Chapter 108: Returning Home

Dan Pinghui left in the morning, and by the afternoon, the matriarch had sent someone over to remind Lu Yalan to prepare to pick her up the next day, giving her time to pack in advance.

The visitor was a young maid, whose sharp wit and eloquence came from some unknown source. Even upon first meeting the formidable Lu Yamei, she showed no sign of intimidation. With a few words, she had both Lu Yamei and her sister laughing heartily.

Seeing the two ladies so pleased, the maid became even more enthusiastic. "The old madam has sent a letter to Second Master. He’s expected to arrive in the next couple of days. Perhaps Second Miss will see him when she returns home!"

At this, the room fell abruptly silent. The two young mistresses, who had been laughing moments before, grew somber, their faces darkening as the atmosphere turned heavy.

I had asked my grandmother to place the purchased butterfly orchids on the floor so that we could watch their blooming process. After a night passed, I awoke to find the flowers had all vanished from the orchid. A sudden heaviness settled upon my heart.

The love of beauty is not unique to humans; animals possess it as well. Otherwise, why would I admire Grandmother Laura’s sense of style so much?

At a crossroads, Snoopy tried to tug me toward another area, but glancing at the location on my phone, I saw I was just five minutes from home.

The two sect leaders chose to leave on their own accord. The stronger the assistance, the more likely it is to invite calamities of equal or greater power. In such unpredictable circumstances, the best course of action is to keep a distance.

If Gu Chenmu hesitated out of concern, the matriarch, seizing the upper hand, would not care who stood before her—she would strike without hesitation.

Then a miraculous scene unfolded. With the appearance of Bi Fang, the red-crowned crane, now bearing a hint of divine grace, suddenly halted, eyes full of terror as it gazed upon Bi Fang.

The Beishan wasteland lies directly north of Dongxia City. Due to its remote location, there are no public buses to the area, with the nearest point being a place called Tuquan.

“Yes. When a demon undergoes a tribulation, the surrounding demons within a certain radius must also endure the thunder tribulation,” the old craftsman blew on his white beard and gave Bai Yun a meaningful glance.

This mountain peak is exceedingly steep, resembling a towering pillar that reaches the sky. Aside from birds and cultivators like him, nothing else can traverse this place, ensuring a serene solitude.

Perhaps it was nurtured after birth, or maybe people are simply born this way. Either way, Li Feng couldn’t compare.

As the owner, Ye Ji did not often appear before the tenants. Perhaps he was unsure of what his role entailed as the proprietor of such a villa and its associated businesses, but he understood that a boss of his caliber would never loiter daily in front of guests.

“What’s wrong with Chong Jing?” Chong He, ever the worrier, couldn’t help but ask.

Lian Fangqing and Emperor Guangyuan were locked in a cold war. Unwilling to face the scowls and probing glances from concubines, nobles, and beauties, she feigned illness instead.

Ah Chuan dared to take such action only after thorough preparation. I just received a call from the National Inspection Bureau confirming that the tablet used by the blinded individual emitted radiation levels far beyond what the human body could endure. His voice was calm, betraying no hint of anxiety.

Nian Yichen stepped forward, pulled out a chair, and sat beside her. They gazed at each other for a long while, yet neither spoke a word.

Leng Qingyang had never tried to understand anyone before; he felt no need. As long as he had his treasured sword, that was enough.

After this ordeal, Liu Yanyan’s physical body was strengthened, her soul force surged dramatically, and her constitution greatly improved, resulting in a significant rise in power.

This time, everyone was more puzzled, thinking, “Aren’t both swords the same? Could there be some hidden secret?”

“Brother! Brother! Brother!” the young girl shouted repeatedly, yet the sky remained silent and still.

At that moment, the white fox nearby caught sight of it. It blinked once, then seemed to grow curious.

“All right, enough talk. Rest well here for the day. Tomorrow, we still have to continue upward,” Hao Cailian said hastily. Liu Yi nodded awkwardly in agreement.
