Chapter 148: Third Madam (Part III)

Madame San pulled her hand back instantly, as if she had been electrocuted.

Although I was immensely shocked inside, I pretended to be completely nonchalant, as if I had felt nothing at all.

After Madame San fed the medicinal soup to Chang Yu, he did not spew a mouthful of fresh blood the way he had after drinking the Qiangyuan Dan liquor; a short while later, a steady sound of snoring came from his nose.

Madame San said to me, "Just wait patiently for the right moment."

......

New Year's Eve was also the most crucial day, the very last day of the year. The grand sacrificial rituals were held today, and my household was already bustling with activity. He Huanhan's family, my family, and friends all gathered together to reunite and joyously share the New Year's Eve dinner.

During the late Qing dynasty and early Republican period, there was a family named Dong. Whenever the Dong family was mentioned locally, everyone knew them; they were a well-known, wealthy prominent family in the area, though their external reputation was not particularly good.

Hearing that Du Ruo was going to create a new dish, Yu Dacheng completely forgot about Lu Wu's "so-so" evaluation, his eyes shining brightly as he looked at Du Ruo.

Brother Tian's intention was obvious. He had already agreed with the people holding Tuanzi and Fu Yiyan that they would arrive there within fifteen minutes. If they failed to show up by that time, those people would realize something had gone wrong, and Tuanzi and Fu Yiyan would fall into danger.

My intuition told me that this necklace seemed extremely important to me, yet I could not recall why it was important to me at all.

Lu Wu had only slept for a brief moment before waking up. Looking at Du Ruo, who was sleeping deeply and obediently leaning against him, his heart was filled with the satisfaction of a wish finally fulfilled.

I must admit that in this regard, I truly admired Fu Rou. She was ruthless enough, even toward herself.

In truth, Su Jingchu did not demand much. Although he also wished strongly and dominantly that her heart belonged to him alone, he regarded her and his future and present as the most important things of all.

"But you just touched her." Just as Lin Jiajia was about to give up her persuasion, Fu Shijin spoke up unhurriedly.

On the contrary, Xie Wuji's expression remained calm, as if he had long known that Wen Cangsong would ask this question.

Some Xianbei people would imagine the yellow weasels to be messengers sent down to the mortal world by the deities above. As a result, when many shamans performed their trance dances back then, they would mimic the cries and postures of yellow weasels.

She knew she was very attractive and had many men pursuing her. While taking public buses, she frequently suffered harassment; some perverted men even followed her, wanting to force themselves upon her. She had already encountered this sort of thing several times.

"Flame Domain!" Li Qingfeng released the flame domain within his body, forming a massive ball of fire within a radius of one hundred thousand zhang around him.

Prior to that, she should still have been in her physical form, but ever since then, she had gone into hiding, leaving behind the phantom created by the "Mist Shadow" Mister to stall Nora.

The governor of Songcheng sighed. As expected of the Celestial Dynasty's army, their entire bearing and demeanor were completely different from those of the Goryeo troops.

Having finally grown accustomed to the sunlight, Qin Fan poked his head out of the grave-robber tunnel, opened his mouth wide to draw a deep breath of fresh air into his lungs, and then exhaled a breath of stale air.

Liu Xin touched her body in a daze. So that was how it was. Child's blood and all sorts of training were meant to cause a mutation in her ultimate-Yin constitution, transforming it to resist anyone with an ultimate-Yang constitution; unless she consented, a person with an ultimate-Yang constitution could do nothing to her.

"Me!" Xiang Yu was completely at a loss. He had originally wanted to just walk away and cut off Yu Ji's hopes. He believed that Yu Ji should not be tied down to Xiang Yu, and that she entirely deserved a much better choice.

Finally, regarding the escape routes, just in case, Xie Wuji even had Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun personally lead the disciples of the Giant Wood Banner branch into the back mountain for a full month, setting up even more, better hidden, and deadlier traps. This was to ensure that if things went wrong, they could safely retreat to the back mountain.
