Volume One, Chapter 55: The Dream
"You dare lay a hand on me? Aren't you afraid my father—"
"Your father? Once the matter is set in stone, do you think he would dare to make a public spectacle of this to demand justice for you? I'd wager that, for the sake of his own career, he would eagerly deliver you right to my doorstep and demand that I take responsibility for you." With a sudden stride forward, he seized her hand.
"Why is it that you can stray and do things to wrong me, yet I cannot? You get to run around and play, but demand absolute fidelity from me?" The more Lu Qi spoke, the angrier she became.
Imperial Concubine Yi was left speechless. She had assumed that after so much time had passed, the Seventeenth Princess would no longer dwell on it, yet who could have known she would still come to demand a clear and definitive explanation? But how on earth was she supposed to explain the reason behind this to her?
Watching them all act as if they had done something deeply shameful, Su Liangqiu didn't even look back as she sprinted straight down the stairs. The gloom that had previously weighed on her heart suddenly dissipated, turning into a state of sheer delight.
Gu Qianbai spotted the actor walking toward An Qianqian—wasn't that precisely An Qianqian's current manager?
Her casual use of "my home" caused Rong Yuting's brows to relax, and the thin lips that had been tightly pressed together curved upward involuntarily.
Gu Sheng lowered her head, pondering for a moment, a faint smile touching the corner of her lips. Did she even have the option to refuse?
What Rong Chengshi had never anticipated was that in the very next instant, a sharp blade was coldly and steadily held against his throat, and the person wielding the sword was none other than Xu Yuan.
Minister Zheng Duoji was a censor who routinely offered admonitions on every matter to Fenghua, and Fenghua usually heeded them. Yet he truly had not expected to step on a tiger's tail this time, leaving him no choice but to plead drunkenness and retreat in discomfiture.
Whether going out to the movies or having a meal, the only reason it brought joy was because the two of them were together.
When she extinguished her fourth cigarette in the ashtray, she crawled out of bed, picked up the business card Yu Wanin had left behind, and tossed it straight into the trash can.
The scenery before them suddenly opened up. They were positioned in the middle of a hundred-meter-tall cliff face, facing a mountain that had been completely hollowed out.
Looking at the shocked Ao Kongling, Zhang Daoran offered a soft chuckle. Now that Zhang Daoran's form had transformed, everything in the mortal world was beyond China's reach.
"Beauty Qin, if you have the ability, why don't you take him away with you?" Fairy Luofu pictured Xu Jiayi's endearing, smiling face in her mind, and a warmth bloomed in her heart.
"No, I don't know what you're talking about!" Paradise tried to push him away, but failed to budge him.
With the relentless downpour and Zhanjiang stricken by floods, there were simply no boats traveling between Chucheng and Jinhe Prefecture. How on earth had he managed to run all the way here from Yunzhou?
Things had already reached this juncture; if he still failed to understand, it could only be said that this garrison commander was asking for his own trouble. Anxious and terrified as he was, fortunately, his mind remained clear, and he could distinguish priorities and urgency.
The sun was high in the sky, and the wind was fierce today. At Number Seven, Half-Stone Street, the giant banner of the Duomen Escort Agency fluttered violently in the wind.
"Thud, thud, thud!" Accompanied by a series of deafening explosions, the zombie giant was blasted into countless fragments.
He slowly turned his head, and suddenly a trail of clear tears streamed down. His lips trembled, yet he could not utter a sound.
This is... the coordinate I left behind in the original place? The enemy was actually able to use this to forge a pathway straight to my exclusive spatial realm? Yuan Chen's heart was filled with a shock beyond measure.
Han Yun split his mouth in a grin and was just about to say something when a voice suddenly echoed from outside the door.
Lu Zhineng was momentarily stunned. At that very moment, she could not fathom what the look in her son's eyes represented. In her own mind, everything she had done was for her son's sake. She wanted to give him the most magnificent future, and naturally, she had to sweep away every single obstacle in his path.
Zhang Meng wept bitterly as she tightly gripped Zhang Yunshan's hand, while a wave of unease churned in Li Fan's heart. The jade pendant from moments before had filled him with an ominous foreboding.
