Volume 1 Chapter 44: Falling in Love?

"I don't want this..."

"Could it be that you want me instead?" Feng Jingmo suddenly stepped closer to Youyue with a smile. "You're getting a bargain. I'm very easy to get—once you try, you've got me."

As he spoke, Feng Jingmo suddenly reached out to stroke Youyue's face. However, a crisp, sharp slap rang out.

Feng Jingmo was struck back several steps, clutching his face as he stared at Youyue in disbelief. Looking at her own hand, Youyue was stunned as well.

It was over. She had slapped her master's cousin! How could she have failed to control herself like this!

As Fengyan's deskmate, Ruoqing had no idea what to say about him at the moment. Seeing Fengyan come to school looking all disheveled, she couldn't help wondering what he had been up to the night before. Besides, either the guy didn't show up at all, or when he did, he would just sleep soundly the whole time. Ruoqing truly had to hand it to him.

With a slight movement of Ye Chen's mind, the treasure chests opened automatically. In an instant, Ye Chen harvested thirty thousand Valerian sword blueprints, ten thousand Valerian bow blueprints, and over three million Valerian armor blueprints, including Valerian helmets.

If she hadn't visually estimated that she probably couldn't beat him, she would never have appeared before her mistress in such a dejected state. Honestly, she had managed to embarrass herself right at Young Master Yi's doorstep.

"Your words are as sharp as ever. You certainly take after your master's wife," Nie Shi remarked indifferently, offering a brief reply.

Seeing how things stood, Nail didn't want to get involved in the commotion. He just wanted to head home early and give the money to his wife, so he bid farewell to Golden Light.

Song Xin was not an arrogant person; she simply hoped this fellow wouldn't try to commit suicide, or all her efforts would go to waste.

"What are you doing? We've had it with you for a long time. You give us a pitiful amount of money a year, yet you order us around day in and day out." Ah Qiang had long harbored deep resentment toward Lu Zihao.

If he could have done it, he would have done so long ago. He only feared that Immortal Changle was intentionally hiding, knowing that since she shared a close friendship with Immortal Guyue, he wouldn't truly make a move against her, and thus she refused to show herself easily.

Mo Zili reacted instantly, flying out in pursuit without a moment's hesitation. A massive stellar chess formation crashed down from the sky, shaking the earth twice with its sheer force.

However, that deity's reaction clearly indicated he was there for Xuan Duan. Seeing Xuan Duan in his current ghastly, less-than-human state, the deity looked profoundly displeased.

Fu Shenxing glanced at her twice. Seeing that she wouldn't even look at him anymore, he had no choice but to withdraw his gaze and sullenly continue his game of cards.

"Indeed. At least I hold the title of a princess. Since I can never attain the truest things in this world, I might as well find someone I fancy and then ask His Majesty to issue an imperial decree bestowing our marriage," Puzhen said with a sinister, chilling tone.

Kang Fanli glared at Fu Yuanye with reddened eyes, dragged the food cart slightly outward, and marched straight into the room with a knife in hand.

Such was her current predicament, and the reality might be even worse. For "that mountain" could move; he would decide according to his mood whether to drive her directly over a cliff to eternal damnation, or step back a few paces and watch with a smile as she fought a desperate, futile struggle like a cornered beast.

Shen Wanyuan reached out and lifted the carriage curtain. Seeing that the silver-robed man was able to fend off multiple opponents single-handedly, her anxious heart eased slightly. She knew these silver-robed men were her husband's people, and their martial arts were bound to be extraordinary.

"It's fine, we've only just started as well." Instructor Lu looked at Shen Wanyuan, his rugged facial features softening considerably because of his smile.

After returning the dishes to the kitchen, Shangguan Che and Bai Qian went back to their bedroom, took a hasty shower, and got into bed.

Facing Shen Wanqing's interrogation, Shen Wanyuan merely curved the corners of her lips. Lifting her gaze to meet Shen Wanqing's, her voice remained as soft and gentle as ever.

Er Qin had forgotten that Gao Shiman was a master of sharp and persuasive speech. Combined, he and Li Ling were no match for her. In just a few sentences, she twisted the word "lewdness" to her advantage, placing herself on the moral high ground and leaving Er Qin completely speechless, staring at her blankly with his mouth slightly agape.

At that time, she was nearly unconscious, yet she still heard his words clearly. He said: "As long as you are well, I will let you go see Liang Yuanze and let you return to your former life."
