Chapter 28 (Combined Bonus Chapter)

That day, witnessing Lu Chengyu with another man in the restroom struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her utterly devastated inside and out.

At that moment, Hu Xue nearly lost her life trying to prevent Cheng Xuanfeng from harming Ye Lingyuan, who was suffering from a toxic condition.

Suddenly, a rather aged voice echoed from afar, and before the sound fully reached them, an elderly man with a white beard appeared among the crowd.

“Wah wah wah... he pulled out so much of my hair, slapped me, and even made my mouth bleed. Wah wah wah...” Wei Hanyou felt utterly wronged and on the verge of tears.

However, Xu Jie did not intend to address her confusion and instead pounced forward, her nimble body moving with the agility of a leopard, her once neatly trimmed nails now menacingly exposed.

Taking a deep breath, she strode over, opened the car door, climbed in, and slammed the door shut with a resounding bang.

Having been soaked in seawater and battered by the night wind, Chen Qingyu, physically weak, developed a high fever by midnight.

She would be no help to Chuanzi’s career; in fact, she would only become a burden, hindering his future development.

Yet Zhang Minxi felt no relief; instead, she grew increasingly convinced that Xu Zhizhi’s stubborn, wooden-headed nature was unyielding. Suddenly, she grabbed her sword, stood up with a fierce gait, and strode away with arms outstretched.

Chu Tianshu and Du Yufei simultaneously set down their chopsticks, listening attentively to Huang Gu’s eloquent discourse, nodding repeatedly.

Zhang Yi was a reclusive and eccentric character. In reality, he had no close friends, let alone kindred spirits of the opposite sex.

The disciples fled in terror. Liehuo’s tone was no joke, and none wished to be punished, so everyone kept their distance from the source of trouble.

Shuning saw a few maids peeking around outside, hurried over to shoo them away, then instructed Fangning’s personal maid to guard the door before closing it and returning inside.

So, when Chu Tianshu handed the meeting materials to Yan Zhiyong in a subordinate’s manner, Yan Zhiyong’s vanity was greatly satisfied, and he responded with enthusiasm. Although he was clueless about the demolition work, he took great pleasure in discussing ideological matters.

“Is that so? Everyone’s curious about your true self. Why don’t you show me?” Lin Dong asked with a smile.

Tong Ying laughed, “Though the lotus is fragrant, it can become cloying after a while. I prefer the scent of jasmine—subtle and elegant. You must be close to appreciate its charm. I was planning to place some in the bedroom tonight...” Suddenly, he paused and fell silent.

On the way home, while pondering whether to contact the National Bureau, he spotted several nonconformists with dyed hair sneaking around his doorstep.

But Lin Chaonan was Lin Chaonan; his successive attacks left Lin Dong in a sorry state. Each explosion sent Lin Dong flying. Fortunately, Lin Dong’s defense was strong; otherwise, he might not have withstood it.

“Leader Golan, you are too kind,” Ye Tao quickly assisted. Though he knew the old man’s strength was formidable, he realized it was impossible to stop him from bowing by sheer force alone.

It was a cliché tale: a man with money indulged in debauchery and affairs, while Lin Shengnan’s mother endured in silence, refusing to divorce.

I grasped Lele’s hand tightly, then suddenly lowered my head and kissed her soft lips. I held her with abandon, kissing her fiercely, forgetting the world around us.

Our school often conducted surprise dormitory inspections after lights out. Staying out overnight without permission resulted in demerits. Naturally, the Student Council’s disciplinary committee bore this arduous task. For those living off-campus, joining this committee was a good choice.

“The wound hurts badly; I just managed to sleep. The doctor said the bone was injured and needs proper rest,” Lin Meifeng sighed.

This family was not well-off. Their village had only one well, and during droughts, the entire village depended on it. Daily water use was therefore limited.

“But you just arrived today; I must host a welcome dinner,” Jerry insisted stubbornly while holding the phone.

At that moment, the discordant voice echoed again in my mind: “It’s still Lele! Why can’t you ever forget her?” Good heavens! Am I going insane? I pounded my head hard in frustration.

Some beast folk were arrogant, but most were extremely insecure or, due to an inability to evolve, had twisted souls—gloomy temperaments or violent tempers.

Suddenly, the alarm blared throughout Reston Fortress. As they entered the command center, soldiers poured into every building.

Comforting Tang Bingyu, Zhou Zekai found her intensely curious and inquisitive gaze utterly adorable. Though she dressed maturely and seductively, those eyes alone could make many men’s hearts race.

Yu Haoyang and two others had no mind to admire the scenery outside. This was their first real mission to infiltrate the alien core as spies to investigate the palace. Despite cramming the alien language for days, they were unsure if communication would flow as smoothly as with Earthlings.

“I thought you’d thank me,” the marshal said, clearly unwilling to discuss status with a man who seemed almost supernatural.

But why did Fenghua smile so warmly while Young Master Lan grew angry? Was there something wrong with his words?

“My apologies for making you both come all this way in vain,” the servant bowed deeply, full of regret.

“I... I... um...” Alright, what I wanted to say was, I didn’t know how to feed her. But after hearing her say that if I didn’t feed her soon she’d be lost, I got so nervous my hands and feet lost control, and I couldn’t even speak clearly.

Even though they were alchemists capable of creating life and death, many still watched helplessly as people perished.

Ye Zhen glanced back at Xuanyuan Mo as he walked away without turning or pausing. Her heart chilled slightly. She held her gaze steady, but the light in her eyes dimmed inch by inch.

According to long-standing observations, Fenghua’s character was such that once she set her course, she would move straight ahead without hesitation, even if it led to a cliff.
