Volume 1, Chapter 46: Compensating Her with His Marriage Destiny

Meng Xueyi concealed the dark look in her eyes and made up her mind, yet she maintained a calm expression as she walked up, took Meng Tingfeng by the arm, and gently stroked the messy wisps of hair near her temples with a look of deep distress.

"You've suffered, Sister," she said, her voice even carrying a hint of tears.

Meng Tingfeng smiled, though she didn't miss the flash of malice and jealousy in the other's eyes the moment she caught sight of Pu Hong.

It seemed that everyone had a weakness. And her adopted sister, who always kept a low profile and hid her true self, valued Pu Hong above all else.

Under her continuous provocation, Meng Xueyi would sooner or later lose her patience and make a move prematurely.

Meng Tingfeng wanted her to strike before she was fully prepared; she certainly didn't want to let herself...

"That's right, she used to chatter every day about preparing this and that for the Seventh Prince, always making me cook the dishes the Seventh Prince liked. Even the master used to get jealous back then, saying you cared more about the Seventh Prince than about him." Remembering the days in Linsu, that carefree period of time, Jin Niang smiled with exceptional warmth.

Qing Rang knew that Yu Zichen's words of comfort held some reason, but in her heart, she still couldn't help worrying about her eldest brother.

Take, for instance, the Tai Sui bestowed by the Changmen previously; that was a supreme treasure defying the heavens, practically a stroke of serendipity granted by heaven and earth.

So that whenever it might be removed in the present, how to accomplish that possibility might also become greater.

Unfamiliar words were calmly uttered, pulling the two people who had once been close as far apart as the ends of the earth.

Ruoxue was solely focused on demanding an explanation from Fenghua. Fenghua suddenly stopped moving, yet Ruoxue did not notice until Ruoxin spoke up, at which point she realized Ruoxin had appeared and entered the room without her knowing.

Yet next, the frequency of the tremors grew larger and larger, and miserable screams could be heard.

Xi Xichen left the mission area in a fit of anger, leaving behind that solitary, cold, and proud white figure.

That afternoon, she neither went back to Jiuchen Real-estate nor inspected the construction site at Wanshuigou.

Gu Xue felt as though she had just heard a ridiculous joke. Upgrading to a C-zone identity card required fifty thousand contribution points; even she probably couldn't scrape together that much right now, so how could a scavenger possibly have so much money?

Because the box was wrapped three times inside and three times outside for fear of damage, the innermost box belonging to the brand itself was securely wrapped, making it truly impossible to tell what Zhou Zhi had bought just by looking at the outside.

Seeing the two sisters begin to pick out clothes, I let out a breath of relief, sitting quietly on the bench inside the shop and watching them.

As for Yaya, being a seasoned foodie, just by smelling this scent, she could be a hundred percent sure this was the aroma of braised pork.

After having Li Rusong put away the photos, I shoved the half-pack of Yuxi cigarettes I was carrying into Xue Feng's hands, and then we headed back to the municipal bureau.

With just a few sparse words, she sent a chill through Zhong Jie's heart, leaving him practically terrified.

After finishing his cigarette, he threw the butt on the ground and viciously crushed it out with his heel, before finally picking it up and walking over to a nearby trash can.

"Other things can be obtained without effort, but as for making a baby, I'd rather do it hands-on," Cheng Yan'an said righteously.

I stepped out of my home, immediately dialed Huang Aiguo's number, stated my request straight to the point, and arranged a time to meet before driving toward Su Province.

"Could it be that we're enveloped in water mist, the spaceship can't move, and that's why our speed dropped to zero?" Su Xiaojia said.

"Wife, what are you guys trying to do?" Liu Liangfeng panicked a bit, taking off his mask—was it time to lay everything out on the table?

If a sentence or two could alleviate his pain, why would he need to sink so deep? Why would he be so trapped in it without a way out?

Speaking of detecting veins of the earth, to magicians and Taoist sorcerers, it really wasn't difficult at all. As long as one had seriously attended basic classes, they basically wouldn't misidentify the location of an earth vein.

Since the director had spoken, naturally no one else would say anything. They opened the door and let Zhang Nian in.

She pulled the keys out of her pocket and coldly tossed them to Li Yunze. Watching him catch them, she turned away indifferently, muttering a few critical thoughts inwardly.

Yao Zhan's body didn't move, but the rope in his hand gave a downward tug. Lanxiang, suspended mid-air, shot sharply upward, and Rong Zheng's white silk ribbon grasped only empty air.

Everyone drank until the second watch before stopping. Pang Tong and Xue Yue escorted Cao Zhi to his room. Cao Zhi looked unsteady on his feet, but once inside, he slammed the door shut. At that moment, Pang Tong had just lit a candle.

This hellish warrior had brought him a surprise, and he grew increasingly expectant of the grandeur this formation would display in his hands.

The sun hung high at the hour of noon. They could no longer see the Five Lights Grotto. To the northwest lay only the vast desert, devoid of any sign representing life. Pang Tong and the others looked out over the flat desert; sand dunes were few and far on this terrain.

"Black Flame, what are you planning to do?" Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu couldn't help shouting out, and then he rushed forward to shake the sleepwalking Black Flame awake.

Xun Qi and the others: "..." All of them wore dark expressions, each thinking in their hearts that if such a wild brat went undisciplined, he would likely turn the world upside down.

Looking at the locked door, I couldn't help feeling a wave of despondency. I found a clean patch of firewood in the corner and sat down, temporarily drifting into a daze. Scenes from the past seemed to materialize before my eyes—the smiles of my master and master's wife, along with the figures of my senior martial brothers and the others.

I had heard the name Changshang Hall many times; on the way here, Lin Nan had also mentioned it to us. There were four major branch altars within Changshang Hall, which I had heard Zhang Xude speak of: the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise altars, and Taoist Jiushang was a deputy altar master of the Vermilion Bird altar.

Finally, some useful clues. Judging by his words, he seemed to be a victim as well, and Lu Zexi's analysis of him underwent a fundamental shift at that moment.

The battle at Lake Lanhard continued, but the Red Alert landing forces, now reduced to an isolated army, were steadily retreating, with the icy waters of Lake Lanhard right behind them.

Watching Wu Rushen's submissive and meek demeanor, Rong Sheng only felt a lump in his throat, his blood churning from anger.

Yet these one-after-another incidents kept the Empress Dowager uneasy in her heart, fearing that today's grand wedding would likewise be fraught with turbulence.

Before long, Xiangyang returned, followed by the hulking Tu Bao and some elite players from the Smile Mansion, as well as an irritated-looking Wan Sisi, a deadpan Xiao Chuchu, and a lingeringly frightened Dongfang Ruoxue.

Even though, after completing the magnificent feat of consecutively taking down "The King's Man" three times, he already had enough to be proud of and could brag about it in the celestial gaming circle for several years.

"This name was created by your grandmother, your grandfather, and me along with our other teammates. We should probably be considered seniors now," Xu Guang's eyes turned hazy as he fell into memories.

The village chief was so angry fire seemed to shoot from his eyes, his nostrils flaring like a blacksmith's bellows, until he was held back by Yingzi's mother.

Alas, opening his eyes to look, Lin Xian realized he had overthought things! Right before him was the old face of Daoist Xuanzhen, covered in white hair and beard, sizing him up with an expression full of playful mockery.
