Volume 1, Chapter 38: Gu Hanxiao Says He Will Provide for Her and Take Care of Her

He was so beautiful, so fragile, as if a mere gust of wind could blow him over; how could he possibly be the world-destroying villainous boss?

Zhong Yun recalled how the leaders of the forestry hospital had once earnestly urged him to stay, but alas, at that time he was still chasing a life of prosperity and luxury; how could he have been willing to waste his youth in a desolate, godforsaken forestry station?

The intrigue of the imperial court was tiresome and vexing. Ning Zhaoyang wanted someone like a blank slate—someone of humble status, decent appearance, and fragile enough to evoke pity.

Just as he was about to ask his father why he would say such things in such a jubilant atmosphere, Master Yun suddenly moved to bow deeply toward Jun Qing and Lu Ya.

Back then, the barbarian general had not yet fallen for her, so he trusted her words and went to investigate those Central Plains people.

Considering the severity of Jia Dongxu’s injuries, he would need nourishment after the surgery. Therefore, in addition to the 500 yuan for surgical fees, this crowdfunding effort also had to raise 100 yuan for his nutritional needs.

"It seems that, nine times out of ten, this is aimed at us." He pondered intently, running through every possible outcome and considering appropriate countermeasures.

She examined the black pill over and over, feeling inexplicably as though the thing were deliberately preventing her from consuming it.

Wang Ming, as the old master’s assistant and the butler of the villa, was well aware of the situation with Lily’s family.

It appeared to be an ironware shop, displaying various farm implements and household tools, such as kitchen knives, shovels, and hammers.

"There is no need for that, Prime Minister! There is no need!" Xun Yu hurriedly tried to comfort Cao Cao. In his mind, his Prime Minister couldn't possibly be that unlucky! He had encountered a rare southeasterly wind in winter; could Zhou Yu really have arrived at that exact moment to set fire to the fleet?

Long Yi’s car screeched to a halt, made a U-turn, and headed back. Before the vehicle had even come to a complete stop, Chen Mengsheng flung open the door and darted onto the roof of Old Water’s house in a single bound. Not long after, Chen Mengsheng opened the door to Old Water’s room. Old Water was seen being dragged out by Chen Mengsheng, trembling while clutching two large bundles in his hands.

After Professor Chen Jinting discovered this scroll of sheepskin, he spent two full years trying to decipher its contents, only to ultimately meet with no success.

"I am grateful to Young Master Shui, but I still need to think about this matter." Last time, Young Master Shui Muxia’s fan had only offered secret assistance, but this time, he was helping openly. How could she repay such a debt? And what could he possibly be after, helping her time and again? She sighed softly, not daring to entrust herself to him lightly.

Puli A'yi, her anger still not dissipated, said, "Why didn't you follow the plan!" Chen Mengsheng gave an awkward laugh without refuting, while Puli A'yi snorted coldly, emerged from the bushes, and followed the black-clad figures.

Zhuo Yifan had not yet grasped the situation when a warm, gentle aura enveloped him. This was the unique skill of the Ice Heart sect, "Heavenly Healing." The only person here capable of such a skill was Zhuo Yingyan. When Zhuo Yifan turned back, he saw Zhuo Yingyan smiling slightly at him.

Ye Xingyu’s words made Zhuo Yifan blush. In the past, he had been a completely hands-off leader; there were very few matters within the faction that he personally attended to. Of course, the entire faction simply regarded him as a source of faith, the soul of the organization, never daring to hope they could see this god-like figure on a daily basis.

After hearing what Professor Chen said, Bai Yi did not say a word. She simply managed a forced smile at him before stepping forward into the darkness ahead.

He had originally wanted to offer some polite pleasantries, but after his lips trembled for a long time, he could say nothing at all. He turned, gathered his robes, and ran, nearly tripping over his own feet. As for the hardship he might face upon returning to the manor, he truly could not care less right now; all that mattered was getting as far away from that malevolent star as possible.

Upon hearing what they said, Zhuo Yifan grew nervous once again. Zhuo Yingyan skillfully cast "Heavenly Healing" to restore his health to full, while Ye Xingyu gripped her staff tightly, ready for battle at any moment.

"You may go. Today, the Soul Domain was indeed in the wrong, but if anything happens to him, the Soul Domain will hunt you to the ends of the earth." The middle-aged man knew he was in the wrong; having failed to snatch the prize and seeing Yun Xing turn the tables to take the initiative, he was full of resentment but had no choice but to remain defiant to the end.

"Although the factory has prepared two sets of electromagnetic shielding equipment, under normal circumstances one operates while the other serves as a backup. However, to prevent a sudden failure of the operating equipment while the backup has not yet been fully repaired or serviced, the factory has established a policy of irregular, random shutdowns for brief maintenance."

Ichikawa Hanako ignored him. Ichikawa Goro walked over to her side: "Hanako! Father and all four brothers died at the hands of He Qingshu; do you think I am not heartbroken?"

The Sun Essence Bead and Moon Essence Bead in Huang Huan’s hands had not been absorbed in the slightest! Yet his expression seemed much calmer than before, which brought a sense of relief to everyone.

Zhou Qing said as much and acted accordingly. He stayed to keep Wan Yuanyuan company until noon, at which point he received a phone call and departed.

Zhang Yi’s heart felt completely ice-cold. Looking at Wang Ru’s smiling face, he felt an urge to punch him a few times. He felt incredibly stifled, yet he had to face that detestable smiling face and speak pleasant words, as if someone had struck his right cheek and he had to offer his left, smiling while waiting for them to strike again.
