Chapter 20: An Unexpected Surprise

Qiu Yumeng paid no heed to her two friends still enjoying hotpot, but dragged Cao Mang out the door, with Gu Wushuang following them into the Hummer.

They parked not far from the mouth of an alley where a private clinic was tucked away—too narrow for the Hummer to enter.

Gu Wushuang checked the gun in his hand, Cao Mang carried a telescopic baton, but Qiu Yumeng was empty-handed.

After getting out of the car, she headed straight for a grocery store.

...

Zhao Fuxin’s injuries were severe. Daniu’s full-powered palm strike had left him with internal damage, and the Nine Suns energy would only slow his recovery. Yue Yun applied a healing powder for external wounds to Zhao Fuxin’s injuries, then gave him a dose of Dragon Saliva Incense to swallow; only then did Zhao Fuxin feel somewhat relieved.

Liang Zhiwei found it hard to believe; he’d long grown used to the Ye family’s lies. He regretted marrying Ye Yuqi now, but if she were pregnant at this time, at least he’d have something to show his parents and their business partners—a grandson would be even better.

After reviewing the answers from Zhang Caijun and the others, he fell into deep thought before summoning Chancellor Qin Hui and Grand Scholar Fang.

“He made it himself?” Song Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh, glancing at the coral piece. She was secretly delighted—who would have thought this guy could be romantic? To carve a name into such precious coral and display it in the room, it truly was a beautiful sight.

In the past, there had been two kisses between him and her, but they were both accidents, never so deep as this.

According to the explanation of the Furyflame Monkey, she and the Vermilion Dragon Beast were both considered top-tier among monkeys; together, they could produce superior offspring.

For someone like Guan Chenji, accustomed to only the finest, a blend of three-in-one coffee would never satisfy his standards. Gu Meng wasn’t foolish enough to offer up such coffee and be ridiculed by him.

If, at this moment, someone saw her locked in a room with Li Jingchen, no matter how innocent, rumors would inevitably spread. From the very beginning, this was something Ye Xiaohan could never clearly explain.

Zhao Fuxin couldn’t tell them what had happened with Binglian; otherwise, how could Binglian face anyone in the future? Once the food and wine arrived, Ouyang Feng and Wang Siyao didn’t take their seats.

She didn’t know how to explain—he was right. A heart cannot be split in two. Who was truly most important in her heart? Did she really know?

Whether it was Ishihara Satomi playing Miyamoto Rei or Aoi Yu taking on Takagi Saya, everyone was evenly matched. If the flat-chested airhead next door could act, why couldn’t our adorable idol take the role?

Once war broke out, Liu Zeqing lost every single battle—five defeats in five. The Liu army lost ten thousand men, fifty thousand surrendered, and they were utterly routed.

Qiao Mu’s right hand sent the Heavenly Cloud Sword flying straight for his opponent, while his left hand’s chill instantly transformed into an ice bird soaring through the air.

The next moment, he felt a surge of powerful spiritual energy ripple outward. The red ribbon suddenly sped up several times over, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

That very afternoon, after the news spread, over a hundred members of the Superman Corps vanished en masse, leaving the Northern District for other areas. No one wanted to be tied to a sinking ship and go down with the Superman Corps.

When Taijie mentioned bringing a wooden sword, his eyes shone; looking at himself, it was as if he were thinking of someone else.

“Husband, this is the last wave of monsters!” At the sight of the thirteenth wave, Qi Yun was especially excited.

Of course, the crackdown had already passed—for now, at least until 2017, it wouldn’t happen again. So Li Qing had no reason to fear getting shot.

“Thank you, Yunfei.” Jiang Rou liked hearing that. The two of them walked side by side, chatting as they went to pick up their assignment.

This wasn’t anything like a game of poker, where you could win by cheating as long as you weren’t caught. Here, it all came down to luck. The dealer might have some tricks up their sleeve, but outsiders would never be able to tell.
