Volume One, Chapter 35: The Revealing Potion

Dong Qianqian tentatively feigned an expression of deep regret, the very sight Ninth Aunt had been longing to see. With a sorrowful face, she poured out her grievances, adding, "You are absolutely right, but Dong Shuanghuan has already met with Xu Tianlei."

The most restless were Ye Qingjue at the City Lord’s Mansion and Hu Qimei at the Deyi Tower. Ye Qingjue was overjoyed; he had thought he would never see that lovely person again. Her return seemed to breathe new hope into his life.

On the seventh day of the conflict, Luo Wusheng learned within the璃 City Lord’s Mansion that the three cities had turned against one another. She could not describe her state of mind; the pain of losing her child ultimately could not outweigh the depth of her feelings for Ye Qingjue.

Mr. Su, with his hands clasped behind his back, walked alongside Xuanyuan Yeyan on the path back to Tianhai Academy. Upon hearing Xuanyuan Yeyan’s words, he offered only a lukewarm inquiry, as if he were completely oblivious to their implication.

Ouyang Xueqi’s heart, however, began to pound wildly. As she looked at Fan Yanyan’s earnest expression, her mind spiraled into a flurry of thoughts. What did he intend? What was he trying to tell her? Why was he being so formal?

Currently, her engagement to Yan Haohua remained unbroken, yet her relationship with Yan Haochan appeared favorable, prompting the Emperor of Mo to adopt a posture of friendly overtures.

Regardless of his sheer disbelief, he had to steady his mind, desperately attempting to persuade Xuanyuan Yeyan to abandon this reckless plan.

Restriction two: The player must be a high school student and must have at least two years of high school experience in their home country; those who do not meet these criteria will not be eligible for selection.

Now, his greatest worry was not whether Xuanyuan Yeyan could help him find the person he was searching for, but whether Xuanyuan Yeyan could protect herself. Listening to her seemingly gentle murmurs, his heart tightened with secret dread.

The color drained instantly from Cheng Qihai’s face. Did this mean Mr. Su had stripped him of his position as the Lord of Tianhai City?

Ouyang Xueqi invited Fan Yanyan to sit, serving him tea and water with great enthusiasm.

Consumed by frustration, he immediately called a familiar real estate agent while still on his way home, demanding that they secure him an apartment in the same building as Tang Min by tomorrow evening.

He left the lounge without even glancing at Chen Zhudi. Just as the doctor had said, he should not have seen her; the fleeting glimpse of her face still held the haunting image of her covered in blood.

"What’s wrong?" Chen Ziwu had not contemplated as much as Su Xiyan; he merely thought that if she could dine at his home, he would be very happy, which was why he had urged her to stay.

Dai Fengling pressed his body against hers. She could feel his burning heat against her, with only a single bath towel separating them.

"Right, remember to bring back that wretched jade pendant of Qiao’s as well. Have a craftsman polish it later, set a price, and sell it in the shop."

Yang Lei tugged at the men’s jacket she was wearing, feeling somewhat awkward, and gave a light cough to mask her embarrassment.

The Second Young Master Lu shuddered, scrambled into the driver’s seat, slammed his foot on the accelerator, and sped toward the courtyard house.

Jiu Baobao watched, clearly wanting to eat as well. Brother Gua was so mean for not ordering her a portion too. Hmph.

She had never known what true maternal love felt like, but now, with Dai Yulian, she finally felt it, and a warmth blossomed in her heart.

Qi Mu had already guessed that the Yan family was the mastermind behind this. In the past, Yan Huan had been too occupied with his own affairs to target him and Atan, but the Xiangxie Garden’s victory in the Gourmet Championship, combined with its evident popularity, had driven Yan Huan to use the greedy Chen family as a tool to strike at them.
