Volume 1, Chapter 49: Pusillanimous

With eyes reddened and completely disregarding the risk of provoking the ruthless Crown Prince, Lady Jiang rushed toward the garden.
She had already braced herself to witness a gruesome scene.
Yet upon entering, she froze in place.
Those following closely behind her froze as well.

Outside the room, Huier was already waiting. Free from the previous worry that Huier might be implicated by her, Su Jinman naturally stopped keeping her at a distance, and the two of them restored their once inseparable closeness.

Yu Qiqi wrote youth romance, but since humans are naturally driven by earthly desires, even if the early stages only involved kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up, the later chapters would definitely contain spicy plots.

"Fortunately Ah Li is here, otherwise I swear I'd think I was dreaming..." Well, with Zhao Xin, that blockhead, cracking jokes, the somewhat gloomy atmosphere instantly became lively again.

The reverse side of the silk brushed against her skin, making her feel as though her entire body had been struck by lightning.

Of course he had also heard the doctor utter the words "frequent palpitations," but he had never imagined that such a simple phrase could cause a person such excruciating pain.

A sudden, dizzying spin of the world. She finally felt the cold touch pressing against the back of her head.

Yang Linglan massaged her brow and reiterated once more that she truly loathed underground caves. Whenever she encountered them, nothing good ever came of it. Taking a few strides to the entrance of the inverted-cone-shaped cave, a sickening sensation welled up from the bottom of her heart. Yang Linglan immediately knew what lurked inside. Who else could it be but the demons?

Though it was already May, the morning breeze by the creek still carried a damp, biting chill. Yuan Sui covered her mouth and sneezed twice in succession, then crossed her arms to rub the goosebumps on them, struggling to sort through the jumble of thoughts in her mind.

The sound of the engine starting roared to life, snapping Wang Miaomiao out of her trance. She quickly rolled down the car window and poked her head out.

"Do you think you have the qualifications to bargain with us?" Shen Chi lowered his head, his gaze locking directly onto her eyes.

"Not really. He's simply been bewitched by Xu Zhaomu, completely devoid of all rationality," Zhou Ran said indifferently.

Lux's unfriendly tone did not seem to annoy Katarina; on the contrary, Katarina burst out laughing.

Song Hezhen said, "No reason was given, it was just a very direct refusal." And it felt... as if he were quite displeased as well.

The next moment, he pulled Mu Qingqing into his embrace, his strong, powerful hand cupping the back of her distracted head.

Getting carried away with herself, Gu Qingwan secretly slapped her own mouth, hoping no suspicions had been raised.

Catching his strange look, Nan Que suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and instinctively averted her gaze, only to be greeted by the scent of tobacco.

Consequently, Chen Liru called a family council and solemnly reprimanded the two young people.

Irelia's taunts became too much for Riven to bear! Riven strode over to Talon's side and, mustering every ounce of strength she had, shoved Irelia a good distance away.

Yining felt that Zhao Mingzhu had suddenly grown much sharper; she couldn't have managed it on her own. Yining glanced at the maidservants and matrons surrounding Zhao Mingzhu—someone must have been giving her ideas. Those capable of serving as senior maids in the Duke of Ying's household were certainly no simple figures.

However, this sort of thing didn't seem to have any connection to the "Floating Light Life and Death Wheel" either, as I couldn't link the two together at all.

It must be said that Li Xiehua's words hit the nail on the head, scratching right where Vice-Principal Zhang itched.

Yet put this way, Yun Qi immediately realized that if Lin Xueyao, Jiang Yun, and the others had truly been possessed by evil spirits when they attacked Jiang Chen, then somehow, everything seemed to fit together with eerie perfection.
