Volume 1, Chapter 128: I Want to Understand You

Zhou Jingdu finally voiced the question, "Why?"

He had clearly told her not to ask so many whys.

Yet, why did he still ask?

Shen Chaowu pressed her lips together, unwilling to reveal what she had endured.

Those were not pleasant memories, nor were they matters worthy of sharing.

She changed the subject, "Didn't you tell me not to ask so many whys..."

Though she had received many wanderers from all directions—north and south—even the blue-eyed people from the Western Regions were nothing unusual.

Lu Li looked at Ninth Uncle with a gaze full of concern and felt deeply moved. Ninth Uncle was the kind of master who devoted himself wholeheartedly to his disciples, never shirking responsibility when they got into trouble, silently bearing the burden for them. It was exactly because of this that so many had admired and revered him in a previous life.

But at that moment, he stretched out his only remaining left arm suddenly and lunged toward Parvati.

Ming Liuzheng’s eyes sparkled like bright stars, revealing admiration as she gazed fixedly at Yun Cheng.

Because of her outstanding looks and figure, during her sophomore year, Morgana was noticed by an advertising company while shopping on Chunxi Road in the city center.

In the basement of the house lay a stone coffin, where the vampire was peacefully asleep.

He immersed himself in the blood, looking up to the sky, his eyes piercing through the endless rain of blood, seemingly gazing toward the celestial realm.

She asked Xiao Xi to take the others back to the mansion, while she returned to find Zongzheng Zhaomu and recounted everything that had just happened.

Of course, he had been deceived by fake weight-loss products many times before. Yet each time, he persisted relentlessly. His unwavering determination almost brought tears to one’s eyes.

Yun Gu smiled warmly, watching her young mistress eat with utmost elegance, nodding in satisfaction. Though the steamed bun was simple, she ate it with considerable skill. Yun Gu wanted to use her manner of eating the bun to prove her own thoughts, wondering if she had misjudged her.

Then he reached out and pressed the stone table, causing the stone slab to creak open. Xie Liuyun swiftly flashed forward, leapt down first, followed closely by him as they entered the wine cellar.

If he were to break his promise, once it affected the grand plans of the Taoist sect, his teachers would surely regard him as useless forevermore, and his reputation among the younger generation would be greatly diminished, making any future achievements tremendously difficult.

"If it's just for one night, Xinxi probably won’t mind..." Cheng Lingzhi mumbled softly, quickly making the bed before carrying her nightgown to the bathroom for a bath.

Cheng Lingzhi wore an expression that said, “Do you think I’m a fool?” Did he think she was blind? Couldn’t she tell how passionate he was? Who was it back at the hospital who had been so cold, expressionless, never even smiling, and often throwing tantrums as if ready to kill?

Jiang Ming saw they were blocking the way and refusing to move. He strode over, pushing them aside with his hands, forcefully clearing a path.

"Hey, how dare you say that!" Zhang Fei was delighted to hear someone knew, though he still put on a tough front.

"What use is keeping them alive? Kill them! What if they cause us trouble later?" Yun Mo spoke without concealing any of his murderous intent.

"In the end, it’s because you have no money and no power; they simply don’t care about you!" Chen Zhifan shook his head, pinpointing the heart of the problem.

He looked up at the sky. As a coach, he naturally understood how much it would boost a team's morale to come back from a two-goal deficit and equalize in a short time—especially when the team was Yuying High School with Zhang Shujie. At this rate, Iron Man High School’s prospects looked grim.

Following Luo Hebin’s directions, Sheng Lingyun pressed hard on the spot. His abdomen jolted as if electrified, his whole body trembling. His bladder immediately relaxed, and he lost control as a warm stream trickled down his leg onto the ground.
