Thirty-eighth: What do you want

"Where is the phone?" She got straight to the point.

The man took it out of his bag and placed it on the table.

Fu Luoning walked over, picked it up, and examined it, her tone slightly cold. "What do you want?"

The man had not expected her directness.

Regardless of what he might want, Fu Luoning needed to distance herself from him. Returning a phone could easily have been handled by the front desk or Fang Xue. His insistence on appearing here made her feel that he wasn't just here to return a simple device.

Qin Mu did not care at all about Shen Mei calling her "sister"; after all, they were never that close.

At this moment, seeing Lin Yumeng still speaking up for her, she felt that this cousin of hers had truly changed.

"Gao Xiang, stop spouting nonsense. When did I ever want to kill you?" Seeing Gao Xiang accusing her, Lan'er immediately retorted.

Indeed, this burly man was none other than Hu Dong, who had fallen off the cliff with the car earlier that day. Whether it was fate or sheer luck, he had not died, suffering only minor surface wounds.

Although Bai Weiwei had seen her fair share of bloody scenes, such a raw and visceral sight of mangled flesh still made her feel uneasy.

Ye Yan was suddenly overcome with rage. He balled his hand into a fist and, at a tricky angle, struck fiercely at the chest and abdomen of the Snow Tiger.

The mission stated clearly: diviners recklessly pry into the secrets of heaven, revealing the intentions of the Dao to mortals ahead of time. They often alter the fortunes and fates of others to gain fame and profit for themselves. This is to damage the order of heaven and earth for one's own gain.

Even An Miaoyi was stunned, her face turning a shade of pale.

But after a great battle, the Demon Emperor would surely discover that the Demon Queen was lurking in the shadows, plotting a rebellion, and from then on, he would take targeted precautions and launch counterattacks.

"This, this..." Indeed, these few words from Li Hongtan left Yang Dongmei speechless; even if she wanted to explain, she could not make herself clear.

Faced with such a disregard for rules and etiquette, Lan Tingzhi was, for a moment, at a loss as to how to respond.

Nan Changqing paused his steps, took a deep look at Qing Yue, and without answering, continued walking toward the mansion gate.

Seeing this, Yang Ke did not panic. He called out to Diaw as usual to help him with a screen. When Diaw used his body to block Battier and Yang Ke shifted laterally along the three-point line to the other side, he found that James was following him.

But the person behind Hu Funsheng wanted much more than just this money; perhaps they wanted to control the entire imperial court.

The rain fell harder and harder, drowning out the usual roar of engines. Compared to the roar of cars, the sound of raindrops, though equally loud in decibels, was even more unsettling.

What met the eye was a pair of high-quality tan Oxford shoes. Soon, a young man with a stern expression stepped out of the car. Beneath his tan trench coat, he wore a light gray suit that accentuated his upright, well-defined frame.

"Since that's the case, let's begin." Goto placed his tennis bag by the bench, took out his racket, and walked onto the court.

With a flicker of her eyes, Emma wrapped her arms tightly around Yang Ke, then lifted her head, rose on her high-heeled toes, and pressed a kiss to his lips.

Yang Jun received a call from Liu Jie before he had even finished his shift. On the phone, Liu Jie gave him a severe dressing-down. He felt truly wronged; the trouble had been caused by Yang Liping, yet he was the one who had to clean up the mess.

Duan Qin leaned forward, then lifted her head. Her long hair swept an arc through the air as she rose like a light feather. She spread her arms at an angle and spun in place. Had she been wearing a gown with wide sleeves, it would surely have stunned everyone, but even in narrow sleeves, her movements were just as graceful.

Just as I was in the depths of despair, Cang Ling suddenly approached from afar, holding the nine-section sword I had thrown away. She thrust it fiercely, the blade piercing through A-Qi’s back. However, as A-Qi’s body was made of liquid, the puncture caused him no harm.
