32. Jealousy

Stormlike emotions churned in the man’s eyes, deep and intense, suppressed within him and impossible to voice.
Ruan Li was secretly amazed by Xu Mo’s acting, but she played along. “How could that be? You know that you are the only one I love.”
She lifted the knight’s chin and watched him obediently raise his head, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
The man stared steadily at Ruan Li. “I feel the same way, Your Highness. I love you, Your Highness.”
His voice was low, and his body rose with it, reaching—
“If anything happens, be sure to contact us.” Ling Luoxi suddenly fixed his gaze on Jin Yexuan.
But how could he rise along with Peng Lifeng’s ascent? Nian Huagang certainly did not consider himself some fool willing to give without expecting anything in return.
Everyone who had entered Ghost Mountain had died. No one had ever come out alive, and rumor had it that ghosts often haunted the mountain at night.
“Xiran, what are you thinking about?” Ming Yi stood beside me, looking down at me, while I could only smile awkwardly and shake my head.
I was like a child running beneath a sky darkened by storm clouds. Without an umbrella, all I could do was run for my life. Even if I could not see the obstacles ahead, I would not stop moving forward. Beneath that gloomy sky, only by striving onward might I find a place that belonged to me.

Last night, I had clearly thought of so many things I wanted to tell my father: my grievances, my sorrow, how much I missed him, and what was happening with my work.
Leng Feixue had intended to say there was no need, but when she raised her head, all she saw were eyes that looked ready to devour her. She knew no one there except Ouyang Yifeng, so she had no choice but to follow him.
I was breathing slightly faster, my chest rising and falling in rhythm. I leaned out from behind Jin Yexuan and, seeing no movement, met his faintly puzzled gaze once more.
I blinked with mixed emotions, let out a breath, and looked toward Jin Yexuan, who was also standing there with his head lowered in thought.
Marley’s mother made the bed for her while telling us to take good care of Marley and so on. We could only nod repeatedly; she hardly gave us any chance to speak.
The Young Master of the Kong family waited a long while without receiving the assistance he had expected, and the smile on his face gradually grew strained.
At that very moment, in the Luotian Sect hundreds of miles away, a furious roar accompanied by overwhelming killing intent erupted like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky, striking the hearts of every disciple in the sect.
The first general meeting of all the employees of the Zhuo Yuan Group was held aboard the Zhuo Yuan cruise ship. It proceeded smoothly and ended in complete success.
Song You possessed remarkable martial strength, but defeating a thousand opponents head-on was still beyond him. Even though he could contend with someone in the Grandmaster realm, he was ultimately still only at the Innate realm, and his inner force had yet to transform into true energy.
From what had happened that night, he could tell that Leng Zimo was a friend rather than an enemy. This was a good opportunity to form an alliance with him.

The Ice Palace was on the verge of being breached. He now had only two choices: abandon his attempt to subdue the Snow God Flame, or discard his physical body and stake everything on returning to the original form of the Flowing-Sorrow Flame.
The Palace Master of the Suwen Palace had not held back in that attack. Since Senior Lin Zhen had received it with ease, he clearly possessed at least enough strength to fight.
Amid the endless drifting ash beneath the night sky, Mei Sanniang suddenly let out a sharp cry. One thick purple bamboo stalk after another then came sweeping toward them in a furious barrage.
After the scene had fallen silent for a long while, none of the Lin family’s elders or stewards came forward to stop it. In other words, they had tacitly approved Lin Chuan’s actions. With no one holding them back, voices challenging him rose one after another throughout the entire square.
He charged straight toward Ye Kuang, seized him by the sleeve, and yanked with tremendous force. Ye Kuang’s body was lifted off the ground and then thrown into the house.
“What are you doing? Hmph! Of course I’m here to cause trouble for you!” said the sharp-faced, monkey-like man behind Gu Kuang.
Du Kang was still sprawled on the ground in a spread-eagle position, but when he saw what was happening, a trace of panic immediately flashed across his face.
Ling Feier instinctively took a step backward. She looked up at Leng Qingxi and finally found herself unable to hold it in any longer.
