Chapter 137: You Are Lying (Second Update)

Zhao Cheng said somewhat nervously, “I... I probably chopped wood for about fifteen minutes. This is the woodshed, and the kitchen needs firewood for cooking, so people come here often.

“While I was chopping, I saw Wei Yang and Ding Yi come by to fetch firewood.

“Only... after I finished chopping, I went to comfort Meiniang. She was in a very bad mood because Steward He had reprimanded her today...”

But whenever anyone came for firewood, they took it and left.

“The winner is Lianyu!” Having heard those words spoken by the man himself, the referee announced them in a completely emotionless voice.

“No... this is just too hilarious!” Chen Guo could no longer remain lying down. She forced herself to sit up, clutching her chest as she nearly laughed herself breathless.

Amid the howling wind, an indifferent whisper drifted through the air. Then a callused palm slowly extended and, in an utterly unremarkable manner, pressed directly against Xue Zhan’s chest.

Xia Minghan could not understand it. Who had the ability to invite Chang Wan all the way to Linhai?

“Hmph! Fine, I can let you off, but you... Huh? Shangguan Liuming? You’re that Shangguan Liuming, aren’t you? I know you!” the mahjong fanatic suddenly shouted when she spotted an extraordinary ID in the team roster.

The army of nearly thirty thousand White-Robed Blood Droplets knew that tonight would be anything but peaceful. At the commander’s order, countless flying lotuses erupted across the sky and earth, their blinding radiance linking heaven and their tremendous, oceanlike pressure roaring toward Ye Ziyang.

Elder Niu had already reported Xu Fan’s matter, and the Valley of the Pill God had sent back a reply. Someone would likely arrive within the next few days to take Song Ling’er and Xu Fan away.

Well, although so much had been said, nothing was really different for Lian in the present circumstances. After all, with his current dragon transformation, he no longer had the time to fight that old man. That was all Lian was thinking about for now.

It seemed that his mother had not relented out of momentary softness. Rather, she had simply lacked confidence from the beginning, afraid that if she overreached, she would end up dragging herself into the mess as well.

Lin Xingchen’s silver tongue carried him deeper step by step as he tried to uncover the past of Stone Village. What exactly had happened twenty years ago? What truth remained unknown to him?

But the vicious Black Pupil suddenly thrust the tentacles growing from its body toward Bach’s brain. Clearly, Black Pupil intended to control him. Xiao Feng saw everything. The moment Black Pupil’s tentacles attacked, Xiao Feng moved as well, sending a bolt of electricity into Black Pupil and electrocuting both Black Pupil and Bach.

Even so, his mental strength was formidable. Though underwater, he could still sense what was happening outside.

The exhaustion and weariness immediately came crashing down one after another. She felt that this time she had not merely been trampled by an elephant, but kicked flying by one and then slammed into a tank. Every part of her ached, and every part of her was exhausted. She truly wondered whether someone had shattered all her bones.

That strike just now had been ferocious—so ferocious that it had cleaved the iron sword that had accompanied Ling Haifeng for many years into pieces.

Those words made Chunxiang blush again. She wrapped up the remaining spring rolls and had her take them home, saying that her mother had fried too many that day and that the two children could bring them back to eat slowly.

Xiao Feng and Qin Tian, both professional hunters, followed the faint traces around them and conducted a careful investigation. As expected, Xiao Feng detected the scent of other humans. His sense of smell was extraordinarily keen, and he could already distinguish it from the odor of beasts. Following that scent, Xiao Feng pursued it onward.

“Mo Mo, there are some things I’ve already made up my mind about.” When Yu Hongcheng had made that decision, he had known that Yu Qingmo would oppose it—and oppose it to the very end.

They had once had a child, and they had lost that child as well. The doctor said that Yu Qingmo would never be able to have children again. That car accident had robbed her of the right to become a mother.
