Chapter 132: Finally at Peace

The bitterness in Father Gu’s heart, stirred by his eldest daughter-in-law’s words, was instantly soothed. He nodded with relief and said, "If the second son's wife gives it to you, accept it. We can just find other ways to make it up to them later."

Eldest Brother Gu looked at the quilt in Mother Gu’s hands, a complex feeling rising within him. It felt as if he had punched a pile of cotton; his own wife had been relentless in bickering over the pheasant his parents had received, refusing to share even an ounce of the meat with the elderly couple while trying to claim the pheasant for herself. Yet, the other couple kept sending lamb and quilts—surely that was worth more than a single pheasant?

The other person’s presence was formidable. Facing him, he felt as if he were standing before a cold blade; this was an expert of an entirely different caliber.

How could such a luxurious room be considered a brothel? This was clearly on par with a VIP suite.

There were only Ling Yunhao and Mo Zhongdong in the kitchen, so even with Fang Yuankai added, it did not feel crowded. It actually made it easier for Mo Zhongdong to instruct Fang Yuankai, while Ling Yunhao continued to handle the stir-frying, as business had to carry on as usual.

A dozen meters away, several withered leaves drifted from the branches, and he clearly heard the sound of the leaves snapping.

The defensive magic arrays set up across the human coalition’s positions continuously unleashed countless new shields of light, layering over one another to form a protective canopy above the battlefield.

He pulled the clothes over the two of them to cover their bodies, adjusted to a comfortable position, and closed his eyes once more.

If he hadn't happened to read a post about the differences between saltwater and freshwater fish while browsing on his phone a while back, and remembered it thanks to his exceptional memory, he would surely have embarrassed himself just now.

Whether it was the First Army of the Diamond Principality Coalition or the First Army of the Iron Sword Federation Coalition, the distinction between the vanguard, left flank, and right flank had completely vanished, and their battle formations were no longer intact.

The Second, Ninth, and Eleventh Columns of the China Association Military Affairs Department, serving as the third division, were commanded by Deputy Director Lei Ming and tasked with defending the Aicheston Lotus River Valley.

After finishing his instructions, Magistrate Chen felt as though he might collapse. If Yunyang truly suffered a catastrophe, his official career would be over. Fortunately, Lu Manman had sent word before the epidemic fully broke out, giving them enough time to prepare; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

If one had to point out a difference, it was likely that the valley where the formation eye was located had lost its magical concealment and was now fully exposed.

Having had so much time wasted by Liu Chengfeng’s inexplicable antics, it was no wonder he was so furious.

On the phone, Liao Ximou expressed his hope that Lin Tiansheng would take office next Monday. He intended to publicly announce Lin Tiansheng’s appointment as Acting Captain of the Criminal Police at the Yunzhou District Branch on Monday morning.

He hadn't expected to sleep for so long. Li Yu looked through the dim light of the palace lanterns and, upon closer inspection, realized that the windows and walls were draped with layers of silk, presumably to ensure he slept better.

"What can I change? Are these things I am simply forced to accept?" Liang Feng shook his head, pushing these thoughts aside, and returned home clutching an exquisite box.

"Whoosh!" These guys had been starving for ages; they reached out with their chopsticks like famished wolves, making one wonder where all the food they had previously eaten had gone.

However, once the target for refinement was raised to a higher level—that of a spiritual artifact—it was remarkable enough to succeed even once, let alone talk about success rates.

Furthermore, by allowing Arsenal to frequently gain possession in the attacking third, Real Madrid’s goal was in grave danger.

"An evening gown..." Liu Wan’er pointed at her torn evening dress, her face full of bashfulness.

A-Sha was truly tall. Even on her tiptoes, Juan’er could not reach his mouth. She gestured for him to bend down, and only then did she manage to feed him half a steamed bun. A-Sha squinted and smiled, munching away contentedly.

A series of footsteps approached from the front as Ren Jiaying emerged from inside, accompanied by two other bodyguards, Ma Jun and He Hu.
