087, shipping the couple

Bicheng Garden was already in a good district, with all kinds of facilities and amenities nearby.

There was a large supermarket a little over three hundred meters from the residential complex.

The weather in October already carried a hint of chill, and the two of them strolled along as though out for a walk, chatting idly while they took their time on the way to the supermarket.

Lin Mi turned a key pouch over in her hands, listening to Wei Xun talk about various recent matters at his company, and her gaze could not help but drift to his tall and upright figure.

She had always...

At that moment, within the castle, in a room at the very top, a lonely, cold silhouette stood by the window, looking out at the world beyond.

Su Wei did not quite understand. She was not very well off, but she had her mother and was neither ill nor in pain; at the very least, her life was smoother than his. So she was willing to use what little strength she had to help him.

“Gone?” Han Ming and Wei Ya both paused in their steps. They strained to listen, and indeed the sounds of pounding on the door and shouting had vanished without a trace.

My son, Su Yintiger, has been to the battlefield, earned military merit, and has also won His Majesty’s favor and praise for his deployments and formations. The fact that he can command two hundred thousand troops for His Majesty today was all won through blood and steel in battle.

Her heart had been wholly devoted to the great cause of the kingdom and the people. Though there had been selfish motives mixed in, her loyalty to this land and its people was real and true. It was a fact that she had once stolen a defensive deployment map and been found guilty; even if she had taken the blame herself, it would have been only right. But now, when she had done nothing wrong, why should she be forced into this heavy yoke? Where was justice in heaven and earth?

The room was eerily quiet, the only sounds the occasional voices of waiters conversing in the courtyard.

For a moment, Magistrate Zhang was at a loss for words. The instant he heard of the matter, he had denounced Night Snow in a memorial to the throne. He did not know the details, but in his view, Night Snow had plainly done wrong by killing more than a hundred people in this manner.

“A master is always lonely. Since fate has brought us together today, I wonder whether the princess has time to grant me a few pointers?” Su Yintiger turned and walked to the front of Night Snow, gazing into her eyes with a smile.

Li Kang’s words surprised Wang Li somewhat. She had not expected him to say something like that, as if the one standing before her were not a child at all, but someone her own age.

Yet at his feet there knelt a child, no more than eleven or twelve years old. His face was pressed to the ground, too afraid to look up even once. On closer inspection, his legs were trembling beneath his robes.

In the second stage, the remaining fifty-six people were all sent into the octagonal tower in Crescent Lake.

The bald man’s arrival gave the other three a backbone. They repeated Lin Sen’s words to him, and the bald man immediately began cursing.

She walked over to Wan Xianshan’s side. The man was still boasting at the top of his lungs to the people around him, while Old Gu, carrying heavy bags and luggage, was drenched in sweat, running errands like some abject servant.

Li Zheng seemed to see through her thoughts. He took the menu and pointed at it with his long fingers.

When the first vicious hound suddenly lunged at him, Li Wei easily sidestepped it, brought his blade down in one swift motion, and cleanly slit its throat. Blood burst forth in a spray.

Fortunately, although that man had struck with the resolve to kill Shen Muchuan, Xi Yunzhi had evaded the vital point. The wound was not too severe, though it was very likely to leave a scar.

What was there about some immortal cave up ahead, where an immortal had once stayed for several months; or the Snake King Cave, where an old snake catcher searched for the Snake King and, in order to save his son, tried to take its gall, only to be pierced through the heart by ten thousand snakes; or the tree demon who became a spirit and sought vengeance, the river monster who repaid a favor, and so on and so forth. The tourists listening were exclaiming again and again, instantly forgetting about the matter of the ashes jar from before.

“My name is Jade-Faced Flying Dragon. I can do somersaults. Watch closely.” With that, he began flipping somersaults on the spot, one after another, as if he would never tire.

Windlight asked Mu Ziyan why she was able to go to the demon realm. She was not a cultivator of demons, and there was not the slightest trace of demonic energy within her.

“We are willing to die for the general” was an impeccable reply. The soldiers answered in unison to repay Ding Feng for his long years of care and concern for them.

These monks could also be said to have been frightened senseless by Zhu Jun. In one fell swoop, they had actually placed the incarnations of the Three Great Deities upon the body of the Emperor of Great Ming; one could not help but say their intentions were deeply thoughtful.
