Chapter 80: Another Encounter with Willow Cuihua

Li Qingyun explained to Aunt Qiuju that she had agreed to go with her to cut wild grass. Gu Tingzhou repeatedly reminded them not to venture deep into the mountains; it was enough to gather some at the edge of the woods, since the family wouldn’t need much. Only after Li Qingyun promised earnestly did he let them go, packing a thermos of hot water for mother and child. He stayed home, watching over the sleeping second child, quietly sorting through the game he’d brought back and taking care of the pelts.

He wanted to take advantage of his time at home to stockpile more meat and rabbit fur, enough to make each of the three a warm winter coat. To deal with Ruoyan, he still kept some strength in his primordial spirit, so the split-off shadow spirit was not actually very powerful.

“Finally, I’ve broken through to Seventh Rank Martial Disciple.” Mo Ke’s face lit up with a smile. After consuming the spiritual energy within a piece of jade, his cultivation had finally reached the seventh rank. Yet not long after, a careless mistake would cause one of his athletes to lose a signing opportunity, and he would kindly compensate for the loss out of his own pocket.

At that moment, Ancestor Xiang Tengsong made his move. With a step as swift as the wind, he appeared before Mo Ke, and with a wave of his hand, a fierce black light slashed toward him.

These shoes are truly excellent, worth trying on. Though forbidden in competition, they’re well worth testing in private.

“Judging by its behavior, could this bamboo tube also be a rare treasure?” Zuo Jun wondered as he gripped the bamboo tube. If it really was, then he’d be at a loss.

Zhong Mu and Cai Hui were sworn brothers who had faced life-and-death together, always referring to each other as brothers. But today, Cai Hui might have reached his limit.

In recent days, journalists had been tirelessly trying to infiltrate the Five Venoms Sect and Tang Clan to uncover fresh news.

Zhao Ying felt a sense of foreboding. She tried to dodge, but it was too late; she could only let herself be surrounded, feeling a cold force as if invading her soul, binding her tightly, and even her thoughts seemed frozen and sluggish.

Slowly opening his eyes, Yu Liang exhaled a heavy breath. As he carefully savored the benefits brought by the ascension of his physical body, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear.

“Not much, really. If I’d known she was so remarkable, I would have protected her even more, and waited for Dragon Thorn to properly develop her.” If one still had to be honest in such circumstances, then Lynx was truly an idiot.

Until you appeared… Someone who seemed utterly unrelated to me, yet somehow, in ways unseen, indirectly changed the course of my later life.

The engine’s development then eased, and the golden earrings warmed, the heat of the other’s skin revealing the hardship, the struggle, the bitter years.

Those words were skillful—first exposing Gu Junming’s nonsense, then highlighting my goodness and tolerance, stating I wouldn’t hold a grudge against Gu Junming’s excessive actions. With that, Gu Junming’s image would suffer in the eyes of the leader, while my own radiant reputation would be elevated.

He rubbed his nose, glanced back, and didn’t need to guess—it was surely Park Jinsoo cursing him again.

Liu Yanxue gave Ji Cairao a slight smile and then sized up the two from head to toe. Their attire was utterly different from what she’d seen before.

The grass on both sides wasn’t tall enough to hide anyone. After searching all around, everyone exchanged glances—where was the person? Zhao Xiuxia ran over, frustrated that she hadn’t caught the culprit, and slapped her own thigh in irritation.

“Home? Didn’t go to school? Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.” Tang Yanxue hurriedly hung up, instructing the driver to head to Mo Ya’s house.

Han Ruobing gazed at Tang Luo’s retreating figure, remembering his kindness toward her, and the frost on her face melted a little.

After the Dictator team’s timeout, they managed to tie the score at eleven to eleven. The fans, who had just been feeling low, instantly revived, their cheers for Chen Yao and the others echoing throughout the arena.

Qin Chao finished speaking and was already lying in bed. He didn’t look back at Li Yong, but he truly admired him and was a bit moved. He hadn’t expected such strict security, yet Li Yong had the courage to sneak in just to find him. Qin Chao closed his eyes, reflecting on it.
