Chapter 33: The Golden Silkworm Curse
She carried the basket and set it on the ground. Inside the basket lay the very same partridge discovered in the well at Jiang Cha’s home.
Master Li’s eyes sharpened as he flatly denied it. "What kind of proof is this? Who is to say you didn’t deliberately bring a dead bird here to frame me!"
Seeing that Master Li and Jiang Cha were about to start arguing again, Granny Deng stepped in. "Since both sides have your own stories, I have a way to settle this."
Mao Jianhong followed along on the side.
Early the next morning, after the two had finished helping Feng Bai with her makeup and placed her hand into Long Haoyue’s, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The charming and captivating Liu Kexin strolled toward the five evil spirit employees, including Chen Kui, and began to speak eloquently, a fragrance constantly diffusing from her.
"That only means your skills are not up to par and your standards for yourself are too low," the Old Ancestor of the Cang family retorted.
Tu Yong said nothing, but he had prepared himself for a fight to the death. As long as Tu Li gave the order, he would certainly do everything in his power to eliminate the three of them.
"Expel me from the Wuying Sect? Ha, ha..." Regarding Tu Li’s decision to cast him out, the Second Elder showed no signs of discontent; instead, the corners of his mouth tilted upward as he erupted into laughter.
"Indeed, you are quite right." The Great Elder of the Feng clan nodded with satisfaction, his phoenix eyes clearly conveying the thought that perhaps the members of the Cang family were not all fools after all.
The man before her was the one who had helped her, rescued her from the depths of misery, and helped her exact her revenge. If she were to blame him out of her own misplaced sense of mercy, it would be far too heartless.
"Your student merely spoke the words I never dared to confess, bringing to light the feelings I have always been too afraid to declare."
Following that, Old Zhou’s eyes slowly opened. When he saw Xiao Ziyang, he said nothing, merely smiling slightly. "Young man, thank you for saving me."
"That is all, predestined one. Aside from the storage ring, the Heaven-Burning Sword, and this Nine-Star Compass, there is nothing else. However, I constructed this ancient tomb using thirty-six supreme spirit artifacts to form a spirit-gathering array, solely to preserve the tomb's current state."
Shaking his head, Leng Xiaohan turned to face behind him. There had been no one there before, but now there was a dense crowd of at least several hundred people, most of whom remained unconscious.
He jumped off the carriage and walked toward the Perfume Workshop. Seeing his master depart, Zhang Ning stopped the carriage and followed close behind.
Twenty minutes later, Tang Tian arrived at the entrance of the Second Hospital and dialed the number Liu Chong had just called him from.
By the time I reacted, I felt my body suddenly coiled by a force, and my flashlight dropped to the ground.
Qian Che had not come to see me for several days, nor had Lu Huai. Now that I think about it, it makes sense; they both have official duties to attend to. How could I expect them to come looking for me?
Today, the necklace she wore around her neck was the very same Graff intense pink diamond necklace that Zhan Mochen had gifted her previously.
It was true—if not for Mu Yexing, how could he and Quan Yulin have ever become friends? They had always been rivals.
He would seize any opportunity to extort and plunder without reason. Back then, he had merely drunk one jar of wine, and Chen Rui had demanded five thousand taels of silver. Today, although this girl spoke pleasantly and sounded reasonable at first glance, it was, in truth, no different from open robbery.
He was clearly stumped by my question and did not dare to draw a full breath. He sat down before me, so tormented that he had lost all his former composure.
There must be a secret hidden behind the Nine-Star Crown martial soul; otherwise, why would Mother have warned her so sternly?
It was a scene that looked like a haunted house adventure, yet it was inexplicably and awkwardly interrupted by the intrusion of an adult magazine.
