Chapter 38: Insisting on Marrying Him

The matchmaker was a professional, and she understood the subtext of Mrs. Zhao’s words perfectly.

“The eldest daughter of the Xiao family is both talented and beautiful, a direct granddaughter of the great Xiao clan. She is a perfect match for your esteemed family, Mrs. Zhao. Why have you given up on her?”

This was, after all, going to affect her commission.

“It is my husband’s decision.” In truth, Mrs. Zhao still felt that bringing Xiao Chunlan home as a wife for their third son would have been quite fine. She had met the girl herself; she was quiet, refined, and quite attractive. “My husband said—”

There was such intense baleful energy present. According to what Yang Ke had said, that cocktail party had taken place at least several months ago. In these past months, she had had plenty of opportunities to kill the other party outright.

They all knew the strength of the Black Gold Hotel and the terrifying nature of the Black Gold Group. If they wanted to, they could swallow up 90% of the enterprises, companies, and groups in Dragon City overnight.

The crowd echoed in agreement. Most people had self-awareness; if Ji Bu and Zhongli Mei hadn't stayed to listen to Xiang Yu’s explanation, then they were even less qualified to do so.

Lisa always felt that this young man seemed somewhat extraordinary. The way he looked at her was so clear, completely different from how others looked at her.

Zi Liang shook his head. His thoughts were currently in turmoil, and his heart was growing increasingly anxious.

Curious, the two walked out of the main hall and into the courtyard, only to discover a golden dragon and a phoenix phantom circling in the sky above their estate.

At this moment, Su Qing also frowned. This President Xuan was becoming increasingly outrageous; she had almost been tempted by his words.

“Drink this bottle first.” Zhou Fan lifted one of the bottles of Wuliangye, then reached out to pinch Jin Xiangkai’s face, forcing his mouth open.

“Hahaha, charge! The Qin army is failing!” Wei Bao felt exhilarated. It appeared the Qin army had discerned Xiang Yu’s intentions and had deployed all their defensive forces to the east.

A massive wave surged forth, instantly blasting a bloody, mangled gap in the middle of the road. A white bear descended from the sky like a giant boulder, placing itself before Salina.

Bian Guilan had always believed that as long as one could get into a state-run unit, it was a good job, even if one started as a temporary worker and looked for an opportunity to become permanent later.

Taking advantage of the moment Delter’s long blade collided with the axe in Philip’s hand, Jiang Xin tapped her foot, and the tip of her spear transformed into a deadly weapon, thrusting straight toward Delter’s heart.

“They’ve even given so much compensation; why don’t you just settle this privately?” a middle-aged woman asked, frowning as she offered advice.

Having passed the provincial examination, the three hundred tribute scholars of this cohort would henceforth be classmates and peers; naturally, they needed to build rapport to make things easier for themselves in the future.

In the evening, after the employees finished their practice, Liu Xiangpu, Zhu Qiuman, and Zhang Xinying all went to the hospital.

At this time, Chunlai applied a hot towel. Because the goal was to dispel stasis and promote blood circulation, the towel was scalding hot. Zhao’er’s leg was already aching, and even with her strong endurance, she could barely bear it.

The innkeeper bowed low, obsequiously welcoming the patrol team while insisting that the inn was not harboring any fugitives.

The next day, in the lower-grade herbalism classroom, Jiang Xin saw Professor Hyacinth—the same professor who had punished Staley the day before—inside the massive, greenhouse-like classroom filled with various plants.

As for how disgusted the "Who-Is-It" organization in Xuancheng and Jiangnan City would be, that was none of his business.

The twins were displeased when Damei said they were so annoying that even dogs wouldn't want them, and they clamored to complain to their father and mother about their older sister. Damei thought to herself, once Father leaves, I will definitely give these two troublemakers a good lesson.

Meng Xi scoffed. This was clearly the honeymoon phase; once the passion faded, they would surely not be so in love.

“In this disciple’s view, the divine palace barrier beneath the green light is actually an unstable state of the Lingyun Divine Palace, half-open and half-closed.”

At the same time, they saw Daluo experts arriving from other bridges—some human, some demon, and others from the demon race.

Ling Xiyan nodded as she walked in. This was her first time visiting such a shop; after all, the prices were extremely high.

Among the things they had investigated, traces of the factory manager were almost invisible.

Dong Gui’s expression grew frantic. Facing the increasingly violent sword light, he could no longer keep up, and the wounds on his body multiplied.

Yu Sanghuan looked at Di Haotian. Did her son’s gaze toward Tang Bao need any verbal explanation?

After this period of intensive training, Shen Wan clearly felt her physique had improved. In the past, she would be gasping for air after jogging for half an hour, completely exhausted, but now she could easily persist for an hour. Though still tired, she was no longer in such a disheveled state.

He was not in the country, and she knew nothing of his affairs. Upon hearing he would be delayed by two days, she immediately began to imagine the worst.

Shen Ru tried to provoke her with her words, but Shen Wan’s smile remained unchanged. In comparison, the former lost her proper breeding and only added a touch of pettiness.

“Your mouth is sweet, but since what you say is true, I will perform this magic trick for you to see!” Mei Xuelian said with a cryptic smile.

A terrifying impact erupted. Ye Fantian’s fist contained a vast surge of energy, and through the observation of the Eye of the Epoch, he quickly penetrated the opponent’s techniques.

The muscles in his body trembled wildly. With scarlet eyes, he stared coldly at his opponent. With his long hair fluttering, he looked like a terrifying Great Demon God. The veins on his hands bulged, and the energy of the Taiji diagram within his body had completely fused due to the excessive speed of its rotation.

“I don’t know what has gotten into Aunt lately; she never gives me a pleasant look and even scolds me in public. It’s infuriating.” Wang Qiaozhen detested weaving and once again feigned illness, lying on the couch in a fit of sullen anger.
