Volume One, Chapter 78: Beating Shen Hanchuan Mercilessly
Forgive Jiang Yao?
Shen Chaowu found it laughable. In her previous life, she had suffered endlessly in the Zhou family, falling from a pampered young lady to a servant in their household. In all that time, had anyone ever spared a thought for her? Had anyone forgiven her?
Shen Chaowu had done nothing wrong. Yet not a single person was willing to forgive her, to pull her from the mire.
If only they won, they could obtain the barrier—a barrier that could be given to their master for research, something he had long desired.
Ye Chengfan was a typical senior, while Luo Heng had managed to win over the dorm manager since his freshman year.
Li Shao was stunned upon hearing Su Yang’s name. He scrutinized him carefully. Wasn’t this the streamer who had topped the video click rankings? He did look a bit like a vine, but the flat pod was black on the outside and the beans inside were yellow. Chen Hu immediately dismounted to collect them, picking the pods and placing them in a burlap sack.
Once Yun Ruoshi finished her task, Yang Qi shifted his focus to the major powers of Minghai. The Shadow Team’s daily assignment was to monitor these groups, and among those who remained hidden, only their old rival, King Xue, posed a challenge.
And yet, in this pot, there was a ginseng king. The turtle soup, flavored by the ginseng, became exceptionally fragrant, and after just a single mouthful, a delightful taste lingered.
Helplessly, he followed his fiancée—the president of a large company. Though the company had been sold, her standards remained dauntingly high; in every aspect of life, nothing was lacking.
The voice of Hu Xinyue echoed incessantly in Qin Hu’s mind, as if uttering final words, then at last fell silent. No matter how loudly Qin Hu called, he could no longer hear Hu Xinyue.
At that moment, it was gnawing contentedly on a desert succulent, paying no heed to its surroundings.
A scorching wave descended from the sky, the terrifying heat seeming as though it would melt An Thirteen into a pool of liquid.
Suddenly, the raging energy within the space-time storm swept away the Demon of Slaughter, drawing him deep inside until he vanished.
Watching that carefree figure turn away, Zhang Qingling’s lips curved in a faint sneer. She was about to speak but thought better of it, shook her head, and followed the others.
Sun Shining felt as though she was watching from afar as the two bantered flirtatiously. She had fled her home to escape Shi Ying, only to find that even in the Flowing Horse Garrison, she could not avoid her.
“She’s so beautiful—don’t you have any other thoughts?” Yuan Xinxin stared intently at Lin Feng, her face full of disbelief.
Sun Shining wondered in what setting Madam Xue would say such things to Shi Ying. Was it when Shi Ying complained to her mother, lamenting repeated failed proposals, the disgrace of marrying beneath her station, her reputation growing ever worse?
Xia Minghan was uncertain. Deep down, he felt a faint worry for Lin Yanqiu’s future.
“Master Yan, we can’t keep on like this—we’ll be worn down by them sooner or later...” Zhong Kui could barely contain himself and turned to Yan Chifeng for advice.
Xu Fan and Honda Tsubasa arrived at their destination. As they jumped out of the car, they could hear the wails echoing through Kabukicho.
“Of course! When your brother takes charge, is there any problem he can’t settle?” Lin Feng replied, utterly devoid of humility, a look of smugness on his face.
Finally out of the palace, Chen Fei spotted Yin Ping still waiting outside. He let out a long sigh, tucked the note into his pocket, and joined Yin Ping on the way to the Cheng residence.
The mercenary guild in Korianor City maintained a constant throng, not only frequented by mercenaries but also by commoners and nobles who came to post all manner of strange tasks. This only made the guild livelier.
Meng Zhu nodded. There is no feast that does not end. Still, Siying was marrying into the Li family—she would always be family. Meng Zhu embraced Siying, sending all her blessings to this beloved friend, soon to be her sister-in-law.
Their constant comings and goings puzzled the nurses. The care and concern shown for Lele was no less than that of true parents. Yet, if they really were the parents, this child had been born a little too early.
She picked up the bowl from the ground; most of the bird’s nest soup had spilled, leaving only a little broth. Granny Jinyun brought the bowl to her nose, sniffed, and then studied it intently for a while. Seeing her grave expression, she grew anxious, but kept her face calm, quietly waiting for her reaction.
Such courtesy from the waiter was truly exceptional service. Although Song Duanwu wasn’t sure if it was because of that hundred yuan, with the waiter chattering away so much, he felt compelled to respond in kind.
Why did Guo Linlian need so many “Jade Skin Pills”? To sell them, of course. With several wives as beautiful as flowers and jade, he had no need for such things himself.
As everyone speculated about the source of the commotion, another tremendous crash sounded from afar, no less powerful than the first, making the members of Starshine Mercenary Group’s ears ring.
That nearly stole Xing Shaoqing’s soul! But just as Cheng Lulu returned to Song Duanwu’s side to continue their flirtations, his enviable phone rang in his pocket.
If Wei Shaotian knew that from beginning to end, Ling Susu had only used him as a warning example, he might feel differently. While he thought he’d made a favorable impression on Ling Susu, she could not even recall the face of the man she’d just struck down.
Qiao Yu thought for a moment. When she arrived, she’d handed FC over to John due to limited energy. Now, seeing FC’s belongings here, could something have happened on the island?
If she revealed everything to Shu Xiaofeng now, it would bring unimaginable disaster upon him.
