Volume 1, Chapter 66: He Is Here

Actually, she had no such intention at all; she merely wanted to let the sea breeze blow over her to clear her mind.

Yet... trapped now in the enemy camp with her life hanging by a thread, how was she to escape? How could she possibly break free? If they never met, they wouldn't fall in love; if they never truly knew each other, there would be no yearning... How cruel is fate? Why allow them to meet and understand one another, only to deny them the blessing of a lifetime together?

"Ye Xiaomei, stop letting your imagination run wild. If you really miss him, wait until his plane lands in Hainan and give him a call." Fang Qingyou, seeing right through Ye Xiaomei's thoughts, offered her advice with a smile.

As soon as they stepped through the front gates, they found the layout of the main hall identical to that of the Fragrance Pavilion. It catered to all sorts of guests, dividing the service into five distinct tiers. The higher one went, the more prestigious it became.

Conghan hurriedly slipped out from Lin Feng's embrace, chiming in, "I'm coming." With that, she scampered away. Lin Feng stood right where he was, watching her retreating figure with a gentle smile.

Seeing the ghostly, flickering light in his eyes, I lacked even the courage to confirm it. Striking my chest dramatically, I declared, "Such a bold bug, daring to disturb Your Majesty's peaceful slumber! This humble servant shall go fight it to the death! Unless one of us falls, this servant will never dare return to face Your Majesty!" With the posture of someone spoiling for a duel, I bolted out of the room.

When Su Hao regained consciousness, she was in the intensive care unit. Her entire face, save for her facial features, was wrapped tightly in gauze.

"Wow, these are all my favorite foods! Mommy, I love you so much!" When Ning Yuanlan came out after washing her hands, she saw a table full of her favorite dishes and hugged Lin Xinjie happily, refusing to let go.

Ling Mo said nothing more, only holding her tightly. The self-reproach in his heart would not simply vanish just because she told him not to blame himself.

"Susu, what is there to worry about? Long Ziyan might just show up at school this afternoon," Mu Wei said, feeling that her good friend was simply borrowing trouble.

Before Zhao Xinxin could recover from the joy of victory, she was shoved hard once again. The person who pushed her this time was none other than Chu Wei.

Moreover, they could clearly sense that Han Yingju was not very attentive toward them; it was merely Madam Liu forcefully trying to matchmake from the middle.

Her heart was trembling. She desperately wished that even if Yun Aiyi's mind suffered from issues, Pei Mo would at least remain unscathed.

She had no idea why she had ventured into the military camp; it seemed she was just trying to flee when she happened to run right into him. On a whim, he intentionally ruined her escape plan, took advantage of the moment to flirt with her, and left a lingering kiss upon her neck.

Feng Qingyao's intertwined fingers slowly loosened, only to clasp tightly together again a moment later. Her heart surged with reluctance and desolation, making her deeply unwilling to leave.

Her chillingly cold and stunningly exquisite face betrayed no hint of whether she intended to resign herself to staying here or if she harbored other plans.

Whether Yun Zichen liked Benina or loathed her was entirely his own affair, and had nothing whatsoever to do with Gao Wangjing.

Overwhelmed by a restless irritation, he finally could no longer resist the urge to go look for her. Yet, the moment he drew close to her, he reined himself in once more.

Wang Ji did not deign to argue. What self-made king who started from scratch would ever kowtow in gratitude for the meager scraps tossed out by others?

Thus, though he claimed it was nothing, the deeply gloomy expression on his face still managed to make Yang Guozhong feel rather awkward.

Gu Yu took Li Mao by the arm and escorted him to the seat of honor. Yet, following the bizarre and awkward scene Li Mao had just created, Bilge, who had long prepared a lengthy speech of censure, suddenly found himself at a complete loss for words. Fortunately, the elderly Gu Yu first broke the silence after settling Li Mao into his seat.

That was the dual power of the abyss and the earth's veins; it couldn't possibly be limited to mere flight. There had to be some other terrifying ability as well.

A soft and alluring voice drifted into his ears. To be completely honest, Wang Ji was somewhat bewildered.

Right as the silvery-white spear closed in, the yaksha's form was finally revealed amidst the emerald-green flames.

As for Zhang Duo'er, she too found her other half through a business marriage, spending the rest of her days living in mutual, polite respect with her husband.

While on duty, the apprentices were also tasked with crucial labor: collecting corpses, digging earth, and chopping timber.

"No," Ji Xinyan wanted nothing to do with her, fearing that in one of her mad fits, she might unleash all her tricks upon him.

Yet the people present were in no mood to listen to their explanations. The moment they saw Li Mao enter, they scrambled to their feet in a panic, hastily executing grand bows to pay their respects.

When the thick mist surrounding Xueyu dissipated, she stood outside the royal palace. The surrounding demonic guards stared at them coldly, though the curse bound them from launching a direct attack.

Kwon Yuri stubbornly refused to let Choi Sooyoung wear high heels, forcing her to pick a pair of plain black flat leather shoes. Standing side by side with Kwon Yuri, they were now of equal height, and everyone was finally satisfied.

Bidding farewell to his fellow practitioners at the Xuanetan Palace, Zhao Ran returned to the Chunfeng Veranda, clutching a stack of periodicals and heading straight for True Person Zhou's courtyard. He had brought back these publications primarily to help True Person Zhou pass the time and relieve his boredom.

Could it be that this Director Li was not actually Kevin, but merely someone who happened to share the exact same name?

The moment the words left her mouth, she realized she was now sitting right next to Andy Lau, transformed into... Wang Li, the character played by Rene Liu! Meanwhile, Wang Baoqiang had been duped into going off to donate blood.

Alphass also noticed that Mico's eyes were sightless. Although he had previously reviewed the dossiers of all the members of the Goudin Pirate Crew, standing face-to-face with the actual members now filled him with genuine admiration for these young people.

That romance had been far too brief, leaving no particularly deep impression on Sunny. It seemed to have ended before it even truly began; once past, it was past. Bringing up the past felt as utterly detached and devoid of feeling as discussing someone else's love affair.

Wolfsburg's intentions were crystal clear, so in the dying moments of the match, they opted for stubborn time-wasting and a desperate defense. Real Madrid, naturally, could not sit idly by, launching wave after wave of fierce attacks throughout those final thirty minutes.

Over the course of a few days, some trainees who had never known hardship inevitably began to grumble. Who knows who started it, but they secretly began building snowmen on the lawn behind the building, molding them into all sorts of comical shapes to vent their frustration, with Park Bom showing the greatest enthusiasm.

Heaven and Hell were destined to be locked in an eternal struggle to the death, with absolutely no room for a negotiated peace. Once Hell was purified by the Heavenly Realm, every single demon was destined to perish.

Ever since Faming heard this tale, a quiet desire to emulate his predecessors had stirred within his heart. If he could trade his broken body for the peace and happiness of his parents and younger brother at home, he would fulfill his duties of filial piety and fraternal love.
