Chapter 69: Caught in the Act

“Haha... Xiaoyu, you let it slip, didn’t you? I just knew you must have seen those two sets of artistic photos I took, right?” Lin Shiyun laughed, her eyes full of mischief as she watched Lin Yu’s flustered expression.

Realizing he had revealed too much, Lin Yu knew that even if he tried to cover his mouth, it would be too late.

Thinking quickly, he composed himself and pretended nothing had happened.

Cilang also felt confused. His world had once consisted solely of mousse candy sticks, eating lamb, and sleeping. Now, a new element had been added: dolls.

This matter surely had something to do with Antonik. Could it be that Antonik had kept her confined here? Other than Antonik, it was unlikely anyone else would have come to this place.

Afterward, the two rode back to camp side by side, chatting and laughing. All along the way, Wei Yan animatedly recounted to Xu Shu the details of their successful ambush, clearly revealing the shadow that his previous failure had cast over his heart. Now, with this victory, he was finally able to let it all out and felt much better.

When Dongling heard this, her heart leapt with joy, and she hurried after them. Muxiang had never expected Dongling to be so bold and worried she might cause trouble.

Qiannai kept replaying in her mind: when had she ever told him she didn’t know what her dream was?

Watching the master walk far off, Butler Yun suddenly remembered he had forgotten to inform him that the girl was not in the residence.

Wu Yizong’s horse-like face flushed crimson in an instant. Of course, he understood what Li Zhen meant: his journey south to Yangzhou this time was essentially seizing the great merit that originally belonged to Lai Junchen. If the Xing Tang Society were destroyed, the credit would all go to Wu Yizong, with Lai Junchen receiving none. So, Lai Junchen would never let this go.

The next moment, a bone-chilling cold suddenly swept over, and all the color drained from Han Xin’s face, replaced by an ashen pallor he had never experienced before.

“The money can be transferred at any time, but can you really find the seeds for these medicinal herbs?” Ye Yulin pressed eagerly.

“I absolutely did not!” An Xiaoxiao leapt up from the sofa, and then, as if fleeing from some virus, instantly put three seats’ distance between herself and Gu Chen.

Lin Xifan was speechless. Anne had just handed him a Huaxia identity card, and the birth date on it really did say eighteen. Because the physical features of Westerners and people from Huaxia differ, Anne was now fifteen, but in the eyes of Huaxia people, she really looked eighteen.

“Manipulating the elements of nature?” Najeshitan and the others glanced at Liu Hao. Wasn’t Liu Hao’s Imperial Arms all about controlling four incredibly powerful flames?

Leaving his hometown had only taken a few short months, but in that brief span, Lu Feiyang’s life had changed dramatically, to the point that it all felt like a dream.

Chenxu said nothing, merely led her by the hand into the farthest room. Against the wall stood a large octagonal alchemy furnace, its fire blazing, with wisps of blue smoke drifting upward.

“Brother Xu, what are you…” Cao Yu’s exclamation was quickly followed by En Quanli noticing that Xu Zhe had actually picked more than thirty rough stones, his face full of astonishment.

All these people were chatting and laughing. Not only were Du Linbo and Wei Chengming courteously discussing matters with Lin Feng, even the other committee members were extremely warm, as though Lin Feng were a long-lost brother.

“A peak high god? And so many of them?” The followers of the City Lord of Destiny exclaimed in shock. To see so many powerful beings appear at once was far beyond their imagination.

Though it was battered and broken, and its appearance only vaguely resembled a tower, the fact that it could appear here meant there must be something strange about it.
