Because I would cook and wash for you, earn money to pay your tuition, and take the blows from your stepmother for you.

The girl’s voice was faint, with the hint of a smile.

Xing Jue stretched out his arm and took her hand. “That was only when we were children.”

“Is there any difference now that we’re grown?”

Xing Jue thought...

“Yao...” She murmured his name, but the only answer she got was that rough, heavy breathing.

He called himself the finest gentleman in the Sunlit Kingdom, loyal to the state, even treating the royal palace’s possessions as if they were his own.

One only feels nervous when one has expectations of others; clearly, she had no special hopes for anyone from the Shen family.

“Enough! Wei Hanyu, get out of here!” Xiao Wan cut Wei Hanyu off with a sharp rebuke.

Only then could her spiritual power flow smoothly into her body, summoning those mischievous thunder and metal magics hidden all over.

Mai Yuting smiled a little awkwardly at them and slowly walked over to Hu Yucheng’s side.

“Stop! Don’t move...” Xiao Wan could not bring herself to slap away the large hand Wei Hanchuan had reached out to her. This time, she did not force him to turn around; instead, she twisted her body and crawled around to stand behind Wei Hanchuan herself.

“Back then, you were the only one who went to the beast tribe. I didn’t know what exactly happened at the time. When I led people to look for you, I ran into Shui Lian and Xuan Yuan Shen on the way. I asked him whether he had seen you, and he said you had never gone to save him. You know what happened after that,” Xuan Yuan Chen said.

Besides, there were other patrol teams in the area, and the closer one got to the military camp, the higher the cultivation of the patrolling practitioners.

The aftershock from the battle spread a hundred miles in an instant, causing this small city to tremble. The city walls, built from irregular stones, had even collapsed in places, and the humans inside were howling in near madness, like the end of the world had come.

Had the Boulder of Gonk not belonged to Liu Tuo and recognized Liu Tuo as its master, then upon seeing such a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering scene, Liu Tuo would have fled three hundred miles in a blind panic.

This time it was Bun Bun. She smiled brightly, playfully tilting her body toward Liu Yi. Seeing his dispirited state, she was quite puzzled.

He swiftly drew his hand back, beckoned twice, and all the treasures came to him. Nianshu Ci stepped forward, took a few steps, and pressed them into Liu Yi’s hands.

The third son wanted to say something else, but at that moment the village chief’s eldest son turned his head and gave him a look, shaking his head slightly. Only then did the third son swallow back the words at the tip of his tongue.

The night watchman had not even turned around when he realized that something seemed to be pressing against his back.

Yet heaven has its unforeseen storms, and people have their misfortunes and blessings. It seemed that God did not think it quite proper for Liang Xiao to leave like this tonight, and wanted to tease him a little more. Just as Liang Xiao and Young Master Luo walked out through the front gate and had gone only a few dozen meters, a burst of urgent ringing sounded behind Liang Xiao.

A great many questions arose in You Jian’s mind—questions he could not possibly have imagined on his own, much less know how to answer.

“Damn you, who would like a scumbag like you!” Wang Bing did not hold back with his tongue, tearing into him whenever he could, especially when it came to Liang Hua.

The old man’s tone was full of uncertainty. There was nothing to be done; Qi Yu’s appearance and bearing had changed beyond recognition, and being able to make out even a little was already remarkable.

Ever since he began eating things produced by the spatial realm, he had actually not been ill for a very long time. The cold water and drop in temperature yesterday probably had little effect on him. Yuan Jiaqing guessed that it was because he had been in a rather poor mood yesterday; inner distress, combined with external factors, had brought on the illness.
