Volume 1, Chapter 46: If You Beat Them to Death, It Serves Them Right

Hearing this, Wu Xingxue was completely baffled.
What on earth was Wu Xunan here for?
Why did he bring a woman along, and why did he end up fighting someone?
Judging by the description, it certainly wasn't Chen Ran.
Chen Ran's moral compass was righteous to an infuriating degree; he would never do anything as sordid as seducing someone.
And while Wu Xunan was somewhat of a people-pleaser lacking clear boundaries, he had a sound moral core when he was sober.
He probably wouldn't do something like Shen Chi, who took her money for granted and claimed it as his own.
So.
What was he here for?
Originally, the heavy smell of cooking oil had made her feel rather uncomfortable, but seeing He Yuan's expectant gaze, she didn't want to ruin his mood.
She also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong and felt a growing panic in her heart. In a clumsy moment, she knocked over her cup, splashing tea all over the floor.
Miao Xiancao was just about to burst into a tirade when she caught sight of her four nephews, eight dark eyes staring intently at her.

Thinking further, she reasoned that the child's birth had been kept unreported for more than three months, which showed that Noble Consort Guo had deliberately suppressed the news—she certainly had a scheming mind. But having a scheme was not necessarily a bad thing; it meant she could protect herself and her child, sparing her unnecessary worry.
That made sense. If Yu Tianlin remembered correctly, this should be one of the camouflage skills inherent to angelic soul bones, so having an effect this impressive was only natural.
Upon receiving Su Chen's voice transmission, Shui Yunyan boarded the flying boat at the first possible moment and arrived at the Red Stone Mountains.
Xia Ruanruan joked carelessly, as if she truly didn't care about what He Yuan had just mentioned.
With a cold snort, Brian said nothing more, though a chilling light continuously flickered in his eyes.
As Xia Ruanruan bent down to take two brand-new plates from the cabinet below, He Yuan stared blankly at the flash of her fair waist.
She thought for a moment, applied some ointment to the human-skin mask and put it away, deciding to wear the nightclub mask to work instead.
The wound still felt warm and swollen, itching from time to time. Yet when her fingertip brushed against the skin covered by the band-aid, Chu Xu suddenly, inexplicably recalled how Zhao Congzhen had looked yesterday.
Time ticked away second by second, and the contestants gradually finished their diagnoses, bringing the first round of the competition to a close.
After warding the river to make sure the opposing Gragas was not around, Zhang Jun began laying the groundwork for his second wave of offense.
The moment they suffered heavy blows, Heavenly Might seized the opportunity, crushing them so severely that they vomited several mouthfuls of blood in succession.
And this was precisely why the seven sacred grounds were entirely unaware that so many bizarre events had transpired during this period.

Some people were secretly speculating about the relationship between Zhao Weihong and Chang Dingfang, and a few even grew envious that Zhao Weihong was able to sit at the same table with the commander.
At the end of the alley, Wang Yitao's car was already parked there. He placed Qin Feng in the front passenger seat and then drove off rapidly.
Ge Wan removed the bracelet and played with it in her hand. "Does this divine artifact have a name?" The beads looked quite ordinary and transparent.
A moment later, a cold, clear voice drifted over. That familiar tone made Liu Chaofan bristle instantly, and he sprang to his feet.
Ever since their previous encounter, the shadow cast by this man had taken deep root in seductive Third Sister's heart; even if he were reduced to ashes, she would recognize him at a glance.
"..." The two investigators were struck completely speechless. Their originally stern expressions dissolved, replaced by looks of sheer astonishment and utter disbelief that this could be true.
Turning her head, she caught sight of a pair of people getting out of a car not far away. Startled, she realized it was Cheng Xiao and that Sheng Shiyao returning. That vehicle should have been a chartered car from the Kunlun Pass scenic area, arriving a couple of days later than theirs. Paying no attention to this side, the two walked off in the opposite direction with their backs turned, clearly heading toward that youth hostel.
Given Su Xi's background, she would never have agreed to marry into the Xu family unless there were other reasons.
Witnessing the emperor fly into a rage and order a beating for Yuan Wei, all the civil and military officials prepared to step forward and plead on his behalf. It was no joke—Yuan Wei was advanced in years, and if those twenty heavy planks were actually delivered, it would be a miracle if he survived.
