Chapter 28
Yan Lan looked at Fei Yihan’s indifferent expression and suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness. Still, she forced out a smile.
“I’ll go change right away.”
Holding the clothes, she walked into the dressing room. A short while later, she came out again—still as beautiful as before, but with a faint weariness on her face.
When Nangong Jin returned home from court, the butler immediately informed him that Feng Yuechen, Prince Chen, was currently visiting the residence.
That same day, Feng Jie finally encountered a red-haired, valiant-looking man outside Yong’an City.
“No, I’m allergic to overly strong fragrances!” Ning Baobei said, rubbing her nose and waving her arms.
As for the love triangle between Lilith, Lucifer, and Loli-Li, the players had all sorts of theories. But no matter how much they speculated, the parties involved never offered an explanation.
Lilith had always maintained that emotions in a game would never cross into reality—at least, she would never let such a thing happen.
Everyone panicked completely—terrified, disoriented, and in chaos. Like headless flies, they stumbled around the car, crashing into one another.
“D-Dead?” The squad captain, still shaken, rubbed his own face to make sure he was unharmed, his disbelief lingering.
Even she herself couldn’t clearly say when she started liking Gu Haoran. Perhaps it was at first sight… or perhaps, over time, with countless reasons mixing together.
Although the ministers said nothing, Ning Baobei could clearly sense them occasionally glancing at Nangong Yu from the corners of their eyes.
Yun Weiyang didn’t pay much attention, nor did she notice when Li Ye left. With his ability to come and go without a trace, it wasn’t hard for him to leave unnoticed.
It wasn’t a slow fading into dust—rather, he vanished in the blink of an eye, as if he had never been there at all.
“Lover!” Xu Zuoyan blurted out. But he and Ye Kaicheng were only pretending—fake lovers! Yet Gao Lingyun said it like that; apparently, he misunderstood the situation. Xu Zuoyan had thought Gao Lingyun already knew the truth about him and Ye Kaicheng!
But could Hong Lian really be trusted? If she was actually a pawn planted beside Wantong Tian by the Fusang players, wouldn’t everything fall apart?
“I didn’t do much—just came to take your life!”
Suddenly, a loud voice rang by his ear. Who else could it be but Li Xin?
As soon as Li Tianming finished speaking, the team members responded one after another. Judging by their replies, everything seemed mostly fine.
“Hiss—!” A sudden burning pain shot through Yun Weiyang’s arm, and she couldn’t help but gasp sharply.
Gao Ziyu merely raised an eyebrow, watching her with a half-smile, as if saying, Didn’t you say you wouldn’t admit it? Why are you regretting the engagement now?
“Someone bring tea for Mr. Lei.” Fukuda Kazuo’s narrowed eyes gleamed with a flash of light as he called to Mori Kazuo waiting outside the door.
The most direct sign of his improvement was that his current spiritual power could now scan an area with a fifty-li radius—like a radar.
“Could it be that nearly drowning altered his brainwaves, and now he’s determined to study hard and inherit billions in fortune?” Lin Wangchuan teased.
The faint candlelight followed Old Li’s hand, drifting away from the candle itself, trembling slightly as it moved closer to the cloth bag.
As dusk began to fall, Luo Zhaoyang waited for Mu Zexi for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, but when he didn’t appear, she ordered Qingwan to help her wash up.
“It must’ve struggled too hard and got its leg caught. Find two sticks—I can make a simple splint for it. I just hope it won’t bite me,” Lin Wangchuan said worriedly, glancing at the wolf.
Having time to play but no game energy points left was utterly frustrating. Even after finishing all available activities, there still weren’t enough points—so spending a little money to buy some didn’t seem unreasonable, right?
Shen Zhiming never imagined that the very words he once used to mock He Ming and the others would one day be thrown back at him by Jiang Chiheng.
Meanwhile, inside the system space, Wangcai rolled its eyes at Xiao Yunnan’s speech.
The driver was infamous for being greedy; anyone he targeted would get fleeced. Who knew how much he planned to squeeze out of this job?
In truth, for a cultivator, pouring wine didn’t require such trouble—there was no need to even stand up.
When Sheng Zi heard that, he immediately shook his head. All the food Xie Yanlai had brought, he only ate part of it; the rest he took back to headquarters, where many comrades were still malnourished.
“But Master,” Butler Hu hesitated, “could it be you’re overthinking? Someone chased down by Lord Xiao like a stray dog can’t possibly be a powerful figure, can they?”
As Zhou Tang went upstairs, she noticed that the higher she climbed, the fewer people there were. By the time she reached the fiftieth floor, there wasn’t a soul in sight.
Sun Ting’s car was parked in the middle of the courtyard, doors of the villa wide open, and every light in the house was on.
Zhou Tang knew Zhou Yangxi must be frantic right now. All she could do was calm her emotions first.
The rumors about him and Lu Yuan had spread wildly through the capital, and yet—they’d never actually been together? Was this a joke? It seemed unless he showed them what he was truly capable of, people would keep treating him like a sick cat.
I nodded slightly. Everyone was utterly exhausted from the battle against Li Qiankun; no matter how important other matters were, they’d have to wait.
Boss Dai suddenly remembered—both pieces of intelligence had come from the Fengtian and Xinjing stations.
To the Zhang clan’s ancestor, everything Lin Ya had done was clearly a deliberate act of malice.
