Chapter 38 The couple I have been rooting for all along will surely have a happy ending!
Song Miaoke sat beside Madam Ji, her expression taut with extreme nervousness. She was truly terrified of her. Madam Ji watched her, feeling increasingly uneasy the longer she looked.
"Why do you always wear such an expression whenever you see me? Am I really that frightening?" Madam Ji sighed. "I’m not going to eat you. A young woman should carry herself with poise. If you marry Ji Han in the future, you will inevitably have to attend important events. If you show up looking like this, it will—"
Chen Xiao, however, showed not a hint of impatience or criticism. He explained everything with focused dedication, guiding Zhang Ruofeng forward. His wit was sharp, and the role of the patient's family member he had improvised on the spot was portrayed with impeccable accuracy—a perfect score!
After bandaging Qin Zhen, who had fainted from his injuries, Lan Xin picked up the blood-stained, cold ears and tail, holding them as she wept bitterly.
In reality, however, Wu Zhenyu was quite easygoing in his daily life. Aside from the occasional uncontrollable sharpness in his gaze, he was mostly very relaxed.
Leonhard instinctively followed his line of sight and locked eyes with a worried, pretty face; the dark eyes that were usually brimming with joy were now filled with anxiety.
"Big sister, why am I in the hospital? Did I catch some kind of illness?" Mu Han asked, suppressing his craving for the first time, his voice laced with concern.
Pressed so closely by her, Lu Lu’s mind went blank. Cold sweat streamed down her forehead, and she dared not even meet her gaze.
If not for the host constantly spouting nonsense, this commentary would have felt as warm and intimate as a tea party.
"Unless our people go with them," Yao Xin thought for a moment before adding, "Chen Dong, Dongyang, you must ensure they climb onto the roof of the vehicle safely." She said this to the two transport police officers behind her.
After preparing everything, Lu Fuxiao drew her dagger from her waist and wrapped it around her ankle.
Xia Li raised her brows high. Her narrowed eyes held a cold, oppressive aura. Before speaking, she gripped An Ning’s hand and gave it a heavy shove forward.
Lazy by nature and unwilling to think anymore, she let Gong Lingxiao go discuss matters with Nangong Jinxi while she went to check on Lian Yi.
As the flames vanished, a humming sound emanated from the Purple Night Cauldron of Mount Sumeru, carrying a note of triumph.
It was fruit wine brewed in the Celestial Palace, once the favorite of Princess Mintian. Having left the palace, she had long abandoned her past luxuries; seeing the wine she once loved, she was suddenly overcome with a complex mix of emotions.
Madam Wu had dressed with great care today. She wore a creamy white, carved-pattern banner dress, her hair styled in a gold-inlaid bun adorned with a jasmine-shaped pin made of gold, jade, and coral. Her headpiece was encrusted with pearls and gold, looking truly magnificent.
And she succeeded; the Blood Knight’s body, wound tightly in her grasp, groaned with the sound of grinding metal, like a victim constricted by a python, before being crushed into a pile of red stone shards.
A-Yan tiptoed toward Jun Yan. Upon closer inspection, he was startled to see that Jun Yan’s expression was wooden; the color had drained from the center of her brow, replaced by a transparent dot that was slowly spreading across her face.
Jon had no idea what Saviliya thought of him, and even if he did, he likely wouldn't care at all.
Today, she also saw Yinxiang and Yinli, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Having returned from the Fengtai barracks, both looked much sturdier, appearing heroic and filled with newfound masculinity.
"Then we shall follow the Prefect’s wishes." Hearing Zhao Kang’s words, the heads of the various prominent families exchanged glances and spoke in unison.
His complexion turned ash-gray in an instant. I could hardly believe my ears; it turned out that even the cold and arrogant CEO was just as capable of being terrified as any ordinary person.
Relying on these low-resolution images, not only was Lin Chong bewildered, but the others at the Land of Light were also confused. To deal with Earth, Emperor Alien had deployed so many Imperializers—a number only slightly less than the original invasion of the Land of Light. Never before in the universe had such a massive force of Imperializers appeared.
