Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Melodramatic TV-Drama Plot Twist

Whether it was merely her imagination or not, Zhang Jingyan sincerely felt that everyone was being unusually courteous to her today.

Though she was only there as a supporting figure, Zhang Jingyan had received every courtesy that Rachel was entitled to.

Lightning tore across the sky, illuminating even the gloomy dungeon for a fleeting instant. In that moment of sudden brightness, Zhuge Xuan’s face appeared deathly pale.

Saturday was the first day of the New Year holiday, and at dinner, Duan Weiqi asked Li Jiayu to dress up and accompany him out.

This seemed to be a talisman that concealed one’s aura. How could it possibly help Gu Jinxi break through “Cloudfall”?

“Ou Ting, you just said that we could negotiate a condition?” Yu You spoke before Ou Ting could.

Only after those two customers left did it feel as though they had truly opened for business. Ye Miao had placed so many things in her carrying basket that they were bought one after another. By the time Grandma Ye returned, hardly anything remained.

A family of three. The phrase repeated itself once more in Yu You’s mind. Her face flushed, her head grew hot, and she walked straight into the road.

Jiang Song was on good terms with the Li family and naturally did not want to watch the eldest son of the Li family be taken to the police station just like that.

“You came to the right person. I’m not bragging, but although my surname isn’t Wang, I’m the best there is at repairing air conditioners!” With that, he seized Makoto Akatsuki’s hand and dashed straight toward the second floor.

Huan Ling even wished he would simply hold him like this. The wounds on his body might hurt a little, but that did not matter. The more they hurt, the more vividly he could feel the earth-shaking changes that had taken place throughout the morning.

“Heh, that was a long time ago. First, tell me how you guessed who I was. What you said just now could only count as suspicion, couldn’t it?” Wang Zhongming asked with a smile.

Black’s shoulder on the second line in the upper-right corner once again displayed Park Jixuan’s preference for territory and his delicate endgame technique—if White casually played the clamp at the 2-2 point, Black could descend along the second line.

Golden Bean took a deep breath, then gathered all his strength and began concentrating it toward his buttocks.

“Future.” Future nodded in reply. Through those wisps of red hair, the strange eyes patterned with concentric spirals were impossible to overlook.

And you have the nerve to call that fake illusion the God of Mischief? That’s the best you can do?

But no matter how Chestnut struggled and kicked, he merely held Chestnut’s head under the water. Only after forcing him to swallow a bellyful did he haul him up and interrogate him about what had happened before.

Sensing the other person’s reaction, Fan Weiwei remained perfectly still as well. Her head dipped slightly, and a blush spread from the nape of her neck to her cheeks. Her lofty breasts rose and fell without pause, while a tingling sensation traveled like an electric current from the place where Wang Zhongming’s hand rested through every part of her body, making her tremble involuntarily.

The “Night God,” as deep and somber as the darkness of night, had now arrived before Xu Yunlong.

“Why does he look exactly like you?” Young Lord Shen stared at the baby for a while before turning to Prince Shen with open disdain.

Ye Chen’s reaction was far too calm, and it made Wenrou deeply uncomfortable. She was so beautiful and had such a wonderful figure—did Ye Chen truly feel nothing?

Wu Ruxin ran out sobbing. Ouyang wanted to go after her, but the condition he was in made it impossible for him to leave.

Of the five arenas, apart from Zhuge Sheng in the first and Qi Xin in the second, one of the remaining three arenas also belonged to the Zhuge family.

Encountering a ghost and encountering a malign force are naturally two different things. I can still deal with ghosts, but as for malign forces, you may call them filthy things or something else. In short, they are formed from ill fortune and ominous energy—except that these things possess intelligence.
