Volume One, Chapter 56: Kiss Me Until I’m Satisfied

(1/3)

After coaxing Chu Xiaoman to sleep, Qu Pan said coolly, "There is bedding in the cupboard, and the arhat bed has already been tidied up."

Chu Hanliang did not move. Instead, he stretched out his arms and embraced both mother and child.

"To make the act convincing, who knows if I'll be discovered if I move over there."

Assuming the four bodyguards she had outside were mere ornaments, Qu Pan tried to drive him away. "If you're not going, leave right now."

Leaving was out of the question. "What if that person happens to be the one you trust the most? If I go sleep on the arhat bed, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

A stab in the back from a relative was not impossible, let alone from subordinates with no blood relation.

Qu Pan still refused to believe her subordinates would betray her, but Chu Hanliang's words were not without reason. Qu Pan chose...

If they did not find a way to leave this place, let alone talk about getting rich, just surviving here would be quite a feat.

Sun Pingfan had originally thought that with Wang Hu being taken away by the police, the bet between Zhang Mingyu and Wang Hu would be voided, and Zhang Mingyu would not sing. Yet, contrary to his expectations, not only did Zhang Mingyu sing, but he sang a song that deeply shook his soul.

With Taishi Ci commanding ten thousand Qingzhou troops, Lü Qian, Wu Bai, and Zhang Jun commanding fifteen thousand Yanzhou soldiers, General Wang Lang stayed behind to guard Changyi with five thousand men.

Perhaps some students, due to their exceptionally outstanding and brilliant academic performance, might be spotted by a certain school for independent enrollment.

Bound by the identity of Princess Jingle, the person did not dare to resist and could only submit to Princess Jingle tearing at their body.

However, just as he arrived at the lounge, Zhang Mingyu received a phone call. After telling a staff member that he was going to the restroom, he hurriedly left.

Yuchi Zhenjin nodded in enlightenment, followed by a sigh of admiration. Good officials were always worthy of respect. It might sound unbelievable to you, but corrupt officials sometimes respected good officials even more than ordinary people did.

The courtyard was filthy and chaotic, with a few dilapidated tile-roofed houses scattered inside. On the far right of the yard, a simple fence had been erected, enclosing a few chickens.

Li Dengming did not return until eleven o'clock at night. When he feigned a sore back, walking over with the air of claiming credit as he lay down beside Song Yilan, he sensed that Song Yilan's attitude had changed. Although she did not show it directly, Li Dengming still perceived it.

Shen Xia, burning with anger, saw Shen Ruo step out and raised her hand to slap her without a moment's hesitation.

If making an appropriate concession could secure this match, Cao Jingxu felt that his persistence was something he could let go of.

This big fool lacked common sense; once his master gave him the job of holding the umbrella, he never parted with it ever since. Without Xue Huaiyin's explicit command, he refused to put it down no matter who asked him to. Why on earth did he suddenly shove the umbrella into his hands today?

At this moment, however, she could only suppress all of it, making her expression appear completely unchanged from usual.

Sun Ling offered a half-hearted retort, then plunged into the fray. After taking a few punches, he finally managed to pull the two apart with great difficulty.

Xue Huaiyin's expression grew increasingly ugly. He hated rainy days, hated thunder and lightning, and hated himself even more when he was like this.

Zheng Weijun was carried into the car by his driver and assistant, having drunk himself completely unconscious.

A loud shout came from the horizon, followed by a sharp sword falling from the sky, striking the arrow of black Qi dead center and shattering it.

By the end, Chen Yuting's tone was resolute, and his gaze revealed a strange, solemn majesty as he looked at Wu Linling.

Allowing Dingding to live here left a very bitter taste in her mouth, but she had no other choice. She was merely a life form created by the Undead, possessing no magic of her own.

It seemed that ever since her husband passed away, her life had been extremely difficult. If these fabrics could no longer be sold, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

The man's exquisite and handsome face carried a hint of gloom, yet his profound eyes remained deep and dark. As he cast a calm glance over, his gaze happened to meet hers directly.

Gu Meidu did not care about the meager monetary gifts they sent, but she desperately needed stones to pave the road leading to the official highway.

A short while later, the large characters "Mystic-grade spiritual beast, Blowing Snow Python" appeared on the big screen above the front desk.

With that, Wang Yu closed his eyes again, reconnected to the dungeon system, and began browsing the dungeons on the leaderboard.

The e-sports industry back then was nowhere near its current scale. There were only a handful of professional teams, and the slots available for professional matches were pitifully few.

"Where are you taking the Grand Master Uncle?" Lu Xueqi had just regained her wits when she saw two generals in armor escorting Daoxuan through the city gate.

"Yin Kansai, why don't you inquire further about who caused all of this?" suggested the senior executive of the Mechanical Heart from earlier.

Handsome Cui probably spent too much time lingering around Li Shimin. At the moment, he was happily observing the highest leader while his hands were busy feeding pastries one by one into the latter's stomach. Looking at this fellow's greedy expression, he felt nothing but contempt—profound contempt.

Ordinary factions, such as the Xu family, would find it remarkable to have even one or two Martial Ancestor realm experts, and those might not even be at the high stage of the Martial Ancestor realm.

The freshmen, who blindly worshipped the three—Taize, Yihan, and Jinyang—for the first time began to doubt the objects of their adoration, though this did not diminish the trio's status in their hearts.

Not to judge anyone with malice was the essence of her kindness. Ji Xiaoqing could not help but subconsciously engage in self-reflection, thinking she had almost gone astray.

"Su Feimo's technique is superb, so superb that Wang Yue is simply no match for him. However, Wang Yue possesses something Su Feimo lacks, and that is the very reason why Wang Yue has a chance to defeat Su Feimo," Shangguan Mulin said with a serious expression.

Although this was not their first intimate contact, Lin Sh琪's heart still could not help but flutter wildly, her pulse pounding against her chest.

Old Master Cheng was about to repeat his glorious achievements for the hundredth time when Yuchi Jing muffled his mouth with his hand.

Everyone nodded, knowing the temporary captain was doing this for everyone's good. Besides, there was really nothing to be gained in this place. What if they took a stroll and managed to catch a person or two? That was still much better than idling here.
