Chapter 91: Possession

I was sincere enough, so I only gave a slight nod.

Then I turned the child’s face away and looked into the pitch-black room, a cold sneer curling at the corners of my mouth.

“Don’t think people like you are trustworthy. The old man inside once promised me he would save my mother. And what happened? Didn’t he still use the cruelest method to leave her in that coffin? If you hadn’t made such a scene that day, believe me...”

“So the one with the bigger fist gets to make the rules. That does sound rather good. In that case, let me be the one to set them,” Ximen Zhuixue said with a faint smile.

And now Chen Kui could finally get some proper rest. The next day, Chen Kui returned to the realm of Twilight. Fortunately, Zhou Guoqiang, Zhou Jian, Zhou Hao, Wang Kexin, and the others, after a brief conversation, also entered Twilight.

Zhou Hao suddenly leaped in front of Chen Kui, and before Chen Kui’s astonished eyes, he swung a fierce punch.

But right now he was racing against time; even with the ability to rewind death, he still had to race against time.

The two youths beside General Venomous Snake, at the instant the fireworks exploded, received his signal and vanished from the pavilion in a single movement.

The silver metal looked extraordinarily beautiful, even radiating a kind of energy and the crackling sound of electricity.

The dried grass that Mutai and the others had brought back yesterday was piled here, and so were some wild chrysanthemums.

Inside the dim workshop, Chen Kui held his breath and concentrated. Between his hands, the sewing gloves, thin as cicada wings, had seeped into his palms, making them seem almost nonexistent.

Green Warbler Residence had always followed this rule; there was no reason to break it for anyone. In the past, even Shen Zhi had never been able to step one foot into his courtyard, let alone some girl who had come shamelessly trying to claim kinship.

After blocking Qin Jian’s vortex drill, Awakening Tiger began to move his feet, resisting it and trying to slowly shift the vortex drill aside.

Yang Xiao wanted to teach Aunt Yue a lesson, but because of those two pieces of jade, he never managed to succeed.

When Shen Kang saw how sincere Bai Qichang was, he could not bring himself to refuse the candy. He took two or three bites and swallowed it in haste. Wang Luchao endured the same torment while forcing a smile.

But all his efforts were in vain; his mouth moved several times, yet not a single word came out.

The heaviness in Jiang Dongyan’s chest was growing ever more severe. Even Gu Nansheng did not know who else might know?

After changing the candles, Han Yuxi curiously walked behind Li Zexuan and glanced at the white sheet before him, which was covered in all kinds of symbols, and asked.

In truth, Wolong Ridge was nothing more than a smoke screen that Liu Bowen had thrown out to preserve the eternal dynasty of the Ming.

Louis turned into a blur and, together with Luffy, bounced around inside the castle, trying to force this outfit onto him.

Their envy was plain to see. They understood all too well that once this film was released, it would not only cement the emperor’s status as a true national master director, but also raise the painter of sorrowful fans to an even higher level.

“Last night I dreamed of many things—”

I changed the subject. I would never make use of her. Her loyalty and innocence, everything about her, made me feel that she was a fragile younger sister I needed to protect. Toward the girl, I truly felt the affection of an elder sister for a younger one, so there could be no question of violating anything.

When the two of them left, they both forgot to pay, leaving only the pitiful shopkeeper staring at a table full of dishes and sighing over and over.

Luo Qingxue said nothing, merely looking at Luo Shao. She knew that Zhang Lu was scheming again, and when the time came, Luo Shao would be the one crying.

“Come on, let’s go to the ancestral hall and talk. Old fellows, all of you, come along.” The old man wrapped the jade pendant back up and stuffed it into his pocket. With one hand on his cane and the other pulling Chen Chumo, he set off.

Qian the Fatty finally understood why Long Qing had sent Xia Qingqing away. If he were to make a move, it would indeed be far too bloody. Just thinking of those hands that could crush steel striking a human body made him shudder.
