Volume 1, Chapter 65: You Actually Think Li Shiyan Hates You?

Ning Yu regained consciousness with a hazy mind, a dull throbbing pain stabbing at her temples.

Opening her eyes, she was met with absolute darkness, unable to see a thing. Her hands and feet were tightly bound to a chair, rendering her completely immobile.

"Mission accomplished successfully!" Duan Chengyu walked through the door, waved the dustpan in his hand at Su Nuannuan, and gently placed it in a corner of the living room.

Jin Leng was initially baffled, but then hastily defended herself with flattering panic, "I dare not keep anything from you two noble consorts, your humble concubine truly knew nothing of this matter! I merely visited Dai Ninghua to keep her company in my leisure time, never expecting her to hold me in such high regard." She then expressed her gratitude for Mu Biwei's recommendation and the profound favor of the Right Enying.

"Who are you! Why are you telling me to stand up?" Zhang Han rose to her feet, using her finger to slowly push Wu Xintian's hand away.

A look of pure mockery remained plastered across Long Mie's face. He couldn't be bothered to expose the stubborn teammate's past mistakes any further; after all, he knew the truth of the situation better than anyone.

When the maid entered and discovered the two of them sleeping together, her face instantly flushed crimson, and she stood there gazing at the sleeping figures, uncertain whether she ought to wake them.

It no longer mattered. As long as those whom I love, and those who love me, are willing to remove their masks before me and laugh or cry to their hearts' content, that would be the greatest wish of my life.

"What?" Huang Yiyi was currently admiring the cake Prince Hao had bought for her, paying no attention whatsoever to what Zhou Yuan was stammering about.

The enormous Buddha possessed a towering physique that was in no way inferior to Amitabha, truly a giant whose head brushed against the starry river and whose feet trod upon the sun and the moon, capable of overturning the world with a mere flip of the hand.

The carriage stopped by the roadside. Duan Chengyu got out, exchanged a few words with the persimmon vendor, and watched as the vendor immediately loaded a crate of persimmons into the trunk. A sinister smile crept across the corners of Su Nuannuan's lips.

"Yesterday, a caravan belonging to our Chu Yun Chamber of Commerce suffered a sudden ambush in Zhongshan, resulting in the total loss of all cargo. Seventeen guards sustained severe injuries and are currently undergoing intensive treatment, though their lives are not in danger," the messenger reported in a low voice.

Apart from the Demon Lord, the remaining remnants of exotic faiths in this world were hardly worth mentioning.

Just pick any decent-looking courtyard and settle in. If you need servants, find Du Ruo and have him make the arrangements.

The wind blowing from some distant opening was vastly fresher than the foul, stale air of the tunnel. Vast pools of water seeped from the exterior of the cavern inward, gathering into clear, shallow pools. Having traversed the underground tunnels for roughly two days, they finally emerged onto the surface on the other side of the forest.

She understood well in her heart that children would inevitably grow up one day, leaving their parents and their home behind. All she and Lin Zhiyuan could do was let go with reluctance, watching their daughter's receding figure while keeping a warm haven ready at their backs to welcome her return at any moment.

A cooling sensation flowed into her temples, slightly easing Bibi Dong's somewhat numb mind. Such memorials numbered no fewer than a thousand a day, and matters of this sort could easily be decided not just by local cardinals, but even by ordinary deacons at the Spirit King level.

We arrived at a spacious conference room featuring a long, oval table complete with a massive ashtray resting upon it. Xixi informed me that this was the space specifically designated by the personnel department for interviews and meetings.

Kamisato Hayase did not take Oonagi Kinoko's words to heart. They had only met a few times after all; how could the other party possibly have feelings for him?

Upon being ignited, the flame burned black, casting not a single ray of light, while a peculiar, foul odor diffused through the air.

Following the one-on-one duel incident and his return to duty, he had received a promotion thanks to the appreciation of Section Chief Hayase. In a mere half-year, he had reached the same rank as Hyakki, becoming a rising star in the police department and receiving favors from many quarters.
