Chapter 20: She Was Angry With Herself

He originally intended to break off the engagement on the grounds of Lu Qingyi’s ruined reputation, so that no one would question it. But if her chastity remained intact, ending the engagement today would inevitably bring criticism.

The crowd swallowed nervously, staring at the delicious soup swirling with tantalizing meat, their stomachs rumbling audibly.

Long Jianfei spoke bluntly, without unnecessary embellishments, and explained the situation in detail.

Wang Ye turned his back to them and waved his large hand; A De, responsible for punishment, hastily stopped, and Deng Lin nearly fainted from the pain, barely holding on.

Grandpa Cheng was furious: “Still daring to deny it! I think you deserve a good beating!” He scanned the surroundings, his gaze landing on a stick in the corner. He quickly stepped forward, seized the stick, and strode toward Cheng Yan.

The battle ahead was almost over. Gan Zhuozhi suffered a crushing defeat, falling to Liao Shishan’s blade. There were tens of thousands of captives, over twenty thousand escaped, and countless casualties.

She smiled and nodded, nuzzling into his embrace, finding a comfortable position to lean against him.

The old lady’s stroke was severe this time; the chances of recovery were slim. For the rest of her life, she would likely be bedridden. If cared for well, she might still speak, but regaining her previous clarity of speech was absolutely impossible.

Xie Qianli struggled desperately, already at his limit. A few more moves and Tieniu struck his right arm with a heavy punch. The force was immense, and he could no longer hold his treasured sword, which clattered to the ground.

“Xuemeng sister, just tell us. We won’t look down on you.” Madam Wu was eager to uncover the secret and could no longer contain her curiosity.

“You, you are!” For some reason, Zhao Ping’er was too emotional to speak the words she wanted to say.

He unzipped his pants, restraining her hands while lifting her hips. With fierce resolve, he claimed her.

Shan Jiatong sat across from Li Haonan, deliberately passing cards to him repeatedly, her glances filled with charm and an indescribable allure.

She and Beidou were bound by a life contract. Though she had been dormant, through their mental connection she had a rough understanding of events around Beidou, supplemented by Beidou’s explanations. Now, she comprehended the current situation.

“How wonderful, it makes me want to reach out and touch it,” the man said, swallowing hard before stretching his neck straight again.

But at this moment, Bright was feeling even worse. The power of Sophie’s Fate Wheel far exceeded his expectations. Though the Light Sword ultimately shattered the Fate Wheel, it too was dispersed by the wheel’s force. These two mighty attacks canceled each other out.

Anya was pregnant! Hearing Li Haonan’s excited and joyful voice, jealousy, like a venomous serpent, crept through her heart. She nearly lost her reason, wanting to call Li Haonan immediately, rush to Anya’s villa to catch them in the act, and scold them both fiercely. Yet in the end, she did nothing.

All thanks to the Fire Spirit, now locked in fierce combat with a four-legged python. Nearby, three humanoid puppets could only occasionally kick in.

She hurriedly stood up, searching around, but the mist before her made her feel trapped in a labyrinth. No matter which way she went, there was no end. She wanted to call out, but no sound came.

Mo Hua remained silent, then glanced at Master She with a thoughtful look, the murderous intent on his body flickering faintly.

As soon as he turned, the insulated bucket was fiercely grabbed by a half-paralyzed man and thrown forcefully at him.

Daring to lay eggs in the Spider Queen’s nest and covet her offspring meant the egg-layer did not regard the queen at all, even treating her lair as a “greenhouse” for nurturing its young.

“Please continue questioning, I’m fine, I can endure it,” Wang Qihua said hoarsely after wiping his eyes.

In short, this kind of martial arts deduction was within Lu Ming’s acceptance. The benefits were clear—enhanced combat power on one hand, improved gaming performance on the other.

By the time he returned to the police station, it was mealtime. Shen Mei had brought him food from the cafeteria and placed it on the table. As he ate, Wang Dayun made a discovery.

Zhou Jiaoran came to Moon Lake, so Zhang Xueyi was willing to risk suspicion to meet her.

After returning to his room, Mo Hua’s resolute expression vanished, replaced by hesitation and anxiety, torn between hope and fear.

Yet his expression changed upon sensing a slight fluctuation in his spirit, triggered by a fleeting thought.

The secret realm of Sky City and the Dragon Clan’s advanced cultivation Dragon Token represented opportunity and chance.

Wang Jiudan finished urging and gave a signal to the tall youth beside him, but the boy did not notice.

Hot blood flowed over the snowy white flyer; his consciousness blurred and his breathing slowed.

However, whether the informant was trustworthy and whether the information was useful could only be truly confirmed after meeting face to face.

She waved her left hand, and a shimmering curtain of water appeared in the air. With several more overlapping gestures, the water curtains piled up into a barrier over thirty feet thick.

Liang Shouren’s face showed joy, clearly aware that Xiao Mo’s presence would greatly enhance the auction.

At a sharp sound, the 2x scope in Qin Kun’s hand instantly shattered into energy fragments.

Awakening slowly from the sting of icy seawater, Xiao Mo felt a splitting headache. As he recovered slightly and looked around, he found only murky water; Ming and Yue were nowhere in sight. Alarmed, he began searching frantically.

After considering, Ling Feng continued, “The Yin Gui faction officials can be relied upon. As for the Five Elements Sect, I can give it a try. Judging from that day’s situation, Zhuge Yuntian should be trustworthy!”

Carelessness was one problem, another was that this fellow seemed to drift off in thought while refining pills.

“I heard your body is very strong. We didn’t get a chance to spar at the last banquet; I hope this time we can!” the marquis said with a smile.

This made her feel deeply wronged, yet she could not utter a word. The events of the past gave rise to the present outcome—this was the best portrayal of her fate.

Huo Xi hadn’t even had time to greet him before rushing onto the plane in several quick strides. The helicopter that had just landed immediately closed its cabin doors and took off.
