Chapter 137: Authority

Lin Yu felt the same as last time.

After absorbing the toxins from Su Tianteng’s body, the jade pendant once again transformed them into energy and transmitted it into him.

Perhaps because the toxins from the previous occasion had accumulated over many years but contained relatively little energy, Lin Yu had felt no significant change when they were converted within his body.

This time, however, it was completely different.

......

The moment Lily finished speaking, a very tall, Western-looking man pushed open the door and poked half his body inside.

It was clearly a call from his mother. He did not want to answer, but he had already ignored one of her calls the previous night.

The photograph sold for an astonishingly high price, easing Di Nanke’s once-dire financial situation.

Liuguang’s body jolted violently. He turned his gaze toward Qiangwei and stared at her nervously. Whether intentionally or not, he had once again stirred the wound in Qiangwei’s heart.

Barrett handed her a pregnancy test. Gu Yanfei hid in the bathroom, and thinking of the two men in the living room, she felt an urge to flush herself down the toilet.

“Hmph, putting on an act. What work could she possibly have to do?” Bo Jingjing glanced in that direction and remarked sarcastically.

When Han Chong saw the scene before him, his brows actually rose with delight, as though he had been waiting for precisely this to happen. The Imperial Guards, originally numbering only a few hundred, suddenly swelled to several thousand. In the blink of an eye, the once quiet and peaceful Murong residence became an endless hell.

Shunping muttered and grumbled for a long while, describing Feng Junyang’s condition as utterly miserable.

His desire remained within her, hot and unyielding, while his lips and tongue lingered over her face, tender and attentive. In that moment, he gave her everything—strength and gentleness, desire and love. Indeed, he wished he could have her reach into his chest and hold his heart in her hand.

Even though those complaints no longer mattered to me, recalling them still left me disappointed, and my heart ached inexplicably.

Xue Miao chatted intermittently with Mo Ting in the hospital room. She did not get up to leave until Mo Lan arrived.

Li Ronghua narrowed her eyes in thought. What had happened in the Li household during these two years in her previous life? It seemed that, apart from her uncle—the head of the Li family—being promoted from a fifth-rank Assistant Minister of Rites to a fourth-rank Vice Minister of Rites, nothing else had happened.

“What could possibly matter more than leaving this place? I remember everything you said. But can’t you let us leave first? I really don’t want to stay here. This is an ominous place, and we shouldn’t linger.”

Jiesheng felt the same way. Nevertheless, no matter what, they could not expose Wuxiang’s true nature so easily. At the very least, Jiesheng and Wuxiang were currently on the same side, united in a common alliance. If they broke apart too soon, it would only cause the Six Realms to fall into a disadvantage prematurely.

“They’re obviously the ones in the wrong. If everyone indulges a tyrant like that, won’t this cloth shop descend into chaos?” Xia Ye said indignantly, only to pull at the wound on his face and grimace in pain.

“Don’t be angry, Weiwei. Don’t get upset. If you lose your temper, you’re the one who loses!” Sister Zhou hurriedly patted my back when she saw that I was so furious I could barely breathe.

When Yan Xi spotted a watch she liked, she insisted on dragging Lin Hao over to look at it, while Yan Siqi took Lan Yuyuan around the store.

Memories truly were a heart-rending thing. You could feel the already fragile shell surrounding your heart cracking apart, little by little.

She looked at Rui Rui, who had remained unusually quiet beside her, and felt that the child was somewhat different from ordinary children.

“At ease.” With his legs spread and his arms folded across his chest, the internal guard stood at attention and ignored the man, leaving the soldier trembling so badly that he could not even work the bolt of his rifle.

Chen Qi knew exactly where the gap between himself and Gu Chensha lay. He was not as arrogant as Qin Guang, and that was his advantage.
