Chapter 107: Wen Ni Had Been Dull and Foolish as a Child

Zhou Jingyi did not agree at once.

Tiny Wenni clutched her schoolbag tightly and trailed after him step for step.

It was as if, because he had saved her twice, she had latched onto him and decided he was a good person.

At first, Zhou Jingyi did not want to bother with her.

He had never liked children.

Especially not a delicate little girl like Wenni.

But when he met those teary, pleading eyes, he still gave in in the end.

He took her to school.

And once he did, he kept doing it for two years.

Zhou Jingyi patted Wenni on the lower back and asked, “When you were in kindergarten, who took you to and from school?”

Wenni had long since forgotten.

She answered offhandedly, “Probably your family..."

Later, when he heard that she had been taken back to the main house by her aunt, Feng Qianqiu, he grew both worried and tense.

Gu Qiang and Qi Chengye had already heard the full details of Gu Qingnian’s recent experiences while she was away.

Because he knew that this place had originally been the prefecture of Wu in Yangzhou, but after the founding of the country it had been renamed the Magic City, not only because of its thriving economy.

To Lin Ping, Li Chaogu, and Qi Feiyan, no matter when he saw them, Gu Qingnian’s heart was filled with boundless hatred; she would never find it excessive to tear them apart a hundred times over.

On second thought, it was not entirely hard to understand. It is difficult for a living person’s soul to leave the body, but Sphinx had stolen another’s body to begin with; his soul and this body had never truly been one.

After half a cup of tea, Xu Zhihu lifted his head. The eyesore in the hall had all, as he wished, been made to assume the proper “honorable” postures; the surrounding weapons glittered coldly, and the sight was somewhat pleasing.

Xu Zhihu did not know why, but the moment she stepped inside, all the things in the room that usually drew him in instantly lost the power to seize his gaze, and he could not help looking toward the approaching figure.

It seemed the Ancestor of Corpses was also trying his luck, swinging three times even if there were no jujubes to pick; if he could truly ruin Emperor Ming’s resolve, all the better. If not, it would do no harm. At worst, tomorrow his wife would just have to work a little harder.

As though he had seen through what Mo Fu was thinking at a glance, Yun Yuyuan reached out and rubbed the top of her hair. Only after the latter shot him a look of disgust did he finally let go.

The people he had sent out were clearly meant to tail the hidden line of the King’s Residence, yet somehow they stumbled upon the disgraceful affair between the Lin family and a young lady of the Shi family. As for that rumor, he only had to think for a moment to know it was surely the work of the King’s Residence.

But no matter what.

Fu Hao’s reason for striking at night was not to avoid the parties involved. Killing that shut-in while he was awake or asleep made little difference to Fu Hao. More than that, it was to reduce the number of other witnesses.

Xie Heshun said: “Beneath the flowers, a clear song and spring wine; by the river, the bright moon and a night of fishing.”
Isn’t that what we urban masses are all pursuing? One pole, one oar, one lonely boat; one fisherman, one hook. Set the heart free and let the body relax completely.

Just as the few of them turned and were about to walk into the school, a green figure suddenly burst out from the bushes at the side and blocked their path.

In truth, hearing Han Yan say it like that only made Zhang Minghao happy, because it meant Han Yan understood him.

As time passed, the profession of yin-yang master continued to flourish, becoming ever more widespread in the mortal world.

At those words, even the last whispers died away, and the hall became so silent one could hear a pin drop.

Under the horrified stares of everyone present, a black cloud like a tornado engulfed Tang Haoran in the blink of an eye.

Lin Lin smoothed her hair. Her clear, bright eyes looked at Qi Ling, and from the corner of her eye she glanced at Qin Ying. At once, her eyes turned red and grew moist.

When one mixes in the underworld, if one wants to live a little longer, there is one thing one must understand: on the territory of the Celestial Empire, you cannot make too much of a scene. If you really led men to storm the police force, by tomorrow thousands upon thousands of regular troops would be sent to encircle and wipe you out. This was no joke.

“I’m just puzzled as to why he would refuse my suggestion. That Xu Anran has already come into direct conflict with us today; not only did he injure Zheng Wu and ruin the plan, he even openly provoked Xiao Xi.”

Su Qingqing was still rather disappointed. She thought that if he truly wanted to crawl into bed tonight, she definitely would not resist.

Zhu Nan could not stand Guoqi and the others at all. Shaking his head, he prepared to go take a look first at that pile of dazzling gold horseshoe ingots.

“If the name were a little more imposing, that would be better.” Leonard had a strangely biased obsession with naming things.

A bodyguard at the door had deliberately said this to him; he was not at all trying to convey the meaning of the words that treasure had told him.

“I’ve actually broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm.”

After the brief thrill came disappointment. His parents were gone, and so was his home. He hated this country, but he hated the fake Jing Hao even more. It was their organization that had destroyed his family and caused his parents’ deaths.

This man was the crawling centipede of the Mystic Gate Sect. Alas! No one knew what his master had seen in him to actually appoint him as some kind of acting sect master.

Suddenly, there came a loud crash. Light shone in from behind them, as though lightning had split through the clouds, and someone forcefully pushed open the door of the screening room.

When that Dr. Wang said those words, the few of them relaxed somewhat. As long as it posed no threat whatsoever to Ling’er’s body, they were willing to agree to the request.

“I think so.” Qin Chuan took a white bead from his right pocket, then looked at Yun Yuzhi. Yun Yuzhi understood and took out a black bead, handing it to Qin Chuan.

Regardless of how the outside world viewed him, people within the circle truly respected the factory director when it came to hard work and diligence.

“Very well, kill Wo Meng at once.”

In fact, Demon of Ruin Gipu Bu did not want to do it himself either. That was a heavily guarded human military base, with weapons and defenses everywhere. If there was a wave-life form, then let a wave-life form go; only if that fellow were eliminated would it be his turn to act.

After saying that, He Lanyao sat cross-legged on the cushion on the ground and entered a state of comprehension.

This barrier was mainly for defending against the five-element divine thunder that poured down from the sky. Otherwise, there would be no need to fight at all; a single Five-Thunder Seal could already consume thirty percent of their combat strength. Vast clouds of blood also surged upward, drawing away much of the Five-Thunder Seal’s power, leaving both sides temporarily in a relatively balanced state.

Lindy turned around in surprise and looked at Lili. Seeing the troubled expression on Lili’s face, he smiled helplessly and shook his head. It seemed someone had taken him for a lecher.

Ordinarily, Tang Jie would have stormed off in a fit of rage and started hurling insults back at the first disagreement, but for some reason today she remained distracted and kept fighting on, though a look of bewilderment lingered in her eyes.

Still, Guan Xiaojun practiced boxing mostly for fitness and self-defense. He would never treat martial arts as a means of survival; it could only remain a hobby.

Ye Kai said, “Since the one who poisoned them is so familiar with the situation here, of course he knows that Xue Bin must die.”

Fu Hongxue agreed; the reasoning was obvious to anyone.

After all, for a diviner, preserving one’s life is simply too easy. Moreover, the identity of Xu Wuxiang had already determined that he knew a great deal of internal information about the Dragon Palace sea beasts. If he were not driven completely into a dead end, who knew what tricks he might still employ.

Yi Kai carefully observed her every movement. She looked utterly unfamiliar with everything here, as if it were her first visit. If she was pretending, then all I can say is that her acting is truly explosive, unmatched by anyone.
