Volume 1, Chapter 62: Please Show Some Self-Respect

Xia Yu turned his head to look elsewhere. "You must be a bit cold from the rain. Zhengnan, give your jacket to her to wear."
"Alright," he agreed, gazing at her with eyes filled with profound infatuation and devotion. "Anything you wish for, I will do." The desire to transform into the person she loved, to fulfill every single one of her hopes—such a craving was surprisingly overwhelmingly intense.
The driving force that kept him enduring everything was the belief that ten years later, she would return to his side and be entirely, completely his.
Upon hearing his roar, the group immediately unleashed their most fierce attacks toward the giant eagle that was attempting to escape.
Lu Shu strolled leisurely around and slowly approached the alley entrance. The sunlight of Xijing City had completely vanished. This area was relatively remote with dim, yellowish streetlights, and as Lu Shu walked along the road, he looked just like an ordinary teenager.
Left with no alternative, Fire Phoenix and I unleashed the True Phoenix Fire and the Southern Ming Li Fire to join the siege, only to be slain after spitting out merely a few wisps of flame.
This was, of course, futile. Blood trickled down between his fingers, a steady stream of crimson staining his entire garment.
Cang Yao sat by the bedside, gazing intently at the sleeping figure. Under the soft, dim light, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Her skin was luminous and smooth, her brows curved like willow leaves, and her nose was delicately upturned, yet her features carried a faint hint of heroic spirit. Her full, rosy lips resembled a blooming rose, constantly tempting the human heart.
"Mother!" Nangong Yun called out instantly as he looked at Yang Hui, whose complexion had improved significantly before him.
"Haha, you are overthinking it, Mr. Tian. Academic debates ultimately boil down to seeing whose ideology can grant the common people of the world a good life. Therefore, our descent down the mountain is not for revenge, but simply in the hope that the common people can live better lives and that scholars can have more choices," Zeng Yu said earnestly, looking at Tian Feng.
His gaze was serene and calm, unrippled like an ancient well, as if he were completely unaware of his illicit affair with Mu Tianshen, yet also as if he had already seen through everything.
Zhuang Zhicheng had been waiting in the woods for a long time. This was the place he had chosen as the most ideal spot for murder and robbery—hidden and gloomy.
By then, Ke Ziqian would resist against fabricated accusations, ironically enabling Ke Shaochuan to frame Ke Ziqian under the guise of fighting for the presidency of the CEO.
However, her concerns were unnecessary. Before the car started, Fang Yiyuan had already closed the convertible top.
"Doesn't that mean the Zhao, Wang, and Sun families are now at irreconcilable daggers drawn?" From He Yan's report, Zeng Yu sensed room for manipulation here. If he could make these three powerful families fight among themselves, wouldn't he be able to sit back and reap the fisherman's spoils once he assumed office?
The anger on Lin Yahan's face gradually dissipated, transforming into a complex emotion blending grievance and sorrow.
Glancing at Wu Chunhua, who looked as though she wished to kowtow until her head cracked, Shui Yao took the agreement and carefully examined the numbers on the paper. A grim premonition surged in her heart: Could it be that everything Wu Chunhua said this time was actually true?
The giant wolf perhaps had had its fill of play, stepping forward slowly to close in on the two of them. Then, it circled them once and sniffed them.
How did Liu Liuyuan become the vice president of the Chengzhou City Television Station? Rumors on the street said she slept her way to the position with the former mayor, Lu Xinming.
Therefore, a person like him generally would not, like ordinary Japanese military officers, blindly shout about honor and dying for the emperor while fighting the enemy to the death.
"This is a pet raised by our family. Its moving speed surpasses the vast majority of flying vehicles. If we need to compress travel time, this is undoubtedly the most suitable option." Illumi subtly and luxuriously flaunted the family assets of the Zoldycks.
