Volume 1, Chapter 58: Who is Greater in Your Heart, Brother Hua or Alphabet Brother?

Gu Chenyi’s cold expression vanished entirely the moment he turned and saw that face, which was identical to Hua Jiuqiu’s.

Hua Jiuqiu had never called him that way before.

His voice softened involuntarily: "What is it?"

"I want to watch you ride a horse. I’ve never seen you when you’re riding," Lin Beibei said with a smile, anticipation shining in her eyes.

You shouldn't just let the client suffer.

You also have to give the client a little sweetness from time to time.

...

Shen Yu sat under a parasol by the edge of the racecourse, watching the two of them chat and stroll not far away, with Gu Chenyi even willingly leading the horse for the other person. He let out a soft click of his tongue.

It's over. Gu Chenyi has definitely fallen in love.

Since he couldn't have Hua Jiuqiu, he found someone who looked just like Hua...

At this moment, the atmosphere in the arena had already become exceptionally lively, with many people engaged in heated discussions.

Before I could say anything more, I was spun around and pressed down onto the yoga mat. Then my entire body was lifted up, my clothes were pulled up, and a pair of pale hands wandered wantlessly across my body, as if trying to prove his ownership.

As soon as she finished speaking, she distinctly felt the man holding her tighten his embrace with a sudden surge of strength.

"Much older, indeed." Ye Xue thought with internal amusement. Speaking of which, the time her soul spent dormant within the Nine Heavens Star Chart was truly miraculous.

She took a light breath and drew a massive red feather from her storage space. This feather was a full three zhang long, and when held upright, it almost reached the dome of the grand hall.

Yan Yifeng's expression shook violently. As it turned out, what Roulü had said six years ago was actually the truth. She had never secretly colluded with the enemy; she had merely been enduring humiliation and carrying a heavy burden. When her sincere intentions were so resolutely rejected by him, the despair she felt was something no one could possibly comprehend.

Hearing the sound of a car horn, he turned his head slightly. Chen Yuan stepping out of the car made his eyes light up for a fraction of a second before they dimmed, the next second transforming into an uncontrollable fury.

Hong Ling sighed and cast a worried glance at Leng Ran. This silly girl was foolish enough to break one's heart.

"Just say the word, Young Sixth." Mother Li was an old servant of the ancestral estate and had always liked Chu Yun. She had peeked at Chu Yun from the kitchen when she first arrived, and seeing her step into the kitchen now, she handed her current task over to someone else, took Chu Yun's hand, and pointed out the steamed groupers, sweet and sour pork ribs, and mu shu pork arranged on the counter.

Humans hunt magical beasts to obtain various materials and magic crystals from their bodies, which are used to craft equipment, weapons, and alchemical potions to enhance their strength. In contrast, the purpose of magical beasts killing humans is much simpler—it is purely for prey.

Wang Defang’s words were filled with genuine emotion, leaving no room for the slightest flaw to be picked, yet Li Siqin merely smiled inwardly and dismissed it with a passing thought.

"Heh, you'll find out when the time comes," this man said to the arrogant man who had just spoken.

"That's strange. I made an enemy of the Divine Palace the moment I entered the Death Forest. If they wanted to deal with me, they could have done it openly. Why bother with these useless games?" Xiao Yan expressed his incomprehension.

The temperature plummeted abruptly, and the northern wind howled outside the window. Although the heating was on in the hospital room, keeping it as warm as spring, with a bouquet of fresh flowers placed at the head of the bed radiating gentle warmth, could one still feel the warmth if the heart was cold?

Therefore, when Old Zhang—half out of curiosity and half with yearning—parked his car in front of this expansive mansion that clearly occupied a vast area, aside from the ancient-looking blue-tiled and red-bricked architecture, the most striking feature was undoubtedly the four large, gilded characters on the plaque hanging above the vermilion double doors adorned with bronze studs.

"Well, Third Brother, if you have no further instructions, I'll go off to take care of my duties!" Yi Piaoyao hastily found an excuse for himself and said.

Suddenly, Zhao Gan's ears twitched slightly, and he caught a strange sound. However, he had no time to ponder it, as a far more urgent matter was unfolding right before him: directly opposite his Audi A6, a BMW M3 with a familiar license plate was hurtling straight toward him.

If the candidate selected by a noble family possessed very low strength—belonging to the type with high talent and potential who could not yet stand alone due to age restrictions—then the strength of the accompanying personnel dispatched by the noble family had to be sufficiently formidable. Otherwise, the slightest negligence could result in the candidate being ambushed and killed.

It was not until the golden-patterned snow cat collapsed onto the ground that Gelinton finally breathed a sigh of relief. With a loud clatter, he discarded his shield onto the ground, cast aside all sense of dignity, and slumped down heavily, panting breathlessly. His two arms, which had been holding the shield aloft, hung limply at his sides, looking utterly wretched.

"No, she's not dead. She's not dead, she's just tricking me," Chu Bing muttered, shaking his head in stubborn disbelief, before suddenly coughing up a mouthful of blood and collapsing unconscious to the ground.

He forgot that he had once walked a long and arduous mortal lifetime, accompanied by several good companions of varied personalities. Together, they had made a promise in the birthday hot springs to return home together.

Shen Wenzhi and Shen Junshuo couldn't help but chuckle secretly. This was Mo Xingchen's truest, most hidden side, as well as the most endearing side beneath her overbearing exterior. This side was rarely revealed to others, limited strictly, one might say, to Liang Kun and Shen Wenzhi.

The wind carried by the breeze faltered for a moment, and then an object radiating brilliant multicolored light suddenly materialized from within the gentle wind.

"Since you're so powerful, why couldn't you protect her well?" Xiao You turned his head, his eyes burning red as he glared angrily at the dark figure and shouted the question.

It was blatantly obvious that even though He Yitong was turning to him for help, she did not entirely trust him, nor would she ever tell him the absolute truth.

Among all the divisions and departments of the Great Qian Dynasty, there was none more suited than the Demon-Slaying Division for Fang Hong to carry out his grand undertaking of executing demons.

Recalling that his eldest son had summoned those two concubine-born sons into the residence, it certainly wasn't out of a sudden urge to reminisce about brotherly affection. It meant there was business at hand, and most likely, bad business at that.

Long before Su Mingan realized it in the places he hadn't noticed, so many people had already fallen in the rain behind him.

Alice gave no response. Aside from a very slight nod when Su Mingan had asked her earlier if she was willing to return, she had remained in a deep sleep the entire time. Her soul imprint was in the hands of the Holy See, leaving her currently in a state resembling a vegetative person.
