Chapter 32: The Man-Eating Tiger Case (2)

"See... at times like this, we can pick out the dreamlike cat ears..." She stopped mid-sentence as she looked up slightly, only to find the man’s face mere inches from her own.

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere grew heavy. Chinai was stunned; what did Sister Yumiko mean by that?

Due to Miss He’s unique abilities, combined with the assistance of the puppet Hua Tianlai, the White Lotus Sect was now, for all intents and purposes, under her actual control.

Suddenly, everyone began to emerge. Just as Gu Xiran was about to rise and hand the marriage certificate to Mo Nanting, her phone rang. She glanced down at the caller ID and saw it was her brother.

She looked up at the side of Feng Guang’s face, suddenly remembering what her father once said—that her mother was a very warm person.

"It’s quite simple. Where the Joseon army’s great granaries were located, that is where the Japanese army’s provisions are now," Zhong Nan replied.

Feng Guang felt increasingly weak in his embrace. With this man kissing her, her mind grew dizzy, and she could no longer care about anything else.

Feng Guang gripped his hand, feeling that this promise was sweeter than the finest pastry in the world.

The songs previously released by Qiu Shui often featured instruments like the guqin; the sudden switch to the guitar left some feeling it lacked a certain charm.

Xie Zhan sighed. What was to be done? That girl seemed convinced that he was biased toward Xie Yaoyao.

However, after wandering for several days, not a single woman had approached him. Was he really that lacking in charm?

Pang Dongsheng had originally intended to get a pass for Chen Tianhao, but later decided it was unnecessary. With just one phone call from him, Chen could walk into any room at Yanjing University.

But that was only the standard of this world; in his heart, he still identified more with the Earth standard that one only becomes an adult at eighteen. Therefore, based on age alone, both of them could be excluded.

Had she not met Robin the previous night, she might have been able to endure the engagement ceremony with Stefan, if only to honor her father’s dying wish. But now, having met Robin, she truly could not bear it at all; she didn't even want to see Stefan ever again.

Before Old Master Ling could object, Tang Feng had already scooped up the boneless-seeming Yang Xinyou and headed upstairs, straight for Ling Shuang’s room.

Tao Shang rose and followed Diaochan outside to the fence near the military camp; the horizon was already growing somewhat dark.

After all, no one had imagined that the Sagulu person arriving for the assessment was actually the supreme ruler of the Sagulu Star System.

Wu Di and the other two were taken aback, their faces turning pale instantly. Looking at the people around them, they saw nothing but unfriendly glares.

Saving Zhang Long and his son was done because the Zhang family had indeed done much for the Leng family over the years; they could be considered loyal hounds of the Leng clan.

The third project for Fengsheng Agriculture was decided right there in their brief exchange: planting fruit, specifically strawberries.

"I’m just a vulgar person, and that’s all I deserve!" Liu Shi laughed. She saw her reed-thin brother pushing open the glass door of the restaurant. He was tall, and now that conditions had improved, he looked healthy and handsome.

"Listen, stop thinking such nonsense. If this one flies away too, you’ll have a hard time!" Father Lin said, squinting his eyes.

Zhou Yu smiled and turned to look at the table. Yang Jun’s parents and Li Yan’s parents were sitting on opposite sides, creating a sense of confrontation.

"What... what do you mean?" Lin Li couldn't help but freeze at these words. She felt an urge to check if Ye Feng’s brain had been scorched.

As they spoke, Ying'er ran out, knelt before Madam Yang, and opened the burn ointment. To appear busy and avoid conversation, Nuanyang personally took a dab with her fingernail and helped apply it to Madam Yang.

The late Empress had never liked her from the very beginning. Her entry into the palace, her fight for favor, and her role as mother of the nation—it had all merely served to bolster Lu Zhan’s merits.

Guiqi was, of course, already hungry. Upon hearing the old man’s words, he stopped crying. Before he could even wipe his tears, he hurriedly snatched the food to himself. He wiped his eyes and began to eat, though it was just as difficult to swallow. After forcing down one steamed bun, his hunger subsided, and he could eat no more.

"Charge!!" the Sword Master roared, then raised his heavy blade and charged madly at Dabao.

The others were also relieved, thanks to the news of Hongyi’s brothers. Naturally, everyone was overjoyed, and that night, they all drank themselves into a stupor.

Should this feeling be called satisfaction or happiness? Qin Zheng held those three thin sheets of paper as if she were holding the entire world, her heart overflowing with joy.

"Understood, I’ll go buy them tomorrow. Should I get gifts for the other teachers as well?" Mother Su was quick to grasp the implication.

Rudis was one of the Eight Great God Knights of the Heavenly Temple. Like Wang Jiedong, he was a powerful existence above level one hundred, yet even he had to be cautious regarding this matter.

Since this place was fraught with hidden dangers and not suitable for a long stay—every moment of delay adding to the risk—Xiong Ti carefully checked the orientation of the Zijing Embroidery Workshop, then led Guan Muxue, following his intuition, toward the knee-high grasses of the wilderness.
