Chapter 25: The Twenty-Fifth Question

Even if Tantai Mingyue looked at him as if he were a lunatic, the Great Emperor Gouchen would be so furious that he would slap him and then fight him to the death.

The servants and nannies were perceptive; having seen the couple at each other's throats not long ago, they were happy to see them laughing together today and joined in enthusiastically to amuse the child.

"Right, if I can't strike, can I at least dodge?" Wild Wolf stared at Lu Feiyang, let out a loud laugh, and clenched his fists.

It was unexpected that they could actually track Guo Jie down here. However, given that Guo Jie had been in Ningzhou City for so many years—and especially after having been shot at by the Zhang family recently—it was clear that the Zhang family knew a thing or two about him.

This kiss lasted until the world seemed to fade into darkness. Isabella was already a Lesser God by now, so the two of them no longer needed to break their embrace for any reason.

To attempt to withstand such firepower head-on would be nothing more than suicide.

Ma Xingyao pushed the door open, and Tantai Mingyue followed him inside. A layer of ash already covered the floor, and the room was in a state of utter chaos, with tables overturned and chairs toppled.

However, Annie's personality was hard to change overnight. The most important thing now was Chen Mengying's situation, so Lin Xifan hurried downstairs, started his car, and gave chase.

"Chengqian, I've said that this time you must listen to me, okay?" She didn't look at him, but her firm tone made Yan Chengqian understand her resolve. This was her chance for redemption; she could no longer run away.

The forty-one mysterious stones lay on the ground, each one crystal clear and glowing with a faint blue light, as brilliant as the stars in the deep night. Everyone let out gasps of amazement. Cong Han had never seen so many mysterious stones before, and he was captivated by the beautiful sight.

"Thud." Xiaowu was caught off guard and collided head-on with something, falling to the ground. Her right leg, which hit the floor first, throbbed with sharp pain.

From the doctor, he learned that the girl had been discharged yesterday. The doctor had advised her to stay for observation for a few more days, but she had insisted on leaving.

As soon as Li Rui opened the door, the room was plunged in darkness without a glimmer of light. She switched on the lights in confusion, thinking Qianqian hadn't returned yet, only to find her sitting silently on the balcony, so still that she didn't even notice Li Rui had come home.

Fang Cheng’s eyes twitched; he was deeply impressed by the extravagance of the Martial Artist Association. Behind them lay a vast area with white marble flooring, fifty meters wide and two hundred meters long. There were no floors above, and looking up, one could see the ceiling directly.

Wolf Treasure stepped back bit by bit, watching as the birds of prey dived toward him, growling and snarling in an attempt to drive them away.

Lina regained her senses, too excited to speak. She wiped her hands on her skirt, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of invitation.

Li Mingming’s mouth twitched, and she hesitated... ultimately deciding not to tell her parents and brother about the killing, to avoid causing her family any unnecessary worry.

Pablo Longmore greeted Kobi, saying, "Hello, have we met before? You look very familiar!" Pablo gazed at him intently; it was clear from his tone that he wasn't just making small talk.

Before them lay a skeleton as white as jade, half-reclining beside a pool five zhang in diameter. A dark green short sword pierced its skull, pinning it firmly to the ground in a truly eerie fashion.

Zhen Xi gave Yu Chenxi a "I understand you" look and winked at him. Everyone burst into laughter, and in that moment, the hidden worry, anxiety, self-reproach, and guilt they felt for her were effortlessly dissolved through their banter.

Zhen Xi sat in her seat, smiling faintly. An interesting person; it seemed life wouldn't be too boring after all.

"Qianxi, I was afraid you might be hungry, so I made some tomato and egg fried rice. I’m not sure if you like it," Beirui said, handing the lunchbox to Qianxi.

The others returned to their respective rooms to attend to their own affairs, and the world lapsed back into silence—a silence so profound it was chilling.

"Alright, let's go. Mina should have finished processing all the paperwork by now." An Ruchu’s gaze dimmed, and she offered a forced smile.

After watching in a daze for a moment, Luga allowed his attendants to help him slowly don his purple fur-trimmed cloak, and then, under the escort of his guards, he exited through the back door of the council chamber.

This wasn't a question of who married whom; it was a question of gender! She didn't mind, but surely she did? Zhen Xi never remembered having any lesbian tendencies.

However, that worked out perfectly; otherwise, it would have been hard to pin an unforgivable crime on him.

Yu Ling was stunned for a moment before realizing that the ancients had the legend of the "Heavenly Dog devouring the moon," and in those days, every household would beat drums and gongs to "drive it away," a custom that had evolved into setting off firecrackers today.

"Su Dingfang! Whether you die or not is for me, your grandfather, to decide!" He spurred his horse forward and engaged the two of them in battle.

In this case, there didn't seem to be any major issues with the victim's relationships, nothing serious enough to lead to murder over love or money. He could basically be excluded from the suspect list, Wu Yong thought thoughtfully.

To Shu Xiaofeng’s surprise, the cultivators of the Heaven Swallowing Sect stood up one by one.

Qi Shaoyan’s mother had prepared far too much food. Even though Yu Ling tried her best to eat so as not to be wasteful, she still couldn't finish it.

The powerhouses of Qianyue City, the upper echelons of the Startling Dragon Palace, and various factions in the surrounding area also stirred at the news, converging from all directions.

To be honest, Qingchen stepping in to stop Hua Qianwu was not something Mu Yi had considered. Originally, he thought that if anyone were to intervene, it would be the White Tiger Flag Bearer, as they were at odds, but he never expected the last person who should have intervened to do so.

"I can handle it." Yu Ling didn't dare speak for other things, but when it came to ghosts, she had absolute confidence.

"Liars, get out of Boxian Town! We don't want a liar as our City Lord! Get out!" The townspeople shouted in a chorus of voices.

Seeing this, Huizhu laughed and teased, "Sister Geng, aren't you making a fool of your younger sister? Look, even this girl Yuanyan is bullying me now; how bold." When Yuanyan heard this, she looked terrified and quickly apologized, "Niohuru Gege, this servant deserves death." At those words, Huizhu and Suxin exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

Xi Qin wanted to reach out and touch it, but halfway there, she was glared back by Xiyan. Meanwhile, the one who had been under surveillance, Ji Xinyu, didn't have the luxury of idle time; she remained transfixed, staring intently at the patch of "flattened tree bark" on the ground.
