Chapter 23

“Uh~! Yue!” Nearby, the others, stunned by Meng Yueyun’s immense wealth and vast amount of space, hurriedly closed their gaping jaws and quickly called out to Meng Yueyun.

“Mingxi, these are all gifts from Young Master Xie. Before we knew it, a whole year has passed…” the eldest madam said with a smile.

“Angry, wife?” Leng Muchen leaned closer, his lips brushing against her ear, his warm breath caressing the side of her face.

The young man, upon seeing Long Chen’s massive glowing orb, made the folding fan in his hand disappear. Instead, a flash of blue light revealed an incomparably sharp three-foot-long green sword, with shimmering blue light coursing along its blade. Several wind-elemental energy cores were embedded in the hilt.

No wonder Liu Yi said she came here every week to eat the flavorful grilled fish. Even Ye Feng thought the taste was indeed quite impressive.

He couldn’t save Chiyu, but he could buy time for him. This father and son, separated for a millennium, unable to reunite, could at least have a chance to speak to each other in the moment before darkness arrived.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the trees, casting dappled light over him. As they moved, the light spots shifted across his body. He gazed at her with deep eyes, a trace of tenderness emerging amidst the interplay of light and shadow.

The hostile gazes between the two gradually changed. Both Yang Jiao and Lan Yu’er sensed something unusual in the other.

Su Man knew that the man before her, Yuan Shuai, was her lifelong nemesis. No matter how he changed, the familiar aura he carried could never disappear.

Yang Jiao quietly closed his eyes, immersing his mind in the Kunlun Mirror, searching for poems about “love.”

Seeing the other nod, he found it somewhat amusing. How could he forget? Living in seclusion in the back mountains of Baiyuan Peak and rarely making an appearance—who else could it be but the Senior Sister Bai Xu mentioned by Bai Li Zi?

To save time, he naturally didn’t rest by day and move by night anymore. Instead, he flew nearly non-stop, pausing only to drink Monkey Wine and restore his spiritual power when exhausted.

Eric Schmidt was naturally baffled by the intricacies of the matter. Li Feng’s sudden proposal left him shocked, but Eric also knew Li Feng’s character. His boss wasn’t one to speak lightly. Since he made such a suggestion, there must be a reason behind it.

If Lanting’s laughter was merely startling, Han Ziyun’s laughter at this moment had already reached a level that could easily be mistaken for madness.

The four had walked back and forth in front of the stone wall no less than ten times earlier, yet they found no signs of anything unusual about the wall right before them.

Moreover, Wang Yang and Wang Wushan repeatedly mentioned that although Youzhou City was not as large as New Yanzhou, it was comparable to Huanzhou City. However, its fortifications were even stronger than those of New Yanzhou.

“Rochester, you, you didn’t even stop me!” The young man bolted toward a corner like a cannonball.

Susu gritted her teeth and nodded with utmost seriousness, thinking to herself that the old man must be a bad person. That’s why the young master wanted to kill him and secretly bury him.

As for Broadcom, it could be considered both easy and difficult to handle. The company was currently applying for an IPO, and major shareholders were gearing up to cash in on the listing.

Every ten days, Bu an would hum a tune for her. Qingshan would refine it, occasionally adding her own flair. This time, the melody was grand and inspiring. Even as Qingshan played it in her mind, she could feel its heroic spirit.

Li Longfei answered firmly. No matter what, he couldn’t reveal Mingyue’s name. Who knew what chaos these people might stir up if their uprising failed? He had to ensure Mingyue’s safety on all fronts.

Everyone wanted to see if this critically ill patient—a frail old lady seemingly on her last breath—could be saved by this seemingly mischievous and uneducated playboy, this handsome young man who looked unreliable.

The mutated plants followed their orders ruthlessly. Dozens of vines lashed toward Zhou Yaner, some covered with thorns, others laden with poison.

In Beijing, it’s all about recognizing license plates, not people. Seasoned Beijing traffic police, with their sharp eyes, had memorized the special license plates by heart—knowing which cars could be stopped, which ones couldn’t be touched even if they hit someone, and which vehicles deserved a salute when they passed.

Hot, steaming hand-rolled tomato noodles with added meat made Ye Xuan sweat as he devoured them. “Slurp, slurp.” At the Ye Corporation, he was the dignified chairman; even at the Qinglong Casino, he had to feign madness. But at home, he was just the silly and goofy Ye Xuan.

Leng Yue panicked. “You’re saying it’s fine, but why is there so much blood?” Her sleeve was soaked with a large patch of red, but no matter how much she wiped, she couldn’t stop the continuous flow of fresh blood. An ominous feeling loomed over her heart, and her hands trembled with cold fear.

There will be one less chapter today, but it will be made up tomorrow. Thank you all for your support. Please continue to support Mou Hua.

From that day on, although Qingming no longer went home for lunch, he would always take the bus back from work at dusk to reunite with Zhang Lan.

She sat up and took the monk’s robe to the riverbank. Luochen sat there, gazing at the moon in a daze.

“Ahem, ahem.” Before speaking, Uncle Wang coughed twice. Every room in the Ye residence was ventilated year-round with a combination of air conditioning and natural breeze, but Uncle Wang’s chronic respiratory issues made him sensitive to even the slightest draft.

The Tortoiseshell Formation might sound a bit humiliating, but there was no denying its immense defensive power.

Under Jiang Yun’s soothing touch and voice, the Yin Spirit Realm Beast gradually stopped trembling. It even closed its eyes slightly, as if it deeply enjoyed the caress.

Bai Ze grinned but didn’t say much. It was clear he was quite satisfied with what Feng Chenxiao had said.

Thinking of this, the Great Protector couldn’t help but swallow nervously. His mind raced, and he felt a newfound fear toward Hu Qingling.

Seeing that Gao Fei refused to listen to reason, Zhou Keshuang said no more. He figured Gao Fei was too prideful to admit defeat in public. The best way to persuade him would be through pillow talk—letting Zhou Xinyi speak to him. After the gathering ended, Zhou Keshuang planned to make a quick call to Zhou Xinyi and bring it up.

Jian Ming nodded resolutely. The fiery passion in his eyes made it clear that he had moved past the shadow of his mother’s death.

But Boss Wu was no fool. He knew that if he breached the contract, Lin Feng could easily bankrupt the Qin family. Handing over the 4 billion yuan now might even leave room for future opportunities.

The protective barrier created by Xuan Hai and Xuan Guang with all their strength temporarily resisted the “Devouring Annihilation Light.” However, like the previous sphere, the barrier would eventually disintegrate.
