Chapter 126: The Left Sway

Lu Jialan’s expression shifted. What was that fat man implying? Did she not recognize her? Lu Jialan had long considered Wang Heng her lifelong rival; she had chosen to remain in Yizhou rather than return to the capital solely because of the unresolved resentment in her heart. And yet, it seemed as if she had forgotten her entirely. What could be more infuriating than being ignored? Had Lu Jialan herself not changed so much, she might not have been this enraged. But as it stood—

Jiang Ye was thus forced into a corner, stealthily hiding behind a stone pillar with her son for the very first time. She watched as Ye Musheng entered, only to rush back out in a panic when he failed to find anyone.

A rhinoceros? Could that be the role she had just been about to choose, only to have it snatched away by someone else? She had no idea why Su Jin was so curious about the items being loaded onto the ship, but she knew one thing for certain: she had stumbled upon a god of wealth today. Otherwise, who knew how long it would have taken to sell all these tiger-head shoes?

The attention of the crowd was fixed entirely on Dai Libin, so no one noticed the change in Meng Zhiyu.

Tatsumi had merged completely with Incursio, unable to separate from it. To decouple him from the armor, he would have to be transformed into an existence similar to Shirou Emiya.

The atmosphere inside and outside the plaza grew stagnant. Countless gazes fell upon the two figures locked in an embrace, and everyone could not help but sigh, their hearts filled with envy.

Once this figure was revealed, it stirred envy in some, anger in others, and jealousy in many more. In short, Wang Zhen found himself squarely at the center of a storm.

As it turned out, the kidnapping attempt had turned the Lantern Festival into a chaotic mess. If the situation escalated and he were impeached, the Prefect might lose the Emperor’s favor, effectively ending his political career.

For some reason, as he cast a glance at that flower, he found himself inexplicably leaning forward, possessed by an urge to touch it.

"Heh, your expression is truly terrifying," Wang Ning chuckled, dismissing Wang Tu’s words entirely.

For some reason, when he met Lin Yi’s calm gaze, he felt a vague sense that Lin Yi cared for nothing, as if everything were as tranquil as still water.

Wang Dao’s head throbbed. One lesson was enough; he dared not challenge Li Ruoying to another drinking contest. With a twitch of his brow, he stood up and collapsed onto a long sofa.

"Those who use this kind of fighting style are usually too proud, which is why they refuse the Sixth Master’s invitation, isn't it? Two tigers cannot share one mountain. Even if he were on our side, it might not be a good thing. Besides, given Sun Zhongmou’s character, it’s unlikely," Li Qing said with a shrug.

I then turned to Fang Chengzhou, who stood before me, and asked him once more if he knew exactly what it was that the Heaven-Defiers were trying to resurrect.

The cat landed before me, rather than leaping at my face as I had anticipated.

In the Forbidden Zone of Life, the Dark Princess and the others gathered once more. The leaders of these alien races had received several intelligence reports, all of which were surprisingly consistent: Shi Feng intended to launch a surprise attack on Desperate Mountain.

Of course, the most critical part of this agreement was the division of resources, which was the highest priority of all.

No sooner had Tu Yunbin finished speaking than an argument broke out at the entrance of the nightclub. Then, Yin Kuangfeng stormed in with a group of men, even accompanied by Huang Quan, one of the Four Marquises of the Red Gang.

"Haha, Liu Xu is my man in Lin County; he was the one who told me!" Cao Hancheng answered truthfully, fearing that Bu Fan might misunderstand his intentions.

According to Wei Chuxiu’s description, he and Rong Chen were no longer enemies; in fact, there was now a sense of mutual appreciation between them.

The twelve "Moons" could not truly harm the groom and his wedding party, but they went through the motions of a scuffle. Even Gu Mo was forced to take a few hits.
