29. Chapter 29 (An Extra Chapter)
Gu Qingcheng, however, hoped she would look at it immediately, as he wanted to see her expression and learn how she would face this gift.
Zhao Weimou suffered a snub and felt his dignity shattered; he snorted coldly and went off to the side to sulk.
The patient in the ICU had been caught in the crossfire. Although they remained in a coma and had not suffered, Ji Rongyu, while treating them, secretly bestowed many benefits upon them, including a promise to permanently resolve their heart condition as a form of compensation.
Outside the carriage, the Prime Minister frowned. The Fifth Prince had arrived at the Prime Minister’s residence with such great fanfare surely to demand justice for the Sixth Prince. He had already been kneeling outside for quite some time, and this gesture should have been enough to save face for the Sixth Prince. Why then did the Fifth Prince still not dismount? Could it be that Yue'er had offended the Fifth Prince in some other way?
Leng Yutan’s brow furrowed imperceptibly; it seemed this was not the right time for him to stay.
"As a soldier, serving one's country is paramount; there is no question of fairness or unfairness," the fat man declared resolutely.
"Hehe, dear, let Ran'er go!" Wang Shiqing smiled, winking at her husband. "Playing is what she really wants to do, isn't it? And you were lecturing so eloquently just a moment ago!"
Wei Zhong was a drunkard who often stole wine. Aside from building his house, he had spent all the money Li Rourou gave him on dozens of jars of wine. A dozen remained, but he never touched them, burying them in the cellar to entertain guests in the future.
"These are all considered offenses. Should they all be tallied?" Wu Shihua glanced at the fat man. If they were all counted, Lin Youping would face at least three months of solitary confinement, an administrative reprimand, and a report to the fleet management.
"Speak your mind." Wang Shiqing had indeed endured Hu Zhaodi and the others for many years; her patience was formidable. This Great Madam—she hadn't borrowed a grain of rice or a scrap of chaff from them, yet she came into their home putting on airs. What was she trying to pull?
"Big sister, you actually don't recognize me, Yang Peipei? I, Yang Peipei, am the renowned opera master invited by Princess Yun'an herself to perform for the Empress on the Thousand Autumn Festival!" Emotionally agitated, Yang Peipei lifted her veil.
Thinking it was just another runaway horse, Nan Jiaojiao was exhausted from dealing with it. She cracked her whip backward, but instead of hitting the horse's rump, it was caught by a hand.
Yun Qing, however, seemed entirely unconcerned about whether it would die, looking up instead to scan the gathered demon tribes.
Shen Yuan ordered two desserts, asked about Li Xiao’s preferences, and then asked the waiter for recommendations.
A cute civet cat sat in the field. She wanted to catch it, but after taking only two steps, it scurried away as if she were a plague.
The problem was that not everyone was suited for martial arts; some found it difficult even to enter the path of martial cultivation. After joining the Black Water Gang, the gang had to provide for them.
In truth, with the strength of the Three Harmony Gang, it would be no issue to gradually erode and completely swallow the Black Tiger and Sky Eagle gangs.
Yan Xuankong glared at Han Zheng with hatred. After pondering for a moment, he used the power of his primordial spirit to manifest a set of seal incantations.
Cindy did not understand dragon language and, not knowing what had happened, poked the heel of Lucifer the dragon with her claw.
Most importantly, Jiang Niannian had good acting skills and was not bad looking, fitting the character perfectly.
The Village Chief walked out of the village office behind the guards. Upon seeing them, the guards stood tall and said, "Village Chief!" The Village Chief snorted and arrived at the front of the office.
After reaching the second floor, Xiang Hao sensed where He Ziling was located. He went straight to the door and knocked.
With the exception of the Breathing Technique, there was no harm in passing on the other chapters; the corresponding tasks could be kept simple.
Just as he did not ask what Yun Ting was doing, Yun Ting never asked what he was doing. They did not interfere with each other. If there was something to be said, they would say it when they were willing. If they were unwilling, no amount of questioning would yield a truthful answer.
Xiang Hao ignored the roars and screams, running the Ten Thousand Dao Technique frantically, his cultivation realm soaring.
Within the silver light, a winding body appeared vaguely, as if cast from liquid. A massive, silver-white snake head with flickering electric currents suddenly emerged.
Gudu followed by their side. Senior Sister Yunyi bought several kinds of fruit, which the vendors wrapped in paper for Qin'er and the others to hold in their arms.
Watching Rofina, who was still focused on her research inside, Xiao Feng gently pushed the door open and walked in.
After shaking off the Mantis God and the others once more, he landed on the ground and was surprised to see a city. Having been in the North Sea Continent for many years, this was the first time he had seen a city, and naturally, he wanted to explore it thoroughly.
Amidst many envious gazes, Nangong Ling'er politely led Xiang Hao away from the grand square to the Nangong residence.
Lady Liu took a large gulp from her teacup, feeling much more at ease as her complexion gradually returned to normal.
She tried to speak, but her throat choked up and her heart felt hollow; that which she held most dear had slipped away so effortlessly.
"Damn it!" Watching He Siye leave, Xiao Moke lost all his usual noble composure. In a fit of rage, he spat toward the direction He Siye had left and stormed inside to berate Jiang Dahai fiercely.
"This place is vast; there is definitely more than just this one location." Quan Shaoqing remembered that the place where he encountered the Nascent Soul had been a palace.
Yuegui helped Tang Muyan to the backyard. The Prince had come to attend the Prince’s wedding today, and he knew something like this would happen. He was a master of drinking, yet today, before he had even started, he was already drunk.
"As I said before, the dilemma of the Censorate lies in the phrase 'no one to use.' Once the Censorate returns to Suzhou, where will the people to handle affairs come from?" Xu Yuanzuo asked.
The third brother glared at the fourth, silently cursing him for being despicable. He had actually used a luminous pearl to win Nine Beads' favor. Ever since Nine Beads arrived, the fourth brother had ignored the third, hovering around her all day long.
Perhaps it was because she had accepted his marriage proposal last night that Zhan Tianyao, in his excitement, went wild and kept her busy for half the night.
His movements were forceful, one arm across her chest, a leg pinning hers, leaving almost no space between them.
