Chapter 36: Clothes

Xiaoxiao went to the next room to fetch the braised eggs, though not without a hint of reluctance.

The two medium-sized basins combined were still smaller than the one Zhao Xiufen held. Seeing them behave so obediently, Zhao Xiufen felt immensely satisfied.

After Zhuola delegated the task of explaining to Wang Lan, Wang Lan waited for Evelyn to calm down before she began to offer an explanation.

The next day, Ke Yiyao arrived at school in high spirits. She truly loved this place; seeing so many classmates around made her feel that she was not alone.

Moreover, those sword techniques required careful contemplation. Watching them alone would at best allow one to mimic their superficial form, while the true essence remained out of reach.

They had to remember that their enemies were not merely these void wraiths; the necromancers who had suddenly vanished and the hidden troops that had yet to appear were their greatest threats.

Inside the city, covered by a semi-spherical hexagonal barrier, lay a landscape of lush green hills and clear waters, standing in stark contrast to the vast, snow-white world outside. The swirling blizzard and the bone-chilling cold, which would have frozen any ordinary creature to death, seemed unable to penetrate the city in the slightest.

Yet, for some reason, after encountering Ishige in such a despondent state, Lu Wang, who had been prepared to sacrifice his own life just to let her vent, received nothing but a soft "thank you" from her.

"I need to see Warden Lei. It’s a matter of great importance." President Gao’s voice was equally indifferent, yet his tone was grave.

Most boys did not believe in such things, nor did they engage in them, but now, Xi Siyan slowly closed his eyes, his fists pressed against his chin.

The force of the blow pierced through Lu Wang’s body and struck the protective barrier of the arena, creating ripples. A violent gust of wind kicked up a cloud of dust, staining Lu Wang’s white robes.

"I..." Mo Wanyan hesitated, wondering whether she should speak her mind and reveal the truth of her pregnancy. But as a faint, delicate fragrance drifted to her nose, she swallowed the words she had been about to utter.

Although Jimo Hanye had not made things difficult for the client in their previous life, he had been an accomplice. This could be considered his punishment; if Jimo Hanye managed to survive, Ye Qingqing would pursue the matter no further.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shi hurriedly took a sweet potato from his bag and handed it to him. "Here, take this." He had packed quite a bit of food this time, enough to last them the few days on the train.

Nangong Li simply let him do as he pleased. As time slipped by and she began to collapse into his arms, the man suddenly ceased his movements, the pressure of his hands easing significantly.

But why did Mei Anxue seem so desperate to be with Aoli Tian? If Ye Qingqing had not appeared, Mei Anxue would have been the most powerful person in the entire post-apocalyptic world.

"Hmph, Song Yuan, you actually have the nerve to come back?" He Jue turned around, sneering with palpable disgust.

Gu Xintong shook her head. Even if this wedding had lost its original meaning, as Jin Chendong's wife, she had a duty to share the burden of greeting the guests with him.

"If she weren't doing well, she would have returned long ago. The fact that she is still reluctant to come back only shows that she enjoys her current life. Perhaps, perhaps she finds her current life more fulfilling than being the Ninth Princess." The Empress could roughly empathize with Jun Chujing’s feelings.

That entire bag of roasted chestnuts had been bought by him for her, and she had only traded him five in return. She was truly more than a little stingy. Xia Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

Having spent these past few years together, she had come to view Jin Jiali entirely as her own sister. Mr. Su loved her sister so much; she would surely be happy, right?

However, many in the Pill Domain knew that Elder Dizang was known for his clear-cut rewards and punishments, and he was anything but gentle when training his students.
