Chapter 97: The Heartache of Parenthood (Second Update)

Yang Yuan took a gentle breath and asked again, “Director Feng said he would stand up for Afu’s sister. What exactly does that mean?”

Lady Miao sighed and replied, “To be honest, those men did harass Afu’s sister, but… they didn’t do anything truly outrageous. They were just crude with their words and, in the chaos… took the opportunity to touch her hand a few times.

For such a young girl, though, she’d never experienced anything like that. We never imagined that, after she returned home…

But thanks to Zhou Yuxiang’s connections in the entertainment circle, she managed to sign quite a few artists during this period.

Fortunately, Xia Qingchan had just reminded Su Ming on the phone, telling him it was in the area of Garden Road. With that clue, Su Ming had a general sense of direction and sped off in his car.

At this moment, Lilian had already seen through the situation. The King was indeed dead, and this voice was nothing but its lingering soul, unwilling to depart.

A strange moon shadow finished its strange task, and a bizarre scene unfolded. The ninth door at the top of the tower swung open naturally, the formation vanished, and Yue Xiyun’s group hurried inside.

Thinking this was the end, Su Ming closed his eyes. On the surface, they were worlds apart in cultivation, not to mention the gap between realms. Each step up in the Heavenly Tribulation stage was a chasm impossible to bridge.

When Lord Yuan awoke, three days had passed. He looked around: it was a modest room, containing only a bed, a table, and a chair.

Five waves of attack were his strongest offensive, but Shui Yingyue could easily dismantle them. What reason did he have to continue?

The representative of the Dazzling Charm Dance Club actually dared utter such boastful words. The deputy minister of the Saber-Tooth Tiger Club thought to himself that he had overestimated the Dazzling Charm Club; destroying them would be a feat easily within his grasp.

So Liu Fang didn’t dwell on the matter, simply assuming Su Ming had spent the night with Xia Qingchan.

You Ran gritted her teeth—if a fight was necessary, so be it! Without a decisive battle, how could the Beggar Sect establish their standing and prestige in Ye City?

Upon hearing that Shadowless had been locked in the dungeon by Shao Tingfeng, Good Future, who was in Nanjing for a meeting, ignored all obstacles and rushed overnight to Tumen.

Hopkins removed a rose from his chest—a flower from the Demon Palace—and, after inhaling its scent, smiled and continued, “With me on your side, your chances of victory will be much higher.”

The room suddenly became lively. Mrs. Li glanced at Wen Xin without saying a word, maintaining her aloof demeanor.

Ashilong slowly approached the bed, looking over the photos one by one from above. Yet after a long search, he did not see Wang Ying’s photo. Strangely, all the pictures were simple portraits and sketches of Xiao Yulan—there wasn’t a single photo of a man.

This outfit was far too conspicuous; entering the Salt Guild dressed like this would draw unwanted attention and risk exposure. It would be better to change into something more modest and commonplace, making it easier to blend in and carry out his plans.

Wen Xin was not one to act recklessly out of kindness. If Zhao Baolai truly proved unfit, she would not risk her child and her own safety.

Yet, unexpectedly, that very night Lady Nian’s fever would not break, and lanterns burned in the courtyard all through the night.

“Enough! What have you done to my mother?” Lilith darted forward and seized the lead cat-woman by the throat. Instantly, the surrounding cat-women drew their longswords, and the monster women on the city wall behind them unleashed their magic and weapons, all aiming squarely at Lu Wang and his group.

This time Master personally took action; it seemed the matter was nearing its conclusion. Did that mean her bond with Li Chenying was also drawing to an end?

From the moment Yuan Chun was born on New Year’s Day, they had poured all their efforts into grooming her, hoping she would be selected to enter the palace, fight for her place, and one day bring glory to her family.
