Chapter 33: Yuan Shen Departs Once More

Yuan Shen did not return until evening that day. After coming home, he held his son and coaxed him for a while, then carried him on his back and took him out for a horseback ride. That night, father and son slept with their arms around each other.

Yuan Shen was due to leave for the capital early the next morning. He had not wanted to disturb his son and planned to slip away quietly, but Yan Chaonian refused. “You should still tell him. Don’t assume that because he’s young, he understands nothing. Explain it clearly, and he’ll understand.”

They woke the little boy, who was still fast asleep. The moment he opened his eyes and saw his father, he immediately revealed—

Before Su Yi arrived, the courtyard had clearly been thoroughly cleaned. Everything was spotless, and even the bedding and furnishings in the rooms had all been replaced with brand-new ones.

The doctor did not dare make any rash claims. An explosion at such close range would have a shock wave powerful enough to shatter a person’s internal organs.

This time, the production team had used Shen Munuan and Xi Yunxiu to draw in a great deal of attention. Quite a few people were already urging them to air the next episode.

“But—but you can’t joke about my chastity!” Qu Miaoyan was practically on the verge of a breakdown.

Who would have thought that Zhan Qing, an atheist, could say something like that? Shen Munuan shot her an exasperated glare and scolded her harshly.

Severe pain swept through Tom’s entire body, but what tormented him even more was Chu Yan’s condescending gaze and the countless knife-sharp eyes surrounding him.

As expected, there were many spectators. When they entered, only two seats remained in the rear corner. Looking toward the front, she saw Mo Ziyan and Luo Hui seated in the very first row, while the rest of the Mo family sat on the opposite side. The two factions were clearly divided.

Its great advantage lay in its immense commercial value. It had even set a record for first-year graduate students at the graduate school, rivaling her achievements when she had been an actress.

Jiang Wuye hardened his heart and made a firm decision to flee. He had no intention of going to the ancestral hall to cause trouble anymore, and immediately turned around and sprinted toward home.

However, many people also realized that they were unlikely to gain anything by following behind the Xuantian Sect’s group, so they split off and went their separate ways halfway there.

Ouyang Fan had truly wronged Xiao Qingfeng. At that moment, Xiao Qingfeng’s feelings were even more complicated than Ouyang Fan’s, because he had discovered, to his horror, that he had already lost control of his own body.

Yet that level-thirty pink gun was far too important to him. At the current market price, it was absolutely worth a hundred thousand. If that dull-witted Sword Soul Ouyang Fan picked it up, it would become nothing more than scrap.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me. Someone asked me to come teach you a lesson—to beat you up. Now that you’ve been defeated before me, you have only two choices. First, I beat you up. Second, you slap yourself several times!” Mo Xie declared arrogantly.

Xia Yuan blinked in confusion. Hadn’t the Evil Face already gone on a killing spree? How could there still be survivors?

Lan Xi followed Mo Bao’s pointing finger and saw a portly middle-aged man standing there.

“No. I don’t want to let go—and there’s a chance I never will.” The corner of Xue Shenxing’s mouth curved into an exceptionally handsome smile.

It was only in the past few days, when Lan Xi began making frequent trips to the trading center to purchase various materials, that they finally managed to track her movements again.

Bing Bei had only recently broken through to the Myriad Manifestation True Person realm. Before Li Shang, whose strength was nearly comparable to that of a peak-level Myriad Manifestation True Person, he was naturally far outmatched.

“Heh heh, Auntie, don’t worry. If I make you sick, won’t I still have to enter your tender embrace later? Wouldn’t I get sick too?” Li Qiang chuckled as he dug in forcefully with his fingers, as though he were playing with an amusing toy.

When Zhang Nan saw that Chen Runze had not intentionally blamed her, she immediately relaxed. It seemed that Chen Runze’s patient guidance really had produced a positive effect.

With Lü Lie’s discerning eye, how could he fail to see what kind of person Old Fourth Liu was? It was just that the seven years of sleep had left him with too many unanswered questions. He had to find a way to uncover the root of it all. Seeing that this Liu Laosi, who resembled Yang Wei, seemed to know something, Lü Lie could only leap into the trap, even though he knew perfectly well that it was one.
