Chapter 40: Self-Mockery

Until it was time to start work, Hua Ning still couldn't figure out the reason for Su Qiuxin’s change. But no matter how Su Qiuxin changed, as long as she remained herself, that was all that mattered. She did not want her home to become a sieve, letting all sorts of demons and monsters pry their way in.

"Comrade Hua Ning, after work this afternoon, Brother Zicong and I are holding our wedding banquet at the educated youth station. I hope you can attend."

Hua Ning’s mind was wandering when she suddenly heard someone speaking to her. She looked up.

Inside Li Yu’s inner world, the Laws of Life and the lake water were condensing together, gradually forming crystalline beads of water. Meanwhile, the Laws of the Five Elements gradually transformed into colorful, slender threads, stringing these water beads together.

Because I was already on edge, Wu Liuqi’s shout, delivered at full volume, made me shudder all over. I turned my head to look, and one glance was all it took for me to almost swear in frustration, cursing silently to myself that we were truly done for this time.

"Woof! Fragrant! So fragrant!" The husky was inexplicably excited, sniffing the air with its nose, its tail sweeping wildly like a broom.

Upon entering the Immortal Gate, Li Yu felt the world spinning around him. He had no heart left to search for the source of the laws and promptly lost consciousness.

The Princess was also in a state of agitation; otherwise, she would never have said such things at this moment, as it would only increase the pressure on Xie Changqing’s shoulders without providing any benefit.

The vendors on the street did not solicit customers indiscriminately; they only answered questions if someone approached them. Gu Jiahua stopped at a stall, picked up a seemingly exquisite jade hairpin, and took out a magnifying glass to inspect it closely.

The waxing process is an essential step in crafting rosewood furniture, known in ancient times as "wax work." The quality of the waxing directly affects both the appearance and the lifespan of the furniture. The waxes used include insect wax and beeswax.

Ying Zheng considered for a moment and suggested, "Let's go to your residence. The palace is full of prying eyes, and it is not safe to talk here." Hearing this, Qin Qing knew he must have something important to discuss, so she nodded in agreement. The two of them boarded a carriage and returned to the Qin estate.

Rather than watching upbeat songs and dances, he would prefer to brew a cup of tea, sit by the seaside, watch the azure ocean, and listen to the tides.

The black whip shot out like a lightning-fast venomous snake. Only then did the onlookers realize that Meng Qingtong possessed terrifying strength.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the old curator examined the corpse of Wei Yi over and over again to confirm the findings.

At this moment, several school security guards walked over to drive Old Ma away. "Who told you to cause trouble here?"

Unsurprisingly, every deceased person had the same puncture wounds and remnants of broken silver needles behind their ears.

He watched the short video’s data bit by bit, as the likes grew from twenty or thirty thousand in the afternoon to over a hundred thousand by the evening.

Wei Rong stared in a daze at the scene, which looked as if a typhoon had just passed through. She didn't even realize her ears were buzzing, with only one thought in her mind.

"He’s actually quite a decent person. I forgot to rob him earlier, and yet he still delivered himself to us." Xie Antong was practically beaming with joy over there.

He was still lacking; he didn't realize that the engine was the most important part of the car that needed maintenance.

Seeing this, Situ Nanhai’s face turned serious. He first asked the students to wait where they were, then jumped alone into the mud, which was nearly knee-deep. After lowering his head to inspect it for a while, he actually pushed the floating, human-shaped object into the nearby cornfield.

The fat man thought for a moment. "It’s been about two or three months. It was high blood pressure; a blood vessel burst, and he couldn't be saved."

This face felt more and more familiar the longer he looked at it, but he couldn't recall for the life of him why it seemed so familiar.

Ma Dao’an frowned and asked, "What?" He was curious to see the man still leaning against the pillar with his hands tucked into his sleeves.

"Actually, I came over because I wanted to ask you something." If she asked about Ji Chen now, it would surely hurt Cheng Yiyan, but Tan Yu didn't want to wait any longer. If she couldn't get this matter cleared up, she would never be able to set her mind at ease.
