Chapter 60 Mother and Daughter Reunited

Seeing Xie Jinluo look somewhat dejected, Ye Changzheng reached out to put an arm around his shoulder and said to Lu Yanli, "Old Lu, I've thought about that advanced studies program you mentioned to me before. I want to go."

Lu Yanli nodded thoughtfully and said, "I told you not to stay cooped up in one place. We are men, and even for the sake of our wives and children, we have to strive upward. Besides, your partner is pregnant again, and you'll have to raise children in the future. You certainly can't let your kids go to school on Endless Island—"

Accompanied by two soft clicks, the hairpin shattered instantly, and a wisp of smoke rose, finally revealing the figures of Warmth and The Number One Handsome Man in the World.

The next day, snowflakes were still dancing wildly and romantically outside the window. Youyan lay on the gold-and-jade-inlaid soft couch, her whole body cold and rigid. Strands of hair, soaked in sweat, clung messily to her forehead. Her exquisite daytime makeup had not been removed and had already smeared her clean cheeks. There were dried blood scabs on her full lips.

"Youyan?" Shaohao, carrying a basket of sacrificial offerings, suddenly jumped down from the back of the Dark Bird, staring in a daze at Youyan, who was frozen like a wooden chicken. Following her line of sight, Shaohao could not help drawing a sharp breath, and the basket in his hand dropped silently into the snow.

It was an alchemy recipe she valued immensely and wanted to buy from Ning Jiang, yet Ning Jiang would rather destroy it than give it to her.

Therefore, the Chi Dragon ultimately failed to reach Song Qingyi; it stopped after breaking through the majority of the defensive spells, allowing Wei Kuangyuan and the others to finally let go of their hanging hearts.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit mournful, Lin immediately darted out like a wisp of smoke, retrieved several large bags of gifts from the falcon, placed them next to Lu Shaoxi, and gently tugged at his clothes.

"It's rare for everyone to be here. I'm in high spirits today and invited you all to join me. I hope I haven't delayed any of your important matters, have I?" Zhuanxu swept his gaze over them.

Chen Zheng did not understand the big man's language, nor did he intend to answer. He merely tightened his grip on the pendant, and the broad blade of the light sword instantly narrowed and became even more condensed.

Mengqi anxiously dialed Zhou Mingxing's phone number, completely forgetting that it was two o'clock in the middle of the night, a time when people were fast asleep.

Qi Mubai and Yuechan turned an extraordinarily high number of heads, not only because of their striking appearances, but also because... in the dead of winter with snow falling outside, Yuechan was going bare-legged, dressed as if it were already past the start of spring.

What was shocking was that every single grain of sand in this sea of sand was blood-red. Countless undulating sand dunes resembled waves of blood.

Hearing this, Zhige rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly as he thought to himself, *You actually dare say something like that?* Then he smiled bitterly and began to explain.

Respiration drives spiritual consciousness; a single breath completes a full cyclical orbit! These words spoken directly by Ye Xuan left Zhao Wuyi and Gong Long rooted to the spot in a daze, taking a full several minutes before they finally recovered their senses.

"I say, Brother Lin, you'd better take it easy! At the rate you're eating, if you upset your stomach, you'll probably end up having to drink herbal medicine for half a month again!" Seeing Lin Kong's exaggerated appearance, Zhao Wuyi, standing nearby, could not help teasing him.

Against an ordinary opponent, this flaw was of little consequence, but if they encountered a master or supreme expert wielding divine weapons and formidable treasures, it would be utterly impossible to destroy the enemy in a single blow.

How to fight the battles ahead was the crucial point. Bao Ziwei had made three successive sacrifices, and if these people were to die as well, then everyone else's sacrifices would lose all meaning.

It was one thing for Great King Village to be remote enough, but the Fang family's old house was even more secluded, built directly in an area close to the back mountain. I had a strong aversion to such houses, likely because of my parents, so whenever I saw a house built against a mountain like that, I felt a deep sense of insecurity.

Christina behaved with utmost elegance. When Angus arrived, she was clinking glasses with Si Nuo. The two of them were chatting about something with radiant smiles on their faces. Even the corners of Si Nuo's mouth carried a faint smile—a completely unguarded smile, the kind of smile Angus had not seen for a long time.
