Chapter 66: Mistress Zhao is with Child

After they left, Old Madam Chi returned to Huafang Study. Naturally, the newly acquired Maitreya Buddha had to be properly enshrined. Meanwhile, Chi Yunjing was laid back onto a stretcher and carried by his page boys into Exquisite Courtyard.

He had been through absolute torment these past few days, and his coccyx was far from healed.

Yet one matter followed another, forcing him to put on a brave face to entertain this person one moment and that person the next. Now that he could finally catch a breath, his sole desire was to return to his cozy nest and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Requesting three days of leave...

Because of previous events, Ruohuai had been left out in the cold. The Grand Mentor had stripped him of his position as team captain, leaving him with zero authority in the club. He was reduced to an ordinary member, and how could he possibly reconcile himself to that?

"What inconvenience could there possibly be? We're all going to be family from now on, we should visit each other frequently," Yu Fei said with an air of absolute entitlement.

She scrambled up, rubbing her eyes as she walked out, and saw Yu Fei sitting by the living room, blowing-dry her hair while watching television.

For a few seconds, the air fell completely silent. I thought my brother would let go of my hand, and that Fang Mengnian would stand up.

Fan Peng furrowed his brow upon hearing this, just as he was about to demand a bit of respect, Wu Jun had already patted him on the shoulder.

"If they start fighting, the one who profits will be your Tiangong Hall! I suppose your faction is most eager to see them tear into each other, isn't that right?" Zhao Liuyue took a sharp jab at Mo Rui.

Thinking back to his school days, he had indeed been quite a mischievous troublemaker, to the extent that every teacher got a headache just at the sight of him.

I slowly closed my eyes, forgetting that once-shrilling voice, forgetting those people, as if the entire universe was left with only the reverberating echo of song.

Chu Luor smiled; the bubble tea shop had been around since she was in high school. She had discovered it by accident and had loved coming here ever since. Later on, she had even dragged Su Mu along with her.

Yet the "Everyone" column at the very end invariably bore two familiar names: Su Haoran, Wu Jun.

However, before John could even turn around, before John could persuade the Black Wolf to leave, the Black Wolf, upon hearing Chen Hao's words, had already begun courting death.

Seated in the eastern hall were the high-ranking figures of various Hongmen branches. Seeing that the opponent's background was unknown and that he showed no regard for their boss...

"Not big enough? Then use your full strength to fight me!" Wild Bull assumed his stance and challenged Jiang Kairan.

Immediately afterward, the ground shook, and a footprint nearly half a foot deep appeared beneath Jiang Shaoping's sole, kicking up a flurry of rock fragments as he lifted his foot.

Listening to Wei Xiang's words, Lei Laohu laughed coldly and said, "Cut the crap and stop putting on an act for me in front of me! I know you have people backing you up, but around here in Guangzhou, I, Lei Laohu, am not someone to be trifled with!"

A few days later, deep within the Flowing Fire Plain, Xiao Yan, after a mad dash of travel, finally descended upon a barren, crimson rock peak. Turning his gaze, at the very edge of his sight, three auras were rapidly pursuing him. Judging by their speed, they would be arriving here in no time.

Just as Wanying was standing before the white horse, cursing angrily in utter exasperation, a patch of white suddenly fluttered past her eyes. Liu Chenyang, whose face was as red as a tomato, nimbly vaulted onto the horse's back, trembling as he reached out a hand to pull Wanying up behind him. With a light nudge of his heels, the white horse obediently bolted forward like an arrow released from a string.

His entire body had basically returned to normal. A month and a half of time, for someone like Xiao Yan who spent years sitting cross-legged in cultivation, would not bring any negative side effects to his physical body.

Right at this moment, along the border between Weiyong County and Zhongyong County, the two marquises each led a hundred thousand troops, pressing right up to the border of Yuanjiang County.

Lightning flashed and thunder rolled across the sky as a fierce gale suddenly whipped up. Layers of ice emerged to block the encroaching black mist, and then a gentle white light fell upon the black fog, rapidly beginning to dispel the Shadow Dragon King's law-enforcement power.

"I understand your loyalty completely. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate properly, I'll help you break through to become a marquis." Liu Haoran patted Delai Shi's shoulder. Since this lackey was so sensible, he would keep him around for now.

Only then did Old Mai nod blankly at his phone, exchanging a few casual remarks before hanging up. His old classmate Lan Xinbo had been working in the old downtown area for over a decade and was currently the director of the district planning and economic bureau; there was hardly any personal network within his jurisdiction that he was unfamiliar with.
