41 This Is Mountain Beauty Village

An Zeyin rode his bicycle, a sixteen-year-old youth with clear, bright features, making anywhere he went a beautiful sight.

His explanation left Ji Yaohua, Ying Ze, and Wei Moli stunned, giving them each a clear understanding of Mu Qingge’s current standing in the God-Demon Continent.

Arriving at the Sun residence, Sun Zhirui looked back at Brother Qing, seeing him silent and expressionless, his quiet demeanor somewhat frightening. There are some men you simply cannot test or provoke; she could only wait quietly, waiting for an opportunity.

Her muddled thoughts cleared in an instant, and a flash of lucidity crossed Sheng Ge’s eyes as her fair hand pressed down on his wandering palm.

Disregarding the sword held against his neck, the assassin leader turned sideways and forcefully embraced An Mi’er, the two of them flying backward together.

Turtles are naturally shy creatures. Since A-Shu had not tended to them for so long, they were no longer as aggressive as they used to be, peering at her curiously with their necks half-retracted.

"Then what should we do?" Wen Nuan looked at him helplessly. At that moment, perhaps even she did not realize how much she trusted Zhou Buhuan and how subconsciously she had come to rely on him.

Li Ji remained behind, looking dazed, his fists clenched tightly as he watched Lu Ning’s carriage recede into the distance.

As night fell, Mu Qingge and Si Mo walked out of the jade pear forest to a patch of verdant grass.

"Liyin, I heard from your Imperial Sister that you have been spending much time with the zither player, Bai?" The Emperor’s voice was steady, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest of his dragon throne.

"So, Miss Ruyue, are you mine tonight?" Xiao Yuyin’s black-jade eyes were profound as he stared straight at Ruyue.

Xiao Yuyin slowly looked away from that ingot of gold, preparing to continue contemplating how to enjoy a meal without paying, when he sensed someone watching him—someone with ill intent.

Facing reality, An Ruoyi realized something was amiss once he regained his composure. Sigh, it was not yet time for the graduation exams, but though there were less than two days left, whatever needed to be studied still had to be looked at; otherwise, he would feel the time had been wasted.

To think that Su Qingge could return alive from the shark zone—was he supposed to be amazed by her tenacity?

His sister-in-law was clever and quick-witted; in six years, her skills had actually surpassed his. Such genetics were truly incomparable.

No one spoke. The scenery before them could no longer be described with words; only the expressions on their faces could indirectly reflect the wonder this night view brought to them.

"Minister Sima, speak your mind if you have something to say." Liu Xie glanced at Sima Fang indifferently and nodded.

Wangyue Pavilion leaned against the lake, and its location was excellent. Perhaps because it was mealtime, the lobby was full of guests.

"I will never allow you to marry her," Nalan Xiao, standing behind him, said coldly to Nalan Heng.

"Oh, my dear, don't be so shy. I won't eat you, hee hee!" The stout figure let out a bone-chilling laugh and lunged at Li Ye. Li Ye’s eyes widened, his hands trembling in shock. He looked at the stout figure in disbelief; the burning look in the other’s eyes—could it be that?

He was merely a lieutenant general, unworthy of her. And she could not possibly endure the gossip until the day he was worthy—even if Imagawa Kaede were willing, his family would never agree.

Tu Hai knew who was coming the moment he heard the laughter. He laughed and scolded, "If you didn't want me to chase you away, why break in? Don't blame me for driving away an unwelcome guest!" One could tell from Tu Hai’s tone that this person who entered unannounced was very close to him.

Looking around and seeing no one noticed her, Qiao Zhixuan quietly headed to the second-floor restroom.

Chun Bai also heard the noise and looked over. Seeing the "Big Bosses," she felt an inexplicable tension, and the spot on her cheek where she had been touched burned hot.

It was as if his heart had been removed, as if he had forgotten how to breathe; he just sat there, as if his soul had been lost.

The tribe placed great importance on newborns; they were the continuation of the tribe’s future. Children were the purest and cleanest beings; it was hard not to love them.

In the forest, bleached bones were visible everywhere. These bones belonged to those ignorant people who had recklessly trespassed into the mutated forest.

As for the candidates, every possibility had been exhausted, yet there was no progress; it was truly impossible to find a suitable one.

Luo Fei clearly understood what Jing Haoran was implying. Since Tang Shusen had taken the initiative to call and suggest it, there would naturally be no problem on his side.

Bu Chan stroked the white turtle’s head, sighed helplessly, pulled another basket of fruit from her storage bag, and placed it by the pond.

Although Zhou Huan had easily dodged the aging ray, he was not truly invisible, nor had he unleashed an outrageous suppression of soul power. Thus, like a white ghost, Zhou Huan could still be sensed by Xiao Hongchen, who was a Soul Saint.

"General, could we be overthinking this? Perhaps Fang Lin and his group don't care about this item at all and have simply ignored it," Cheng Pu said.

With such a powerful special operations force in hand, everyone from Captain Zhang and Political Commissar Xie on the *Yangzhou* to every sailor and marine on the warship felt a sense of pride.
