Chapter 47

Luohu nodded. Though it wasn’t a kowtow, the gesture was weighty—facing Master Zong Kun of the Shan Sect, he would at most kneel on one knee. Undoubtedly, for someone so proud, reaching this point was no small feat.

Nan Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, and she paused for a moment. He hadn’t called her “Nan Nan” in a long time; since that occasion, he had always called her “Precious.” Now, those two syllables felt strangely unfamiliar.

The film’s budget was considerable; they could manage with dramas and such, but movies were truly a different matter.

Nan Chen’s lips curled noticeably, her eyes and brows alight with a bright, genuine smile—one that clearly conveyed her happiness.

In the stillness of the imperial garden, the echo of this voice was especially clear. Zhao Qijue’s eyebrows lifted, and an indistinct emotion flashed in his eyes.

Ye Ran said that the dense forest stood like a labyrinth. Since the markings they made were destroyed, the search lasted a full seven days without locating the base. Only when Yanmen and the imperial envoy Cao Tianqi arrived, and Shen Liangyi acted without justification, did they finally cease.

Don’t blame me for being cruel, ruthless, merciless, or sadistically tormenting you! What kind of treatment is it for a professional killer to have to expend so much effort tracking you down like a hunting dog?

When Cui Qi fought Long Bo’s men, Yao Runeng peeked from behind the door. He was similarly clad in battle armor and armed, but he dared not rush out. Because he knew that if he did, it meant death.

“The garden scenery usually relies on exquisite craftsmanship. But here, it’s different—it’s more of a replication, carrying a hint of artistry,” Xu Yuan remarked, which was hardly praise.

Su Man first accompanied Li Yuanfang back to class, which helped ease the mood among those present. Once they left, the remaining few began grumbling about the unfairness of the punishment.

These words seemed etched deep in Lu Junkai’s heart, his mind full of Morpheus; these days had been particularly difficult.

No wonder he always ordered Zhiyu to follow her. When Zhiyu didn’t, her husband grew especially angry—likely feeling the Crown Prince’s authority was undermined.

Firstly, it wasn’t necessary; the court couldn’t afford it. Secondly, from Jiangzhou to Kaiyuan, it took about three days by land and only a day and a night by water. At such a distance, the emperor could never allow Jiangzhou to become Taiyuan.

“I didn’t commit a crime; the plaintiff acted voluntarily! The plaintiff is absent today and cannot prove my guilt!” Gu Meibing refused to confess easily.

She had been pregnant for a year, foregoing beauty treatments and manicures, eating all sorts of supplements daily to ensure proper nutrition for the child. Maintaining herself like this was already commendable.

Southerners would never understand the northern pleasure of a warm bed in winter, sleeping soundly until dawn—that feeling was pure bliss, like eating chilled watermelon in summer, with lasting satisfaction, unwilling to rise.

“Time is running short; the enemy’s cavalry is about to pass through here! Let’s set an ambush!” Chen Yunxuan said, leading everyone to hide and gather strength, ready to strike a fatal blow at the approaching enemies.

She wanted to visit her mother, who had given birth to her. She was worried, but if she went, what if her cover was blown? So she endured and never left the ward.

Her two sons lived not only in this city but in others as well. The children were capable and didn’t require much worry. They returned to visit when they had time, or called or video chatted otherwise. That was their usual life.

“That old man is ruthless, using such means to seal you away—surely waiting for the right moment to turn you into a puppet.”

Yuan Zhi didn’t know where to choose for the date, and given their special identities, it was even harder to decide. They finally settled on their own cinema.

Amid the students’ cheers, several teachers joined in singing, creating a joyous atmosphere between teachers and students.

It was no wonder Xi Zirong overthought things; mainly, he noticed that Xu Su didn’t care much about him. He never saw her pay attention to his habits or lifestyle.

When it came to Zhang Jingyao’s group, those who had retreated rested nearby or caught their breath, all watching him closely—to see how the current top marksman would fare under these circumstances.

Xu Yi took him back to the cave mansion to cultivate and clear his meridians. After five days, his spiritual power finally flowed smoothly again.

“Th-thank you.” Yu Zhi moved back and forth without looking up. Because Xu Luoyang wasn’t sunny or confident, she could not accept praise normally.

Zhong Su remained silent for a long while, sensing the invisible force field around him dissipate, and he no longer lost control of his emotions.

The arena buzzed with noise; fans shouted various slogans, their cheers filling the venue. Among them, Yu Zhi’s fans were the loudest.

On the sofa, Tang Yuwei held a bag of chips in one hand, patting the armrest with the other, laughing until she nearly doubled over.

“Mimi is only four years old this year. Didn’t you ask Mimi?” Zhao Chuning still smiled, but it was painfully sharp.

Lu Xia had never known that even a playboy had moments of serious solemnity. If he knew the heavy responsibilities he bore, why had he been so unruly and carefree before?

Though they dared not be deadly, seeing how cowardly they were, frightening them a little surely wouldn’t cause trouble.

On the screen, a blurred figure appeared through the rain. Though indistinct, Ye Yan immediately recognized her.

Brazenly jumping out to steal money, and doing so to the extent that even the movie king was left speechless—only Zhang Jin could claim such a feat.

Ye Yuan stepped forward to inspect. The man was beyond dead, covered in wounds, his death gruesome—almost dismembered by a mad knife attack, with no part of his body left intact.

Starting the car, it slowly pulled up beside Su Xin. Before the window rolled down, Zhou Zhou sensed several watchful gazes.

Xu You had examined the corpses of the rangers she had ambushed and killed, discovering their skulls resembled those of Western Europeans. This prompted her to prepare in advance, avoiding the uncertain future of being persecuted and ostracized.
