Chapter Eighty-One: Revenge

Lin Peishi spoke for a while, and only then did Ouyang Zhuo and Shu Yiming truly understand that so much had happened when that woman died. No wonder Lin Peishi harbored such deep regret. Back then, Lin Peishi’s mother was insulted and killed, her entire body without a single unharmed spot, nearly all visible skin torn to shreds.

When the assailant broke in, her mother had once tried to hide in the study…

“Losing doesn’t matter, you can always try again. There are plenty more competitions ahead!” Leng Ting, hands in his pockets, looked at the group who weren’t crestfallen over missing the championship and said, “Today’s match showed me the future of glory—your future is filled with infinite possibilities.”

Across the street, an old man, holding a long pipe, treaded through the snow.

“This—” Bai Xie hesitated, but sneaked a glance at Gu Lan. Gu Lan blinked, giving him confidence to answer Yu Silan.

Aunt Mei’s words made Sister Li tremble; she guessed Aunt Mei might be playing mind games. But she feared it would backfire, and Lu Yanfeng would really check the old security footage.

Thus, it’s impossible to dominate the world of cuisine; no single dish can achieve that. As long as you have regular customers, that’s a brand.

At that moment, after the collapse of this rustic town, it just so happened to be near a patch of woods. On the edge of the forest grew tender wild vegetables. Regardless of whether they could be eaten or were poisonous, people rushed over, grabbing handfuls and stuffing them into their mouths—even the carnivorous demon tribe was no exception.

Yet, in his eyes, “not bad” was already a high compliment, though many didn’t realize it.

Two people sat on stones, facing a pile of such rocks. They exchanged smiles, a mutual understanding blossoming between them.

Shu Xiaofeng raised his knife and swiftly cut through the black magic iron chains binding Shu Haisheng’s hands and feet.

When Cold Moon entered her portable space for the second time, the system followed, carrying Lin Baiyu’s divine sense into Cold Moon’s space, undetected by both Cold Moon and the space itself.

“What are you doing? Master asked you to lead the way, but you’re just standing here dawdling. You know as long as Miss Ruyi isn’t rescued, we’re stuck wandering inside this temple. Hurry up and lead the way, or do you want a beating?” Jade Pi’s face was full of anger, frightening Qingqiu into a hasty departure.

When Andy arrived at the hospital with the insulated container, he found his sister in a completely different mental state than before.

De Wang and Li Pu were already preparing breakfast for us. Breakfast consisted of a pot of venison soup. The aroma drifted through the mountain forest, attracting countless birds and predators.

Upon hearing this, Su Jie seemed to have heard a ridiculous joke. She shrugged and smiled, her expression tinged with disdain, though her eyes remained calm as deep water.

Mo Jiuxiao was caught off guard by Luo An’an’s words. He immediately fell silent, but his ears turned red again.

Luo An’an blinked, revealing a pure expression. This made the dragon feel a bad premonition.

Outside the wooden cabin, on the grassy patch, Chunlan was busy cutting vegetables. Chen Yuejing was teaching Herina the secrets of making porridge and stir-frying dishes, guiding her hand by hand. Cai Minzhi squatted by the stone stove, feeding the fire and wiping sweat from her brow.

Yang Sanshi dodged left and right, grabbing a wooden stick by the wall to fend off attacks. Passersby shouted and quickly moved aside, while Lu Youmang swung his big fist at the stick.

As I spoke, I picked up my chopsticks, ready to eat. But when I looked down, the plate was filled with all sorts of insects—cicada pupae, grasshoppers, and some fried so black I couldn’t even name them.

He straightened up, his strong figure stretched tall in the light. He lifted his chin slightly and took a deep breath. His long, well-defined fingers swiped across the phone screen, swiftly deleting the group photo Ling Yuhang had just sent, and also erased Yuhang’s number from her contacts.
