Volume 1, Chapter 33: A Brawl

“What if I refuse?” The man had not taken Jiang Yihuan’s threat seriously at all.

Bars were places where all kinds of people mingled, and Jiang Yihuan’s clothes and appearance clearly did not mark her as an innocent young woman. Naturally, the man behaved without restraint.

Yet when he was truly about to divorce Fan Xiaoxi, he revealed a deep reluctance to let her go. He thought that perhaps this reluctance came from his sense of guilt, which was why he wanted to give Fan Xiaoxi some money. But once she agreed to accept it, he panicked—truly panicked. He realized that many things he had taken for granted might all have been wrong.

Su Hong was startled. What exactly did the old madam know? Could it be that she had already found out about that matter?

“Ahem, I told you—I was just choking.” Lin Chu was visibly embarrassed. When Dongfang Chenyu’s slightly cool fingers brushed across her face, she admitted that her heart had begun to race. She even felt an urge to hold him tightly, and the thought made her blush at once.

Ji Sun raised his head and could see the underside of the gigantic heart. Countless flames and the heat they emitted were concentrated in that hollow space. After glancing at it a few times, he shifted his gaze away.

“By the way, Commander, you can take a look beside the training ground. They’re holding a singing competition and a word-riddle game there. Tang Jiangzhao might be there.” Guanshan Qi had taken only a few steps before stopping and turning back to speak to Mu Yanfan.

“It’s already this late and you still haven’t gone home. What else do you want? Go back and wash your own clothes!” I honestly could not think of anything else he needed to do. Seeing him patting at his clothes, I immediately shouted at him again.

“Once I use this final evolutionary potion, my bodily genes will undergo a transformation. I hope my physical defenses can double as well,” I thought to myself.

The three brothers were still furious, but they had never dared to disobey Granny Zixian. They could only put away their swords resentfully and turn toward the mountain path below.

“Whatever the class monitor says goes. We’ll listen to you.” There was nothing else anyone could do, so they had no choice but to throw the problem back to the commander.

I told him to go to bed early that night, then hung up and immediately changed direction, heading straight back to my place.

Drunken Mint produces a hormone that stimulates the excitatory region of the cerebral cortex when it comes into contact with human sweat. Thus, after the fragrance’s middle notes fade, it develops a long-lasting reverse scent—passionate, alluring, and intoxicating.

However, as long as the missing parts were returned to their corpses, a golden light would descend upon them and restore them completely in an instant.

The people back home who knew I had done it had never heard of the undersea monster, so in the end, I was perfectly safe on every front.

When I went back that day, Qin’s mother was not at home. According to Aunt Wu, she had gone out to take care of something and might not return until evening.

The Daoist master had barely sat down when the entire main hall began shaking violently, frightening everyone present.

“Two conditions. First, withdraw from Zhabei. Second, release Chi. We are all brothers of the Heaven Gate, after all. There is no need for us to fight to the death.” The voice on the other end of the phone continued in an unhurried tone.

“Yes.” The bodyguards answered in unison and all left the room, including the man who had brought us to the hotel earlier.

That old man had gone too far a few days ago and angered Qianqian. He must have bought her a phone to win her over, right?

With money in our pockets, we felt bold and confident. The three of us swaggered along the pedestrian street, looking this way and that like spoiled young masters. Xie Zeyong bought Wang Qian a piano-shaped music box, while Wang Xing chose an exquisite wristwatch.

As the lord of the Bai family, Bai Yifeng did not live a carefree life. His people could barely keep themselves fed. The land was so barren that there was never enough grain, and the situation beyond his borders was no better. Powerful neighbors surrounded him, all watching his territory with covetous eyes.
