Chapter 131: Do You Have a Crush on My Mother? (Second Update)

“Big Brother, you… aren’t you just indulging in wishful thinking? Even though I’m not in the army, I know that once a person enters a military garrison, they won’t get out without having a layer of skin torn off…”

Xu Changhong said bitterly, “Those constables certainly told the garrison that the men were suspected of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country.

“Unless the few constables from the county office make another trip and say they made a mistake this morning—that those men were merely ordinary petty criminals under the county office’s jurisdiction—there’s still a chance we might get them out…”

I ran all the way downstairs. I thought Jin Yan would come after me. I thought he would certainly catch up and stop me, but he did not. I waited downstairs for a long time, yet I still saw no sign of him. At that moment, my heart was filled with both despair and bitterness.

The Daoist Duobao and the other two also gathered around. After hearing Qiu Ming’s words, they all smiled in relief. How could they not understand what Qiu Ming had said? But they could not leave.

“Andrei should know how to find me. I have already left him a message. If you truly wish to save your friend, have him come looking for me,” the man said with a soft laugh.

Keeping his eyes fixed on Pachi, Gu Yi began to recount the entire origin of the incident in measured detail. Pachi listened quietly at his side. Although he already knew all of it, he still had to put on a semblance of ignorance.

After saying all this, Pachi, who had been sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, suddenly found himself enveloped in a cloud of murky gray smoke. By the time the smoke slowly dispersed, his figure had vanished completely from the room.

Yet when she picked up a glass from the bar and poured herself some orange juice, her gaze continued to shift back and forth between Pachi and Elizabeth.

Tang Ya secretly curled her lip. What a hypocrite—he was clearly mocking her sentence by sentence, yet he made it all sound so righteous and dignified.

“What did you say?” Zhang Taibai’s voice turned cold once more. “After the last successful Embrace? In other words, you still made her your descendant? Very well. It seems you took my warning for nothing more than hot air…”

The final words nearly burst from between Zhang Taibai’s clenched teeth.

He lay down for a while, then listened carefully. The outside was very quiet; it seemed the prop had not damaged anything this time.

When he finally entered the main hall and saw the King of Chu, his hand began trembling again despite himself.

As he spoke, Tali’en raised his head and let out a long wolf howl. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a gigantic wolf seven meters tall. His blood-red eyes glared at Mark and the others, and then, with another howl, he pounced at them, his momentum terrifying.

Although Ivan could not see any difference between the Jellyfish Princess and the other Deep-Sea Princesses, the Jellyfish Princess herself seemed rather dissatisfied with her current body.

He Ning Frost was indeed extraordinarily skilled, especially when it came to Luban locks. Previously, she had only needed to look at one once; even if its pieces were scrambled and dismantled at random, she could still restore it exactly as it had been.

“No, no, I only just came downstairs too,” Enji said with a smile, waving her hand. In truth, she had been waiting for quite some time.

“Work hard to skip grades and begin your MBA early.” Quite a bit of time had passed. Though Phil had entered Eton only a year before Alice, she was already a woman in her early twenties. Skipping her senior year and taking the entrance examination for a Master of Business Administration was hardly difficult for her.

He made both free throws, but Shi Lei’s anger did not subside. When the Magic missed their outside shot and Howard seized the rebound, preparing for a put-back, Shi Lei stopped him with a vicious chopping strike of his hand.

Only then did Shang Tiantang reveal a fairly satisfied expression and agree to let the Black and White Impermanence take him to the Yama Hall to meet the Yama King.

“Senior Brother, are the teleportation arrays in the next several cities all located in the city lords’ residences?” Lin Yunheng continued asking.

Still, for anyone capable of foreseeing the future through rebirth, no one would be willing to watch matters slip beyond control. Though the incident was not particularly serious, it was certainly unpleasant for Alice.
