Chapter 51: Finding a Step-mother for Tang Yichen?

Wang Sheng was suddenly kicked, jumped up in a fright, and upon seeing that it was Lan Mei, his expression first lit up with joy, but then he drooped his head again.

The moment she stepped into the room, Yuanniang felt Zhuo Xiyu glaring at her with intense hatred. She blinked, wondering how she could have possibly offended her to warrant such a look, as if the girl wished to devour her alive.

"Since both of your mistresses have arrived, explain yourselves. What happened in the kitchen?" Madame Dong's voice sank, causing everyone's hearts to skip a beat.

Da Wuhui picked up the jade pendants one by one, placing them on the ground, and then retrieved the jade pendant used to cremate the young man, laying it beside the others. He decided to compare the differences among them.

"This is our chance!" He Qi suddenly shouted. Two detachments of troops, previously hidden within the formation, abruptly charged out, instantly cutting the five-hundred-strong army into pieces and breaking them apart. This was a calculated move to defeat them one by one.

"That's for the best." Seeing this, Long Yanhuana finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed her "pet" wasn't completely useless at critical moments.

Sigh, it seemed that prolonged tension was causing him mental issues; lately, he kept experiencing auditory hallucinations and the like. Lin Jieren shook his head, trying to shake off that gender-neutral voice echoing in his ears.

Even though Da Wuhui treated him like a sworn brother, he could no longer behave as he used to. His entire family's fate was tied to his back; if any disaster befell his family because of him, he would surely become an eternal sinner to his clan.

In the courtyard stood a square stone lotus pond. It was early autumn, and the delicate, pale pink lotus flowers swayed in the breeze, yet the yard was jarringly surrounded by armed estate guards brandishing wooden staves.

She had originally thought that things between them would change because of that sudden kiss, but she had been wrong.

"Just trivial nonsense, even if I told you, you wouldn't understand... Why did you come over? Is there something wrong at the base, or did you finish the game?" Xiao Baizhu stiffly changed the subject.

The reason she immediately rejected Jun Wuxie as Luo Yu's father was simply because she was terrified of him.

As his fingers and arm touched the display components, they were instantly scorched. Gritting his teeth, Xiao Baizhu activated several buttons, causing the machine to roll across the ground until the flames on its body were finally extinguished.

This scoundrel, he never knew when to stop. Time and time again, once and then once more, she had lost count of how many times it had been.

Actually, Bo Rui was simply wondering what Shengsheng's words truly meant. What did it signify when she said she had always been his mother?

I forced a laugh and was just about to say that dinner was on me when I suddenly heard a commotion echoing from the adjacent corridor.

After listening to Baiyou Liuxi, Wei Rouyi fell silent. There were so many intricate plots at play that she hadn't even noticed them; just who on earth was Tao Xiong colluding with?

This woman was utterly lethal. Her desire-manipulating arts could flare up his lust at a moment's notice. Had it not been for his unique constitution, he would have long since been drained to death from exhaustion.

Sleeping ocean, your heart is disturbed by tranquility: gatherings and partings, farewells, and the rolling clouds cannot alter the azure brilliance of the sky.

After marrying into this household, many of the decisions she made stemmed from selfish motives. As for genuine affection, there was very little to begin with, and the same mentality drove her later actions of tearing the second and third branches apart.

"Nothing was said, only that I should hurry and find out once and for all whether the jade pendant in your possession is genuine or fake," said Zhang Yuxiang.

However, for those attending a funeral, it is actually quite rare to truly feel a sense of gloom. After all, the deceased is not one's own kin; while the mood might be somewhat somber, it certainly doesn't warrant being described as gloomy—unless, of course, one shared a deeply intimate relationship with the departed.

"No useful information can be wrung out of you. No matter how ruthless someone's methods are, it's impossible to extract any secrets from your mouths," Lin Feng said with a faint smile.

"Stop messing around, Yan'er. I think we need to get in touch with old Hu!" Li Fantian pondered for a moment and said.

By the end of it, Tang Shiyun wore a look of utter astonishment, mixed largely with the expression one might reserve for an idiot looking at Lin Feng.

After transmitting images of the garrison's positions, the drone continued to fly deeper, but a few high-energy rays suddenly flashed from the inner side of the city, instantly destroying it.

"As for the chieftain, I will handle him, don't you worry, Tianwen." Hufan's intention was to avoid a direct confrontation with Shaoyan, forcing him to push Ying Tianwen to the forefront.

Feng Xi was momentarily startled. Although this person was eccentric, she sensed no malicious intent from him. Furthermore, with Changqin and the Heavenly Lord present, how could they truly abandon her to her fate?

Irina was stunned for a moment, but she understood Xiulong's intentions. After all, she and Ruth had previously helped other guilds deliver bread, so she had some understanding of how these things worked.

Did this represent something? Was it a form of mockery directed at the opponent's Golden Wheel Fighter, or did it carry some mysterious meaning or hidden logic?

Furthermore, he had the love of his life, Liu Mengqi, to accompany him. Compared to the illusory and ethereal Dao of immortality, the tangible warmth and sweetness of being with her made him feel far more reluctant to let go.

"Wang Licheng is my—" Old Wei hadn't even finished his sentence when Wang Licheng realized that if he let him continue, all his hard work would be wasted. Driven by sudden malice, he clenched his teeth and pulled the trigger on Old Wei.

The reason was simple: Li Qiang had not yet graduated from high school, and according to the current NBA regulations, he was ineligible to join the professional league. Although Li Qiang appealed to the NBA organizing committee and requested a special exemption, he was unsuccessful.

"What did you say? Are you saying there is a mole inside the police department?" Liu Shengxiang asked, extremely shocked. No wonder Li Yan had insisted on recording the entire video.

Bloody Skies stared at him blankly, his eyes filled with anger, hostility, regret, and a trace of fear.

"Then why don't you take charge of this matter yourself instead of leaving it to us?" Ruth asked.

An increase of seventy-five points was achieved within just two months: a full forty-seven points gained in the first month, and slightly fewer in the second, a meager twenty-eight points.

Emma bore a striking resemblance to the French star Sophie Marceau, yet he had watched very few of Sophie Marceau's films, or at least none involving espionage plots like this.
