Chapter 22

If she had a dress like that, all the girls at the mine would envy her.

The fat man didn’t believe it, casting a doubtful and even disdainful look at Lin Fan, as if he were a prison warden scrutinizing a prisoner.

Ji Shuyun sighed deeply, unable to endure the oppressive atmosphere, and stepped out of the ward. Suddenly, he felt an urge to visit Yao Qinyin and speak with her.

Whenever he came here, it was always with a middle-aged gentleman from a wealthy family, and their conversations were quite pleasant. Since their arrival, the shop’s business seemed to have improved.

The blind old Taoist and the old yellow dog were putting on a lively show. After the Taoist finished speaking, the old dog barked in response, providing a fitting soundtrack.

Chen Buyi had just steadied himself and immediately launched a fierce strike. The power of his Dharma form infused the Lishang Sword, and the pure Yang Dao patterns appeared on the blade.

Every time Jin An struck, he would turn back to boast to Lin Qinghe, like a dog seeking praise, which made Lin Qinghe smile slightly.

He thought to himself that since Mu Wanfeng was arrested for a serious crime, there should be a chance for him to escape, right?

The restaurant manager nearby rubbed his hands, torn between options. While comforting Luo Liangcai, he invited Lin Fan and the others to step aside.

That murderous aura was not something ordinary people could withstand. However, Chen Buyi’s performance was decent, and Wang Zhizhong thought it was quite good.

After waiting for a whole month in Dingzhou, Li Tai decided to personally go to Liaodong, both to better command the battlefield and to boost morale.

Within this familiar scene, she inexplicably grew restless, not expecting Anger to give her any satisfying response, and took the lead to walk forward.

Juhua was unaware that both of them intended to fatten her up, so she ate heartily without restraint. Zhang Huai watched and laughed happily, thinking tonight’s meal truly smelled delicious.

This man was named Chang Kun, from an institution that had always maintained good relations with Lingxiao Academy. This time, he was invited by the alliance to serve as a cross-regional law enforcement officer. He had already been briefed by his institution’s leaders and need not intervene directly, but if the opportunity arose, he would not hesitate to deal harshly with Ming Guang.

After bathing, Lin Kangping wrapped Ziqing in a large towel and carried her directly to the bed. The bedding was very soft; when she lifted it, she found three layers of quilts underneath.

“Of course,” Yuan Tianye said, “do whatever you want. After we marry, we’ll live in Xuanyuan City, and whichever country you visit will be quite close.”

Knowing the Crown Prince had caused a major disaster, she could only grit her teeth and cope for now. She hoped that Yiyu was safe in the palace; otherwise, if Li Tai made trouble, it might turn Chang’an City upside down.

The middle section of the canyon narrowed considerably, with towering cliffs standing on both sides. The steep walls looked as if carved by knives and axes, bare without a hint of greenery. When night fell, the scene grew even more perilous.

Zong Shaoxin called out lightly twice. Zong Shaozhong weakly opened his eyes, glanced at Zong Shaoxin, and then closed them again.

Bai Caigu felt strange. He clearly remembered sitting here surrounded only by trees, but now suddenly there was an ancient tomb behind him.

“Perhaps! Someone like you could truly determine the fate of Pingtian Kingdom in the future,” Mudan thought to herself.

Nanny Shen glanced at Qingbi, noticing she wore a purple strapless dress embroidered with vivid begonia flowers in gold thread, draped with a thin, translucent veil.

Yu Zhena shook her head. The king paid more attention to the heavenly secrets than to her brother, which was not surprising to her.

Since the blind man forbade Lu Yun from moving, Lu Yun did not dare to be sure whether he and Wang Danqing could escape the blind man’s pursuit by running away.

People said Yue Chengfeng was the softest target among all ‘洞’ estates, the easiest to squeeze. Now that the disciple Xuan ‘Lu’ had died, many were subtly pointing fingers at Yue Chengfeng.

Zhao Yi lightly tapped, and a rocket launcher resembling an open cigarette case appeared on the field. The bright red missile heads barely needed aiming; fifteen hatches all aligned toward the Selens. Seeing these missiles aimed at himself, the Selens felt an inexplicable chill.

One of the five elders of the Northern Azure Dao Sect, Qin Feichen’s gaze turned to the Lord of Yunmeng. As he spoke, a mocking smile curled the corners of his lips.

She was not on the bed in her dormitory, nor in her old family home. She inexplicably found herself in a desolate plain, treated as if she were a corpse.

“Is this not shocking enough?” Lu Yun looked at Mudan. Mudan had to maintain her figure, so she usually ate only until she was eighty percent full, just a bowl of rice.

Everyone was intent on finding Bai Ranan to discuss the aftermath; this was also the best way to ‘force’ the long-missing Bai Ranan to reappear.

Wu Zheng shook his head; there were no more reinforcements. Yin Yufeng had fled with the child, while Tu Xuanzhong remained aboard the ship.

Seeing Alice’s determined expression, Lu Yu feared she would be upset if he refused to drink, so he took the water bottle from her hand and sipped a little.

“No need. I have someone to inform,” Tu Xuanzhong said, grabbing Li Huli and lifting him upward. Two guards scaled the wall and entered, and then he himself leapt up to look down.

Previously, Ji Lao said he dared not provoke Bai Jun, but Lu Yu still didn’t fully understand. Now, after seeing everything, he finally comprehended. Bai Jun’s strength was so great he could emerge directly from hell.

Although Lu Shuangyang had been tricked, a true expert is always an expert; his awareness is strong. Even if you can’t see him, he is still here.

“Please!” Hillrais took the lead for Lu Yu, while some other paladins took Dan’er to another hotel.

Yun Xiao was shocked. Damn, how many layers of obstacles are there? Wasn’t the Fire Python guardian spirit terrifying enough? Now this strange fiery hand appeared. Why is it so difficult to seize a treasure? Is there any peace for people anymore?
