Chapter 70: His Woman Became His Aunt?
Before her stood a noblewoman in her forties, whose attire and manner exuded an unmistakable aura of refinement and privilege. Her natural elegance drew the eyes of all around her.
“Caixia, matters of the heart are best left to the young. As elders, we shouldn’t interfere too much. After all, if Feng Su were to take offense, the consequences would be dire.”
“I am merely offering Miss Li some well-meant advice. However Miss Li chooses to proceed is entirely her own affair.”
“Let us hope that is the case.”
Even outside the palace, the attendants and servants assigned to each mistress were fixed by decree; they could not simply be replaced. At most, she could invent some reason to stay with Consort Xian, Fu Mengli, who was also carrying the imperial heir, and make use of her servants and retainers instead.
Only activities like brawling, those that brought some cathartic release, occasionally yielded a little unexpected reward.
When Luo Qingcheng was still alive, she and her daughter seldom ate meat. Only on Ye Lingtian’s birthday would Luo Qingcheng buy a piece of meat and a fish, preparing a sumptuous meal with an extra set of chopsticks and bowl at the table.
Though the words were veiled, Su An could not possibly mistake their meaning—this was no different from brazenly taking something by force.
Soloto arranged for Evil Eye and Arisa to rest in the city lord’s mansion. Arisa’s current role was that of Evil Eye’s teacher, so she said little, merely exchanging a glance with Yuan Kong before following the attendant away.
“I beg you, the child is innocent. I am willing to offer my own life in exchange.” Oda Momiji did not truly understand the man before her, but she had no choice but to stake everything on this gamble. She had been in this room for fifteen minutes already; the GOC agents could be on their way at this very moment.
Closing his eyes, he conjured an image of the entire training room in his mind, then took a few steps forward, crouched naturally, picked up the bottle of water from the hardwood floor, twisted the cap off, and gulped it down.
The combined fan count of over fifty people on social media easily surpassed the population of Earth.
Chu Chaoyan suddenly sensed she was being watched. Pretending to touch up her makeup, she used the mirror in her compact to check behind her. Though she saw nothing unusual, she did not believe her intuition was baseless.
Moreover, with Su An’s connection at play, there was really no other choice for them but Lin Manyi.
Sister Fang was taking a boat for the first time, a blend of excitement and fear in her expression. She gripped Lin Zhixiao’s outstretched hand tightly, following his instructions to step on with one leg first, pausing to adjust before bringing the other leg aboard.
If, at the end of any timeline, this outcome was inevitable, I would still do my utmost to ensure it came to pass. It is, perhaps, the only thing I can do for those who perished during the flight.
He took his laptop from his backpack, plugged in the wireless card, logged into QQ, and, seeing his father online, immediately sent a message asking for four trucks to be dispatched at once to transport sand and gravel to Yuyu Village.
He could now detect demonic auras with precision, making him highly sensitive to any such presence within the group. After advancing less than thirty miles, he once again sensed a demonic aura nearby.
Although the Chen family was one of the top ten in Ancient Tree City, they truly lacked any strong cultivator in the late Sovereign Realm. Therefore, not a single one of them, not even those from the city lord’s mansion, could stand against Yang Qi.
At this moment, Azure Dragon’s assault was a pure physical attack, effectively circumventing the Divine Sword’s restraints and forcing Hua Aoyue to rely solely on her true strength—there was no room for trickery.
An Yiyi was not lacking in funds, nor was she inclined to share her own gains. However, if she wanted to enjoy this prize in comfort, she would have to yield a portion to the collaborator capable of clearing all obstacles for her. After much deliberation, she decided on Yue Qianfeng, young master of Qianfeng Group.
