“Yes, I like it.”

But only the thing, not the person.

She was not the girl whose first stirrings of love had led her to bury a vague affection deep in her heart.

At least, not all of her was.

Yun Zhaozhao had never been the sort to dawdle. If she could pick something up, she could put it down.

Besides, she already had that foolish fellow, Sheng Xingye.

“By the way, Master, apart from the twelve of us, there are more than three hundred others. They are either descendants of the people from the old stronghold or retired, disabled veterans—”

For some reason, it seemed as though she could smell the fragrance of the garden outside the window. The air had grown fresher, and the colors in the room more vivid. She had always been insensitive to temperature, yet at that moment she actually felt wisps of warmth coursing through her body.

The photograph had happened to capture the license plate of the car behind Li Fan. The glaring Audi stood out starkly, impossible to overlook.

By then, Ling Xun had already reached the back door and was preparing to turn the handle when he suddenly heard Wu Sha’s voice behind him. His body stiffened involuntarily.

At the same time, the Level Four Corroding Demon let out a shrill cry, as though rejoicing. Its deathly white eyes locked onto Ling Xun, seeming to regard him as the perfect prey.

Xu Shuo felt as though his esophagus had been pierced by a thousand needles, but he did not even have time to make a pained expression. Rakshasa had already raised his fist, and Xu Shuo swung the short blade in his hand toward him.

With a thunderous boom, the entrance to the estate turned into a heap of ruins in the blink of an eye, crushing the guard stationed before the other entrance as well.

Whenever matters concerning their honor arose, the first thing they thought of was not resolving them, but covering them up.

Zhu Han took out several spirit-nourishing pills and left them for his mother, reminding her to take a few more whenever she had nothing else to do.

This skill surely possessed some special property. Although he did not know what it was exactly, if it meant he could never contact Angela again, what would his life become from then on?

Li Xinyao thought these people were absolutely hilarious. They had clearly joined forces to cause trouble at her family’s home, yet when they failed to achieve their goal, they turned on one another instead. It was truly entertaining.

Speaking of per-capita income, this time not only the leaders of Yingqiao Town but also those of Hongdu City became nervous.

I could not be as relaxed as she was. All sorts of jumbled thoughts kept churning in my mind.

This was a matter in which risk and opportunity coexisted. However, if Zhou Danian wanted to gain Nie Zhenbang’s attention and approval, it was a risk he had to take.

Their parents were outstanding engineers. Yet no matter how hard they worked, they could not rival the Adjusters. They hoped that their child would also become an outstanding engineer. As a result, I became an Adjuster.

Then the people on both sides joined forces to set up this scheme. They were probably trying to test Ji Kai’s strength and temperament, and determine whether he should be brainwashed and recruited or enticed into a transaction.

I thought that having someone take care of my godmother would not be a bad thing. That way, Bai Ling and I could both rest easy.

I was utterly speechless. I walked over and took a careful look, only to discover that the energy source powering the formation had vanished. The moment I realized this, I was completely stunned.

He smiled and said, “A child? What child?” He put on an innocent expression, as though he knew absolutely nothing about the matter.

“Young man, the bird that sticks its head out gets shot first. Since you wish to shoulder this matter alone, this old man will grant your request. Come with me.”

Ji Changlong spoke calmly, his tone filled with an unmistakably imperative force.

Now it was Wang Zhenyu’s turn to set his mind racing. Was this not exactly like being given a pillow the moment one was ready to sleep? What a coincidence. Could this be a gift falling from the heavens? Wang Zhenyu’s emotions surged like storm-tossed waves. He was overjoyed.

Li Tianyun understood what Sun Hai meant. The solution sounded simple enough, but putting it into practice would be difficult.

The Nanzhang Commandery Princess had eagerly spread the news of Xie Jingchen’s intention to take a secondary wife until everyone knew about it. After the disgrace she had brought upon herself, did they still intend to clean up her mess for her?
