Volume One, Chapter 160: The Fu Family Comes to Propose Marriage

“After all, these are things she ought to do as their daughter!”

After Father Su finished speaking, he urged Su Tingxue, “Xiaoxue, go apologize to your sister and ask her to come home.”

Rong Yue had yet to recover from the shock. Kneeling on the ground, she trembled all over, scarcely daring to breathe. Blood flowed from the wound on her forehead, already covering half her face and making her look terrifying.

Asano Ariko bowed, then looked past Qiao Qiao at Linglu, who was wearing a brown dress and a red scarf.

His offhand remark stirred ripples in Su Nian’s heart. She had clearly seen how excessively protective Grandma Huang was of Li Xun, and she had also seen the care and affection Li Xun showed Grandma Huang—the kind of dependence one had on an elder of one’s own family.

After hearing the exchange between Lu Dashi and He Yitong, Constable Li flew into a furious rage. He suddenly seized Li Ercheng by the collar and, astonishingly, lifted him off the ground with one hand as he shouted harshly.

Ning Yi’s mouth fell open in utter disbelief. He hurriedly recorded Liu Wuxie’s assessment results.

Lin Weidong clearly did not believe what Liu Qiangdong had said. It was not that he distrusted Liu Qiangdong; rather, he could not believe that in a society like this, counterfeit goods could possibly not exist.

“There are no feasts beneath heaven that do not end. I, too, should return to my own dwelling and must not continue troubling you, fellow cultivator.”

After Cloud True Lord departed, Blazing Fire Daoist smiled and bade farewell to Lin Qingyu.

The road was long, and after walking for ages without seeing a single taxi, the night wind brushed against my cheeks, bringing wave after wave of refreshing coolness.

There were naturally many things to attend to at today’s wedding banquet. The bridal sedan had been temporarily placed here, and with no one looking after it, it was simply left where it stood.

Qiao Ming looked at the message on his phone and curved his lips faintly. His senior, Feng Mosheng, had written: “The laboratory has sutures.”

“I didn’t answer the question directly, but I could tell that Grandpa was deeply disappointed—”

Tong Jing felt miserable as well. Looking at her grandfather’s already lifeless eyes grow even dimmer, as though he had lost all faith in living, she suddenly felt that she had been somewhat cruel.

There were indeed quite a few jade objects, but after looking through several shops, I could only shake my head. Not one of them compared with Sister Xu’s piece. Once you have seen the finest, you no longer want anything second-rate. People are all like that, myself included.

“Who?” Ding Haitao shouted, while using all his strength to block yet another charge from the monster. His legs had gone weak and both arms were numb; he did not know whether he could withstand the next attack.

“Ninth ability deployment. The host’s burden has reached its absolute limit. This will be the final deployment…”

Dreamdragon’s icy voice rang out, and Liu Ye felt his heart tighten.

“Dad, this isn’t true, is it—”

Tong Jing shook her head in disbelief. Her heart seemed ready to leap from her chest, and she felt as though the sky itself were about to collapse.

“The compensation for the families of the craftsmen who were killed or injured will be distributed in full by the county office several days from now. This official bears unavoidable responsibility for the accident as well, and therefore I shall forfeit half a year’s salary and hand it over to all of you. What say you?”

After dealing with Liu Wei, Shang Yu instead took the blame upon himself.

In the basement of Eastern University, Cao Sen drew his blade and frightened off the Nether King. He had intended to pay his respects to the Guardian of the Golden Realm and then leave, but unexpectedly, the guardian spoke again. It had merely pretended to be dead in order to lure out the Nether King, who had been eavesdropping nearby. Once the Nether King had departed, the guardian’s unique voice filled the elf with uncontrollable delight.

“Don’t you think you’ve strayed rather far from the subject?” Bashen looked up as he spoke, a trace of displeasure faintly visible on his face.

“No. Go back and tell that Japanese company that everything will be decided in court.”

Bai Yang gathered his thoughts and spoke calmly.

“How strange! Why isn’t there even a torch?”

The cave was utterly pitch-black, and I found it extremely disorienting.
