Volume 1, Chapter 24: Be My Girlfriend

Agarwood is an incredibly rich medicinal material; it must be properly dissolved, otherwise, its scent is truly no better than excrement. This is the principle of extreme fragrance turning into stench. Ambergris powder dissolved in a pool is highly aromatic, yet as a whole chunk, it is merely feces—the excrement of a sperm whale.

Jiang Chendu heard the knocking and his expression shifted immediately. Seeming annoyed at being disturbed, he made a move to stand up and open the door.

"I just want to lick it to see what agarwood tastes like." Fatty Ma licked his lips. He had nearly died on that Bright Moon Island, and wasn't it all for agarwood? Now that there was a piece—even if it wasn't his—tasting it shouldn't be too much to ask.

The gentle sea breeze stirred the ripples on the ocean surface, blowing the moonlight into a more desolate appearance, like a cold-toned print, causing one's soul to grow quiet.

"What are you going for? Stay here and look after the shop properly. In a little while, the Rock Antiques store will be opening." Dong Qing glared at the fellow.

I never expected the Prince to suddenly arrive at the manor. His unexpected intervention seemed to resolve the situation, but in reality, it left me incredibly awkward—an awkwardness that stemmed mostly from myself, as I had no idea how to face him.

The young master naturally sensed something was amiss, but he only frowned slightly; judging by the situation, he did not take it to heart.

The man with the ponytail, who had just sat down, perhaps truly felt bored. Much like strangers who meet while shopping for clothes and find they have "similar tastes," he unexpectedly picked up on our conversation.

Unless he had already obtained that item, there was no way he could be this powerful. And once he mastered that object, even those old men in the inner courtyard would have to act according to his wishes.

"Di Shitian, I have no intention of contending with you for the throne of the Celestial Emperor!" High in the vast sky, a man with a straight posture stood proudly. Beside him, the elegant Fairy Zixuan stood tenderly, a smile curving her lips, as if the man beside her were her entire world.

After some thought, Su Rong replied, "With my academic record back then, I should have been able to enter a research institute and engage in wormhole research, spending all day facing some strange and peculiar instruments." The implication was that he truly had no opportunity to choose such a career.

Sensing that sharp, peerless sword intent, the Sovereigns in the void had already guessed the origin of this blade.

"Come, here is your favorite wine and meat." Qin Yongqi pulled over a stool and insisted on squeezing in next to Qiu Qianjian.

People in this world are forgetful; many love to kick a man when he is down, but there are also plenty who are kind and understanding. Besides, mouths belong to others; if one wants to live well, how can one concern oneself with so much?

When I woke up, I found myself lying in a sea of flowers, and the day was already bright. Mo Meiling was nowhere to be seen. Seeing that I was naked, I rushed to the bathroom where I had bathed earlier. The moment I started to walk, I felt exhausted, as if I had just recovered from a severe illness.

"Will you leave on your own, or shall I personally escort you out?" The person who jumped down from the corner was Qing Qi. He had a baby face and still looked like a child, with round, rolling eyes. If he were walking down the street, no one would doubt it if someone called him a young master of some noble household.

Although this impulse was fleeting, passing through his mind in a flash, it was enough to make him scrutinize the handsome, smiling youth before him with a more critical and cautious gaze.

Finally finished vomiting, she leaned over the sink to wash her hands and face. Rinsing her mouth, she knew He Dongfeng was a germaphobe and feared he would despise her. She scrubbed herself thoroughly with hand soap, wiped herself carelessly with a few tissues, and staggered out of the restroom, heading straight downstairs to find her husband, Dongfeng.

The people at the table all looked at He Dongfeng, but he acted as if nothing had happened and picked up his bowl and chopsticks to continue his meal.

He took a taxi home and shook He Dongfeng awake, asking him to tend to his wounds. When He Dongfeng saw blood streaming down his cheek and ear, he was momentarily stunned. After a quick examination, he felt relieved—no stitches were needed, but a tetanus shot was mandatory.

Shi Moyu emphasized the last two words with unusual gravity. Although he spoke to Liu Yun Qingshuang, everyone present understood that Shi Moyu was warning them that this had reached his bottom line.

Ye Yong furrowed his brows deeply, then suddenly squinted. A massive, pitch-black swarm emerged from ahead—it was the legendary Blood-Thirsty Ants.

After Ren Sinians said this, he took a stack of money from his pocket and placed it on the bedside table.

Zhao Qingshan let out a long sigh and swung his right hand down sharply. The Zhao family soldiers suddenly aimed their sophisticated crossbows at the five hundred garrison troops.

This, however, infuriated the three behind: Chen Dong, Liu Houzi, and Guan Liang. Damn it, who would have thought that a stray shot would actually end up helping this guy?

Seeing that the engagement ceremony had not yet begun, Mu Xiaojing took the jewelry box, headed straight to the fifth floor by elevator, circled around for a long time until she finally found the lounge, and then excitedly pushed the door open.

"Can't you see for yourself? I don't know why Xu Xiaowen would even pay attention to you when you're so ugly!" Song Zhiyuan said with disdain, his face showing even greater impatience.

If it were so, why had she become so beautiful? Elegant, pretty, noble, charming. These adjectives were not enough to describe her at this moment. He did not know how to describe her now; he only knew that she was so beautiful he could not take his eyes off her, wanting only to gaze at her. She was so beautiful that he just wanted to hold such a person in his arms.

Looking at Lin蕭 gratefully, Uncle Liu finally let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, things hadn't blown out of proportion, otherwise, Kona would never stop complaining to me.

Although his absorption range was not yet large, Tang Rao saw hope. As long as he persisted, his absorption range would eventually expand to the entire Earth, and even the entire starry sky.

"You were actually hiding in the team." Boya bared his teeth, surprised and furious. Such an expert possessed immense strength; if he remained hidden for a long time, lulling others into a false sense of security, he would inevitably pose a threat to them.

Wu Ling knew that Yulu was venting on her behalf. She had been dating He Yifeng for so long, yet he wouldn't even introduce her to his parents. Naturally, this would make anyone angry, but she didn't want to see He Yifeng in a difficult position.

With the order from the Hoenn region's branch league, Nan Hefeng's father effectively lost his dream and his job. Although he didn't know the specifics, Nan Hefeng knew it was because of Lin蕭, one of the Kanto region's Elite Four. The siblings had previously secretly investigated Lin蕭's background.
