Chapter 59: The Challenge of Soothing a Child (Second Update)

Yun Shuang had no time to worry about Jiang Xiao. Seeing Yun Yi’s eyes brimming with tears, she quickly stroked her little head and said with a gentle laugh, “What’s wrong? Mother is only leaving for a little while to take care of something…”

“I heard from Brother A’Niu that bad people came to the village, and those bad people… they killed Sister Pei’er!” Yun Yi sobbed, her voice trembling. “I’m scared! What if Mother meets bad people too?”

At that moment, Sister Hua hurried out, flustered and helpless.

…Fuyun Nuan glanced at Yu Pianpian. In truth, wasn’t your master just as unreliable?

Jing Moxuan unhurriedly unwrapped the package and set the dress at the edge of the bed. Without asking Han Shui’er’s consent, he simply reached for the buttons at her collar.

Facing the door, Chai Rong saw that it was Han Yafen. Embarrassed, he gave Wang Peng a nudge with his foot and jerked his chin toward the doorway.

“There’s no need for pretense. The day your sword pierced my chest, everything between us ended!” Zhan Tian, furious, charged at him again. Two swords clashed between them, grinding out a shrill, grating sound.

Wang the Blind and Yang Fan’s worries were, in fact, unnecessary, for who else could be secretly helping Liuhuo but Vermilion Bird?

“Bastard!” The disciples of the Floating Dust Sect all had reddened eyes. Today, their bodies would lie here—if they could win even a moment for their sect master, it would be worth it.

As everyone began to move, the Iron Blood Gang, led by the Rascal, came hurtling toward coordinate 2349. The terrain was treacherous, nestled beneath sheer stone cliffs, surrounded by endless vines and towering ancient trees.

In any case, a fierce battle was inevitable in the end. Why not be lazy now—there would be plenty of work later. This was Yu Daqinshou’s reasoning.

“So what fragrance are you selling now?” Guoqing asked anxiously when the shop assistant suddenly paused.

Meanwhile, Half-Tael Gold and Liuhuo had secretly struck a deal, and in recent years began to consolidate all the grain merchants in the State of Chu. Half-Tael Gold’s terrifying business acumen ran rampant; first, emissaries were sent to quietly establish ties with the major grain suppliers in every province, selecting a cooperative few for support, while ruthlessly suppressing dissenters.

Moreover, upon reflection, her words did have some logic. She was powerful, yes, but ultimately still a zombie. Don’t all zombies prefer to be active at night and rest during the day?

They paid no attention to the changing weather, simply following the laws of nature: retreating to rest when the rain poured, emerging to hunt when the sky cleared.

Luo Hongyan’s thoughts were simple: as long as she wasn’t the one wanting to kill her senior brother, she wouldn’t intervene, and if she didn’t intervene, she wouldn’t get hurt.

“No need. Stay and cultivate well in Luoyu Sect. From now on, Gangluo City will belong to the Qin family,” Chu Mu said, gazing at the pitiful Qin Meng’er.

Both parties believed themselves to be in the right, and their leaders were hot-tempered. Thus, arguments quickly escalated into shouting matches and then into open insults.

These two had only the martial aura of ordinary Transformational Grandmasters, still a long way from true power.

Though he’d long known about the existence of such desires, and that they were not uncommon in the City of Fallen Solitude, when his brother-in-law spoke to him at such length—and even made advances—he was left utterly bewildered.

“Could the plot have shifted again?” Watching the departing Law Enforcement Hall members, Si Youwei narrowed her phoenix eyes.

After hearing this story, Li Yimu felt that Liu Zhao’s impromptu serenade, “My Friend Wang Chengang,” during the post-show interview, was perfectly fitting.

Chen Shangwu took a cold shower to wash away his exhaustion. He changed into fresh clothes and headed to the reception room on the third floor.

And not just here—the exquisite design of Wu Dai Hermitage lost much of its original charm after being relocated to the Tihu family’s estate; many of the details were subtly altered.
