Volume 1, Chapter 181: Making the Arrest
By the time Mother Su and Third Uncle Su returned, they saw Su Tingxue preparing to pack her things and leave. Third Uncle Su stepped forward immediately to block her path, saying with great dissatisfaction, "You've caused such a massive disaster, where do you think you're running off to?"
Hearing this, Su Tingxue stamped her foot and said, "I'm going out to lie low for a while. You guys should hurry up and marry Su Ningxia off to patch things up. That way, we can still give the Zhou family an explanation, and she and that fool from the Zhou family actually make a quite suitable match."
"You still know we need to give the Zhou family an explanation!" Mother Su arched her eyebrows. She pointed right at Su Tingxue's nose and scolded, "You caused this mess yourself, so solve it yourself. Don't expect my Xiaoxia to patch up your holes! Whoever gets wronged, Xiaoxia will never be wronged!"
Su Ting...
Extending her hand, Lin Wei walked over quite politely and greeted Mr. Chen. Upon seeing that it was Lin Wei, Mr. Chen was startled at first, then stood up, appearing somewhat flustered. Even though Lin Wei's hand was held out waiting for him to shake, he did not reach out to take it.
The transition meeting began in the noisy auditorium. Speeches, voting, going through all the formal procedures—I almost fell asleep. To my disappointment, Yang Kang did not attend the meeting. However, much to my surprise, I recognized the newly elected chairperson: it was none other than Zhou Yu, the one who had been pursuing Tang Guo.
"Good." After saying this, Wu Ming leaped down into the earthen pit, pulled out Dracula, sealed his acupoints, and threw him before Alice.
Before Uncle Wu went out, he taught Wu Ming how to use the television remote control. He hoped that by watching television, Wu Ming could gain a better understanding of life.
If Dabai were truly in a relationship, as someone close to her, she definitely would have been the very first to know.
"Rest assured, the Fifth Prince is completely fine." Those clear eyes remained as limpid as spring water.
Yet Li Zhi still forced his battered body to crawl up from the ground, striving to pull a silver scroll out of his pocket.
"Did I frighten you? Heh, I never could have imagined myself that he would have such a peculiar inclination—liking young boys. At first, I never thought things would turn out this way, but he was so good to me that my heart softened for a moment, and after that, I couldn't care about anything else." Once these half-true, half-false words were spoken, a familiar pain began to ache in his heart all over again.
Yet Su Jinyu had come to the Yonghe Palace harboring a mindset of not stopping until she achieved her goal. The first time, she acted entirely according to her own desires, completely disregarding Ye Chenxuan, who stood right beside her.
"Alright, let's head to the Transmigration Administration right now and lock onto the target first." Hearing this, Wu Ming didn't say anything more. He hurriedly pulled Qi Shaoguang into his Audi and drove toward the Transmigration Administration.
Liang Luo ignored him and walked straight up to Wushuang, thrusting his charcoal-black face so close that Wushuang was forced to avert her gaze.
Whispering amongst themselves, the people felt that this confirmed the rumors of the remnants of heterodox and evil paths making a comeback. Remembering the terrifying and alarming tales of evil cults passed down by the older generation, everyone felt an edgy sense of tension and self-preservation.
Now that the path to ascension was severed, the despair in their hearts wasn't overwhelmingly deep; relatively speaking, there was far more of a lingering sense of guilt.
Clearly, the death of the zombie Xiaoyang came as a profound shock to the other zombies. The most shaken of all was that high-tier fire-attribute ability zombie.
Ouyang Pengcheng gave Mu Youhan a deep look, causing the pretty girl to blush and her heart to flutter as she shyly lowered her exquisite head. The monk-faced men acted as if they hadn't seen or heard a thing; lifting their bowls, they wolfed down the dry-mixed noodles in their hands, then fought and scrambled to fish the remaining fish out of the pot to eat.
"The Xue family has no objections; they are planning to marry me off to a bureau director!" Mi Bai said with a bitter smile.
"Haha. It's fine, I have a few pieces in my spatial dimension. We can look them out in a moment. Our sizes are pretty similar, so they should fit. Heh, Guo Guo, you're too cute, but just don't ruin this one with alterations. If you need pajamas in the future—the nice-looking ones—just tell me, I have them," Ye Xiang said with a hearty laugh.
What was going on? Could Long Kui be riding on top of Mom? Long Xuan's expression grew even more complicated as cold sweat broke out. From the distance came a sound resembling heavy objects crushing withered branches, accompanied by the heavy, labored breathing of Tang Haowei and Huangfu Yiqiu. Could the two of them be rolling around on the ground locked in an embrace?
In Penang Hospital, within a VIP ward, Mi Bai lay upon a pure white bed, her eyes tightly closed and her brows slightly furrowed, worrying everyone around her to pieces. The crowd looked anxiously at Mi Bai on the hospital bed, seeing no signs of her waking up whatsoever.
Ren Yue looked somewhat shy and said, "Well, it's a long story, but Brother Yu treats me very well." Lin Yin nodded and said, "That's good, that's good then." He had always worried that Ren Yue would not find a good destination, and hearing now that she had married a good man, he ought to have been happy for her; yet the latter half of the child's sentence—"Daddy is fierce"—kept him ill at ease.
Hearing footsteps outside the door, he swiftly lowered the foot he had rested upon the wooden chair and assumed a solemn expression once more.
"He died. He failed to mature and was crushed to death by a giant hand reaching out from the cycle of reincarnation at the very moment he was about to break through to the Eternal Realm!" Zhan Chongxiao said with profound sorrow.
There was not a sound within the stone gate, making one suspect that there was simply no one inside the stone house. I did not push the door open to verify; in this place of notorious reputation, I had to act with utmost caution.
When Helang entered, he saw Lan Yun tidying up his belongings, so he walked up to him and patted him heavily on the back.
Lin Yin thought for a moment and felt that serving as Feng Changqing's bodyguard would be much easier and more convenient, sparing him from drilling in formation alongside the other soldiers. He answered, "Yes." In truth, Feng Changqing had not even asked for his opinion.
Daijin had considered that the Prince might not be as invested in her affairs as Jingcheng, and she had also considered that the Prince had always taken little interest in political affairs; apart from the previous matter that benefited the Noble Consort, he might be thoroughly unwilling to wade into muddy waters for no reason at all.
Lin Yin shook his head and said, "No, I will not agree to release your acupoints, nor will I secretly let you go." Xuanqing remained silent.
"Very well, thank you the Fourth Young Master on my behalf for such thoughtful arrangements." Yang锦心 (Yang Jinxin) took the envelope, her lowered eyelids and pale, flawless face both suffused with a faint indifference.
Yang Jinxin's fingers trembled slightly, unable even to fasten the frog buttons. Rongyue ultimately did not come in to try on the clothes; using the very last shred of strength in her body, Yang Jinxin pushed open the door of the fitting room.
That white-gold giant hand, several hundred miles wide, made the vanguard flagship of the Taotie Legion look precisely like a lump of plasticine toy.
Yu Nan rapidly tossed out countless spiritual materials and crystal stones, deploying the Qiankun Cauldron in his hand directly to envelope and refine the materials using the Vermilion Bird Flame. He intended to forge array foundations; the grand array of the Returnless Forest was naturally formed, and the only remaining breach was the so-called path of life.
Within this urban circle, over a million people lived, interconnected by a crisscrossing transportation network. Its comprehensive strength in economy, scientific research, and military surpassed most nations in this world. All walks of life, joys, and sorrows were played out within it, resembling a flourishing golden age—a paradise yearned for by everyone in the apocalyptic world.
