Chapter 50: Am I monopolizing you?
Luo Yunmian quickly withdrew her gaze and raised her eyes to look at Lin Ze. He was dressed in a meticulously tailored, light blue high-end custom suit, with his tie knotted immaculately and his hair neatly combed back, making him look both capable and energetic.
For some reason, this appearance instantly reminded Luo Yunmian of Fu Tingshen.
Luo Yunmian’s gaze turned sharp. "Have you been investigating me?"
Lin Ze’s grip on the water glass tightened slightly; he had not expected Luo Yunmian to be so sharp.
"No, Miss Luo..."
One of the men in black slowly walked toward the one who no longer belonged to their faction. He walked so slowly that the others who had been relieved from duty grew impatient, shook their heads, and left first.
Because the White Sun, upon entering Bai Suxin's body, carried an extremely high temperature and erupted with a powerful force that continuously battered her heart.
This was his first time seeing a rank-ten spiritual plant, and without a moment's hesitation, he had plucked the Lotus King.
"Magazines have to calculate costs too. If every story consumes too much on interview expenses, there won't be any profit left if sales drop later on," Fang Rigui chimed in, slipping seamlessly into the role of a drama queen.
Measures such as modifying indigenous administration, building local institutions, and recruiting local commoners to form local security forces quickly consolidated their hard-won victory.
Upon hearing about the withdrawal, they were all furious and reluctant to leave, because life within these Four Divine Suns was indeed exceptionally pleasant.
The system closed its mouth, looking at Qi Xiu with a helpless gaze that practically screamed, "You are being completely unreasonable," and let out a sigh, stopping just short of saying: You were the one who wanted to listen, and you were the one who interrupted; you certainly have a lot of demands.
Below, the massive body of the meatball beast was still twitching convulsively, and its tentacles were twisting wildly. It clearly had not recovered from the paralysis of the purple lightning, and the layer of slime on its surface had dried up under the electric shock, leaving pale yellow marks tinged with small burnt black spots that looked utterly disgusting.
Cang Su and Zhao Li had been comrades-in-arms in the Feather Forest Guard in their early years, and later both served as Commanders of the Palace Gentlemen in the Gentleman's Bureau. Their families naturally had frequent interactions, and Xun Lan was thoroughly familiar with Zhao Wan.
"No, you can't..." Lin Xiaoxi’s dazed eyes suddenly snapped back to reality. Looking at Cecil, who wore a expressionless face but harbored a sharp glint in his eyes, she struggled in Chu Ci's arms and cried out.
"Xie Zikun! What you are doing is illegal!" Tears streamed down Su Su’s face as she kicked and flailed her hands and feet at this pervert.
Compared to the others, Shen Mingyuan was extremely happy. At last, a heavy stone had been lifted from his chest, and the weight in his heart was finally somewhat relieved.
Although Yelidulan felt deeply resentful and unwilling, she had no choice but to comply with Li Yuanhao's wishes. That night, Li Yuanhao stayed in Yelidulan's palace, and the next day he had Zhao Wannwan officially named as the secondary empress.
It took Lin Wan'er and Ling Feng nearly three hours of frantic treatment before they managed to pull Lin Chuxia back from the brink of death.
However, facing Ouyang Xueqi’s increasingly frail and aging body, Fan Yanyan’s words seemed pale and feeble. Ouyang Xueqi merely nodded out of politeness, her brow remaining deeply furrowed with worry.
"An eyesore," Zhao Tuo glanced at the lifeless corpse, a trace of disdain flashing through his eyes.
Ever since Fang Hua arrived in the Later Zhou dynasty, these people had completely broken away from Yelü Qi, treating Fang Hua as their absolute master and following her every command.
People say that if you tell a lie enough times, even you will start to believe it is true. If I repeat these words a few more times, will I truly stop liking you, Lan Xiangting?
"I know you are tempted, but you are unwilling to speak up first. Sigh, who else but me could be so soft-hearted toward you? Let me speak for you then." Xuanfeng was already quite amused seeing Ding Jiuxi’s hesitant dilemma. It wasn't that he stubbornly insisted on waiting for Ding Jiuxi to ask before speaking; he was simply enjoying keeping him in suspense.
"Actually, you should feel fortunate to have a few brothers around you willing to risk their lives for you, and a father who looks out for you in every possible way. You don't have to worry about a thing, because someone will always step in and handle everything for you!" I smiled at him from the bottom of my heart.
