53 Collusion

Caonan Village is located in a remote area and is a notoriously impoverished village. Not a single wealthy person could be found in the entire village looking back five generations, so how could there possibly be any good things there?

Seeing Zuo Nannan act like this, Su Yufei felt a slight pang of displeasure. He certainly would not let the matter rest here; given the opportunity, he would definitely make Zuo Nannan pay the price.

Just as they stepped into the first-floor stairwell, a wave of musty odor and humid air rushed toward their faces, causing them to frown involuntarily.

Ye Jinzhi said nothing. After finishing speaking on her own, Huang Jie stood up and waved to a friend at the adjacent table, signaling them to come over.

A thought exploded in Aunt Yin's mind, and her eyes instantly grew moist. She couldn't help but look toward Jiang Yuchuan beside her, silently seeking confirmation.

Originally, Chu Yuqian was wearing a dress. Now that Qin Yu was lying on the ground, that exact position offered a direct view of Chu Yuqian's legs.

Of course, this wasn't a genuine giving up, but rather a tactical retreat—finding an even more exceptional man than Du Ziheng to provoke him and make him realize what a foolish mistake it was to break up with her.

At that time, Qin Yu had consulted him, and he had told Qin Yu to look for someone in their forties, which subsequently led to the incident involving Zhou Qiming.

Some even said that his talent was a once-in-a-ten-thousand-years phenomenon. Setting aside his actual combat strength and considering talent alone, not a single person could be his match.

Xu Tingtao used to be his father's assistant and frequently visited their home as a guest. He had resigned a couple of years ago, and this was their first meeting since parting ways.

Having no other channels and no way to contact Nyx, Ling Feng had no choice but to set his sights on Aris.

Such a figure, even if merely a projected avatar, was far beyond what the current Ding Yan could withstand.

Before Lucide could react, Mercedes pulled her directly into his arms, holding her tightly. His right hand gently stroked her hair, while his left hand lightly caressed her back.

Old Monster Eagle felt resentment in his heart and left after glaring at Ye Tianyun. Fortunately, he did not resort to physical action; otherwise, the fate awaiting someone named Ye Tianyun would certainly not have been pleasant. Judging by the posture, Old Monster Eagle had clearly intended not to let him off, but with Li Tianjiao present, he left his words unfinishable.

Voodoo is a level-one-hundred transformation magic. By consuming a single magic stone, it gives a high probability of transforming a specified number of surrounding monsters into snails, drastically reducing their attack power and movement speed.

"Boss, will there be delicious food at the new place I'm going to?" Hurricane Sirius asked, retreating to his second choice.

"Allow me to ask a bold question: what is the current equity structure of Ironwall? If I remember correctly, you built it entirely through your own efforts back then and held 100% of the controlling stake. Have you transferred or sold any shares to others over the past few years?" Liu Lu asked again.

The roasted suckling pig, brought from the magic-martial world, exuded a rich aroma as golden oil continuously dripped from it.

He was a person of exceptional intelligence. Seeing the rich holy light radiating from Edward and associating it with Salande's frantic search for a hiding place, he instantly guessed Edward's true identity.

"That's easy to handle." Zhang Yujie hurried over to the well, only to find that the well rope had dropped all the way to the bottom and simply needed to be hauled back up. When Zhang Yujie lived in an orphanage during his childhood, there was also a well there, so he was quite familiar with the process. He cranked the wooden handle of the windlass, and it creaked as he pulled the rope up.

"Guarding the tombs for a long time is quite tedious. Changing shifts periodically won't draw any objections from the guards of the Zhu residence." Chu Lancang knew that the guards of the Zhu residence were always under the purview of the head housekeeper.

She preemptively took a step forward, using anger to mask all her emotions, and pointed a trembling hand directly at Yan Tao.

Xue Xue desperately wanted to reach out and touch her belly to feel her own child. When hearing Zhang Zhiyan say that her womb held his bloodline, an unprecedented and strange emotion surged from the depths of his heart—a bizarre yet profound sensation of instantly maturing into a true man.

Despite all his flaws, it was impossible to genuinely dislike him, because his entire being radiated a sense of great beauty and happiness.

"Leave the city through the North Gate." Chu Lancang's original plan had been to find a horse at Uncle Fu's place for transportation before heading out of the city to rendezvous with A-Wu and the others. Now, not only did she have a means of transportation, but she had acquired companions as well.

There was another point: Old Wu had mentioned that the poison in her body might find a cure near Yufeng Mountain, so going to Yufeng Mountain was not a problem.

With a screech, the tricycle came to a sudden halt, and my momentum sent me pitching forward. Thanks to the high back panel of the cart, otherwise I would have tumbled straight out.

Xiangzi agreed with my assessment, and as a member of the Liao ethnic group, he was extremely resentful that someone would target his people in such a manner.

Having stayed by my grandmother's side for so many years, if nothing else, I could at least clearly distinguish between the living and the dead.

On the way, Zhu Yang had already explained the situation to me. The girl who met with disaster was named Li Mingmin—the very same girl who had previously cornered him in an alley to confess her love.

Rainwater drenched Ren Jing's hair, blending with her tears as they streamed down together, making her delicate and lovely face look exceptionally pitiful.

"Where is the three-headed dragon right now? You haven't done anything to him, have you..." A very bad feeling arose in my heart.

And what about her? Was she really buried alive? I was truly terrified; never had I imagined that someone so young would die like this.

Upon reaching the gates of the inner palace, carriages were no longer permitted to enter, so Hongxiu 'invited' Fu Lingya down from the carriage.

"Big Eyes! Life or death, we fight to the bitter end!" The two sworn brothers pointed simultaneously toward the heavens, as if taking an oath or making a solemn pledge.

The Goddess of Light, transliterated in Tibetan as Wiser Jiedma and known in Sanskrit as Marici or Maricideva, translates to "Sunlight" or "Majestic Light." In Chinese translation, she is called the Radiant Heavenly Mother. The Goddess of Light constantly accompanies the Sun God, running swiftly before him like an arrow as she patrols the four quarters of the universe, dedicated to the protection of the state and the peace of the people, possessing the supernatural power of invisibility and absolute freedom.
