Chapter 102

Is that it? And to think she dared to tell such a damn lie, nearly getting her killed. But since things had reached this point, being angry was useless. Xu Yunzhuo did not want to live in a different world, so she would simply have to go on living in this "Xu Yunzhuo’s" body. Before that, however, she had to figure out what the connection was between this body and herself.

When Pei Qiaonian arrived at the company, Sister Cheng had already been waiting for a long time. He no longer needed to appear on the dating reality show; after all, he had only signed on for one season.

Given the situation, the Spring Rain Pavilion had no choice but to opt for damage control, dismissing the guards who had been searching everywhere and stationing them around the perimeter as a precaution. Although this spell was generally only used to control inanimate objects—as living beings could break free with a bit of effort—the situation remained tense. Within Qiusui City, the neighborhood where the destitute lived was the most chaotic, followed by the docklands. In the homes of the wealthy, while there were occasional cries and screams, things were relatively quieter, though every household kept their doors barred tight; they all possessed at least some common knowledge of magic.

As they spoke, Yun Qingyang reached out and tapped the center of Li Ling’s brow. He searched Li Ling’s sea of consciousness thoroughly but found nothing out of the ordinary.

An Jinchen had never imagined that their marriage would one day leave him in such a passive position.

Regarding public order: The three men—Huang, Hu, and Mou—were influential figures. If they did not support the magistrate, the magistrate would have a difficult time. One had to realize that the iron rulers being thrown weighed at least thirty or forty catties; even for the yamen runners who used them regularly, none could match the prowess Chen Lin was displaying now.

He feared that if Hou Fa and Hou Yiba failed to kill Sha Hu, Sha Bolao, and the Hao woman, they might go to the magistrate to report him.

As for the low-level demon fish, most had been wiped out by it over the past two years.

"Qingqing, did you forget my name?" The deliberate, ambiguous tone made Mo Qingcheng freeze. How could this person be so childish?

He was just about to call Nami to ask if she needed help, but the pirate ship suddenly sped away, leaving the Sunny completely unscathed. Buggy was left even more bewildered—what was going on now?

Wang Meng nodded without a word and vanished from my sight. I walked into the school without hesitation, having already planned my next steps. Time was short, so I had to seize every opportunity.

While anyone could have thought of these wontons, I had to be the one to be the first to take the risk here in Xiping.

At the mention of Aunt Meng, the second son of the Chen family shuddered and produced a velvet box; it was heavy, likely filled with so much silver that a single hand could not hold it.

Buggy considered that they had all attained decent strength and had fought many times over the past two years. When the time came to battle Hody and his crew, he and Luffy could handle the main threats, so there was no harm in letting the others participate.

She looked at Cheng Yunduo, who had just remembered the matter of the summer retreat. He felt a pang of regret, but it was too late to stop it.

At noon, she received a message from Tang Yi saying that Yan Xilou had returned from his business trip and was coming to pick her up.

I didn't even have time to react before I fell off the chair along with Zhou Lan. Because of the rolling motion, I ended up landing on top of her.

Glancing at her father, who was still in a deep sleep, Shi Manyue surreptitiously left the ward with her phone, only answering the call once she had closed the door.

Cheng Qi frowned as he looked at him, searching his memory for a long time, but he could not identify the burly man standing before him. However, judging by his attire, which was quite lavish, he assumed the man was likely the descendant of some great clan from back when Taixing Zhenyang was conquering those three provinces—just another sycophant like Cheng Yunshan.

As for whether this was unfair to Ziyu, who was the weakest of the pair? Zichen only had to glance at Ziyu, who was pouting with displeasure yet offered no verbal objection, to know that she had once again been relegated to a mere spectator. Although she had joined the operation, it was likely no different from a sightseeing trip, and the three available spots would certainly not include her.
