Chapter 61: I Never Expected That Woman to Be You

"Mom, you’ve gone too far."
Feng Su let out a furious roar.
Mrs. Feng’s expression shifted; she steadied herself, her attention fixed on Li Jiuwei.
"I always knew my son had a woman outside, but I never imagined that woman would be you!
Such a scandal has erupted today—she must give us an explanation."
"She doesn’t need to explain herself to anyone, not even you," Feng Su blocked his mother’s path.
His—
Li Zixiao knew he shouldn’t treat Zhuge Qianxue this way, after all, she was a lady of good upbringing, and her current composure was already remarkable.
The old madam glanced at Lin, whose face was full of misery and sorrow, then at the second master, who seethed with anger. She sighed helplessly. Fortunately, the couple stood united, firm in their determination. So, granting their wish, she ordered someone to invite Ye Zhen to the Fragrant Pavilion for questioning.
He had a feeling that the visions appearing in his mind were closely connected to him—could it be a form of premonition?
Everything in the world operates in cycles, inching forward with time; only by staying alive can one witness it all. In the arena of reincarnation, no one is guilty, everyone wants to live well—some seek company, some walk alone, some want to live, some wish to die, all sorts of things happen. So why give up? If there’s still time, nothing else matters.
Stepping out of campus, Cen Kexin took a deep breath. Some people, even if you try not to think of them, remain in your thoughts.
Ye Yiyi, trembling, picked up a bottle of liquor, intending to help Shen Yang, but before she could reach the bodyguard, she was slapped to the ground and lost consciousness.
Wang Rumeng vomited all the alcohol she had consumed; with nothing but liquor in her stomach, she emptied it onto the ground. The cold breeze on her face cleared her mind considerably.
As soon as he arrived, Bing Qirui sensed something extraordinary, hard to believe—in this modern era, such a closed city still existed. As Bing Qirui described it, this was a fortress with a highly militarized administration; even the air was thick with the scent of soldiers.
Seeing Jiang Yiwei in such a state, Ai Lu couldn’t help but recall his own past—just as pitiful. He had feelings for Jiang Yiwei; did that mean his place in Ai Lu’s heart never changed?
Yang Haoxuan narrowed his eyes tightly, his hands caressing the strange flowers along the roadside as they changed shape.
Because of her impoverished background and a father like that, many believed Bai Qianqian was not an asset to the Li family, but a burden—draining their wealth and resources, dragging down their reputation.
Jiang Yuzhi sighed softly, "Silly girl, your imagination is too wild. I wonder what you’re always thinking about." As he spoke, he gently pinched Yi Aijia’s cheek.
Seeing Lei Xingyu remain silent, Feng Ruo continued, "Baby, I know what you’re afraid of. What I need to tell you is, after you consume my blood, not only will you feel no pain, but you’ll also be incredibly exhilarated."
"I’m not making things up—the Regent is handsome, so handsome. Fu Xuan is especially good-looking," Gu Yanzhi vented angrily.
An hour later, Yu Shi, satisfied and full, did not return to the cave to continue cultivating. He sensed that breaking through the barrier before the ninth level of the Celestial Grade required more than hard work; only by finding some opportunity could he advance further.
She had come across this medicine recipe in Loulan by chance—it cures all poisons. Before, she had eaten Consort Feng’s pastries, and Gu Yanzhi, seasoned in intrigue, had detected the scent of poison as she approached. Yet she maintained a calm face and swallowed it, later using an antidote pill to neutralize the poison.
"Yanran! There were other people here just a moment ago!" Old Li smiled in confusion as he turned to Ouyang Yanran.
Not long after, Qin Yin arrived before the tower. He looked up and found its upper reaches hidden in the clouds, so tall that its true height was impossible to discern.
