Chapter 28: Yu'er Is So Sweet!

I stared at the phone screen as Gu Yan’s reply quickly popped up: “Fu Shuhua is the male lead? What’s going on? I’m going to ask right now!”

Clutching the phone tightly, my heart pounded. Not far away, Fu Shuhua stood with his arms crossed over his chest, looking down at me from above.

Beneath his gentle French curls, his sharp eyes fixed on me with an almost imperceptible intensity, as if I were not a person but something else entirely...

After all that had transpired, Sun Qingling remained remarkably calm. She silently watched another figure dressed in black. At their feet was a distinct scratch mark, two fingers wide and one finger deep. From this mark, it was evident the surviving assassin was a wind-element user.

“Take your filthy hands off,” Ling Lanyu said coldly, turning her head away with disgust. Being in someone else’s hands meant enduring humiliation in silence.

“These guys really have money to burn—it’s like it’s blowing in with the wind,” Shen Ziyue remarked, having grasped the value of the puppet baby. Yet she still couldn’t fathom how these frenzied bidders treated money as nothing, wildly waving their paddles and screaming to push the auction prices ever higher.

Long Feimo, so proud and arrogant, would surely fly into a rage if he knew that she only saw him as a shadow, a mere substitute for Xiao Mobai.

This left Taibai somewhat displeased, but not wanting to spoil Su Qingyi’s mood, he simply followed her aimlessly, enjoying the peace.

The carriage creaked and jolted along the road, swaying with each step, with no end to the journey in sight.

Ye Xuan smiled. “Yes, I obey my wife’s command. I’ll go see Ying’er first.” No matter what Xia Xue said, as long as her heart was happy, that was enough.

The sudden roar of an explosion startled Heilun. The Demon King had gone to the Demon Star Empire’s palace to discuss matters concerning the Demon Continent. Heilun was trapped outside the energy barrier, unable to break through or learn what was happening inside.

Watching the Sea God’s army desperately close in on the Water Dragon tribe’s leader, the massive octopus slowly opened its cavernous mouth, resembling a cave entrance.

“I’m not sure. It should be nearby. I only heard that a mysterious figure has arrived in Hong Kong,” Lion Felian said calmly.

To be blunt, even if General Tidal died in battle, the royal family of the Great Golden Khanate would never forgive his sea clan afterward.

After all, Wolf Slaughter was a late-stage Dao Emperor who had comprehended the seventh level of the Dao’s laws, reaching nearly 90%.

Jiang Shiming intended to step forward to stop it, but when Jiang Feng suddenly flashed a golden light, for some reason, he lost the courage to move. By the time he reacted, a chill ran down his spine.

All eyes in the crowd turned to the voice’s owner. It was an elderly man in the back row, dressed plainly with a black baseball cap, making his features impossible to discern.

The atmosphere between the two was just right. After freshening up, Ning Wu came out with a dry towel and saw Shen Dinghai drying Ranran’s hair. He threw the towel back into the bathroom without a word.

He simply sat down to meditate, silently reciting the Heart Sutra. Jiang Feng sensed a dark intent nearby trying to invade, so he protected himself with the Primordial Tower and shielded his heart with the Heart Sutra.

Jiang Feng let them tug for ten seconds, then relaxed his mind. His internal energy surged, and the others recoiled as if shocked by an electric current, hastily letting go.

At that moment, I wore a smile utterly devoid of warmth. The faint hope once lingering in Jin Han’s eyes vanished completely.

Lu Zhizhan acted as if he hadn’t heard, moving his kiss from her shoulder to her cheek. He gave her no chance to resist, one arm around her waist, the other cradling her head, and began to kiss her lips recklessly, prying her teeth apart until all resistance faded.

He started rummaging wildly, first making sure the bed was neatly arranged before pulling back the covers.
