Volume 1, Chapter 37: You Madwoman

Shen Du raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by the other person’s answer. In the end, however, he did not press the matter. He simply straightened, gave the other person a brief appraisal, then turned and prepared to leave.

Because of the scald, I could only eat with my left hand, but for someone like me, using the left hand… was rather difficult.

Daoist Master Azurecloud was said to be the most extraordinary man in the world. It was rumored that he could observe the heavens at night and discern the secrets of fate. Emperor Yuanwu revered him deeply, and Xiao Yao had been raised by him.

At the same time, she felt somewhat relieved. Fortunately, Charlotte had arrived in time. Otherwise, she would have suffered Benjamin’s humiliation. She hurriedly put on her clothes, but Benjamin had torn them to pieces, so all she could do was throw them on as best she could.

He rushed out of the car, sped back to Ode to Joy, used the access card Annie had given him to enter the building, and unlocked Apartment 2201 with the key she had given him. Sure enough, he saw Annie standing before the kitchen knife rack in a daze, so absorbed that she had not even heard him come in.

Still, Charlotte had one concern: what if Christine, Cindy, and the others, afraid of harming the hostage, suddenly attacked Adolf and took him captive? Adolf threw back his head and laughed, telling them not to worry.

I laughed. If he knew that Luo Ange had opened that place for me alone, and that only I—the lifetime Gold VIP—was allowed to eat there, would he call me a capitalist?

The taxi driver’s words left Lu Jinyang’s mother deep in thought, while Sun Yifan could not help giving him a silent thumbs-up.

“Xiao’er, no matter how many things Jun’er has done to wrong you, the two of you are sisters, after all. Now that she is… can you forgive her? Let her go in peace?” Madam Zhang gazed at Xia Qingxiao, her face drained of color and grief etched across her features.

At the moment the Desert Emperor finally fell, the red team’s marksman, the Abyssal Maw, destroyed the blue team’s Nexus with only three attacks.

She sniffed, somewhat listless, and did not feel like keeping the appointment. But a true hero took responsibility for her own words; since she had agreed to the date, she had to go.

Of course he knew she had once been a fool. She had regained her senses only when he married her a year ago—everyone knew that. Why had she emphasized it so strongly? Could it be… could it be that she truly had some secret he knew nothing about?

Although the man in black was formidable, he acted only on orders. Without instructions, he would not appear at random. His appearance could only be intended to unsettle me and divide my attention. They must be planning to make a move soon.

Tianye and Wei Simeng exchanged a glance and immediately understood what he meant. Tianye stepped forward and pulled the Ten Thousand Swords, Severing Shadows from the ground, while Wei Simeng tightened her grip on the Remnant Blade, Splitting Mountains. With a loud cry, the two charged together toward their new opponent.

Ding Yezhi nodded helplessly as well. Indeed, if the Tong family had not wanted something from her, they probably would not have listened to a word she said.

For a person whose heart had already died, if even the only illusion he relied upon were shattered, would that not mean his physical body would be destroyed as well?

No one knew what force stood behind the Demon Infant and opposed us. That unseen hand was carrying out its plan bit by bit. Our most urgent task now was to eliminate the Demon Infant, destroy one of their most powerful pieces, and clear an obstacle from our own path.

Seeing that everyone was preparing to return to their rooms for the night, Zhong Shan went back to his own room as well. He had been busy all day, and now that he had finally stopped, lying on the bed left him feeling strangely idle. He checked the time; it was only around ten. After thinking it over, he decided he might as well go to sleep.

“My child? You think a man who has undergone sterilization can have a child with you?” From the first moment he had seen that child at the hospital, he had known that her approach this time served some hidden purpose. So he had simply allowed everything to proceed according to their wishes.
