Volume 1, Chapter 59: Seriously Deranged

Shen Zhao's breath hitched slightly.

She remained silent.

Given the ungentlemanly agreement she had struck with Chen Yuan, she had indeed deceived Zhou Huaiyu.

Yet everything at the Yun Mansion had gone smoothly before, and now he was suddenly accusing her of deception.

Could it be that Chen Yuan's side had slipped up and been discovered by Zhou Huaiyu?

Shen Zhao pondered in silence.

Her lack of response, in Zhou Huaiyu's eyes, was naturally no different from a tacit admission.

Yue Kongling was even more bewildered. Di Xiaoyun had previously used the Fiend Dragon Bone Sword in front of her, but he had never openly used it to devour life; he had merely utilized its might to instantly slay enemies in battle, which was why it had not attracted her attention.

"You don't know her?!" The black bear looked at Li Chen in astonishment, completely disbelieving this claim.

After the meal, Ye Mo assigned them rooms to rest for a while, and the two young lasses, full of spirit, pulled Ye Mo along to accompany Yangyang's mother shopping.

"This is an exceptionally fine sparkling wine, easily rivaling famous French champagne brands." Weiss's knowledge of wine was much like Ye Mo's—merely superficial, incapable of breaking it down point by point—and this remark was purely based on intuition. Still, he felt this was already a remarkably high praise.

Knowing full well that this was a verbal assault by the Sunset God-Kings meant to break their fighting resolve, Elder Kong's demise was nonetheless a heavy blow that left one breathless.

Had someone with an extremely overbearing temperament been in his place, they would likely have harbored resentment. Ye Jier was naturally not endowed with such an assertive personality, and his birth mother's death likely instilled a sense of dread in him. With no perceptive elders around to care for him—and although there were tutors, nannies, and wet nurses, they were ultimately not blood relatives—it was hardly surprising that his personality turned out this way.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a while longer, yet still failed to figure out what kind of activities Ye Feng and the other person were up to on the beach.

With the conclusion of the spring sowing, all the quality issues regarding the farm tools manufactured by Carthage were exposed at once. Merchants immediately canceled a large volume of orders, and some even hauled the merchandise back, blocking the entrance to demand refunds.

"Hah, that sounds awfully impressive." Wei Qingqing looked thoughtfully at the credentials in Xintian's hand.

Wang Xifeng found this arrangement entirely appropriate and, after repeatedly confirming that Yinglian did not find it troublesome, left her to it.

Xing Shuang knew her husband's temper; if she were to contradict him at this moment, he certainly wouldn't listen. Therefore, she didn't say much and simply steered the conversation toward Zhen Shiyin's upcoming entry into the estate on the morrow.

Ye Feng smiled as he entered the auditorium, cast a casual glance across the room, and saw that it was much like the previous day—a sea of heads, with people packed throughout the entire auditorium.

Before he could fully comprehend it, Jiuya's attack struck once more, yet Murong Qi could sense that the other's aura had already begun to destabilize.

At this moment, a rather hot-tempered senior brother from the Tianshan Sect felt a stifling anger in his chest and directly slammed down the wine cup in his hand. He was simply furious and wanted to vent.

Subsequently, the maternal organism seemed to be trapped in a sea of mud, its speed turning exceedingly sluggish, while the Star-Origin Insects continually compressed its living space.

At that very instant, Yan Xiaoxi intensely felt Leng Xi's innocence and helplessness. If she still held resentment in her heart prior to this, then right now... she truly had nothing more to say.

As for the eldest brother's wife, she genuinely upheld the virtues of the three obediences and four virtues, wholeheartedly playing the role of a virtuous wife without any ambiguity. Yet sometimes, her adherence to those virtues felt somewhat stifling, leaving one's belly full of anger with nowhere to vent it.

Moreover, no guards were stationed at the ancestral hall, precisely out of fear that the clan's youth would learn bad habits from Jia Zhen. As for whether Jia Zhen knelt or not—the ancestral tablets were right there; should anyone dare to sit before the tablets, that would be an act of disrespecting the ancestors, constituting yet another crime.

Although many people disliked or failed to understand those so-called "non-mainstream" songs, this did not affect their explosive popularity. Disregarding the current chorus of doubts, complaints, and mockery on the internet, that was merely because these songs had not yet begun to ferment.
