Chapter 29: Miss Luo, Why Not Try Loving Someone Else?

Fu Yanchi lifted his gaze, his deep, obsidian eyes shimmering with a hazy, unfocused light.

"Fine. You brothers really do have a thing for older women, don't you?"

"You talk too much."

"I'll shut up then. I'll message you back later."

After hanging up, Fu Yanchi’s brow creased slightly. He turned to the few people in front of him and waved his hand. "Something has come up; we’ll call off the race for today." He tossed a card their way, adding, "Tonight’s late-night snacks are on me."

Zhang Wei hurriedly pulled Lao Liang aside and explained Shao Yuqiang’s background. The more Lao Liang heard, the more astonished he became. A vice president from Guangdong, a director at the Jade Association headquarters, and a member of the China Gems and Jewelry Association—this was someone Lao Liang could not afford to offend.

The seller’s voice was loud, trembling with excitement. For a jadeite dealer, unearthing a piece of glass-species jade was no small feat.

It seemed that Abbot Puhui of Shaolin was either a quintessential pushover or simply a man who avoided trouble, which hardly lived up to Shaolin’s formidable reputation.

My master’s voice grew fainter and fainter, and my consciousness reached its limit. Finally, darkness swallowed my vision, and I lost all sense of awareness.

Eisen spoke to Ao Yu with a grave expression; it was clear he had only arrived at this conclusion after much deliberation.

Qin Lie nodded. He was already a formidable expert at the ninth level of the Human Martial Realm, and with the addition of Yun Xiaowei, whose strength was equally unfathomable, while they still could not defeat Chen Wantian, holding him off for a while was at least possible.

Marvel movies were highly profitable now, but they weren't handing out money for free; naturally, there would be bargaining. That was business, after all.

The influence of Yoo Jae-suk and Kang Ho-dong remained as potent as ever, and with the respective comebacks of Beast and IU (Lee Ji-eun) in September and October, their performance was equally impressive. The "Yi Family" could truly be said to be blossoming in every field, with such comprehensive development that all other agencies were forced to step aside.

Yet, he dared not speak. If he truly said it, he might not only lose his own life, but Duan Chen would also be unable to escape the same fate.

At that moment, a massive ice hammer materialized around him. It appeared solid and was many times more powerful than the one that had collided with Cang Tian earlier.

Gu Ting was utterly baffled, yet the three items the Master required had been barely acquired. Since the Divine Lord Feilian was so temperamental and eccentric, it was surely more important to report back to his master. He bowed to the Divine Lord Feilian and glanced at Fucang, signaling for him to follow.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Su Lingyu looked over to see Qingzhi walking in, carrying a basin of hot water.

"Don't worry, you won't have any more nightmares from now on." Ji Wei gently stroked Wang Sisi’s back in a soothing motion. Wang Sisi felt a wave of warmth surge through her, and the lingering chill she had felt for the past few days seemed to be easily swept away by Ji Wei’s touch.

But the very next day, the original host was in a car accident. When she woke up, everything had changed; the once filial and well-behaved child had transformed into someone calculating and ruthless, stopping at nothing to achieve her ends.

At this point, the tears that had been welling in Jiang Yunwen’s eyes finally fell.

After this outdoor selection mission ended, the looks of contempt and suspicion that had originally been directed at her vanished completely.

Besides, she had actually dared to trade insults with that red skeleton—was she not afraid of the creature’s retaliation?

Yun Xiqian coaxed it casually, though as she spoke, she found herself craving some egg puff pastry as well.

It was perfectly normal for male beasts to fight until they were bloodied over jealousy. The strategy was to first let the Wolf Marshal and the Eagle Marshal tear each other apart over you, and then you and the Tiger Marshal could seize the chance to finish them off.

He had to master his skills quickly, then set out to find his senior sister and go to the Demon Kingdom to rescue Hua Ruyin.

"You... you don't know? What did Qiqi tell you?" Seeing the confusion on Shen Tianye’s face, Princess Xiangxiang immediately guessed that Princess Qiqi might not have told him the truth.

Gradually, ice floes appeared along both banks of the river, and the shore was frozen with white shards of ice. It was clear the temperature here was exceptionally low. Fortunately, all four of them—Ge Qiyan and the others—were skilled martial artists and could endure such cold, but even they could not withstand such freezing conditions for long.
