Volume One, Chapter 28: Take Everything and Leave Nothing Behind

"A honeymoon?" Shen Zhi'en blurted out, unable to believe her ears.

"What?" Li Heng sat opposite her, watching as she replied to a message, an irrepressible smile gracing her face.

It was the look of someone deeply in love. This stirred a flicker of resentment in the depths of Li Heng's heart.

The night was quiet and dark, especially since there wasn't a single star in the sky tonight, nor a full moon to light the way. A gentle evening breeze blew, rustling the green leaves on the trees.

Sighing, she walked to the vanity and pulled open the drawer, frowning in annoyance at the sight of it filled with medicine.

Although it was the dead of winter, Jianquan did not know why, but upon jumping into the icy spring water, he felt no chill; instead, he sensed a sweltering heat within the water... Could it be a hot spring?

Once the annoyance reached a peak for everyone, Yue Yi finally pulled some strings to bring the company's interviews to a temporary halt.

Zhou Yi said solemnly that the young disciples of the Flying Snow Realm were kind-hearted, and in truth, those in the upper echelons were not so bad either.

The children were drawn by the aroma of the roasted lamb and could not help but move a little closer to the bonfire.

They might all be curious as to why they had received such a letter, but given the departure of some of the sisters over the past two days, they did not stop to question the veracity of the matter. Thus, some of the girls, upon receiving the letter, became exceptionally excited at the prospect of leaving and immediately began their preparations.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one. Yun Momei was not afraid of failing to complete the task Lin Zheng had assigned her; she was afraid that Xiao Kuang would suddenly appear. If she were to cause him to lose face, she would surely end up without a whole corpse.

"Dream on, hmph!" Bing Xi gave him a shy, coquettish glare that made his heart skip a beat.

Yet tonight, in the quiet darkness, the token at his waist lit up, unlike the silence it had maintained in the past.

South of the capital, in Anzhou, over a hundred kilometers away, the Tongzi Forest villa district had always been a gathering place for the wealthiest individuals in the capital, and indeed, the entire nation.

Chen Xiao was also stunned by the question for a moment. I, your older brother, helped you gain followers, and you, my younger sister, are stabbing me in the back?

"Where is Cui Bin?" Wei Qingyao noticed that Cui Bin was gone. Her eyes flashed with anger; it was fine to do it with her sister, but as soon as she joined in, he ran away?

Imperial Concubine Shu, also known as Fu Yue, must have offended many factions back then to have so many experts sent to seek revenge.

Yu Wanzhou pursed her lips. No wonder Chen Xiao acted so maturely; she had not expected him to have such a past, and his affection for Yu Mumu did not seem feigned.

Xu Xuebin grabbed a stool and threw it at Wang Hu's head, but Wang Hu raised his hand to block it, snatched the stool back, and pinned Xu Xuebin against the wall.

The path of conquest is fraught with extreme peril, and his family was absolutely a part of his source of motivation. He dared not imagine what would become of his family if he were to die one day.

Shangguan Feiyang nodded hurriedly. He now understood what it meant to struggle for money, yet his flattery toward his boss remained remarkably smooth.

"Hmph, it is him indeed. He can touch a magic treasure at the Primordial Spirit level; it seems his cultivation has likely reached the Primordial Spirit realm. However, now that I know your whereabouts, your days are numbered!" Mei Lan said viciously.

If they failed, there was no need to speak of it, but if they succeeded, they would likely open a portal to another world right here and leave. Of course, Zhang Le might be an exception; he still had to take Wang Dayong with him.

Fortunately, the other party did not know this. So that time had truly been nothing more than a provocation, and it had not caused any real harm to Amber.

The facts also seemed to confirm the rational deduction: the entire hospital was very peaceful, and the wards were normal. Whether it was the doctors, nurses, family members, or patients, everyone was calm. At the very least, it looked no different from any other day.
