Chapter 53: Mu Ningning

Mrs. Qian looked at her husband with displeasure. "At a time like this, if you want to die, that's your choice—I’m not ready to die. In the Mu family, apart from the third branch, our main branch holds the lowest status. I have long been tired of it."

As she spoke, her gaze at Mu Gushan was sharp enough to kill. Then she turned to Mrs. Liu. "Your daughter is not dead; she has been in the Lin residence all along. Mrs. He feared that if you knew she was alive, you would make her support you financially. So after a girl died at the Lin residence, Mrs. He deliberately claimed that the deceased girl was..."

In the 1980s, at the county level—especially in the impoverished western counties—university students were rare, and even college diploma holders were few. Vocational school graduates were treasures; many so-called high school graduates were actually worker-peasant cadres like Wang Wei. Some were recommended by villages to attend university, making them the top of the top among students.

The old woman sighed mournfully, "Even the doctors were helpless. My son was delirious, repeatedly calling out 'Miss Wang, Miss Wang.' Now he has no strength left to call. I beg Miss Wang to save my son, please save my son!" She was about to kneel again.

The young man scoffed impatiently, then turned his gaze like a blade, sweeping coldly over the Tie family.

After walking for some time, Wang Shuqiu, hungry and thirsty, dismounted and sought food. She called out anxiously, "Is anyone here? Is anyone here?" No one answered. Seeing the door half ajar, she cautiously pushed it open. Inside was just a bed and a table, but no one was there. To the right hung a tattered curtain over a doorway.

Other villagers wanted to seize Cui Wuyuan to avenge the dead, but fearing his ferocity, no one dared approach. From a distance, they only shouted curses.

The white fox showed no hurry to leave; instead, it began teaching its sister how to transform.

It was simply a matter of hoping Dumbledore would save some face—why clarify now, at this moment, instead of earlier or later? It would make it seem as if he were forced by Mr. Lockhart. As the headmaster of a prestigious school, he ought to maintain some dignity.

Sanzang held an inexplicable trust and reverence for the Buddha. His eyes sparkled as he said to Li Lie, "Emperor, I believe that once the Buddha returns to Mount Ling, everything will turn for the better."

Golden light erupted in his eyes; his fur gradually vanished, revealing raven-blue scales beneath.

This statement was a definitive declaration of Zhu Xiongying’s identity—Senior Brother Guiyun Cangjian. It was ironclad.

After Yile descended the stairs, Tono had already claimed the bathroom, so he turned and headed to the kitchen. Only then did he remember the ingredients were all gone.

Yile felt that even if Eriri and Tsunoya’s relationship remained as it was back then, they probably wouldn’t end up together. Tsunoya likely regarded Eriri merely as a great playmate or like a sister. Mainly, Tsunoya could not see any real-life girl as a rival; after all, you lose simply because you weren’t born in the two-dimensional world.

Even the observers of the two clans thousands of miles away experienced the shifting celestial phenomena—sometimes raging storms, sometimes clear skies, sometimes drifting snow, and sometimes sudden hail.

Therefore, the current rankings were unreliable. It would take time before they stabilized. As long as a team had sufficient strength, they would eventually climb to the top ranks.

Su Mengyao rose from the ground, looking at the figure blocking her path. She felt a mixture of relief and an indescribable sweetness.

Even Wei Dian, fierce and brave as he was, couldn't help but shudder at the sight of the youth’s severed arm wound.

Zhang Lingshu was entering the palace for the first time, about to meet the emperor and empress, her heart slightly anxious. Yet, coming from a noble family, she was dignified, composed, intelligent, and quick-witted. On the carriage to the palace, Yang Hao gently held her hands, warming her heart and instantly dispelling all her worries and unease, making her calm and composed.

The Blue Light Fairy was rendered speechless and, realizing this dragon scoundrel was teasing her, rolled her eyes involuntarily.
