Volume 1, Chapter 24: The Banquet, First Glimpses of Ye Wu’s Origins

It is the holiday season, and having just suffered a significant blow, I am now forced to endure the sight of couples flaunting their affection. Why is the world so unfriendly to us lonely souls and recluses?

"A migraine?" The old man looked at Wu Da. Clearly, the term was quite apt; he was indeed suffering from a "migraine."

"Ugh, the age gap is too wide. Three or four years would be perfect," Liu Zai-jun said, gesturing between himself and Zheng Yun-hao to indicate they were the best match. He took the opportunity to undercut Shen Zheng-huan, completely forgetting their cooperation just moments ago.

The rich kid who came to stir up trouble and attempted to abduct a girl last time had not been seen since. Rumor had it that after being thrown out, he refused to accept it and tried to rally people to cause more trouble, only to end up lying in the hospital.

Since returning from the Gold Coast, Mace no longer harbored prejudices against this outsider. She found that her heart was no longer resistant, and she even felt shy when seeing the young man.

Her slightly loose clothing concealed her alluring figure but added a touch of pure, innocent charm.

As a sorcerer, Haelar had many ways to extract confessions from his prey. He extended his hand, and a bright, portal-like aperture appeared. Reaching inside, he pulled out a strange device.

Furthermore, being newly wed to the Lu woman, he could not bear to slight her, so he planned to use his connections with the Situ family to find a suitor for his sister-in-law far away from Yanjing.

"By the way, I am a germaphobe. Remember to tidy my room daily and wash any clothes I change into immediately!" the voice drifted from Old Ghost Mo’s room.

It was fortunate for Zhou Ye; had it been anyone else who was so blind to the situation, Jin Si’s temperament would have made them pay dearly.

"Enlightenment—Sword of Wisdom!" The blue branch transformed into a long blue sword, appearing out of thin air before Zhao Li and piercing his chest.

Jiang Yi believed that the assassins from this organization would surely appear, and he only needed to wait patiently for them to fall into his trap.

There was another time when a roommate began sleepwalking, imitating Zhou Tong’s behavior by kneeling on the floor, kowtowing repeatedly toward the window. If they hadn't discovered her in time, she probably would have flattened her own head.

After leaving the Apothecary Nunnery, Zhao Fuxiang and Zhao Chongfang went to the Zhao family ancestral hall. Zhao Chongfang had exhausted himself the night before and originally wanted to rest for another day, but Zhao Fuxiang refused to delay any longer and immediately dragged him off to update the genealogy.

When these words reached Tang Aijun’s ears, she felt a bit unhappy, though she could not voice any protest; the psychological dependence she had on Xiao Daqian had not diminished much.

The Dongfang family was one of the preeminent clans in the capital, and the guests they invited were naturally top-tier figures.

Walking through the black mist, Zhao Li kept observing its effects, witnessing the emergence of strange, gaseous lifeforms within it.

After several more dishes were served, the Eldest Mistress felt she could not eat another bite, but the thought that she would be leaving soon and would no longer be able to taste Jiang Xi’s cooking made her grit her teeth and eat a few more mouthfuls.

Because they were heavy cavalry, it was inevitable that many of the enemy’s horses would be injured during the decisive battle against the Xiongnu.

Living in close proximity during this period helped them understand each other’s feelings. Cheng Fengxue finally faced his own heart; once they were out, they stayed together, and Cheng Fengxue even gave up his divine artifact to Huo Liang.

For the next two days, Qin Lin stayed mostly at the hotel, waiting for news from Lan Zheng-guo.

Inside the inner hall of the Silver Beauty Palace, the Empress slapped everything off the table in front of her. The floor was a mess, and the loud clattering terrified everyone into kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear.

With two skills, the enemy archer’s screen turned gray, while Nan Jin herself was left with only one-third of her health remaining.

The two chatted for a bit; Ye Yun-xiu did not ask about the online situation, and Nan Jin offered no further explanation. Both understood each other without needing to say more.

"Your cultivation is not yet high enough, so do not ask too much. Just focus on your cultivation. When you are strong enough, you will naturally understand the reason," said Prince Zhan.

Zhong Ming was responsible for protecting Cai Mao; even knowing that Qin Lin was an expert, he had no choice but to charge forward, hoping to give Cai Mao a chance to escape.

Entering the castle, Lin Fei followed Lisa through the brightly lit corridor and into a drawing room.

After all, a dashing young gentleman in the prime of spring is exactly the kind of talent every family scrambles to secure.

Seeing the situation, she decided not to meddle and instead woke the four guards, after which they left the military camp.

Old Woman Cai was left helpless after her son died, which showed that her family circumstances were poor; she even had to buy a child bride.窦 Tianzhang’s actions were equivalent to bestowing a favor upon the Cai family.

Opening her eyes again, she was in a different car, and the road was already familiar—smooth, wide, and filled with the gentle breeze of a March afternoon.

Hearing the steady breathing in his arms, Wei Xiao thought to himself that he was truly done for; he had fallen for someone foolish.

Song Tingjun looked at the old lady, then at the man with the cold expression, and turned to walk outside.

One side of Taiyi Mountain belonged to the Taiyi Army. Although there were no paths, everyone there had trained in the mountains and could walk anywhere.

Fang Yusheng nodded, took the hangover medicine from Su Wushuang, and placed it directly into Li Jingyi’s mouth. It melted instantly. When a cup of warm water was placed to her lips, she obediently swallowed it, then rested her eyes on his shoulder.

Seeing her expression, Qin Mosheng curled his lips helplessly and picked up a chicken leg for her.

The town under the shadow wailed in despair. The giant was close at hand; he was completely naked, and his bare foot alone could cover four or five Wu Jins.

The hall was left with only Qin Mosheng, Li Jixing, and Ruan Ruan, who was sitting to the side quietly watching cartoons.

As soon as Lin Cha left the hospital, she sneezed, not forgetting to mutter whether someone was missing her.
