46 Containing Warmth

Because the grand event everyone had been planning for the Whale Deer Estate was about to begin, Shen Xun naturally felt the occasional glances cast upon him. Irritated, he glanced at Wang Mingzhi and the others, only to find that none were looking at him; their gazes quickly diverted. Before resigning, he had indeed secured a management position at a publicly listed company at a young age. With hands and feet, as long as one's bodily coordination wasn’t particularly poor, it was possible to surge ahead in a short time. Suddenly recalling why he had hurried from the gym, tended to his mother at home, and then rushed here tonight, the smile on his lips faded once more. Seeing the two descend, after exchanging greetings, he pointed outside the door toward Su Menglin. Su Menglin was momentarily puzzled but followed the direction of his finger and looked outside. Xu Zhaoxi kept pulling Su Menglin, running out of the restaurant and all the way to their usual spot. Although it was only a green-grade intermediate talent, Xiao Leng believed it was stronger than most blue-grade talents. Moreover, since it had rained the previous night, the grass was lush and dense—no one knew if they might step into a puddle or sink into the mud. The national master laughed heartily, raising his fist; the stone wall opposite him instantly shattered into a large hole. Since the opponent who had just stepped back was still waiting at a distance for Cheng Yiben to continue training, she was reluctant to see Cheng Yiben continue. "Good!" Cheng Xiyun dragged out the word; Tang Ye truly had a way about him, even convincing his elder brother to accept his sponsorship. Qingqing suddenly widened her eyes, instinctively worried about Star, just as she was about to ask, she felt something was amiss.

When the "Number One" and Master Xu were escorted to Hengzhou, Chu Ruhang and Zhang Jingxiu were supervising a large group of craftsmen modifying civilian ships. Pang Tong saw over a hundred people, about a hundred or so, all in extremely poor spirits. Such a large tribe had been slaughtered, leaving only these survivors. Clearly, they had exerted tremendous effort to escape. Zhao Xueying turned to glare at Huang Youwei, frightening the plump man into silence. Since Pang Tong’s army did not pursue, Zhuge Liang’s forces were greatly surprised. In fact, Zhuge Liang had prepared for the possibility that if Pang Tong pursued, his well-trained troops would immediately counterattack. Star finally sensed an unusual atmosphere in the air; even when looking into Shi Shaoqin’s eyes, he saw a pervasive fear. Qin Xixue noticed the young man’s gaze, her brows furrowed slightly, her pale delicate face showing displeasure, yet she was stunned when she looked at him. The group did not dare, nor need, to ignite flames—partly fearing detection by the aerial patrolling spirits, and also because the green light served perfectly as night illumination. Life’s ironies are laughable—just minutes ago, I was the predator; now, I’m the one fleeing in panic. Though helpless, his body was already reacting. His voice was hoarse and low, and in that instant, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Some words, when held in one’s heart for too long, become unforgettable not because of the words themselves, but because of the person behind them. It’s better to speak them and let them dissipate in the wind. You Yin finally voiced what he should have said to her ten years ago, albeit untimely, fully aware that the past was past, nothing would happen, and nothing would change. "The Seven Fragrance Divine Tree is already a thousand years old, and thanks to proper preservation, its vitality remains vibrant." Feng Duwu’s question shocked Ke Cheng, for only someone intent on reviving the severed limbs of floral trees would care about their vitality. "If you dare, I swear, I’ll make you regret being born!" a certain man gritted his teeth, curling his fingers. His narrowed eyes suddenly snapped open, sharp light flashing within; a strange, cold smile appeared on his furious face. No wonder he was called the divine thief. Zheng Hanfei marveled inwardly; such observational skills might even surpass his second personality.

The next day, Bu Chan came to visit Ai Wen, bringing news that Geler Changping had been taken away by Dong Yingxue. Upon returning home, Yi Yunshang went out again, leaving only the housekeeper at home. The meals were simple; Yi Ran was too exhausted to eat much, so she ate a little before going upstairs. "Royal brother, what has happened?" Ao Yixuan looked worried upon seeing Shui Jingyue’s solemn expression and recalling his urgent summons of Hou Jing. This day was a rare occasion of yin and yang reversal. Normally, the living would burn paper and make offerings to their ancestors, but today, almost all cultivators who had received the message gathered outside the Sanqing Sect. They waited because an extraordinary event was about to unfold. She didn’t know where to go now, nor had she any clue about the contract person. Mo Zili only told her that when the time came, the Nine Luminous Lamps would give her a sign. When Yoshioka Shin said this, he stepped back two paces, his gaze toward Madam Gao filled with caution. Qiuqiu had stopped crying but kept trying to scratch his scalp. I quickly held his hand; his eyelids fluttered as he looked at me. I could tell the child was in pain, but he was trying hard to open his eyes, as if to tell me he was alright. I held his hand tightly and kept talking to him. For some unknown reason, after a police officer showed his credentials, Jin Yan was taken away from my wedding like that. After hearing Tian Ci’s words, Xu Chen wanted to know what was going on. He nodded and then called his men to start digging up the grave. Meanwhile, Tang Yan and the others came over to Tian Ci’s side. What everyone had thought would be easily resolved had unexpectedly turned into such a situation.
