21 Containing Warmth

Xie Anlan accompanied Huanyan, but she asked him to wait outside, taking only Qiong'er with her to see Zhao Ruhan.

While Wang Nanbei and the others were busy earlier, they had not been idle; they had slashed open hundreds of bags of flour, piling them into several large mounds, with high-powered electric fans pointed directly at them.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall the other side of Mr. Qing, and for a moment, she didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart.

These tasks were usually handled by the household servants, but Chen Huai, bored out of his mind at home, simply took the duty upon himself.

Night Wing narrowed her sky-blue eyes, finding it quite strange: from the moment she began following Commander Black until now, he hadn't said a single word, just walking ahead as if he didn't need anyone to lead the way.

Amidst their dispute, Constand noticed movement nearby and immediately struck, but this time he did not silence his target; instead, he took a captive. Under interrogation, the man finally confessed that Zhuo Lefeng and Zhong Kaixin had been relocated and that there were internal problems.

It was clear that Losang had only heard of people like warriors and knew nothing else; Liu Xiu knew that further questioning would likely yield no useful information.

He was a man of grace, ambition, and character. He would not feel inferior because of Liu Xiu's performance, nor would he deliberately fawn over him, but since Liu Xiu had saved them, he would still observe the proper courtesies.

Inside the spacious private room, only Zhuo Lefeng and Yuchi Ying were present. Five minutes had passed since the agreed-upon time, and the friend Zhuo Lefeng had invited had yet to arrive.

What is done is done, and I do not wish to discuss it further. To dwell on it would only bring sorrow.

After entering the Phantom Forest, Young Master Mu headed straight for its center, as only by venturing there could he lure out fierce beasts, which was his only chance for survival.

I stepped closer, and Xia Xue's mother went mad, screaming at me to get out. It seemed she truly hated me; it wasn't just about Xia Xue, but also the way Xia Xue's father had treated her earlier, and she was pinning all that anger on me.

He had heard every word the butler said, but he grew wary, keeping an extra eye on him, and said directly, "You go attend to your own business; have Wang Quan come here instead."

Fang Qingyu did not understand. He could not grasp why his father would do this. He thought to himself, "Isn't the Old Master still around? Why make your son act as a servant to others? In this house, I am a man of status."

Tong En's heart was in complete turmoil. She was truly reluctant to let Zhong Yue go, yet she felt flustered and agitated whenever she faced him.

As it turned out, the reason this sword had been fighting with Bai Jianli all along was to test his body and see if it could successfully possess him. It had spent all of last night thinking about how it could be reborn, and after much deliberation, it concluded there was only one way: to possess someone else, and thus it would be reborn.

Then, the car suddenly reversed a dozen meters, and seven or eight men wielding steel blades rushed in.

"Say no more." The Prince knew perfectly well that all the things Lady Wen said were simply to maintain her control over the household.

Very well, since he already loathed her, she would let him loathe her to his heart's content. Perhaps then she could finally let go of her master?

"..." Jing Yiren stood motionless, offering no response, her expression tinged with disappointment.

Moreover, Gong Mengmeng's tone remained bewildered and indifferent from beginning to end, showing no sign that she had seen through the truth.

"Since we are going to the Xing family this time, we naturally must prepare a grand gift to present upon our visit, so as not to give them any excuse to say we don't know our manners," Nangong Yin said with a smile.

During these past few cycles, the physiological pain had been unbearable—perhaps a lingering complication, feeling very much like the aftermath of a miscarriage.

After returning to his room, Xing Xiaosen found his wife, Wu Xiangru, sitting there, still awake.

Wu Xiangru sat slumped on the floor, dazed, clutching the side of her face that had been swollen by Xing Xiaosen's blow, unable to recover for a long time.

"It hurts..." Pei Shiyu gasped. Aside from the initial lack of experience where men might not know their own strength, they usually exercised great control, but today, she didn't know what had come over him; it was as if he wanted to crush her, so wild and overbearing.

"You stay home with the children; I will head to the hospital and visit Grandma and Grandpa while I'm at it," Ning Yuan arranged.

The Crown Prince's expression shifted; sure enough, he sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching from outside.

Even if he were truly suffering from a life-threatening injury, with a master of the Academician realm like him present, could he really let Mo Bai die?

Ten experts appeared one after another in the center of the towering city, above the underground palace, standing on the vast platform, staring at one another.

On the other side, Chu Bufan and his group gave chase, completely ignoring Zhu Lin and the others, and headed straight for Yan Yunchen.

Thinking of his feigned nonchalance, which masked a truly despicable and shameless mockery, Li Yu felt a surge of frustration.

"I..." The Dragon God interrupted Chen Fan, continuing, "Chen Fan, you may not fully understand our intentions. This time, besides you, I am sending Dragon Five to accompany you. Likewise, the Blood Matriarch will have the Seventh Protector of the Yinyi Palace go with you as well."

Within the state of enlightenment, two rivers of Dao floated above Luo Chen's head: one was the Dao of Spiritual Power, and the other was the Dao of the Sword.

Legend had it that they possessed the bloodline of ancient demonic oxen mixed with other races, containing traces of the orthodox ancient celestial gods. Having followed "Jiang" in breaking away from the ancient gods long ago, they had rendered great service, thus becoming a superior race among the extraterrestrial demons.
