60. Cocoon Woman Village (Part Seventeen)

The auction was gradually reaching its climax, and under the deliberate arrangement of the Eastern Emperor family, the value of the auctioned items was climbing higher and higher, entering a full-scale upward surge.

Euryale tightly grasped Shoya’s hand, running all the way, vaulting over walls and dashing across ridges with unstoppable momentum, charging in a straight line toward a specific point.

"Even for a formal trial, we should be taken out to be interrogated. Since when does the interrogation start right inside the cell?" Mu Qingqing stiffened her neck, putting on a brave face as she spoke.

"I think you are just trying to fool our True Lord, aren't you? You have neither the people nor the words to back it up—how do you expect us to believe you?" Yelu Dan’s expression darkened, and as he spoke, he drew his horse-cleaver.

Even as a secondary residence, it spanned over five acres. The hedge-woven courtyard walls, complemented by patches of greenery, gave it the look of a park from the outside. Within the estate, several stone paths and Japanese-style buildings made it stand out remarkably among the surrounding luxury mansions.

The young stall owner felt a sense of indignation, yet was utterly helpless. In a certain sense, modern technologies had gradually phased out manual craftsmen.

The clinic that Xia Haoran single-handedly founded officially opened its doors today. As old Beijingers who had also received profound kindnesses from Xia Haoran, how could they possibly not come?

Feeling the stiffness of her body, Yan Tan slowly ceased his movements. He withdrew from her lips with a slight breath, though his hands still firmly imprisoned her shoulders.

For Xia Haoran’s cultivation, medical skills, methods, and personal charm had all deeply shocked him.

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, and ginkgo leaves fluttered down from the tree one after another. She extended a jade-like finger to gently catch one. The golden fan lingered and danced in her palm before she suddenly parted her lips into a smile—bright-eyed and white-toothed, dazzling as spring blossoms, and extraordinarily touching.

I slowly walked back to my quarters. Dongzi was on the phone, his voice sounding urgent, his brow furrowed from time to time. In the end, I only heard Dongzi say he would go immediately.

Finding a busy man like Su Yaoxi was no easy task, but the Su brothers shared a deep friendship with Yuan Zhenxia, so he had given Yuan Zhenxia a special telephone number.

The old folks’ way of conferring was quite peculiar; they communicated entirely through sign language. This sign language was said to have originally been used by deaf people, but was later adopted by the village elders to discuss confidential matters. In any case, the village rule dictated that one could not learn sign language until reaching the age of forty, leaving no fear of the younger generation figuring out what it meant.

"Next year's matters will be dealt with next year. For now, peacefully spend the New Year in Sang Family Dock." Sang San'er glanced at the clock; it was time to call everyone for dinner.

"I, Roy, admit defeat today. I will escort you out, with the sole condition that you spare Lolita—she is unimportant." After all, the commander was a commander, and he still possessed a shred of gentlemen's grace.

At this point, as if suddenly recalling something, he frowned and assumed a rather grave expression. Yuan Zhenxia and Su Yaoxi both looked toward Guto.

The Barcelona second-team had quickly moved up in support. Xavi received the ball outside the penalty box on the right flank and squared it to the center. Ronaldinho, who had just stepped out of the box, turned and struck the ball directly. Although the angle was tricky, it unfortunately lacked a bit of power and was punched away by Čech with a single fist.

From the corner of his eye, Doro could clearly see the lifeless carcasses of several dead grubs lying near the eggshell not far away.

As this man embraced, kissed, and caressed her, her body grew even more limp and feeble, as if the last ounce of strength in her body was draining away with every touch and kiss from him. Her delicate form involuntarily collapsed softly against the man's chest.

At the cold command of the young man bathed in the lamplight at the very center, flames suddenly appeared, followed by the sound of short, fierce burning.

Those men surnamed Yi and Wang were both members of the Northern District Branch of the Beacon Fire Hall; naturally, they would side with their own people. How could they possibly stand up for her and Young Master Qiao?

After handling these matters, Lin Han finally found some leisure. Affairs in the Vine Emperor City were mostly managed by the White Witch, and when necessary, Luo Jiaxuan would also step forward, sparing Lin Han any worry. Lou Yu had stayed here for a few days before returning to the Void Ancient City, and Lin Han decided to officially begin seclusion.

His heart hammered wildly, but instead of fear, he felt a surge of rage. Wielding a silver hoe in both hands, he prepared to continue fighting the giant white-eared wolf, but Li Le’s hand had already pressed down upon his shoulder. "You are injured. Let me bandage you first; leave it to me." Fan Taohua remained utterly fearless, yet unable to overrule Li Le, she was forcibly pulled back to stand beside a boulder.

With the three of them joining forces, Fang Yang was firmly suppressed. No matter how powerful his sword intent was, while he could block one person, he could not withstand the attacks of all three.

"Condorelli? Condorelli?" Ye Feng muttered the name twice under his breath, instantly remembering something. "It's him!" When he looked up, the old man had long since vanished. Ye Feng had no intention of chasing after him; instead, he resumed his ordinary pace and looked around as he walked.

For one who does not yet wish to return home, having more companions only breeds deeper loneliness. Many topics concerning me are stories I myself have heard.

Stepping over the bodies of the security guards, Han Xin walked step by step toward the head of the security with a faint smile on his face. Every step he took was firm and powerful, giving the security chief the sheer illusion that the ground trembled slightly with each advance Han Xin made.

Compared to Dong Liangru, who was plunging down from the air, Cao Ye, standing firmly on the river surface, undoubtedly suffered a disadvantage in momentum. However, when he sneered and looked up at the descending fiery dragon spear, anyone who could read his expression would never have imagined that a single move like this could defeat him.
