Chapter 109: I Don't Mind That You Have Someone Else in Your Heart

Having said that, Xing Jue cut off whatever Si Yao was about to say.

At the stroke of midnight, he hoisted her sweat-slicked legs and leaned in to kiss her lips, which were barely able to close, over and over again. "What is my name?"

Si Yao breathed heavily, and amidst Xing Jue's persistent questioning, she squeezed the words from her chest, "A-Jue."

Her voice was hoarse and soft.

...

Before the Thousand-Eyed Giant began, its body was shrouded in a layer of black light. This black light acted like an orb of energy, or perhaps an isolated dimension; it may have been this layer of light that severed the connection between the body and this space, preventing the rules of the outside world from perceiving it, which is why the rules of this space did not react.

Fu Jiu sneered; whether it was Western-style or Chinese-style didn't matter, it was just a formality anyway, and the wedding was not something she had ever hoped for.

"Look for yourself. The car is gone, and so are they. The facts are right here—are you still going to say I'm sowing discord? Can they even come back? How did you become so willfully blind, refusing to admit the truth no matter what?"

It was unclear what kind of auspicious day it was, but two strangers he had never met before both claimed to be his old friends, and their purposes for visiting were identical, which made it very difficult for Zhang Fei to decide.

"You've been gone for a month, and Jia'en... he misses you very much. I came to check on you." Han Xuena clumsily fabricated an excuse.

Fu Jiu’s expression shifted as she looked at her, but the other woman remained calm; she had never told anyone else the truth about her feelings for Huo Yuqian.

"Peter, which wholesale market did your brother say his younger brother was at yesterday? I heard there are several markets in Budapest."

Shen Yue, seventeen years old and in her second year of high school, often felt that her home lacked a sense of warmth because her brother, Shen Tao, was frequently away. She moved into the school dormitory and wouldn't return home for weeks at a time.

When the process reached 95%, the silver needles buried deep into the acupoints on the giant’s body began to slide out slowly.

"As the saying goes, it is better to destroy a temple than to break up a marriage. Seeing that Mr. Han is in such a rush today, why not come another day to formally propose? I, the Commander, will be sure to host you properly." Huo Yuqian’s tone sounded very cordial, yet everyone present could hear the underlying chill.

Huangfu Zhaoyang, having previously heard the Black Emperor bluntly state that his skills were inferior, had already been stewing in anger. Once the Black Emperor left, he immediately cast aside the memory of his recent defeat, wanting only to kill this youth with his own hands to wash away the humiliation.

In the biting north wind, Master Zheng the Second kept rubbing his hands together. It wasn't that he felt cold; it was that he felt a fire burning in his heart. With nowhere to put his hands, he had to keep them busy.

Chu Huaixian carefully scrutinized the youths, surprised to find that he did not recognize most of them. Thinking of his father’s recent worry over Chu Huaide, Chu Huaixian felt a pang of guilt for being so inattentive toward his brother.

Fu Xun sat atop the five-colored divine deer, dancing and laughing gleefully, looking for all the world like a child showing off a prized toy.

An ocean formed of violet lightning engulfed the sky, representing the will of the Divine Realm's heaven and earth. It was capable of obliterating all living things in the world, making one’s very soul and bones tremble uncontrollably.

He spoke with such certainty that if Ba Niang wanted to deny it, she would only be making a fool of herself. At a loss for words, she could only nod involuntarily.

Gu Jiaqi dug her fingernails into her palms, using the pain to block out the overwhelming waves of resentment and fury. How she wanted to shout that she didn't care if they lived or died, but, recalling the events of the past, her heart was a tangle of conflicting emotions, and her will succumbed to her inner turmoil before she could speak.

"Wait a moment, I'm going inside to get something." Moqi Yang asked Zhao Long to wait outside, though his true intention was to listen for news from Qiao Zhi’s side before making a decision.

In the eerie silence, a voice suddenly erupted: "Your Majesty!" The eunuch sent to summon the person came tumbling in, frantic and panicked.

Having cared for Mu Bai for several days, Ning Xia had been submerged in a world of darkness and seemed to have grown accustomed to it; even the sunlight felt blinding now. When Nie Chenrang finally opened the sealed windows to let the light back in, Ning Xia kept protesting. Nie Chenrang immediately shot her a sideways glance, remarking that he suspected she had turned into a rat spirit.
