Releasing Lotus Lanterns and Falling into the Water

She raised her gaze toward the window. The night was deep, and a profound silence enveloped the earth and sky.

With a soft sigh, she was about to resume reading her medical texts when a gentle knock sounded at her door.

"Miss Sheng," Lin Yan's gentle voice came from outside. "It is not wise to strain your eyes by staying up late. Would you care to accompany me to the small stream outside the temple to release lotus lanterns?"

Hearing this, Sheng Xiayan looked up...

Seeing that the atmosphere had thawed, Xiao Feng breathed a secret sigh of relief, shrugged, and nodded noncommittally.

Inside Eton Mansion in City B, Lan Yunjiang sat in a luxuriously decorated European-style hall. Beside him, Li Yulian was softly kneading his shoulders, while Lan Xing and his elder sister Lan Min sat on a sofa opposite, leisurely cracking melon seeds.

"No, no, how could I go behind your back to see Young Master Qin?" Xu Wanyi said, a flicker of panic in her heart.

He looked toward Nangong Han, hoping for an answer, but Nangong Han only pressed his lips together and remained silent.

Tear tracks were still wet on Consort Song's face as Qin Yunyi displayed an unprecedented resolve. Her words held such a clear battle intent—was she finally, truly going to go head-to-head with the Empress?

Ever since Zhen Xin disappeared while pregnant, Xiao Tingli often felt that there was no difference between being alive and being dead.

He had always been adept at concealing his emotions, yet at this moment, he could distinctly feel the veins throbbing on his tense forehead.

With one hand resting on the swing rope, Lan Xing walked around and sat down beside Ning Jing, pulling her into his embrace before gently nudging her head so that it rested on his shoulder.

Jun Qingyue's hard and cold chest felt like a solid bulwark at this moment, giving Xia Lin an inexplicable sense of security.

It had to be said that Hu Qian was indeed astute. Xiao Feng did indeed harbor such intentions, which was why he was so modest toward Hu Qian. After all, Xiao Feng was well aware of how terrifying the strength of迦南 Academy truly was.

These items were prepared for Lin Mei, Chu Chaoyu, and Xu Wuku. Given their level of cultivation, attempting to refine them into magical artifacts would be overly difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, Chu Wangshu had personally imbued all the talismans and completed the refinement himself. In the future, they would only need to perform a blood-bonding ritual to use them.

Su Chen gave him a side-long glance, as if to say "I don't mind at all," before gracefully lifting her ill-fitting long gown and walking away.

Wielding the giant golden saber in his hand, he rallied his spirits and lunged forward once more. At that exact moment, a wolf's howl echoed through the air.

Qin Hai couldn't be bothered to deal with these three clowns. Since Han Zhen had yet to comprehend the Human King Realm, even if you gave him a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to flee right now. He walked up to Uncle An and carefully examined his injuries.

An intensely potent spiritual fluctuation emanated from it, accompanied by an extremely peculiar fragrance.

Tony had actually visited the Kingdom on the Bridge twice before. However, perhaps due to William's briefings and explanations prior to this visit which created a preconceived notion, now as he looked at these laborers, he indeed discovered many different things.

Of course, since the other party had arranged matters to this extent, they had already shown utmost courtesy. Meng Fan was naturally very grateful, and he wouldn't push things to excess.

The problem was that Yu Digen and Li Damu had no ties to Yuan Shao whatsoever; how could they possibly go out of their way to help Yuan Shao for no reason?

Du Feng looked doubtfully at Old Zhong, because Old Zhong had claimed that Su Susu was abducted. Yet, judging by her current reaction, it did not look like an abduction at all. She was not restrained in the slightest, and moreover, she was sitting comfortably in a carriage, talking about accompanying some Young Master Jia on an outing—could the two of them have known each other all along?

A voice reverberated across the Giant Stone Peak, sounding as though countless mouths were speaking simultaneously, making it impossible to determine the direction.

When they reached the doorway to submit and receive quests, the chubby fellow intended to go inside first to assess the situation before letting me enter.
