Chapter 70: Slowly Nurturing

“Forget it. I’ll take it out and admire it slowly when I’m alone late at night,” Lin Yu muttered under his breath, a slightly lecherous smile creeping onto his face. After all, the photos were on his phone, so he could look at them whenever he wanted.

Now that he had this thought, he no longer considered looking at them in front of Lin Shi...

Jin Roujia had no intention of stopping Zhang Er’s actions. She played with the whip in her hand, watching Zhao Shi with a half-smile. Zhao Shi’s mouth was full of blood, his gaze dark and brooding. Suddenly, he gave Jin Roujia a gruesome, bloody grin—sickening to behold.

She had already made up her mind: if the Tan family insisted on using force, then she’d rather give them her corpse. That was her stance!

Jin Roujia bit her lip as she looked at the emperor, feeling wronged. This was the first time he’d spoken to her in such a harsh and ruthless tone.

With all these calculations behind the scenes, the Emperor’s current choices no longer seemed abrupt. Even Wang Long’s earlier rejection of the God of Speed’s proposal was for similar reasons.

“My grandparents’ house is gone!” After crying for a long while, Wang Xinling finally choked out these words.

Park Haechao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded dejectedly and went back to fiddling gloomily with the cutlery on his tray.

Now, his suggestion deliberately touched upon this point. His intention was to push Jiang Xue and Dragon City into a corner with no way out.

They all thought that Wang Long and the others had encountered some mishap in the divine realm, and were about to gather the strongest elite forces from Dragon City and the Flood Dragon to break through the Gate of the Void to investigate. But at that moment, an overwhelming primordial force surged into the present world from within.

The murmurs weren’t loud, but Yun Feng merely smiled faintly in response. Reversing his grip on the stone-cutting knife, with his keen vision, he could even see the patterns inside this soul stone with perfect clarity!

“The First Madam and Second Madam live in the old house on East Street without any guards. The Third Madam and Master Huang live in the current Huang Residence on West Street—there are always two guards at the door,” Huzi reported.

Feigning a rakish air, he brushed aside the stray hair on his forehead and flashed a flirtatious glance at Qingshui with his peach blossom eyes.

Yao Luo, blocked from going further, grew a little annoyed. Looking over at Gu Qianqian’s side… damn, she was already gone.

Since that’s how it was, she couldn’t be blamed for being ruthless. It was all because the Princess Royal was too biased. If only she’d received a little motherly love from her, she wouldn’t have turned out so obsessive and crazy.

“Boss, when did you get so close with the class beauty? Why didn’t you ever tell us?” his roommate called out, winking at Ding Chen.

Li Shan felt a lump in her throat. The way she put it, it sounded as if Li Shan herself was the one holding everyone up.

No sooner had he relaxed for two seconds than he forced himself to lift his head and look around. Beside the deep pit, he saw Zhang Ziyun lying there. Just like Ophelok and Hiliya, Zhang Ziyun’s glow was dazzlingly bright—perhaps even brighter.

Zice’s sudden interjection surprised them. By rights, this didn’t really concern him, so why was he angrier than anyone else? But they didn’t think too much about it, just assumed Zice was speaking up for Pang Yueban.

Ling Yun knew that racial discrimination was rampant in Country M, and people there looked down on anyone who wasn’t fair-skinned.

Having received the list, Chu Yue glanced over it—there were nearly a hundred talismans. “I don’t have many left right now. Is he in a hurry? Can I get them to you tomorrow?” Luckily, most were low-level talismans, which weren’t hard to draw.

“With all the rich food you eat every day, of course you look good,” Chu Yue said truthfully. Her own meals really were quite good.

“It’s been a tough time for everyone. The winner of this competition will get a reward of five thousand yuan. The school won’t take a share; the basketball team and substitutes can split it evenly. I trust you have the confidence to win this, don’t you?” the grade leader asked.
