Volume 1, Chapter 51: Business Trip

Holding the judgment document, Yu Jin clutched the edges so tightly that they were nearly creased; those few thin pages weighed heavier than a thousand pounds.

It clearly stated that the custody rights belonged to her.

She had won.

Xiao Jing, her daughter, could finally return to her side.

Startled by the man's fierce and decisive punch just moments ago, Ding Yi stammered for a long time before finally coughing up his bank account number.

Yu Wen's stomach was the first to protest, letting out a convoluted, winding growl that the soundproofing walls somehow amplified into a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree surround-sound effect.

Since they had never really gotten along in the first place, enduring beatings without being able to strike back meant they naturally had to mentally prepare themselves beforehand.

Bai Meilan was utterly delighted, pulling A-Jiao aside to take a dozen selfies. Wanting to pick the absolute best ones to post on her Moments, she found every single photo gorgeous and simply ended up posting a collage of nine.

"What a pity, supernatural entities always pop up to stir things up and won't let us live in peace," Chu Tao sighed with emotion.

Because although Ruan Ying's performance was indeed brilliant, Yao Congshuang and Jian Ran had also delivered exceptional displays; if they were to rank them based strictly on hard strength, whichever one they chose would inevitably leave others unconvinced.

As the first round of fifteen cards was dealt out, Fan Yan drew a civilian. Maintaining an expressionless face, he placed the card face down and began to quietly wait for the judge to speak.

Looking at Lucy, who appeared even more vibrant and alluring after her transformation, the Black Dragon could not help but gently lift her chin and murmur. A deep blush instantly flooded Lucy's face, and the rhythm of her breathing grew rapid.

The doctor said he suffered from a mild form of alexithymia; his expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure were far too muted, and he rarely even showed curiosity or confusion.

Xiang Yunjun grabbed A-Jiao and ran. Familiar with the school's layout, A-Jiao knew the left corridor led straight to the playground, and she led Xiang Yunjun out through the side gate.

Having memorized the moves and oral formulas of the footwork and palm techniques, Chen Feng immediately began practicing both martial arts manuals simultaneously.

As the heavy door of this room was closed and locked, Xue Dingqiu walked into an adjacent room and, through a massive one-way bulletproof glass window, coldly watched Selina and the others.

Just moments ago, when Chen Feng was sent flying by Xuan Yuanhuihuang's overwhelming force, he finally caught a glimpse of his opponent's flaw. Every time Xuan Yuanhuihuang swung his sword down with full force, there was a split-second pause.

"I've been searching for you for so long, yet here you are, acting like a turtle hiding in its shell." With a flash of sword light, a youth in white robes arrived by the stream, his cyan eyes fixed on a certain someone whose posture was utterly unrefined.

Dugu Chunyu and her group had long since rushed off impatiently to go shopping, but Luo Tian had not, because Luo Tian was very busy.

Wang Jue glanced at Xia Mingfeng, who had already turned and walked away, and shook his head. A fireball materialized in his palm and landed on the two mummified corpses, setting them ablaze, before he followed closely behind Xia Mingfeng toward the Xia residence.

Hearing this, Xia Mingfeng felt a secret jolt of alarm. Had Ji Muyu not kindly cared for him, his hand would never have reached toward the glowing night pearl, nor would he have discovered the teleportation array hidden here.

"Understood," Qiuju replied, and with Zhou Ruoning, she stepped out of Xining Courtyard and set off down the path toward Deiyue Tower.

Yu Qian nodded. He had never bought Wang Si's walnuts; walnuts were merely playthings meant to bring enjoyment. Selecting green-husked walnuts, much like gambling on raw jade or ancient timber, relied entirely on a sharp eye and experience. As long as he could pick a pair of roughly matching quality for two to three thousand, that was enough; making him spend tens of thousands on a pair of walnuts was something he would never, ever do.

"This—" Before Yao Minghao could finish his sentence, as if realizing something, he tilted his head and gazed at Lu Jue, understanding something from that seemingly harmless smile of his.

Fortunately, the darkest and most painful days had already passed. Now that Luo旭 had met a wife whose eyes held only him, good days had finally arrived.

Over a month ago, a torrential downpour struck Qionglai, leaving several townships disaster-stricken. Among them, Sangyuan Township was hit particularly hard, with the homes of many villagers washed away by the floods.
