Volume 1, Chapter 48: The Edge of Changle

"...Ugh..." I responded awkwardly, the blush creeping onto my face swallowed by the gathering night.

In a flurry, I finally changed out of my pajamas, grabbed the car keys from the computer desk, and bolted out the door. As I passed the living room, Zhang Zechen's older sister and mother stared in bewilderment at the dashing, arrogant young man sprinting away: Zexi, was that my son, your younger brother Zhang Zechen, that you just saw?

Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo bought two bottles of liquor, retrieved their bags from the locker, walked out of the shopping mall, and headed toward their cousin's home.

"If it were me, I naturally wouldn't let them off so easily!" Lord Yanchun said faintly, casting a glance at Jueying.

If dog thieves raised puppy pups themselves until they grew up and sold them for money, no one would say much. But they shouldn't steal dogs—whose dog isn't a precious treasure?

Walking all the way, looking at the patrolling soldiers along the inner walls, the massive plaza was divided into nine teams patrolling back and forth, each team consisting of twenty men. This was triple the troop strength from his previous visit, which made him raise an eyebrow! Following the steward, he finally arrived at a grand hall.

Gu Fei was awakened by the baby's cries. She rubbed her eyes, checked the time—it was already five o'clock—put on her shoes, got out of bed, and went out to take a look. The confinement nanny was feeding the baby.

Mingyi cooperatively released his grip, watching as I walked out of the classroom. Then, furrowing his brows, he glanced at Qi Qi, who was being scolded by Shu Ni, and walked straight over to Jin Yexuan.

Mia clenched her teeth and tightened her fists so hard that her fingernails dug deep into her palms, barely holding back her tears.

Suddenly, tiny yellow-green starlight truly appeared amidst the flowerbeds, making the entire universe feel so close as if it were right at hand and within reach.

Below the waist, the evening gown was made entirely of sheer tulle. The outer layer of the bodice was crafted from exquisite lace, while the inner lining was made of soft-textured cotton fabric.

How could this be fixed now? Xue girl didn't have any more candy here; where on earth could she find candy for Han Yingjie at this moment?

An Che paced quietly along the city walls, monitoring the progress of the entire South Pass repairs. Along the way, every soldier who crossed his path would halt and pay their respects to him.

Many people went to argue with the security guards and almost came to blows, but before long, the police arrived, forcing those people to calm down and cease their unruly behavior.

"What on earth do you want in order to give this princess the antidote?" Princess Xiazhu asked through clenched teeth.

Meanwhile, Fenghhan, who had just smiled at her, wore a playful expression, yet that smile carried a sense of detachment, almost as if it were his habitual demeanor.

Hearing Zhenrou's low, whispered plea in his arms, Cao Jin paused his hands, which were clenched around her delicate waist, before slowly moving them upward without a moment's hesitation, coming to a rest at the center of her back, and then pressing down.

As a mother, Mu Yunqing felt a surge of pride while simultaneously beginning to worry for all the young women across the world.

"Ahem..." Seeing Mother Ling opposite her looking at her meaningfully, Pei An'an felt embarrassed and hurriedly lowered her head to eat her rice.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunqing could not help but raise her head, looking toward the distant Nine Heavens, her gaze growing deep and profound.

Yet Jiang Ming stubbornly refused to admit his wrongdoing, remaining completely calm and unhurried even inside the celestial prison. This actually stoked a triple flame of anger within the Emperor: Fine then, let's drag this out. Let's see if you start to panic as the wedding day approaches, Your Majesty.

He strode forward and shouted from a distance, "What is going on? Who is bullying you?" His shout was extremely loud, and although it still sounded somewhat youthful, it carried a hint of dominance.

"The route must be changed. Right now, your father and brothers probably already know our destination is Tongguan, and heading there is a death sentence. Therefore, we must take another path!" Yuming said decisively.

"Hahaha... Jiang Yi, you should be very clear about the rules of the Star-Refining Battlefield, right? I might as well tell you, my progress is currently at thirty percent. If you want to catch up, hehe... I'm afraid you won't have the chance." Ren Shaoqing sneered.

As if hearing my cry, Lirad suddenly raised his head from the crook of Joseline's neck, looking forward with an expression of intense agony, and his hands suddenly lost their strength, dropping Joseline hard onto the ground.

Pei Junhao sighed. Could the arrival of the Muchu Group mean that the Pei family's dominance as the leading enterprise in Binfen City was no more? In the past, a single stomp of their foot could cause Binfen City to tremble three times, yet now, such a major event had occurred without them knowing anything about it until receiving the invitation.

If it hadn't been for the veteran generals Wang Rengong and Pei Renji, who felt the risks were too great and withstood the pressure to veto some of the reckless proposals from the hot-headed junior officers, I'm afraid quite a few people would have already charged out of the city.

Before Ah Feng and the others could go to the Empress, someone from the Mu family came to invite Ah Feng over, saying the Empress had summoned her. Because Ehuang was an outsider—in the eyes of the Mu family, Ehuang was an absolute outsider—the Mu family specifically reminded the Empress to summon Ah Feng alone.

There must be a reason why I have been fainting so frequently lately, but I never expected that besides the poison in my body, there would be other factors making me so weak.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world; how can one reap rewards without labor? Nefeli was unwilling to accept charity either; she possessed her own pride.

Because Xiong Ba witnessed a bizarre sight: Xu Chang'an was suspended mid-air, yet he drifted away to the side as lightly as a willow catkin.

"I promised Galinda that I would return to the Hinterlands after delivering the letters." Locke gently stroked Vareela's silky hair.

Feng Yunshang glanced sideways at him. His purpose in demanding this personal guard be assigned to his side was to find out which acquaintance he actually was, yet after observing him for the past few days, Feng Yunshang had a feeling that his intuition might have been wrong.
