Volume One, Chapter 106: In that instant, Su Le, you seemed truly like a stranger.

Yao Yao, what is it?

Did you run into an acquaintance?

Xu Zhou asked in puzzlement.

Lu Yaoyao only nodded. At first she had thought that if she did not pay attention to Su Le, she would feel a little better inside.

But she still could not help stealing glances.

Especially now, Su Le seemed to be flourishing, with beauty always at his side.

What struck her even more was that even a woman of such immense stature, a figure on the level of a heavenly diva, was circling around Su Le.

It left her deeply unbalanced.

It was as though, after the divorce, Su Le had been unshackled.

He seemed to be growing ever more prosperous and content by the day.

Was she really so worthless?

The more she could not make sense of it, the more twisted she felt inside, until at last she could no longer restrain herself and rose to her feet.

After we go to the Yang River, we will no longer be able to receive the family allowance. With only your salary, we will not be able to buy much.

Lu Qingyi knew what she was doing and felt that if they brought everything they needed, they could spend less money once they arrived.

Xiao Zan was no match for Jin Wancheng. He was instantly sent staggering backward by the force of the blow. With a dull crash, he fell to the ground and could no longer move. Seeing that he was injured, Mo Sanwei hurried forward to treat him, and there was no need to speak of the rest.

Shangguan Yun swung his sword and kept cutting, shattering each roof tile into fragments. When Zheng Tiandu’s longsword reached before his eyes, he changed his sword technique, intent on sealing off the incoming force.

No matter what had happened to Jing Yang, it no longer had anything to do with her. Why should she still worry about Jing Yang’s parents?

The palace hall had long since fallen silent. After an unknown length of time, footsteps sounded above. He opened his eyes and saw a man enter, clad in a black dragon robe embroidered in many colors.

"Send the bride and groom to the bridal chamber!"

The master of ceremonies called out, and Zhu Fugui led the red and green ribbons out of the main hall.

In the end, Jian Lixing returned the photograph to Jian Yiyang. The two brothers sat for a while, neither saying a word, the silence stretching between them.

This was nothing like Long Jianfei’s usual behavior. Yet only Lu Dong could see clearly. Though it was his first time coming into contact with Long Jianfei, he could tell this man was no ordinary person. This matter would not end so easily.

Today, after receiving a phone call, Li Moran left in a hurry. Ye Xiaomei kept feeling that something was wrong, so she quietly followed behind her.

The prison gates slowly opened, and Li Jing stepped out from inside, pulling a suitcase. Straight ahead, a blinding glare of light struck her so that she could not open her eyes.

That explanation did make sense, so Xiao Lingxiao did not ask any further. Instead, she summoned the divine wolf through a hidden sound.

Liu Qianyan and Ziling exchanged a glance. Though they had spoken only one sentence since meeting, they nevertheless felt an unexpected closeness.

Because of this, after their military service, they were often able to receive a great deal of help from their comrades in the struggle along the path of official advancement.

Moon, I do not have much time left. You know the consequences of the soul leaving the body. Do not keep doing meaningless things. It is useless.

Without giving the other side any chance to react, the crystal staff shimmered with a deep blue radiance.

Qiu Hui and Mei’er, you will come back with us now.

Jiaoyu thought it over and over. This was the best arrangement.

Feihu laughed playfully. “Hunger and desire are only human nature. Who told you to make yourself so irresistible?” As he spoke, his hand unconsciously reached toward the sausage in Fatty Girl’s hand.

Qin Jue also smiled and nodded. “As expected, we are very much in sync.” She felt wonderfully sweet; love really was beautiful.

When Ma Yuan gave them the money, he did not think much of it. He figured that since the two of them were capable people and had trained under him for so long, they surely would not go back to starving and stealing chickens as before.

“My lord, you are too kind. I simply caught a chill last night and did not sleep well.” Qingfeng lowered her head and said softly. For the first time, she lied to Jun Shenuo. She had been sleepless the previous night, though not because of the east wind after nightfall.

Yan Muqing looked down and saw arrows raining down from the city gate like raindrops. The soldiers below all waved the longswords in their hands, knocking the arrow storm aside.

“Good that you know. But since the joint military justice tribunal has already punished him, I do not wish to pursue it further. You will go to the military court yourself,” Old Morgan said, waving Kelso away.

After the copy had been transferred over, Su Junhua had no trouble understanding or reading it. He simply could not speak it; in other words, he had not yet trained the international oral muscles needed to pronounce a foreign language.

The potted plant dodged nimbly aside. A giant pitcher plant’s gaping maw crushed the pebbles on the ground, then lunged at her again, biting furiously.

In the past, he had thought himself not so pitiable. Even without a mother’s love, at least his father cared about him.

Yet Qin Yibai vaguely felt that some mysterious power had begun nurturing the acupoints within his body. When he probed with divine sense, however, he found nothing at all, which left him somewhat puzzled. What he did not know was that this mysterious power was the force of the boundless stars, which had resonated with every acupoint in his body the night before.

This illusion is too real, so real that I cannot see the slightest flaw in it.

Looking at the flickering radiance of sun, moon, and stars, Zhang Bairen let out a faint sigh.

Ouyang Xue gave me a light smile. I thought she had finished speaking, but I never expected what came next to nearly leave me breathless.

Lin Xiaoyue never appeared from beginning to end. When Shen Liping was taken away, her eyes swept across the gallery seats, and in the end she lowered her gaze in loneliness. In just a few days, she had aged a great deal.

If nothing unexpected happened, Lord Mountain did not need to worry at all about waking up to the crisis of starving to death.

As for everything before his eyes, Li Hao no longer cared at all. The tense battle was over, and now it was merely a matter of watching the show. He knew that what came next was the moment for the Godslayer Legion to play its part.

“Father Emperor, didn’t you say you would choose a husband for me? Now I know who I want my husband to be.” Dong Mulin came to the side of the Eastern Emperor, excitedly tugging at his sleeve and happily voicing the thoughts in her heart.

“Hey—cough, cough, cough, cough—don’t act recklessly!” Shen Chunhua was clearly short of breath, but at least she was still conscious. Seeing Zhou Chu already stripping off Li Jizhu’s outer garment and revealing the black bandeau beneath, she could not help but cry out in alarm.
