Volume One, Chapter 30: The Girl Who Came Calling Late at Night

“Thank you, Doctor Jiang!” Gu Gongqian beamed with joy. She had barely knocked her head against the ground once when she suddenly fainted.

Back when they lived in the family compound, she did not work. Her husband was a clerk at a state-owned factory. He had recently been promoted to deputy section chief and received a small raise, earning eighty yuan a month.

The two of them burst into laughter, while I awkwardly recalled that beautiful campus and those innocent romances.

But no matter how poor a person was, one must never lose one’s dignity. Seeing Wang Zhigang’s provocative gaze, I said,

“Blizzard of Extreme Cold—Freeze...” With a soft cry from Jiumei, a bitterly cold wind began to howl throughout the spell’s range. Ice crystals fell from the sky, engulfing not only Tian Yin but also affecting the two groups of people.

He had taken over the Tang Corporation only because he believed Tang Yu was dead and Tang Yunsheng would never return. He had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility.

Beigong Cheng remained expressionless. He took a step forward and lightly entered the arena, stopping in the center with his hands clasped behind his back. He signaled to Duan Jie with his eyes.

Yu Tang brought people to rescue Xie Yanhui and happened to encounter the guards who had gone to summon reinforcements. Under their guidance, she arrived in time and safely brought the unconscious Xie Yanhui back to Qingfei Pass.

In all their lives, they had never imagined that one day they would be wiped out by a single slap from one person.

Perhaps it was only Bai Moxing’s imagination, but although she kept saying that she wanted to marry him, she did not seem particularly eager.

He gazed at Li Weixiao before him and blinked, rendered speechless. In the end, he merely nodded silently.

Xin Yu frowned, clearly displeased by Xia Zilin’s suspicions. Her eyes shifted several times before she suddenly reached out, seized Xia Zilin’s hand, and turned to walk back.

“What do you mean?” At the mountaintop, he stood with his hands behind his back, inexplicably melancholy. That girl actually hated him so much? He was not her mortal enemy.

“What? When did this happen?” The moment Dongfang Lingfeng heard that He Ya had met with trouble, his usual composure and steadiness were instantly replaced by panic.

With the nation facing calamity, there was no time to worry about much else. On the way there, Yun Duoduo had explained a few methods of self-protection. Without needing further instruction, everyone took handkerchiefs from their robes and covered their faces. That worked out well; even if the emperor had an extraordinary memory, he might still be unable to recognize them.

Xuanyuan Tianyue raised an eyebrow. “Could there be something between Qianqian and him that I am not allowed to know?” As he spoke, he shot Meng Chang a sidelong glance, a trace of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

“All right, then. Please go ahead, Your Majesty.” Qin Yao could only offer a reluctant suggestion—or perhaps an attempt at persuasion—as she extended her hand toward the hall’s entrance in an inviting gesture.

Although she knew perfectly well that the dead no longer possessed consciousness, there were still so many things she wanted to say to them. The previous night, Lin Shenshen had thought of countless words to tell her parents—her grievances, her sorrow, and how much she missed them.

How could Yun Duoduo not know of Leng Muhан’s feelings for her? So much time had passed, yet he had still gone all the way to the frontier to meet her. That meant that as long as she nodded, he would accept her even if she were no longer pure. His heartfelt confession at the frontier had deeply moved Yun Duoduo.

“If Your Majesty still does not leave, His Highness the Prince of Jing will probably send word that you are being arrogant.” Helian Heya poured cold water over Leng Muhan with absolutely no cooperation.

Bai Zhuyun left the room. Sitting before the dressing table, Jun Haixin gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Although she had maintained herself remarkably well over the years, she was, after all, no longer young.

When Feng Kebei heard Han Lianyi put it that way, she thought about it and agreed. Han Lianyi was her elder sister, the only person she could trust. Naturally, they should speak openly and honestly; coy evasiveness had never been Feng Kebei’s style.

Because if things from the real world could not be reflected into this world, then how could his clothes—even his weapons—have appeared here?

Yu Hu spoke with complete indifference, then reached into her robes and took out a slip of paper. Naturally, it bore writing.

“All right. I’ll wait for you in Baihuang.” Bai Zhuyun replied while reporting the location where he was currently staying.

One afternoon in mid-July, shortly after two o’clock, Wang Lifang went to see Zhao Hui. The two had arranged to spend that afternoon visiting Li Zhen’s home.

Given her cold and indifferent nature in the past, she had merely maintained a simple friendship with Pei Qingzhi on the surface.

“Let’s recuperate here for now and search for the inheritance. We’ll set out again in a year.” Xiao Tie made the decision in silence.

Lianyi drew a deep breath and struggled to force back the mist gathering in her eyes, compelling herself to pull together. She reached out and wiped away Lian Shuo’s tears, giving him a resolute smile. It told him that no matter how bitter or difficult the days ahead became, the brother and sister would face them with smiles.

“If you didn’t hear me, forget it! Let’s go eat. I’m hungry!” Han Lianyi fled out the door in avoidance.

[Basic Soul Capture]: An apprentice-level summoning spell. After casting it on a target, you can capture the target’s soul by killing them within four seconds, but you must possess the corresponding soul crystal.

After Liu Guannan returned to Yulin Bay, he first reported the situation in Lehui County to the committee. When Qin Songwang heard about Sun Dalei’s plan to catch the adulterers, he laughed for quite some time before finally managing to stop. He nevertheless tacitly approved the idea; after all, it did not violate any laws.
