Chapter 44: Keeping a Mistress Outside

Sister, the hour is getting late. I will go deliver the invitation to the Grand Commandant's wife first, and we can continue our discussion when I return.
Very well, I shall accompany you.
The two sisters headed straight for Lady Liang's main courtyard.
Lady Liang was a woman who valued decorum. Even if she harbored a mountain of grievances against Yun Zhaozhao, she would never show it in front of outsiders, especially members of her maternal family.
Of course, the primary reason was the fear that Yun Zhaozhao would fly into a fit of madness and throw all caution to the wind.
Her old bones simply could not withstand such a trial.
Chen Qingyi's methods were truly extraordinary; not only did she send Qiao Yu to trick me into the trap, but she actually managed to enlist local malevolent ghosts as reinforcements. Yet, mere malevolent ghosts were nothing in my eyes. I refused to believe their combat prowess could surpass that of Young Master Shen from Shenling.
U moves and Q-Flashes directly onto Lucian's face. As a fragile target, Lucian collapses in less than two seconds, though this does not signify the end of the team fight.
Zhang Tianyang's heart tightened. He never imagined that this great demon king would still remain so terrifying after being sealed for over a thousand years. If the three Elven Matriarchs had been in prime condition, they might have been able to put up a fight, but now they were completely immobile, practically no different from cripples.
The grandmother and grandson made a living off a gradually declining record store, which the grandfather claimed was the only property left behind by her parents. In today's world of advanced internet technology, record stores could turn no profit. After deducting rent and utilities from the monthly earnings, there was barely enough left to keep them fed and clothed.
The car door opened, and He Nanxi slowly crawled out. Her legs were still weak, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Lu Min's belt, embroidered with gold thread on a black background, was wrapped multiple times around the brown stone before being tied around Zinuo's waist.
What do I look like? Jing Jian could not help but wonder in bewilderment. Hadn't he changed completely and utterly? What on earth was Chu Yueting thinking?

Although Panda appeared calm on the surface, his hands were already clenched into fists. It was obvious he also considered this Mr. Su before them to not be a simple character, for Su Zhe had seen right through everything.
Not only that, but the Fifth Elder's petrified arms, having suffered such a massive blow, actually began to crack like shattering armor, and a piercing pain caused him to shiver uncontrollably.
Xu Ying'er bit down without the slightest intention of holding back. In an instant, droplets of fresh blood trickled down Wu Xiaoxian's shoulder. Feeling this, Wu Xiaoxian hurriedly forced away the destructive force that was autonomously guarding the meridians throughout his body, terrified of injuring the person before him.
It turned out that the Hua Tian Sect's grand competition was divided into two main parts. One part grouped together the disciples who had joined the sect over the most recent two generations to compete, while the other group consisted of all the disciples of the Hua Tian Sect competing together. Because Song Yun had joined the Hua Tian Sect only recently, he naturally had to participate in the newcomer division's matches.
Yan Luoxi did not even have the strength to bicker with him anymore. Emerging from the bathroom for the nth time, she collapsed onto the sofa with a pale face and closed her eyes weakly.
Amidst desolate and despairing cries, she watched her father's casket pushed into the sea of fire, reduced to ashes, and vanishing forever.
It is very dangerous here. The Xiao family will not let you go, Li Yun said anxiously upon hearing this.
It was indeed a trip well-taken. This journey to the Great Yin Divine Temple had yielded a bountiful harvest for Lin Tao! At this thought, Lin Tao chuckled heartily.
The power of dark water compared to the origin of water was much like the flame of Vermilion Bird compared to the origin of fire. One could say that, apart from the origin of water, the power of dark water was the most formidable water power in existence.
The man spoke with righteous and unquestionable assurance. Lin Xiangwan gritted her teeth and endured for a moment, thinking that since it was going to Ye Nan anyway and not benefiting a stranger, she turned back, picked up an apple, and began to pare it.
If you want to devour the Flame Spirit, get past me first! Jiu Wuxue, who had just finished, sharply hollered. While rapidly charging forward, his fists transformed into palms, striking through the air with piercing screeches, swiftly whipping up a fierce gale all around.
Upon returning to the Martial Tribulation Continent, Song Yun did not hesitate at all, directly pushing his speed to the absolute limit as he rushed toward the direction of the Hua Tian Sect. If it were before, reaching the Hua Tian Sect would have taken about half a day, but with Song Yun's current strength, returning there was a matter of merely an hour or three quarters.
Kaine was a classmate in the same class as him, got along very well with Stephen, and usually had a rather bad reputation, liking to bully weaker students.

Back then, his choice, his cowardice, and his selfishness caused a boy to lose a father and turned him into someone long accustomed to licking his wounds in solitude. He looked back and offered a slight smile—one that was radiant, yet tinged with a trace of lingering regret in his heart.
Brother A-cheng, morning. Ming Fan squinted his eyes, pulled over a chair, and sat down, looking as though he had not yet woken up.
My madness seemed to infect some of my comrades, who roared as they met the enemy, facing death unflinchingly and completely prepared to fight for their lives.
However, the news had published pieces on Ye Zhen and the Holy Master. Ye Zhen was not overly shocked because he had already anticipated this. It was not as if he had never thought about it before; he had considered it long ago, knowing it was a possibility—it was just a matter of how high the probability was. Thinking to himself, Ye Zhen calmly said, Yes, it is incomplete. Nor was he afraid of them.
He asked Ye Zhen if he was hungry. Feeling a bit hungry, Ye Zhen watched as he opened Mother Ye's lunchbox to feed him. Ye Zhen had not reached the point where he could not move his hands at all, but lifting them now caused pain connected straight to his back, making things rather difficult.
Supported by Ying'er, I felt quite helpless. Because no matter what, I was still her senior martial brother, and a man at that.
Even across some distance, Huijue could still clearly see that this Bodhi seed not only exuded a faint Buddhist charm all around it, but deep within the seed, the figure of a Buddha seemed faintly seated in meditation.
Mingcheng informed Minglou of the plan finalized with Uncle Zhou. As he told him, Mingcheng added that Uncle Zhou had proposed another condition.
Williams explained it with remarkable clarity. This was LSET Corporation—or more precisely, the Oriental Trading Department—stepping out into the world for the very first time to proclaim to outsiders that this long-dormant Eastern giant was from now on engaging in commercial activities with the world.
