29 Husband

Lady Ning watched the carriage as it traveled into the distance. She felt a deep sense of envy for Consort An; it seemed the Prince of Yan truly cherished her.

"Mother Housekeeper, you must be overthinking things. Xiyue and I are as close as sisters!" Pianpian insisted, refusing to believe otherwise.

Xiao Ling did not feel the pain he had expected. He caught sight of the person standing in front of him—Wei Da, who always gave him the feeling of a big brother from next door.

Zuo Jianci had remained at Fulun’s hideout to manage affairs, so this man was currently serving as Fulun’s personal bodyguard.

"It’s boiling! It’s absolutely boiling!" Before long, Dong Yueru walked toward her, drenched in sweat and muttering incessantly.

Everyone listened in silence. As they looked at Pei Tayan, their morale was not dampened by their vice-captain’s admission of inadequacy; instead, a new sense of resilience and restraint seemed to take hold of them.

Thinking of this, her low spirits lifted slightly. She forced the corners of her mouth upward, deliberately ignoring the piercing pain.

The young women finally realized that a new "big brother" had emerged in the martial arts world, and they couldn't help but steal a few extra glances at Zhao Jingdong.

They only needed to hold their ground until the frantic momentum of the Chinese soldiers burned out; then, they could launch a counterattack and completely annihilate this Chinese special forces unit.

Two HK-29 missiles, staggering in size and even more staggering in power—each capable of sinking an aircraft carrier if things went wrong—carved two beautiful arcs through the sky. Constantly making minute adjustments to their trajectory, they finally slammed into the very center of the smoke-filled military camp.

Of course, the knights didn't come for free. After performing meritorious service, they were to be enfeoffed with knightly domains; their ultimate goal was to become true knights with their own fiefs.

Zhou Xuanying began her meticulous selection process again. Tang Chen, having no other choice, freed up a hand and let her do as she pleased.

In truth, Cold Scorpion was also feeling rather frustrated. After following Qi Yun from outside Muwang City, he had worried that if he couldn't capture Qi Yun instantly while being so close to the city, he might attract a rescue party of Foundation Establishment cultivators from within.

Even in the secret realm, medicinal pills were extremely rare. If ordinary people managed to obtain one, they would surely keep it for themselves—who would ever think of selling it?

Zhou Xuanying rested contentedly against Tang Chen’s broad chest, listening to his strong, steady heartbeat. She felt as though she had found a sense of security for a lifetime, and her heart was filled with peace.

Xiaoyao couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. Without Ye Zichen’s intervention, he would never have been able to walk out of there safely.

The Golden Hook and Silver Flute duo began to activate their skills—clearly the same perverted technique used to deal with the Dark Heavenly Demon.

As the words fell, Daoist Yu appeared before Tang Chen, holding his horsetail whisk. His face was full of smiles, a stark contrast to his demeanor of the past few days. Tang Chen, more concerned about the whisk, noticed at a glance that it seemed to have been fully restored, and he couldn't help but feel a little better.

Leaving the Ruoshui Sect, Wuji and Xuanyuan Mingchang led the large groups from the Xuanjian Sect and the Ruoshui Sect back to their own sect via the teleportation array. Xuanyuan Mingchang, acting like a curious child, trailed behind Wuji, asking question after question.

Young Master Lin noticed that the old Dean was acting quite unnaturally, his brow furrowed with an ever-growing aura of anger. He looked at Rona, who had previously been determined to hunt him down, and felt that Rona’s attitude toward the Dean had shifted as well.

"How exactly should this be treated? And what kind of illness is this, anyway?" Elder Yu frowned.

The paper was slowly printed out. Because it had been jammed, it was somewhat wrinkled. She thought to herself, "The new director isn't as easygoing as my father; I’d better print another one."

The grey-haired youth looked at Gemini with indifference, his tone flat as he uttered a series of lines that were off the charts in terms of "chuunibyou" intensity.

Ye Sichen added fuel to the fire, immediately spreading the news of Lin Xiuyong’s murder throughout the streets.

"People are fickle; they change from day to day. This tea is very good," Zhinian Wu said, changing the subject.

But he was not like that. Setting aside the mystery of his origins, his status as a member of the Heavenly Palace Zero alone made it impossible for him to possess a membership card.

Steward Zhang dared not offend Qiao Mu, so he could only stand to the side and help her block Xia Nuannuan from entering.

After hearing her words, Yang Ruo marveled at Xia Nuannuan’s positive mindset; even now, being threatened by netizens, she remained calm and unfazed.

Steward Cui hurried out from the surrounding shops, followed by seven or eight servants. Every branch manager knew exactly what the purple-gold card represented.

By the time Li Xue arrived, Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, and Qin Kai were already waiting. A short while later, Huzi arrived, dragging a dark-faced Guo Qing along with him.

Seeing the situation, the five seventh-tier reincarnators realized that the tide had turned. Ignoring their subordinates, they braved Zhao Linger’s heavenly lightning and touched their teleportation stones to flee. Since they had just arrived via those stones, they were only a few steps away, and even Kong Ling was unable to stop them in time.

Patriarch Huang asked anxiously, unable to hide his concern since his grandson, Huang Tan, was inside.

A loud, piercing cry rang out as a massive, unidentified magical beast spread its giant wings and flew toward the depths of the Savage Highlands.

If he could press such a thorny rose beneath him and have her yield to his every whim, how exhilarating would that be?

"Second brother, come out and see who’s here! Haha!" Feng Jingzhai’s voice echoed from outside the door.
