Volume 1, Chapter 41: Why Did You Have to Let Him Win?

Fu Che's dark pupils deepened as a faint, pale light fell across his face, rendering the man's expression exceptionally stern.
Expressionless, he got into the car, his trembling fingertips slowly digging into his palms.
"Drive home."

Yet at the very instant the giant palm descended near the crown of their heads, they watched as the Dragon-Slaying Sword technique—which seemed capable of cleaving heaven and earth asunder—turned as fragile as paper against this hand, crumbling into nothingness upon the slightest touch.

Besides, the young man clearly had an injury on one foot now; although not fatal, it had become a persistent ailment that the young soldier could not afford to ignore.

Yang Jiazhen shook his head. He had no logical reason, relying solely on intuition—a flash of inspiration he could not quite explain.

Their seating arrangement formed a sequential line with Yang Jiahuad's group. Because they were in booth seats with high backs, and Qian Qiyue was seated directly behind Yang Jiahua, no one could possibly notice their whereabouts. They were perfectly safe.

Just as Chen Tong accepted the scroll with a joyous expression, Qi Ming's eyes abruptly turned into icy pupils, his black hair instantly shifting to azure blue, while his entire body radiated an intensely frigid aura.

They were all independent entities; fire could be extinguished, but what about the wind and water? Could they, too, be thoroughly eradicated?

"I'm alright." Watching the elevator doors being pried open and fresh air rushing into her lungs, bringing a sense of physical and mental ease, Qian Qiyue exhaled a breath of stale air and smiled as she replied to Lou Lin. Once the scene was mostly cleared up, she greeted Lou Lin and headed toward Yang Jiazhen's office.

Due to a difficult labor, she had spent nearly a month in the hospital. Though it had only been two days since her discharge, the full month of confinement was already complete.

Qian Qiyue put down her phone, got up from the computer, and pulled Yang Jiahua toward the sofa. "I need to rest for a bit." Having made them both sit down, she let her head tilt and leaned heavily against Yang Jiahua's shoulder, closing her eyes.

Long Ye's transformation happened in a split second. The moment before, everyone had watched him kneel in utter despair, but the next second, his eyes were bloodshot and a blazing radiance erupted from his body. Everyone was stunned. Long Ye was merely a powerful Blood Warrior whose vital energy had been completely exhausted; why on earth would he emit such terrifying might?

She had thought he was merely seizing the opportunity to act dissolute, but to her surprise, he patiently and meticulously taught her the steps to tie a necktie once again.

Her mother's expression froze instantly, her gaze returning once more to Liuxing. Liuxing, however, chose the best possible course of action: avoiding her gaze entirely.

Ning Guzhou simply assumed that Tang Miaoxin had eaten something bad and upset her stomach because he wasn't home to keep an eye on her, making it entirely his fault.

They had provided Chen Xianxian with the medicinal herbs, and Chen Xianxian was merely helping to refine them; on what grounds did she charge a commission of one hundred million?

"Lian Zhengdao, today I shall make you die with absolute clarity!" Du Ruo transmitted his voice directly into Lian Zhengdao's ears, using Ye Tian's voice.

Yang Tianle never expected that even with her taking such the initiative, he would remain completely unmoved. This man's self-control was simply too formidable.

The Cheng family was a top-tier noble clan in Yanjing. Back then, it was only because her mother knelt and kowtowed to them that the Cheng family agreed to intervene and ensure his safe departure from Yanjing. From that moment on, Chu Yun had cut off all contact with his mother.

If these people continued to act so unrulily, he would have no choice but to use overwhelming military force to deal with them.

Her Shaoer would reach the age of Jiwan by next year, yet unfortunately, her husband would never get to witness it. Thinking of this, Mother Ruan's eyes carried a lingering sorrow.

After Jun Moye and Su Hanhou finished their meal, Su Hanhou instructed Caiyue to go to the courtyard to decoct the medicine. Since they had arrived here, medicine certainly had to be brewed every single day.

Gu Jiaqi received the imperial decree returning her to the capital and bestowing upon her the title of Princess Lishan. At a moment completely unexpected by anyone, Chi Yuexi administered a drug to ensure Emperor Jing's successful entrapment and defilement. Clearly, Gu Jiaqi had previously taken a cleansing and detoxifying medicine capable of neutralizing any aphrodisiac concealed within the deep palace, yet she still fell victim to it. The drug used for this entrapment could most certainly not have been provided by Xie Tianfang.
