Chapter 50: Without Even Checking Out Whether He Is Someone Who Lets Himself Get Taken Advantage Of
"My wife is just amazing!" Wen Zongfu gently touched her cheek, and the two of them exchanged laughter and playful banter.
After the doctor came and completed the examination, Jiang Mi was cleared to be discharged and go home. Wen Zongfu had specifically come to pick her up, making sure she finished her meal before the check-up.
Jiang Mi asked, "Who cooked the food at home?"
Wen Zongfu raised an eyebrow...
Ah Da said, "One look is all it takes for anyone to know you are old men. It's obvious, what's so strange about it?" With that, he reached out and gave a push.
When An Jing said those words, he found it utterly unbelievable, because he couldn't even convince himself, let alone believe such a thing.
"Could you tell me your plan in more detail?" Gusinuo sighed, his attitude turning humble as he handed the token back to Tanya. He straightened his posture and waited for Tanya's plan.
Watching Su Yiyao's receding figure, Bo Yunlang did not engage in a prolonged argument with Yefeng. He knew this matter was his fault, and whatever Su Yiyao wished to do now was beyond his power to resolve.
Liu Feng had originally hoped things wouldn't be so simple. Most importantly, if everything turned out that way, certain things truly could not be accomplished.
He had once been a poor man himself, dirt-poor and frequently bullied by wealthy people like the village head, and he knew how bitter that tasted. Now that he had turned his life around and returned to the village as a man of wealth, if he went about beating people up the very next day, it would leave a terrible impression of him throwing his weight around and bullying others. That would ruin the perfect image he had just established yesterday. No, using force was absolutely out of the question.
It was mainly because the four major factions had poor relationships and trusted no one, which resulted in such a bizarre drawing of lots.
Faced with this sudden "good fortune," Ji Yongqin was left speechless. Just as he was about to express his gratitude to Guan Xi once again, Guan Xi had already left the jade-cutting area.
The voice sounded hoarse with a grating, duck-like raspiness that made one's skin crawl with discomfort.
He knew Liu Liu wouldn't do such a thing; even if he were really sent on an errand, he would still use the money provided, and wouldn't he manage to pocket a little extra for himself along the way?
This time, Yun Xiangrong had shackles on both her hands and feet, making each heavy step an agonizing struggle. Half of her face was severely swollen, as if she had been slapped across the face many times, not to mention her filthy clothes, which had long since stained her light green dress beyond recognition.
That night, at eleven o'clock, when most people had already fallen into a deep sleep, the renowned KTVs throughout Guangcheng District were just beginning their nightlife. However, inside the Golden Leaf Bar run by Third Brother Li in the North District, a commotion had suddenly erupted.
The emperor merely gazed fixedly at the rapidly retreating, slender figure, his gloomy expression terrifying to behold.
The sudden turn of events drained all the color from her face, but before the true essence within her body could erupt, a piercing beam of light shot forth from the mummified remains' half-closed eyes, striking Feng Qiuying squarely on the forehead.
Chu Yunlian instantly felt a flutter of anxiety in her heart and hurriedly straightened her clothes. Before she could even step out of the prince's residence gates, Jin Feng came down. Judging by her cold expression, she seemed somewhat displeased. Her sharp gaze pierced straight through Chu Yunlian, causing the latter's heart to skip a beat and filling her with an inexplicable sense of guilt.
In a brief moment, Tiansheng had already flown several hundred miles. What surprised him was that he still hadn't encountered any further danger. Could it be that the people from the Four Seas Jade Palace really had no intention of provoking him?
Regardless of what thoughts the Dowager was harboring, this marriage had after all been settled. The only thing left was to take Yun Muge's birth characters and compare them with the groom's; if there was no astrological conflict, the wedding process could proceed smoothly.
Additionally, the Nine Heavens Pagoda could transform its shape. The cauldron Dan Xunzi had mentioned earlier for refining the Soul-Fixing Pearls referred to this very pagoda. With each level unlocked, Tiansheng would be able to refine Soul-Fixing Pearls corresponding to that heavenly realm within that specific floor. As for its other functions, Tiansheng hadn't had the time to examine them in detail yet.
