Chapter Fifty: Exposure
After successfully securing a place in Jia Zheng's heart, Cuiliu did not let down her guard. Knowing she could not hide her pregnancy for much longer, she realized she had to work even harder to capture Jia Zheng's affection completely.
As long as she could attain the status of a concubine, coupled with Jia Zheng's favor, she would be able to carve out a living in the cracks, even if it meant incurring Lady Wang's wrath.
Fortunately, through all the perils, Cuiliu finally welcomed the day she was raised to the rank of Jia Zheng's concubine.
Although few masters in the estate attached importance to the matter, some influential figures within the household...
In the land of Hua, there was an estate guarded by four generals, situated atop Mount Yao and built following the natural contours of the entire mountain.
Yet this left Jiang Bulai speechless. When other people inherited the legacies of heroes, they inherited skills—how come you, Caesar, inherited such utterly bizarre things?
Sure enough, the moment he began to withdraw his blade, the section of the black sword embedded in his spine was the first to be pulled out. This proved beyond a doubt that the stab wound in his back was indeed inflicted by his own hand.
The raccoon did not fall. It hovered momentarily in the air, then drifted back onto the massive boulder. Showing no anger, it simply squatted in a corner, quietly observing the scene unfolding below.
The two of us were about to lift our feet and step inside, but the moment the door swung open, we abruptly saw a bent old woman standing within.
A writhing, giant ball of flesh appeared by the stagnant river in the eastern outskirts. No matter how one looked at it—from the left, the right, above, or below—it resembled nothing less than a massive lump of fat rolling back and forth, too grotesque to bear.
"Granny, could you tell me what this curse is really all about?" I glanced at Qiu Baoyang's mother as I spoke.
Yuxianglan had originally thought that Chao Gai was redeeming her for her own sake, but she never expected that he was actually buying her freedom for a legless bandit, which inevitably left her somewhat disappointed.
"Watching five cultivators at the early stage of the Spirit Lake realm go to war turns out to be this breathtaking and thrilling." Yu Youwei advanced several hundred meters before finally catching a clear sight of the rainbow ahead and the slithering bolt of lightning weaving through it. She couldn't help letting out a cheer, her finger instinctively pointing straight up toward the sky.
"Your Highness, let me handle these chores. Just watch TV, and I'll be done in a second." Long Xiang flashed a grin, speaking as he tidied up.
Chu Fangyun had wiped this chair down a dozen times ever since she arrived. Wu Xiaoyao had been keeping count because his eyes had been glued to her backside the whole time, so naturally, he knew precisely how many times she had wiped the surface beneath her.
"Stop babbling and get over here right now." Exasperated by Ellie, Maserati raised a foot and kicked Ellie squarely toward the youth in green armor.
Who could say with absolute certainty whether the mountains connected to the ridges behind Mount Daba were merely those so-called desolate, ancient forests? And who could guarantee that these woods were entirely devoid of large beasts?
The players who had originally been locked inside iron cages gradually regained consciousness under the brilliant illumination. Gasping for air as if just waking from a nightmare, they were overwhelmed by a lingering terror.
Turning to Qin Haonan, bathed in a dazzling white light, he felt the space and time around him undergo a massive transformation. When his vision finally cleared, what greeted him was a lush, verdant forest.
"It's not just the Immortal Realm. If you truly kill Wu Xiaoyao, even if our entire Demon Realm has to pour out in full force, we will tear you to pieces." At that moment, Linghu Dieyi, standing not far away, approached Wu Xiaoyao and took her position beside Lin Wan'er with a protective stance, as if sworn to defend him to the death.
"Peak of Monarchs, you have caused me so much trouble. Now it's time to pay the price," Qin Haonan sneered.
As the energy ripples pervading the sky slowly dissipated, the two figures high in the air gradually came into view.
Before he could even take aim and act, Gin stared in astonishment through the scope of his sniper rifle at the figure wearing a knitted cap, watching a chilling smile slowly spread across that cold, serene face.
Wu Yong that fellow must have taken bribes from Diao Zi'ang and his gang; he's acting like he won't rest until he catches a killer, which is quite annoying. Still, he wants to drag my brothers in for fingerprinting, but nothing will turn up, so I'm not worried about that at all. After all, those fingerprints belong to Liang Hongyun.
