Volume 1, Chapter 30: With Memories of a Past Life, One Does Not Fall for the Trap
At noon, the Ye family celebrated the reunion together with the Gu family, and Gu Jin even brought Xie Lin along.
The fact that Xie Lin did not return to the Xie family for the New Year weighed heavily on Ye Qiaojiao’s mind. After finishing lunch, she curiously prepared to go ask Sister Lin about it. Just as she arrived outside her uncle’s room, she heard the two of them talking inside.
Xie Lin gave a bitter smile. "Gu Jin, I only just found out now that I am not a child of the Xie family. The true daughter of the Xie family is someone else, and the fiancée you were betrothed to is also someone else. Now you don’t have to marry me."
"...Am I the kind of person who cares that much about a betrothal?" Gu Jin scoffed. "Anyone with eyes can see that my company has a bright future, and I..."
Fortunately, she was blessed with good fortune; when such a massive tree fell, they would have been caught in it if not for their luck. Luckily, Ling Baozhu only suffered a mild concussion, which set Lian Rong’s heart at ease.
Dong Qinran would rather die than suffer such humiliation. Looking at the expression of pleasure on the drifter’s face, she felt that her life was ruined.
The bodyguard shot through the rear car door with a pistol, opened it, and dragged the two of them out. He fired at their knees, forcing both of them to kneel on the ground.
Ding! System prompt: Do you accept the quest [Sufficient Panacea] commissioned by Sword Saint Ionero?
While speaking, Yun Kuohai glanced toward the lineage of Yun Kuotian, only to see that they all wore smug expressions, clearly indicating that they were the ones manipulating things behind the scenes.
His eyes held the two brightest stars in the sky, radiating a deep, fanatical light that shone upon his handsome face, blending into the most moving color in the world.
"You should get some rest too..." the Dark Prophet yawned, waking from his dream while listening to Fenghuo Liancheng muttering something.
Yes, although it was a bit of a waste of time, there was no other way. Arriving in this world, one had to first familiarize themselves with its rules.
"Township Head Di, please order whatever you like. It’s not often that you visit the village, so let me fulfill the duties of a host." Zhao Yilong smiled softly at Di Shenghua while exchanging pleasantries.
The fat man and I thought the same thing; this object was too common, seen everywhere, and nothing special. So we didn't pay it any mind and let it bounce away, rolling on the ground twice before coming to a stop.
A-Tu still looked dazed, scratching his head without saying a word, his footsteps silently following Shang Ming.
The plan I had just thought was foolproof was shattered by a single sentence from Qiu Liming. I carefully thought about a solution to the problem. I suddenly remembered that the first time I spoke to Qiu Liming on the phone was when I was in contact with "Tiger," so Qiu Liming must have a connection to Tiger.
I immediately heard a scream, followed by a flash of Qiu Liming’s dragon-scale dagger. I saw a streak of green light jump down from behind the fat man and quickly flee into the distance.
Wei Jiuxiao’s father was once a famous general in the Feng Kingdom. Not only did he die on the battlefield, but it was also rumored that he had defected to the enemy, leading his fifty thousand troops to surrender.
Therefore, seeing Mu Lingzhi appear before her so suddenly, Yu Ruyan still thought it was a hallucination; she must have been too terrified and helpless, leading her to long for his appearance.
These people became more and more outrageous as they spoke. Listening to the "punishments" they described, even they felt a sense of dread, let alone the listeners nearby.
Rong Xiu could not bear to see her stay awake, so once she had eaten enough, he took a napkin to wipe her mouth and carried her upstairs so she could continue to sleep.
Jian Tong took the cup, only to realize that she was shaking so violently she couldn't hold it, so she had to set the coffee cup on the table and hold it firmly with both hands.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a piercing scream. I didn't care who it came from; I quickly wiped the gastric juice off my hands, rolled on the ground, scrambled up, and continued running.
Regardless, Hongjun and the young man continued their bickering; Buddhism and Taoism continued their competition to be the ruling party; the cultivation world went its own way, and the various empires of the mortal realm were busy with their own affairs.
Although Wu Xuanming would not easily go abroad for now, nor would he find any excuse to rescue Lady Baihe, he realized that one day he would be forced out of the country.
Han Yu piled the wood at the entrance of the concave cave, took a lighter from his pocket, and ignited the wood. Instantly, the surging flames provided a trace of warmth.
"Mm, let me do it." Abby nodded and picked up the cover, while the dealer stepped aside to watch.
The Soviet envoy rose to leave, clearly reluctant. It could be said that if he returned empty-handed this time, it would be a devastating blow to the Soviet Union, and the domestic situation would become even harder to control. The Soviet envoy was well aware of this.
Imperial Concubine Wang, who was actually Bi Chenggong, walked out of the tent with a smile. When she reached Wang Baokun, she gave him some low-voiced instructions before leaving with a smile.
"You? Old Four, this guy is not simple." Wu Si stroked his chin as he looked at Han Yu, feeling somewhat worried; he knew better than anyone the strength of the punch he had just received.
Chu Yang could be considered to understand Sanzang; he knew that Sanzang had always wanted to live a peaceful life. However, one event after another had occurred, and Sanzang definitely hadn't had the chance to say he was quitting!
Now, she didn't even know how she felt about him. From her previous resentment to slowly not hating him, and now to liking him a little, she really didn't dare to see him, fearing that things would not develop in the direction she imagined.
"Boss, someone is coming," Zhou Weifeng said vigilantly. Having practiced martial arts for many years, he could sense the slightest movement in his surroundings and react in time. He could already feel that people were approaching, and not just one or two.
However, Dou Meiyi and Zhou Qingrou were not without opportunities. Whenever the Emperor was happy, or they gave birth to a prince or princess, there was hope for conferment. But for Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi, because they were singers by trade, the chances of conferment were very slim!
"Whether I am a man or not is not for you to judge. Besides, what does your appearance have to do with me? If you have nothing else to do, you had better focus on your cultivation. I am going to cultivate," Wu Xi said with an indifferent expression.
"So, does this mean it is now a confrontation between us and 'Bubble'?" Pepper asked, her expression one of disbelief.
After Zhenkong obtained information from Bian Ye that was almost identical to what Bian Liu had said, Luo Yao and the others finally clarified the basic profile of the ape-men.
Upon hearing Li Hong’s words, Hua Meng instantly understood that it was because of the Empress's obstruction earlier that he had forgotten to disable this waste, who had just tried to remove the Emperor's arm.
"Sigh, fine." The middle-aged ghost master let out a sigh, waved his hand in irritation, and then closed his milky-white eyes.
Matthew didn't know how to comfort her. According to his observations over the past two years, popular pop stars were all this busy, with almost no private time.
But this was not the focus of Matthew's attention. As the film played, it gradually approached the scenes where he appeared.
Are you kidding? They had nothing better to do—would they really waste time helping him find something that might not even be in the Eternal True Realm?
