Chapter 44: Promise

Baoqin hugged the quilt and looked at her in sheer disbelief. That little wretch had always been so timid; she never expected her to pull such a stunt.
"How dare you hit me?" she covered her face.
Li Lan switched hands and slapped her again.
Chen Zixian walked up to the ward door and, peering through the glass panel, watched her husband meticulously caring for that child.
It was originally a beautiful scene, but because of Xu Yixuan's sudden remark, it vanished into thin air.
Fortunately, Luo Lin took good care of technicians like them. Whenever she encountered such customers, Luo Lin would step forward to handle the situation. Over time, such incidents stopped happening, yet the customers who came here for spa treatments still gave them cold shoulders.
Wu Yulin, who finally 'understood,' flew into a complete rage. Damn it, he had been helping her all along, yet she actually dared to give him attitude. He got out of the car, walked up to her, and stared at her rigidly set face.
Just when you thought it was a feint, the sword would pierce straight through your heart; if you responded as if it were a real blow, the blade would merely flicker and strike from another angle.
After finally snapping out of her trance-like despair, Jian Zhu once again caught sight of that familiar back—a somewhat desolate and lonely figure, yet one that emanated an incomparable sense of security.
She pressed the pillow tightly against her chest, as if holding her tightly in her arms, and murmured her name softly.
Seeing one of their companions killed, the remaining nine blood-winged bats snapped out of the agony of being scorched by the fire. Screeching with fury, they launched an attack on Yichuan.
Bradley led Saya straight to Spider Valley. The Spider Valley was as lively as ever—spiders hunting, spiders spinning webs, looking exactly as it had before he ever set foot here. The environment he had previously damaged was no longer visible; with their formidable reproductive capacity, the spiders had quickly replenished their lost numbers.
Qifeng could see the murderous intent rippling layer upon layer in the depths of those eyes, chilling one to the bone and making every inch of skin instinctively crawl.
Sigh, he had truly made a fool of himself this time. If he still couldn't coax Beibei back after this, his losses would be even more catastrophic.
At first, Shuoli managed to follow Jiang Yu's instructions not to touch Yu Yuanyang and the people of Changyu. But later on, as Jiang Yu's orders kept failing to arrive and he never once came to Changyu to inspect, Shuoli conceived the idea of building a demon palace in Changyu, so that once the hundred sects were destroyed, the Demon King could directly move his court there to reside.
On the other hand, Ziyue, upon hearing that the Prince was present, hurriedly dropped what she was doing and prepared to go outside and hide. Nothing good ever came of seeing Nangong Han.
Judging by Qin Shuyao's expression right now, the situation back then must have been quite interesting. Lin锦绣 (Lin Jinxiu) opened her eyes wide and listened as Qin Shuyao recounted the tale.
"It seems the Immortal knows quite a bit. That's fine, too; it saves me from having to explain in detail." Guo Yue knelt and kowtowed to Ye Hua once more. Her action caught Ye Hua completely off guard, and he hurriedly helped her up.
Watching Xu Fei's thoroughly confident look, Yefiya couldn't help but question him.
Because they had originally prepared to go public, but had to postpone it due to a product leak, all the layouts and setups already had ready-made templates. They only needed to replace them with the new product's information.
Deeply traumatized, she looked at Nangong Lie. As she gazed at him, she momentarily forgot that the man before her was the formidable big shot everyone had warned her not to offend before she left the Eastern Li Kingdom.
Logically speaking, a backlash from demonic blood should at most injure his vitality. The current situation, however, was obviously much more severe, and he vaguely sensed that this was connected to Ji Nuan's true identity.
Yan Xin sighed with regret, "Originally, my sister's sword dance was quite novel. I'm afraid winning the top spot was well within the realm of possibility."
