Volume 1, Chapter 47: Breaking into the Ambush

Lin Hanxi's heart finally settled in her chest, yet a fresh wave of annoyance and anxiety immediately surged up.

"No! Arthur, you are wonderful, but right now... I truly cannot accept this yet, I can't..." Lately, Mu Zhihan's mind had been entirely consumed by her entanglements with Pei Junhao; she never imagined that Arthur would develop feelings for her. To her, he was simply someone she wanted to repay for his kindness.

"By the way, do you know Crown Prince Dongmu Xiao of Dongli?" He handed over a lychee with one hand while asking the question lingering in his mind.

The two security guards froze in astonishment, looking as if they had encountered some bizarre monster. Given their status as elite guards of this establishment, even high-ranking white-collar professionals would respectfully address them as "Brother Guard" and offer an alluring smile before stepping inside. Never had they expected this fellow before them to outright ignore them—it was utterly audacious to the extreme.

The surrounding students were entirely unfazed. Even if they smashed the Porsche and crippled Zhao Huajian, what could the police department possibly do to them? With so many people involved, they refused to believe everyone would be thrown into jail; the law simply could not punish a crowd.

"Bad guy! He said he was going to help me wash up." The bathroom was now filled with billowing steam, its hazy light casting an ambiguous glow through the mist, beneath which gleamed two pairs of passionate, dazed eyes.

That could only mean something had happened in Binfen City. Dudu had said that as soon as Mommy returned, she went to the Mu family residence and then to the hospital to see her grandfather. Aside from the hospital, where else could anything have happened?

Hearing this, Yang Lefan's sinking heart floated back up. Since Yue Yue's father liked him, things between him and Yue Yue would be much easier to handle. Moreover, Yue Yue's mother had remained silent all along, which suggested that Yue Yue's father made the decisions at home. With this thought, Yang Lefan felt greatly relieved.

In his eyes, the young man before him was worlds apart from himself; this fellow was simply bringing humiliation upon himself.

Upon arriving at Chu Zhaoyang's place, Sister Yu had already prepared breakfast, waiting for Gu Nian so that Chu Zhaoyang and Gu Nian could eat together.

A moment ago, the opponent had ambushed them with a torrential rain of flying swords, and Zhao Xinzhu, walking at the very front, had inevitably been injured.

Ning Yi rubbed her throbbing temples with her hand, struggling to recall what had happened prior, only to discover that her memories stopped entirely after the giant golden python pursued her into the water.

"There will be more in the future..." Yinchen half-closed his eyes and greeted the man following behind the person in the baseball jacket.

That cracking fissure expanded slowly in the eyes of all the profound crystal beasts, following the continuous sounds of breaking, revealing an even vaster space to every profound crystal beast through the crisp cracking noises.

However, no one could figure out what the energy conversion efficiency actually was. Besides, there was not much time left; if they did not hurry, it would be too late.

I hurriedly stopped him, saying his blood wouldn't work. If he smeared it on the coffin, he might end up being possessed by whatever was inside.

The moment my vision blurred, I could no longer see Lin Miao, or rather, I could no longer see anything at all.

Naturally, he also had to consider the stakes of the wager. Unless he had absolute certainty, he would never take such a risk.

Therefore, most people knew that the Ling father and son were like fire and water, acting as bitter enemies... What Ling Qinyuan said was not entirely outside the realm of possibility.

"Fengchen!" Tang Zixuan cried out in alarm, but in an instant, Remy grabbed her wrists, forced her to turn around, and pushed her forward as they walked out.

Spring comes late and winter comes early in the northern lands. In previous years, the real cold only set in around November in Xuzhou, but by late October in Jizhou, a bitter chill was already piercing the air, accompanied by fierce northern gales.

Yashu simply could not believe all of this; she never imagined that the Emperor still refused to trust her, and had actually killed his own child with his own hands.

Fengqing, remembering that Consort Tian had once helped her and acted to protect her from being separated from the Fifth Prince, had made this choice. It might not have been right, but it was an understandable mistake.

Her flesh and skin slowly split open, dripping with blood and becoming completely unrecognizable. Even those closest to her might not necessarily be able to recognize her anymore.

Ling Muchen said nothing more, his entire body enveloped in an aura of sorrow and despair as he turned to leave.

"I haven't agreed to you yet," Tang Zixuan said, pulling her hand away from Li Fengchen's grasp.

If they knew Pei An'an's family background, they would certainly feel she and Ling Muchen were a much better match, and likely wouldn't harbor any further thoughts toward Ling Muchen.

Yu Jinglan was simply too formidable; he could find no way to restrict him. Yet no matter how strong a person was, they had weaknesses. Yun Xiyue was Yu Jinglan's weakness, for she was currently agonizingly frail.

On her way into the house just now, she hadn't seen a single maid, and even the main entrance was left unguarded.

Sure enough, Ye Hong gritted his teeth and shot a cold glare at Liu Fu. Liu Fu cried out in dismay; upon catching sight of Lin Qian just now, he had made a split-second judgment without taking the time to think.

"Fine, isn't it just a magnetic card? I'll give it to you," Lin Yufei coolly removed the purple magnetic card from his arm and tossed it away.

Yet the only thing known for certain was that after the battle of Shuocheng, the surviving young general had guarded the borderlands and never returned. Why had he suddenly appeared here now?

He was wearing a gray short-sleeved T-shirt and black shorts, exposing a vast expanse of his solid, well-proportioned muscles directly to Lu Weizhen's view. Beneath the thin fabric, every contour of his powerful physique lay dormant yet clearly outlined. He raised his head to look at her.
