew the true identity of Feng Du. This was the intention of Qiu’s elders, since Feng Du was publicly a wanted criminal of the Yue family.

Quietly sitting on the hospital bench, time passed by the second, yet Nangong Han still hadn’t emerged from the room. Du Manning, worried about Ke’er, was about to leave first when a quarrel echoed from a corner.

Though it was nighttime, the street remained busy. Passersby, curious and wary, avoided the madly rushing carriage with faces full of curses and disdain. Little did they know how anxiously Du Yuesheng inside was burning with worry.

Xiao Lin was deeply grateful for the Xie family’s kindness. In daily chores, she deliberately flattered everyone, excelling not only in preparing meals, washing clothes, and cleaning but also expressing special gratitude toward the elders.

Heaven had bestowed upon her such exquisite beauty and a coveted background—why did it have to unravel? Why must she become a failure, bearing such humiliation?

A few crisp sounds rang out as sharp swords struck only Shen Feng’s body, causing the “Sea Soul Garment” to surge violently.

Yuan Qiuhua said, “Why does no one consider my feelings? Is the family mine alone? Are the children mine alone? Don’t you have any responsibility in making this life better?”

Although the “Dharma Demon Suppressing Sutra” enveloped his body in power, facing the “Heavenly Soldier” in Shen Feng’s hand, the Celestial Dance Mage still couldn’t help but feel a shiver of fear.

She felt as if the entire world had flipped upside down—why did Huo Chen ignore her? Why?

A faint smile played at the corner of his lips as he lightly approached the dining table, gazing at her.

Liu Chen’s mind became infinitely clear, as if he was back in the woods. The faint sound of water whispered by his ears, gradually fading until even the water’s murmur disappeared, as if he had stepped into another realm.
