Volume 1, Chapter 30: Song Shuning, the Gossip Monger

Yun Wei freshened up and wanted to text Jiang Qie to ask about her plans for the day, but she never received a reply.

The man still did not release his war soul; with just a single punch, he sent Ge Hong, who had been giving it his all, flying off the plaza.

Hearing Yue Tianlei’s cry of shock, Tu Yuanlong and the other two by his side also wore expressions of disbelief.

Qianjin tried to persuade her further, but Lulu rudely interrupted her—an attitude she had never displayed before.

"I know my brother was in the wrong, but as his older brother, I must avenge him," Yu Junsheng spoke first.

Yun Wei pulled her gaze back to Jiang Qie. Before she could speak, the phone in her hand vibrated again.

Hearing Zhang Chong’s words, Sengge Rinchen seemed to have grabbed onto a lifeline; he crawled forward on his knees toward Zhang Chong.

"In the previous instance, Jinjin nearly lost her life because of you. Not only do you feel no guilt, but your hostility toward her has only grown stronger."

"Your Majesty, what is the matter that requires such urgency?" Hong Xiuquan strode into the council chamber, but seeing everyone sitting upright and looking at him in unison, he realized he had been lacking in decorum.

Generally speaking, according to the rules, the Count mentioned should be the supernatural entity of the instance, but Lu Xichen had a feeling that this "general" rule might not apply this time.

Orange soda, summer, the sound of cicadas, and that desk-mate of theirs—even though they were still, in a broad sense, in the midst of their youth, these people had actually already experienced dozens of summers. In their past memories, these were all things they held dear.

Chen Moming seemed very agitated. Looking at his grandfather, Chen Shitong did not understand why he was so worked up and remained stunned for a long while. Only then did Chen Moming realize his lack of composure, and he calmed down to speak.

"Go ahead. Come on, it’s just scouting the path, not going to war. I’ll let you go this time; I won’t go," Jingang, fully asserting his status as the host, waved his hand to soothe Doudou.

If Xu Bo were not a mole, given his personality, he would have pampered Li Qin like a treasure for a while; regardless of whether she wanted it or not, he would always find a way.

Yun Zi felt inexplicably fortunate that she had chosen a room with a round table, thinking it more aesthetically pleasing at the time. Had she bumped into a sharp corner, it would likely have been much worse than it was now.

"Very well, but I hope Father treats him kindly. After all, once my younger sister marries him, he will be a member of my Park household!" the Jingjun man said upon hearing this.

Where had his older sister gone? Yun Zhui knitted his brows tightly. He now hated himself for his cowardice; he had been back for several days but had not dared to enter the Yun estate to reunite with her, choosing instead to sneakily climb through her window in the dead of night just to steal a glance. Now that she was gone, he had no idea where she was.

Jin Tianze’s expression was full of panic. He scrambled to leave, only to have his path blocked by Qiu Wannian and the other two.

Long Jianfei nodded and, guided by an attendant, entered the enclosed room. At the same time, a liquid crystal screen rose silently on the goatee-wearing man’s desk, displaying a boxing ring.

Cheng Nuo stuck her tongue out at Cheng Yan, ignoring his repeated pleas for help, mouthed "you’re on your own," and turned toward her room.

Lin Yan was even more displeased after hearing this. Why should he have to agree just because she sent a message? She had ignored him all morning and even called Xu Chen "brother," looking as pleased with herself as could be.

"Perhaps they are using it, but the technical standards are different, so we cannot receive it. Perhaps that generation didn't consider this technology; the way prehistoric humans thought certainly wouldn't be exactly the same as ours," Professor Shen Wei said.

Jiao Fengming’s expression shifted slightly; looking embarrassed and annoyed, she moved away from Guo Hong and gave him a light punch.

In the afternoon, seeing that the girls had all woken up, Zhongli Youyou took a gong and began banging on it in the courtyard.

"If you coax me until I’m happy, I’ll give it all to you." Baili Guo played a prank, though she wasn't truly angry, and told him to turn off his phone and go to sleep.

"So what if he misunderstood? He doesn't even like me," Jin Tang said, failing to notice the tone of her voice or the flash of disappointment in her eyes.

The surrounding area was engulfed in flames, casting a bright, flickering light. The roars of fierce beasts, screams, the howling wind, and the roaring fire filled the air. On the field, the fierce spirits glared with murderous intent, breathing heavily as they stared at the Azure Dragon Protector and the others.

Li Zhichen recognized the man; it was Dongli Tianji, the master of Penglai Island in the Eastern Donglin Prefecture, and the two behind him were his disciples. Li Zhichen had not expected that when he took Xue Qingyun to Penglai Island to find Dongli Tianji, he would learn the man hadn't returned, yet here they were, meeting by chance.

The big black bear’s livestream had been flooded with comments ever since Lu Yu’an appeared. Indeed, the big black bear had been livestreaming the whole time.

Gu Shi-xiao and Gu Shi-jing had both gone to the front to take a look; they were very supportive of this construction, as it wouldn't disturb their mother’s quiet life.

"That’s not right. You’re lying." Han Ji looked at Luo Gu, his smile unchanged, yet there was a heart-stopping quality to it.

Song Yunhan was wearing a light blue Tang suit today, with a white shirt with knotted buttons underneath—loose and clean.

"If Her Ladyship did not come to save this servant this time, this servant would not dare to hold a grudge. Someone as wise as Her Ladyship must be waiting for the right moment to rescue me. Therefore, Her Ladyship is not failing to save me, but simply has not saved me yet!"

It was not that he didn't trust Swain, but Modrian felt that with the threat of the Abyssal invasion in the background, launching an expedition was somewhat risky.

Was it because his heart was uneasy? But if one were to be uneasy about the timing of this "completion" for a boat already built, would that not also be superfluous?

"Big Brother, I actually have something to ask you!" Sheng Fu took a sip of the soup brought by Lü Qiao and looked at Sheng Yuan with a smile.

Old Man Huang flashed his buckteeth in a faint smile and said nothing, though the white light surrounding his body grew increasingly dim.

"It’s fine, to be able to eat is a blessing. It’s just a pity for our Er’gou; I don’t know if you’ll be able to afford to raise her in the future," Qian Feng said, winking at Xu Er’gou.

They merely exchanged a glance with the somewhat frail-looking Qiezi, and both shook their heads in unison.

The young man who had just been wearing coarse linen clothes with his pant legs rolled up was now dressed in a clean, pristine cyan robe.

In matters other than love and romance, Tang Wanqing was naturally cold and indifferent; she preferred action over words.
