After hearing that my grandfather was hospitalized here alone, Grandma Liu Aihong hurriedly settled me in her home, packed her things, and, despite all persuasion, insisted on going to the hospital to take care of my grandfather. No one could hold her back. She said that all these years it had been my grandfather looking after her, and now it was her turn to do her part.

Before leaving, Grandma Liu Aihong held my hand. She seemed to want to say something, but couldn’t find the words.

...

“Move out? Why?” I asked in surprise. The landlord had previously mentioned that the house had become infamous because of me, maybe no one else would renew the lease, so she wanted me to rent it as long as possible.

She drove out of the villa with a smile, and as soon as she did, the cell phone rang: “Are you at school?” It was Cao Haiyan.

The price was rather outrageous. To be honest, wine wasn’t popular in China yet, and the food enthusiasts hadn’t swept through the wine market. Though Lafite from 1953 was indeed expensive, it wasn’t rare in the market. If someone was willing to pay, and searched carefully, they could buy at least ten bottles for that amount.

“Sigh, Yin Luo, have you laughed enough? Aren’t you afraid you’ll turn into an idiot?” Long Tian kindly reminded Yin Luo, who was still laughing.

These three tall, dark figures looked almost identical, standing in three directions, even holding their swords in the same way, as if one were seeing three duplicates.

With a soft sound, the sword pierced into Rehua’s chest. “Rehua~~”“Second Brother”“Second Elder Brother”—the voices of Nian Cao’s group rang out, but Night Alone had no intention of letting Rehua go. He dragged him sideways, and so, from Rehua’s chest to his left hand, a straight gash was pulled open.

Hearing Long Tian’s shout, the captain shuddered, his gaze slowly returned to normal, but the terror in his eyes would not fade.

Flower Bo sighed, saying nothing more, his heart still pounding. He had almost missed his chance to see his master alive.

With Brother Chen’s influence, after such a big incident, he would certainly find those people.

“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. From today onward, you’ll practice swordsmanship here with me. Claire will also live here from now on, so you two will be together morning and night.” Agatha spoke casually.

Once inside, seeing her dressed so maturely, every feeling in his body and heart surged—he simply wanted to have her.

As her “elder brother,” he should step down from being her safe harbor, but no matter what, he would quietly protect her.

At this moment, the Emperor’s heart was still filled with the Lady of the House; how could he accept a subordinate’s confession?

Still, no more overthinking. There were plenty of things yet to come. Wedding preparations were exhausting enough—what status should the three children have at the ceremony? Was it a bit too bold to get married with so many children in tow? My mind wandered.

Lance pointed at the patch of green grass before him, identical to the one from earlier. Sadly, the beautiful figure had long vanished.

In the eyes of the legitimate world, the underworld would always be a begging dog, eating only as a favor granted by the respectable.

“Wait for the soup. Uncle He’s soup is always the best.” I turned to the kitchen and lifted the soup pot, but before I even reached the living room, Kuankuan started crying loudly.

Lan Xue stayed in place, quietly gazing at Coco and her child for less than three seconds, then resolutely turned and left.

“You’re the one who’s pathetic. I don’t need your help. At worst, I’ll just do it all over again,” Karen declared with heroic confidence.

“Us? The three of us probably won’t even meet the witches before the bear tribe’s beastmen stomp us into mush!” The two half-beastmen fell silent at those words.

Sky had already met Colin, but she felt a bit embarrassed. Every time, it was Colin who saved her, and even now, with her powerful new vibration ability, she had still been captured.
