Chapter 23

"Quan Mo will surely go to a dangerous place to find me." Amidst her panic, An Ge clung to a final shred of reason.

Kang Fanni sat in the car. Hearing Xiang Wei’s words, she couldn't help but laugh; it was a rare moment of humor from him.

Quan Mo remained silent throughout, his expression dark. An aura of indifference and unapproachability radiated from him, leaving no one daring to strike up a conversation.

Although the color of the bedsheets wasn't particularly appealing, they were incredibly comfortable to lie under, with a soft, fluffy texture that felt like being covered in cotton.

"Kang Fanni, have you seen the snow?" Ouyang Yi’s first sentence was surprisingly about that as well.

The incident happened too suddenly for anyone to be prepared. Fortunately, both Bai Chi and Cui Shanshan were wearing their seatbelts, sparing them from hitting the windshield. They patted their chests, still shaken.

An Xia sat up from the ground and watched his back; his gait was slightly unsteady, each step failing to maintain a rhythmic pace.

The driver parked the car by the side of the mountain road, thoughtfully engaged the remote to lower the window shades, turned on the hazard lights, and stepped out of the vehicle.

She spoke softly and then slowly opened the door, only to find the quilt on the bed neatly spread out—there was no one there.

"Listen, here is what I think," Helian Ke lowered his voice. "After we were sucked into the different dimension, the people outside must have discovered our bizarre disappearance from the classroom. If I’m not mistaken, they are currently searching for us nearby."

"I will detoxify her first. In the coming days, you must be careful with her diet. If possible, collect some rainwater and try to avoid using your usual water," Leng Qianqian instructed the Fourth Madam.

The Divine Gold of the Mu Yunyan family had actually reached the level of assuming human form, which meant it possessed at least the cultivation of a King. With its original form as divine metal, it might truly be able to barely contend with an Emperor.

He stared at Leng Qianqian, his gaze direct and unadorned, his eyes revealing an unmistakable sense of awe; he was truly incredulous.

"It was him. This person blocked Yiwen and the others on the street. If I don't teach him a lesson, he’ll think my fists are made of tofu." Zhang Xinsheng’s anger had yet to subside, a violent glint in his eyes revealing the aggressive nature he usually kept suppressed deep down.

Every battle was like a sharp blade piercing the enemy’s heart. In the midst of blood and fire, the strength of the entire army surged, and many generals and kings experienced breakthroughs.

No one else noticed that Gu Liuqi was casting sorcery, but Yin Ci did. At the same time, he realized that Gu Liuqi still couldn't control the powerful wind; the wind she generated was weakening, while the opponent’s wind was growing stronger.

"Xilin, if you have any trump cards left, bring them out now. I am going to defeat you completely."

"Is there something you need?" Leng Qianqian looked at Xiao Zili with a hostile expression. She wanted Chu Jiuchen to know that she had absolutely no desire to stay in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

These elders were not wrong; their only mistake was stubbornly guarding the Sacred Palace and acting as accomplices to evil.

Ye Chen had gradually been hearing about the rise of the dark forces in Chunjiang City. To his surprise, Ran Jie’s progress had been swift, delivering a thunderous blow to the city's underworld. Upon arriving at Qianyuan Flower City, Ye Chen walked straight inside.

"Truly a Jewish merchant; he cuts straight to the point." This was Li Qingshan’s assessment of Bergson.

President Ge beamed with gratitude. For the Tiantong Chamber of Commerce, an order of this magnitude was considered substantial. Back then, Huangfu Wuxia had been overjoyed just to secure the auction of the Lovesick Goblet, yet that was only worth a little over two hundred thousand spirit stones.

Boss Wang looked at Su Yang with disdain. Even after Gu Xueqing had been arguing with him for so long, Su Yang had shown no reaction. In Boss Wang’s eyes, this guy was a spineless coward and nothing to be afraid of.

People are always complex, aren't they? I am no exception, actually. This bald man makes me increasingly unable to fathom what he is truly after.

He could roughly guess the fluctuations in the other person’s mood at that moment, but he couldn't offer comfort; after all, some things can only be understood through personal experience.

Seeing this, Zhang Weixian and Chen Yan exchanged glances. They thought to themselves, it seems they really have run away.

However, it was impossible for there to have been a tape recorder or anything of the sort playing nearby at that time. After all, this was a test, not a sightseeing trip, so the Snow White could not possibly have had such items.

"Dad, where is Su Yang? How is Elder Ning?" As soon as Gu Xueqing saw Gu Tiande and the others, she asked anxiously.

They sat and watched as the puppets ran rampant, turning the Shanyu space into a mess, as if it were a disaster movie on Earth.

With the development of history, the cultivation of opium was gradually banned by the state and faded from the historical stage. The former regime's army entered Myanmar to farm, and the "Yun goods" of that time referred to the narcotics smuggled from Myanmar into Yunnan Province.

"Stop asking so many useless questions. You'll know when you see me. Eight o'clock, the Starbucks near my place." Zhu Xiaoya hung up the phone immediately after saying this.

"What is the secret behind Hong Guang!? Why are they targeting you!? What exactly did you discover!?" Zhao Gan finally could not hold it in any longer. This was happening to his own family, and he couldn't remain as calm and detached as usual.

"What?!" A sense of foreboding surged up. Could it be that her outing last night had been discovered by the palace? But the reality was far more complicated than that.

Ling Yu hurriedly raised his palms to resist, but he was a step too late. A mouthful of blood sprayed out as Ling Yu was struck by the sudden palm, staggering back more than a dozen steps. Amidst the screams of onlookers, he slowly came to a stop, his feet carving two deep trenches into the ground.

Although most of his face was hidden by the brim of his hat and sunglasses, Zhao Gan noticed that the man's face had turned red in an instant. Looking closely, it was actually somewhat alluring.

"If you can't eat the grapes, you call them sour." An Pinggu, the third young master of the An family, was exactly that type of person. That was why he had declared that if anyone could attain ninety percent of Su Mengdie’s beauty, he would simply snatch them away.

However, Song Duanwu only acknowledged Young Master Ye’s good intentions in his heart. Fortunately, Ye Zhijian did not force the issue. Since the main person involved had no intention of going, once Ye Zhijian dropped Song Duanwu back at the Friendship Hotel, he returned to his own lodging at the Peninsula Hotel.

The burly man in black was stunned for a moment. He stared blankly at the Sixth Leader and Xue Ling for a few seconds, and after a moment of mental confusion, he immediately replied, "Yes!" and quickly retreated out of the living room.

To call it stifling was clearly due to the scene Song Duanwu and Cheng Lulu had just caused; it was the atmosphere that was stifling.

While the meaning remained the same, the tone and severity of their speech were worlds apart. However, the fact that Zhong Li could refuse to acknowledge the old man’s status proved that she didn't need to answer to him at all.
