Volume One, Chapter 34: Qin Yi Wants His Mother
The interior of the car was deathly quiet. Through the earpiece, Qin Yi and Xu Mingyue, sitting in the back, heard the news as well.
Qin Yi rubbed his flushed cheeks. Ever since they were at the auditorium, the heat in his face had refused to subside due to his embarrassment. Hearing that he had been expelled, he let out a sigh of relief. He hated going to kindergarten; since he had already lost so much face, it was better not to go at all. Beside him, Xu Mingyue remained silent, not daring to speak.
Because Ao Longtian had used Hanzhen Pavilion as a threat the previous day, Xia Zhenzhen spent the afternoon cooking a table full of dishes and delivered them over.
This sight infuriated Meng He. Pushing aside the dancing girl who approached him, he marched straight toward Khan Bat.
As expected, Goteiny, covered in blood, was spat out by the final mouth, and then the spatial portal closed entirely.
Yu Song had been provoked by the maidservant. At an age brimming with hot-blooded defiance, he refused to back down; before the maid could speak again, he chased after her in a few swift strides.
A phantom image appeared, but Jero knew it was merely a hallucination; the pressure his father exerted on him was too immense. Even as a mere projection in his mind, the stern reprimand left Jero feeling stifled.
The grand hall was bustling with figures, the sounds of conversation rising and falling in waves. Chen Li’s eyes darted around, and a mischievous smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
In no time at all, the fat cook breathed his last. Before he died, Pu Zhu swallowed his soul. The man had no summoned beasts; the girl had done this only to extract information.
When An Zhiyu was chatting with her earlier, he had probed her regarding Gu Qiuqing and his younger sister. People under tension or shock—strong emotions—involuntarily exhibit physical cues, but her movements were natural and clearly distinct from those of Gu Chunhua.
Since encountering Vermouth triggered such powerful ripples, meeting the person behind her would surely lead to the main plot.
After dinner, Lin Feiwai called An Zhishui into the room, while An Zhiyu and Song Xuan cleared the table together.
Upon hearing Qian Xunxue address him as "Young Master Qin" again, rather than "Guyue" as she had before, Qin Gulei realized that she must have been overthinking things earlier.
"If Li Dongsheng’s character is trustworthy, then no one on this earth is untrustworthy!" Leng Sujie walked over, offering Li Dongsheng no shred of face.
The first space octopus had been born only a short time ago before Meng Yang threw it onto the lunar surface for testing. It appeared remarkably well-adapted to the environment.
Yet, to his frustration, with Youyou healing from the back, his damage output was unable to inflict any significant harm on Lin Ke.
The mysterious youth, positioned within the "Nine-Story Pagoda," continued to move forward. A multitude of golden lotus flowers transformed into light carrying terrifying destructive energy, pelting the pagoda surrounding his body like rain, yet the damage they inflicted was negligible.
Li Dongsheng opened his mouth to speak, but no sound emerged. In his current state, he was unfit to issue orders and could only sit obediently, following Old Hu's arrangements.
Indeed, it was an essential tool for a physiognomist, much like a weapon for a warrior. When a physiognomist casts a spell, having a handy magical artifact can significantly reduce incantation time and greatly amplify the power of the spell.
Although Ye Xiao had nothing to do with their business operations, whenever trouble arose in the underworld, people would inevitably seek out the most prestigious boss in the region to mediate. Thus, Ye Xiao had naturally and invisibly solidified his position as an authoritative arbiter.
Just as he prepared to use the Armor-Piercing Pill and the Silence Pill, a gate behind him rumbled and slowly creaked open.
Princess Analita crouched down, tilted her head, and smiled. She reached out two fingers and pinched my nose.
Although Lelang Commandery was already overcrowded with over four million people, when spread across all the new territories, the population was clearly insufficient.
