Chapter 109: The Scheming Woman

There had to be some way to help Wolf Ear live longer, some way to restore her health. Besides, this was only the first consultation. Perhaps once she had entered the world, her condition would improve? Hadn’t they said that as long as one felt happy, the body would be well too?

Ning Xiguang instantly understood what the Marshal meant. Hmph, hmph, hmph, she still did not know what the stolen treasure in the crocodile man’s mouth actually was.

As for the Crown Prince’s words, Steward Wang did not fail to understand them; he understood perfectly well, but did not dare answer. After all, he had seen Gao Chong’s spearplay with his own eyes, and so he did not join in. As for Zhao Gou’s attempt to provoke him, Steward Wang knew what was intended, but could not say so aloud.

In any case, Dong Shuqian was not here, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. He also wanted to know how Dong Shuqian had been doing lately.

The same thought flashed through everyone’s mind at once. Yet at this crucial moment, Luo Luo suddenly appeared and rescued Lulu Xiu.

Then he felt a massive shadow expand rapidly across his already blurred vision, as though something were hurtling toward him at breakneck speed.

Ouyang Xiu’s era was separated from the age of Chai Rong of the Later Zhou by merely a century, yet by then the kilns of Chai had almost vanished from the world, so that people of the time could not even imagine the color of Chai porcelain. They could only use the somewhat similar Ru porcelain as a basis from which to imagine the exquisite perfection of Chai wares.

The damage brought by Ode Borzak was immense, affecting an entire town. This reminded Kiritsugu of that island: on a mere island, so many had already perished. An entire town would surely mean tens of thousands of deaths. After learning about the magic bees he had developed, Kiritsugu’s resolve to kill him at all costs only hardened.

In her count, during this period, the number of divine-domain dragonkin that had taken action had actually exceeded one hundred. In other words, on Dragon Island, there were at the very least one hundred dragonkin who had already stepped into the divine domain, a number that already surpassed the openly known divine-domain figures she had seen on the continent.

“Mother, why did Auntie only reveal the truth after Cousin was born?” Zhao Gou asked in puzzled confusion.

I heard the sound of water in the distance again, and when I turned to leave, I had intended to jump in and go, but once I reached the bank I hesitated and withdrew.

“No matter what you intend to do, let me remind you of this: if my parents are disturbed in even the slightest way, I guarantee you will regret it.” After the young man finished explaining his family circumstances, Zhang Wei said this with a grave expression.

Since the leave had already been approved by the director, on the morning of the third day, after Zhang Wei finished filming his scenes, he hurried to the gate of the military base, got into Hu Bo’s car, and headed toward the arranged location.

Jiang Yitang was indeed a hard bone to crack. Although he kept a respectful, bent posture, he did not utter a single word of apology.

It must have happened without Qin Muyang knowing; no wonder he had kept looking outside again and again just now.

Su Nan suppressed the urge to vomit blood, and forcefully took out a Fireburst Charm and slapped it onto the old man. The old man let out a scream.

I did not know what to do either. Things had happened far too suddenly, and they were connected to the Divine Strategy Sect and the Six Fan Gates.

“My brother said he ought to visit Grandma, and plans to make a trip to the Grand Prosperity Garden in a few days.” Jiang Yuanjun was anxious to rush off to school and did not want to upset the fellow or waste any time, so she told the truth.

Even a bargain grandfather is still a grandfather, and a bargain older brother is still an older brother. If they are well, I need not cling to them, but if anything happens to them, I know I could never stand by and do nothing, just like now.

“You can forget about that for the rest of your life. She is a hunter, and you are a priest. You were born slow, with shorter legs; you will never run that kind of way.” Peppercorn Phoenix Claw immediately poured a bucket of cold water over Jelly.

I never saw the power of that Breaking-evil Charm; I only heard the White-Bone Corpse Demon let out a scream, and then I smiled as my body crashed heavily to the ground. Dizziness surged through my head. Through the blur, I heard Wu Liuqi calling my name, but my eyelids were too heavy, and however hard I tried, I could not open them. Slowly, I lost consciousness.

“Mm... well.” Su Jin was drenched in sweat. To think that he had become so famous; even that matter was now known to everyone, making it no easy task to smooth over such a lie.

Cheng Xinyan could not help but feel a little embarrassed, and grew deeply suspicious: had these two really made up?

“You love me, you do not love me—there is no need to say anything more.” Leng Qiu said with a smile, though that smile was bitter, self-mocking.

There was no essential difference between the fourth and fifth ranks, but after all, there was still a rank’s gap between them, and so a certain difference remained.

Two peak Sovereign-level beings stood amid the spatial turbulence, a hundred li apart, conversing loudly, their voices like thunder.

“Come then, let me see what you can do!” Luo Tian found an opportunity to slip away from the group and, following the route in his memory, walked warily toward the cave where the natives lived.

Su Jin’s blood surged upward at those words. That phrase, that he deserved death, entered his ears, and his mind went blank with a buzzing sound. His heart sank: this was bad. The matter was likely exposed.

Xiao Yiyun remained silent, his heart chilled. The matter was very complex; with what he knew now, he still had no way to make sense of it all.

Longing is the impulse to break free of every psychological restraint, to fling one’s luggage aside in public, in front of Yan Luming, and rush into Bao Yifan’s arms to hold him tightly.

I sprang up. How could that be? Could I possibly fall in love with the enemy of the Tang family? Unless I had gone mad.

Wu Shenghe held tightly to Qian Yuehan’s hand and lay on the bed, fast asleep. Suddenly, he heard a choked sound beside him. He opened his eyes in a start and saw the person in his sleep shaking their head over and over, eyes tightly shut, tears falling in endless threads, sliding down the bridge of their nose.

Qu’s mother gave Qu Xiaoxiao a sidelong look. Seeing it, Qu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, because it was a white-eyed look from her mother, no longer one of disgust. So she rushed to Doctor Zhao’s side and clung to him, pressing herself against him.

The three-thousand-meter final trial for the freshman class had begun. They walked down from the stands. Zhao Hui looked at Li Zhenguo, and Li Zhenguo looked back at her. Zhao Hui averted her gaze and thought to herself: perhaps you and I are both in pain, but we are both powerless.

One sentence was enough to make Emperor Yuanwu burst into hearty laughter. Ever since Wang Jiannan entered the palace, the emperor’s smile had not left his face.
