Volume 1, Chapter 30: Second Aunt and Wang Miao

"Father, he..." Wang Yan smiled, gesturing toward Yang Chengqiu. Another purpose for his return was to confirm Yang Chengqiu's identity.

They moved forward, the path beneath their feet, yet no one knew where the road ahead led. They could not even find the way for the very next moment. When the heart is lost, everything becomes lost.

"Mother, you've misunderstood. I was only asking you to rest; I will prepare something for you to eat later," Yu Yanxiao said, forcing a smile that did not quite reach his eyes.

I understand clearly that Zhao Min loves me deeply, so I have sworn a solemn oath in my heart: I will treat her well for the rest of my life. It shall only be her leaving me, never me leaving her.

"Boss, stop wasting breath on him. Capture him quickly, and that reward will be ours!" one of the guards chimed in.

"Alas, everyone faces a destined end. Why remain so obsessed? If you view this death-trap merely as an end, then it truly is one. But if you see it as a unique opportunity, then that is what it becomes." A weathered and profound voice echoed through the tower. The statue behind the hunched old man seemed to come to life, speaking slowly.

After all, one only has a single life. If one fails a tribulation, the physical body is blasted to ash by the heavenly lightning. A Profound Jade Pill at such a moment could reshape the body, effectively granting a second life.

Su Huan glanced at him hurriedly before quickly averting her eyes. Yu Yanxiao was still wearing that pale blue robe, leaning against the doorway with an air of unspeakable laziness and allure. Combined with his devilishly handsome face, she could not help but swallow hard.

"Alright, alright, I get it! But it’s strange—why are you being so kind as to warn me?" Harry asked.

The Empress Dowager had only sensed inconsistencies in the lies so far, not yet seeing through the cracks. She had to remain rational, drawing a line between herself and Yan Wushuang to secure her own position.

Empress Dowager Lu spoke a few words to Prince Shuo in her capacity as an elder before allowing Gu Heng to head to the side hall to visit his wife.

"Wanwan knows she was wrong, but Father, you saw the situation yourself. If I hadn't done that, I fear Feng Qing would have forced me into marriage and taken me to the palace," Gu Wanwan said aggrievedly, trying to pool tears in her eyes so that Gu Zhenhai would see the hurt in her heart and forgive her transgression this once.

She swore she had replied purely on impulse; perhaps she had muttered it in her heart so often that she spoke it aloud while half-asleep.

"Hmph! Scoundrel!" Fang Yun snorted with disdain. She glanced at Bai Ye and then turned to leave. Many were reluctant to see Lin Lu go, but they understood the task Lin Lu had to undertake, so they could only bury their sorrow deep within.

Feng Qi had no choice but to retreat a few steps, yet her eyes never left the bed, where the child lay breathing as faintly as a gossamer thread.

Fortunately, Bai Ye’s six senses were sharp; he could perceive his surroundings even while meditating. When he sensed a powerful aura appear in the martial arts gym, he immediately heightened his vigilance.

In this life, I call you Mother one last time. Even if you can no longer hear it, it matters not. Some people are destined to leave, and some are destined to become enemies.

However, there was no time to overthink. Seeing Wang Xue and Yin Qiaoqiao’s cars drive away, He Feng brought Yin Zheng into his car. He was a good boy; he felt no disgust at the filth of a stroke patient, carefully wiping the drool from Yin Zheng’s mouth.

Dinner was only half-finished when a sudden downpour arrived, urged on by a fierce gale. In an instant, the sky outside became like a battlefield, with a cacophony of sounds converging to create a deafening roar.

Chu Zheng bought meat buns, and Bao Erhei caught a stray dog. Watching the stray dog devour the fragrant meat buns, the onlookers began to feel hungry themselves.

Consort Mei had no appetite for food, nor any interest in changing into fine clothes; she only wanted to receive news of Du Jiuniang.

Lan Lin only frowned, yet without retreating a single step, he pursued Ying Zheng desperately, as if charging toward the Great Crystal.

The underground catacombs, the countless mountains of corpses and seas of bones, and the eerie, ghost-ridden fissures had all vanished.

However, Qi Cunyu had sent men to keep a close watch on Bai Wu. It was difficult for him to leave the state office, let alone leave Jinzhou.

Of course, none of this was the most important thing. What mattered most was that I wanted to contend with Yan Nanfeng.

Ye Yunchang’s two strikes carried immense force. Even with their sixth-level body tempering, the bones where they were struck shattered, causing them excruciating pain.

So, sometimes I ask myself: why do I think this way? Is it because the trees in front of my house have shed all their leaves, or because the flowers I planted have lost their petals, affecting my mood?

She had originally intended to pass on a cultivation technique to Ye Yunchang, assuming she had none. But who could have known that the cultivation method Ye Yunchang already possessed seemed far more powerful than the one she was offering.

Gazing at the bitter faces, Lu Han smiled, yet he fell into deep contemplation. Ever since returning to Haoming, he had been meticulously calculating and guessing the whereabouts of the Myriad Spirit Seal, but to no avail.

Cao Xuerong realized she had spoken wrongly immediately after venting, yet she felt a chill at He Yonggang’s heartless attitude toward her.

The rooms in the long corridor were mostly shops, and almost all of them dealt in things that could not see the light of day.

Fortunately, RNG was not affected by the loss of the first game; they gradually found their rhythm in this match, with every lane performing exceptionally well.

Because he had beaten up everyone who pursued Chen Yunu, he forced those people to keep their distance, to the point that they didn't even dare to speak to her.

"It's fortunate that you told me; otherwise, the outcome would surely have been much worse!" Zhou Yuhao finally revealed the truth behind the matter to Tian Qianqian.

For a moment, Li Ling'er’s face was filled with worry and heavy thoughts, but then she seemed to recall something and cast a glance at the scruffy mongrel dog at her feet.

"I just loathe this world. I don't know why—I just don't want to see anyone!" Amy suddenly became agitated.

"Brother Niu, do you know what that strange sound in the mountains is?" Zhang Xiao asked, seeking information.
