Matter

Grandmother Ye fell silent again. Leaning on her cane, she hurried almost to the front door, then paused and looked back at her granddaughter, who was following with a basket in hand.

Then, trembling slightly, she entered an empty room and carried out a basket covered with cotton cloth.

She called Ye Mian over and slowly lifted layer after layer of cloth covering the basket.

Inside were neatly arranged dried persimmons, each one coated in a thick layer of white frost. They were uniformly round and flattened, filling the air with the distinctive, delicate sweetness of persimmons.

“These...

The husband-and-wife battle between Quan Mo and An Ge ended with An Ge’s overwhelming victory.

Lou Lanyue and Moyang watched from behind and could not help shaking their heads and sighing. Truly, comparing people was enough to infuriate anyone.

She really did miss home. Heavenly Spirit Town was too far away for her to see, so she could only climb to a high place and gaze toward the hometown of the one she loved, entrusting her longing to the distance.

Dong Baixue seemed to know everything, understanding it all with uncanny clarity. Thus, she could be certain in her heart that Dong Baixue must have had something to do with Su Rui.

Lei Ao had used this move once before. He knew it consumed an enormous amount of strength, and that after activating it, he would be unable to use his superpower again for some time. It was truly a matter of success or death. But the situation was urgent, and he had no other choice.

Lihua Qing had once believed that An Chen’s departure was caused by guilt. During the days she lived in the courtyard, the medicine she drank had all been poisonous drugs that controlled the mind and soul. Anyone who had taken them would be close to death as soon as they stopped. Yet those poisons had been delivered personally by An Chen, and she believed that time would eventually bring him back to her side.

“Interesting. These natives seem to have known long ago that we would appear in these places,” Ji Kairui said thoughtfully.

The two got out of the car and looked toward the silent gate. Hearing no sound from within, they exchanged puzzled glances.

“It was canceled?” Chen Heguo asked in astonishment. She seemed to have completely forgotten the sorrow and anger she had felt when Sister Hua told her that Fu Shenxing was going to get engaged. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “Was it because of what Teacher He said?”

She was troubled because the clothes she had been wearing were dirty, and she had not brought a change of clothes. The thought of putting the dirty clothes back on after bathing made her deeply uncomfortable.

The people in the hospital room grew louder in their accusations. Mother Lin could no longer bear to stay and rose to leave in disgrace.

The Fourteenth Prince looked somewhat better at this, though anger still burned in the depths of his eyes. “Since that is the case, when I take you away, you will simply come with me. Why waste your breath talking to him?”

Lin Zhao raised his head. His face bore a rare smile, one he had not shown in a very long time, yet there was something glaring about it.

Mo Yunzheng’s expression remained unchanged. He spoke coldly, his hands clasped behind his back and his countenance stern, commanding awe without the need for anger.

After all, the superpower incidents had only begun to erupt recently. Moreover, they were generally handled by the local offices in each city. The Superpower Affairs Bureau was responsible mainly for leadership and seldom took part in actual combat anymore.

Lin Chuqiao saw this and realized that, as her boyfriend, it was time for him to show some concern. He gently stopped Tang Liyun, his voice exceptionally tender.

Someone like Lin Zhao still had to undergo a new inspection before entering, even after being registered by a senior officer.

After Gu Chen modified it, he was able to execute this sword technique while still in the Essence Refining Realm. Though its power had been reduced, one could already faintly glimpse how terrifying the move truly was.

The Shi family’s guards had already told the people that there was no need to send anything more, yet gifts continued to arrive without end.

He secretly kissed her cheek. Jun Wujie’s gaze instinctively fell upon her fair neck.

A faint blush spread across her cheeks like crimson clouds, adding several enticing traces of feminine charm to Chu Xiangsi’s already breathtaking beauty.

“Hahaha... What are you talking about? Young people drinking a little wine is perfectly normal.” Zheng Changdong laughed with exaggerated solemnity, as though it were truly the most natural thing in the world.

Lü Qing wore a black-and-gray wool overcoat over a checked shirt, and his handsome face carried a radiant smile.
