Volume 1, Chapter 49: The Food Tastes Awful

Wan Mengmeng immediately realized what had happened and shouted angrily, “You did that on purpose!”

Jiang Rui made no attempt to hide it. Instead, she smiled brightly. “Yes. I did it on purpose.”

This time, Qianye gave the two of them no further opportunity and hurried out of the courtyard with Shaohua.

However, when the host spoke that familiar name, Shen Mubai froze. She even forgot to eat the potato chip in her hand.

Two comments had already been posted. Surely this author, A Dream of Floating Life, could not sit back and do nothing again this time.

One hand slid down from the man’s neck, circling suggestively over his shoulder blade before caressing the perfectly defined muscles and reaching farther in.

“You’re supposed to be staying at the training camp. What are you doing here!?” Mutong glared at the two people before her with an exasperated expression.

This was the Gu residence. Mo Nansheng and Chi Qing had gone to inspect the riverbank where the dike had burst and discuss how to deal with it. They were not here at all—everyone in the Gu household knew that.

But a plump, round object came wobbling over from not far away.

“Don’t worry. Even if you tear the sky open, your husband can hold it up for you. Just don’t let yourself suffer any grievances. Remember this: if you can beat them, fight; if you can’t, run. Then come back and tell me, and your husband will personally go and beat them for you!” Yun Haotian spoke with imposing confidence, though his eyes were gentle.

Seeing his ingratiating, fawning manner, Yun Haotian’s heart softened. They really were mother and son—their expressions when currying favor were exactly alike.

He casually pulled out a long strand of hair and touched it to the edge of the blade. It happened in an instant.

“To put it plainly, although the Four Great Divine Beast Families are considered the four largest clans in Haotian City, they are still merely the peak of second-rate powers. Compared with the four great forces of the Heavenly Domain and the Heavenly Domain Academy, they are far inferior. Long Yidi has now taken control of two Divine Beast Families. His goal certainly cannot be limited to this.” Xue Ningxue wore a bitter expression.

The profound tenderness they had shared that day would surface from time to time, leaving him with a measure of joy, a measure of bitterness, and a measure of longing.

“Then let me die! Just seeing someone like you still alive makes me furious. I’ll take you down with me!” Bao’er cried angrily.

Wen Yang vaguely sensed that Chen Chen had come to persuade her with some ulterior motive. It seemed that this was not merely an attempt to bare her heart.

He shook his head, waved his hand, and pointed at his own head. Shizuka immediately understood: he had hit his head and had temporarily lost his voice.

“How did you do that?” Wuzhui could not help drawing in a sharp breath, a chill running down his spine.

“She is the spirit of the Purple Jade Bell. The Purple Jade Bell is no ordinary spiritual artifact, nor is it merely a spirit weapon treasured by cultivators. Its grade is far higher. You will understand once you experience it for yourself.” Dugu Buruo spoke with a pale face.

“Absolutely not! Father is already having a very difficult time. Bringing me to Fangzhou to see you meant taking an enormous risk. There are still many ill-intentioned people in the imperial court plotting against us. If Big Brother did that, would it not harm Father as well as himself?” Pan Weizheng pleaded anxiously.

Seeing Luo Yi lying there in a state of uncertain life or death, Lilith rushed forward. Her pretty face had gone deathly pale, and her entire body seemed to have lost all strength. Her hands and feet were icy cold, while tears poured uncontrollably from her eyes. She buried her face in the crook of Luo Yi’s arm and sobbed until she was drenched in tears.

This man displayed unparalleled lightness skills the likes of which he had never shown before. Yet when he approached that fissure, he suddenly retreated.

Many people inwardly cried out in dismay. If Jing Chen held a grudge against him today, then once Jing Chen became a powerful sword cultivator, even Icefield City might be unable to protect him. The consequences would be far more serious than simply paying a hundred gold coins.
