Chapter 66: Slap Her Back Until She Beggs for Mercy

Shen Lang felt as cold as ice, knowing full well that he was the primary culprit responsible for the loss of Shen Yuan, yet his father's attitude caused him even greater anguish.

To refuse to acknowledge his own flesh and blood, and instead raise another man's daughter?

After a long silence, Shen Yi also spoke: "Father's demotion has already become the laughingstock of the entire capital. The Shen residence must not become the subject of further public criticism."

In other words, Shen Yuan's true identity could not be exposed, while Wan Ning remained a member of the Shen family!

Shen Lang frowned, unable to find the words. When he finally voiced it, a sudden sense of relief washed over him. He had originally thought that after experiencing so many trials, he would be completely immune to matters of the heart. Yet, falling for someone was truly uncontrollable, utterly devoid of logic. Certain individuals possessed a mysterious pull over you, regardless of their numerous flaws, regardless of how far from perfect they might be.

Shortly after, Yiyi asked her manager to contact the landlord of the property. The landlord arrived shortly, and upon seeing the three of them, he immediately recognized them as wealthy patrons. Most importantly, he instantly identified Yiyi as a major celebrity and promptly quoted an exorbitant price.

The moment I looked out the car window, I noticed seven or eight cigarette butts discarded outside. Given that Jiang Ciyun had quit smoking long ago, it appeared his nicotine craving was now even fiercer than before.

"The appointment is already set. This is a once-a-year opportunity, we certainly can't waste it. Let's go—" Magneto walked straight toward the direction of the stairs.

"You all just want to vent your anger. Don't touch my wife; I'll take whatever beatings or abuse you dish out," Jiang Ciyun said calmly.

"Is it simple? Many people here probably haven't noticed, but this first round of the trial strictly forbids the use of fire."

"Fall back?" Ou Li was momentarily stunned, completely failing to understand why Ji Han was telling him to retreat.

Primordial anomalous sword intent! That was a level of comprehension attainable only by supreme grandmasters of the sword dao in the distant archaic and primordial eras.

"It's certainly not a patriarchal society nowadays, but between you and me..." Jiang Ciyun's voice trailed off. My wrist was suddenly seized in a tight grip. He lunged toward me like a tiger, straddling directly across my thighs, instantly cutting off the circulation and causing a severe numbness to spread through both of my feet.

Since the Buddha Tathagata was right there, he simply condensed them into a single sword, using the Buddha's divine power to neutralize those killing intents.

Upon seeing this spectacle, the common folk realized they had crossed paths with a person of great importance and immediately dropped to their knees on the spot.

Your Highness Prince Jing, radiant as you are, are you about to expose my familiarity with medicinal herbs right now?

"Don't worry, all of his divine abilities are completely ineffective against you. Furthermore, you can strip him of his ability to use divine abilities at any time," the system suddenly chimed in.

Connecting this with various other details, he could now be one hundred percent certain that Liu Qing was that alien creature, K rumoured to be Gumo.

Nian Chuxia wore a light pink top paired with tight-fitting hot pants. A gentle sea breeze blew in, stirring her long hair.

If they intended to continue their journey as traveling merchants, the tarpaulin would undoubtedly have remained covering the cargo. However, the moment Zhu Da entered the courtyard, he flung the tarp open to display the goods inside to others. Anyone with the quick wit of a merchant would naturally understand his intention and immediately inquire about them.

Yu Weiyan felt that Baili Wuchen was being far too impatient. Even if he was in a rush to marry her, there was no need for it to be tomorrow, was he?

Prior to this, the two benevolent corpses had already manifested their golden physical forms, which would normally indicate they had unleashed their full strength. Could they possibly have other tricks up their sleeves at this juncture?

However, this was the kind of matter where the more one tried to explain, the darker it became. Fang Zheng simply decided to stop explaining altogether—think whatever you wish.

In truth, Han Xiao was also suffering immensely. At that critical moment of danger, Master Fayu's sarira hidden within his body had surged forth, stimulating his inner dragon Qi and empowering him to strike with his blood-axe, injuring two careless magical beasts. Yet he himself was already at the end of his tether, maintaining only the formidable, oppressive aura of a true dragon.

Every movement of Mu Xue seemed naturally enveloped in a halo of holy light. The words she spoke were inexplicably irresistible, making her seem quite like an angel descended from the heavens. Xiang Yun knew once again that he had been ensnared by beauty.
