Chapter 26: Sister Gu, Who Loves to Chatter

Jiang Fan and the others slept until five o’clock before getting up, and the house was soon filled with the lively chaos of greetings and introductions. After finishing work, Gu Tingchuan, the eldest in the Gu family, arrived with his two daughters. Three women bustled in the kitchen while the men gathered in the main hall for conversation. The two little girls from the eldest branch played in the courtyard with Dabao, while Erbao was watched over by his father—feeding him was the only thing Li Qingyun needed to do when the time came, as that was the one task his father could not handle for now.

As mealtime approached, preparations began early; both the ribs and chicken needed to stew in advance, otherwise, they would be too tough to eat. Today, Li Qingyun was in charge of the kitchen.

Meanwhile, the impact on Huaxia was even greater, for the neighboring country shared its system and had always been regarded as a big brother. The biting wind howled southward. He simply watched quietly as her figure gradually disappeared from his sight.

“This plan sounds pretty good. I’ll be waiting for you in the capital,” Ouyang Ziyu said. Deep in his eyes was a firm resolve: he would return now to win back her heart, give her father, the child she longed for, and his love. Together, they would forget the painful memories between them and live happily—he was convinced of it.

The auction hall erupted into chaos; before the event started, almost no one would have guessed that the final winner would be Macau Tycoon Betting Company.

He needed to grow into a strong man as soon as possible; otherwise, how could he bear the heavy burden of the nation?

Returning to the inn, Chang Jiu, as usual, chatted with Huai Xi for a while. After she went to rest, he stepped outside and saw Green Willow and Round Moon sitting in the courtyard, gazing up at the bright moon and discussing Chang’an.

“Then what will you give me in return?” The man’s smile remained, strange and inscrutable.

At the debate competition, Chu Yang burst onto the scene as a newcomer, outperforming the seasoned debaters from Shangcai University, and won the title of Best Debater with an undisputed advantage.

Once the car came to a stop, Liu Yifei paid the fare. She then narrowed her eyes, glancing upward, pondering what Wen Feng might be doing at that moment.

The entrance to the Infernal Abyss could be reached via teleportation array. Lin Zhen, first, at the registry office, obtained citizenship of the Abyssal Nation—a trivial matter for Chris, an intelligent being with dominion privileges.

Beyond Flower and Fruit Mountain, the void rippled subtly as Xuanzang appeared, cloaked in gold and red robes, staff in hand.

“Optimus Prime, what the heck is that?” Although Xiao Qiyue had left the palace, she had secretly left the Sky Centipede behind, and thus witnessed everything.

By the time all two hundred incoming anti-ship missiles had vanished from the sky, the outermost twenty-four ships of the joint fleet had been sunk, with eight more heavily damaged and listing on the water’s surface, about to sink into the depths before long.

Here, all directions were shrouded by endless rivers of fate, radiating terrifying chaotic light that annihilated everything.

Around half-past nine, Lin Feng went to check on the two girls’ room and found them both asleep. He covered Yang Xi, who had kicked off her blanket, and then heard the voice of Old Jiang Liu.

In the hall that morning, a simple breakfast of porridge and rice was prepared. Shi Baofeng sat at the head seat, dining with Shan Lifu and several other chief managers, chatting about daily affairs.

As long as the group could maintain its cooperation with Poly Company, the advantages would far outweigh the downsides, and it would greatly benefit the company’s development.

Yet Susanna’s eyes flickered with uncertainty; it was unclear what she was thinking, and she did not pursue the topic further.

At that moment, a soldier stepped forward, holding a ring that emitted a faint blood-red glow, clearly extraordinary.

The portal on the right... led to the legendary ‘Forbidden Land’... Ai Suyan quickly scanned his surroundings, internal energy surging, as a nameless sense of danger began to spread insidiously.

“Of course, you and Dad just watch from behind,” Wang Lin said offhandedly.
