Chapter Ninety-Five: Xue Xiaolu

Wang Guyou’s artistic style varies greatly; unlike some masters whose works are instantly recognizable, his paintings defy easy classification.

Ji Yuyan looked crestfallen. Could it be that he was no match for those soap operas, those cheap snacks?

He thought to himself, “Forget it, let her be.” He had wanted to ask if she needed medicine, but he immediately checked his own goodwill, reasoning, “What’s it to me? He ought to dislike her anyway.”

An avalanche, whether it came early or late, would be harmless to Wenliang—except it happened precisely while she was filming. Wasn’t that just too coincidental?

Yu Ji wanted to lift the white rabbit again, but after a moment’s thought, she simply scooped it up and placed it on her lap.

Everyone at Xinggong was long accustomed to the president being a workaholic, often working overtime until one or two in the morning, then rising at six to ride horses and exercise before continuing with state affairs.

“Zinuo, how’s your hand? The exam is in a few days—will you still be able to participate?” Yang Xia was indifferent to their jokes; her concern was genuine for Wu Zinuo’s injury.

The cold deepened, turning her lips pale and making her teeth chatter, yet she felt more alert, even catching sight of her own reflection in the spring water.

“I’m staying for dinner today, so we have a whole day. What shall we do?” Ling Yi turned to look out the window. The sunlight was beautiful, the outdoor pool glistening a brilliant blue.

That this martial art could serve as the clan’s signature technique was a testament to its power. Yet within the Lu family, only direct descendants were privileged to cultivate it.

The fire element pierced through my elemental armor and into my body. Amid the burning sensation, my vitality sharply declined.

“Your partner is former superior Hua Yao, right? You really think that’s good luck?” The deadly strike was unleashed casually.

The man in black stood outside the main hall, tilting his head to survey the surrounding stone walls, lost in deep thought.

“…Uh… You’re right.” The youngest quietly lifted his speech ban and replied, clearly unsure.

Xing Chu and Chu Ming clearly saw a satisfied smile appear on Zhou Heng’s face, his lips twitching slightly, words unspoken but undoubtedly joyful. In less than a moment, a generation’s hero departed forever from the continent he had labored on for thousands of years.

Just as Aqi’er exhaled in relief and relaxed his guard, Qida suddenly appeared like a ghost before him, five fingers piercing through the air and stabbing into his chest.

“Stupid Tian, how are we supposed to fight that archer later? I…” Lin Mengxue tugged at my shirt from behind, unsure of herself.

The person before me had clearly recently experienced intimacy, stirring an uneasy fire burning strangely in my chest.

There was no choice; the Poison Dragon Hunting Group’s leader’s strength far exceeded their capacity. Even across the region, few hunting group leaders matched such power.

“Can you wield the Spear of Judgment?” Imoton, holding An Su’na, glanced at the somewhat dazed Murong Chen.

She had just broken free from that unknown potion, possessing spiritual power but no physical strength.

I looked at Duan Qinghu, and she looked back at me. For a moment, a thousand words were stuck in my throat, finally melting into a simple “Thank you.”

However, I wanted to know why she hated the Murong family so deeply. So later, I would never spare Liu Suya’s spirit either. She was also a blood priestess, and I would preserve her soul stone.

But this bride was not so easy to receive. Just as I arrived at the bridal chamber door, it was slammed shut, and the bridesmaids inside were cheerfully shouting.

I had obviously misjudged—my father was much stronger than me. He didn’t cry, but his expression was grim, his eyes even grimmer. I noticed his eyes reddened, very red. I could imagine his anger boiling over, blood surging, forcing his eyeballs to redden.

Wei Yi first heard the sound of formal greetings, then removed the blindfolded cloth from his eyes. His gaze first settled on Xia Yingxi behind her, then looked at her and returned the salute.

When my father saw me, he gave a slight smile and glanced at the empty chair beside him, signaling me to sit.

Ji Cong’an held Shen Guanguan in front of him, feeling her burning body and flushed cheeks. He kissed her tenderly; Shen Guanguan trembled and couldn’t help but hook her arms around Ji Cong’an’s neck, greedily seeking more.

Shen Guanguan came downstairs, followed closely by Shen Yating. Ji Cong’an’s eyes lit up when he saw her.

“It’s nothing.” Sister Yan frowned. If Dingxiang knew nothing, then who was the mother Shen Guanguan mentioned, the one who could make dumplings?

Shen Rong seemed to understand something. Perhaps Shen Chengyuan married the mother only for appearances, or maybe to gain greater standing at court.

Lu Anning pursed her lips. Something seemed lodged in her throat, choking her voice. She could only nod slightly, signaling her stance.

“I don’t care anymore. Let’s go see—then everything will be clear!” After pondering long, Li Yan gave up trying to understand what was going on, deciding instead to visit Wang Ling and discover the truth.

“Fine. Whatever you want to see, we’ll see it!” Chu Xi held her hand tightly, speaking with affectionate indulgence.

Mo Li noticed the slight change in Su Shan’s expression, took the phone from her hand, and stepped aside to answer the call.

Sato had been clutching a bomb for some unknown time. Just before plunging into the sea, he hurled it toward Lu Anning.

That day, Prince Anjie stayed overnight in the main residence. That night, Wang Huan returned to his room, tossing and turning.

“I want you to be responsible for me…” Murong Sen leapt forward, embracing Xu Yunxi like a koala.

As soon as Lu Anning pushed open the office door, her two “little bundles” ran to her in unison, snuggling into her arms with plaintive expressions.

Since Black HawkI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
