Love at First Sight Chapter 113 Love at First Sight
Wen Yueqing and Tong’er were talking in the room when Liu Yi came to the door to pass on a message.
“Your Highness asks Miss Wen to come over,” he called from outside, a little uneasy, unsure whether Her Highness would become angry.
“Fine, I’m coming right now,” Wen Yueqing shouted from inside, having just finished combing her hair.
After speaking, she turned to Tong’er; Tong’er nodded in understanding and hurried to pull a new outfit from the wardrobe.
Wen Yueqing sat at the table and fixed a single Buyao hairpin in her hair, wanting to dress more plain and elegant today.
...
“It can be here, in the dark forest. Go a bit farther in; outside won’t do,” Fang Li replied, tugging at the grilled meat without a care, answering Sally.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. In those three days, Qin Yue and Blood-Eye also began to straighten out the army, and Lin Ying, having no other work, practiced combat with Wang Meng and Li Chang to steady her cultivation.
“Tong Guan still keeps command at Immortal Herb Peak, and the main army in the rear seems to have intentions to withdraw,” Jin Feng said.
The next morning, his familiar inner clock woke him. He rolled out of bed, went to the windowsill, drew the curtains open, stretched, and did a few calisthenic movements, then suddenly felt a faint itching in his body.
In a moment of despair and hopelessness, he received a secret letter from Jun Wuhui, and only then found the courage to go on living.
Liao Wei only smiled and gave him no answer. He simply could not tell him that this one action had come dangerously close to sparking a nuclear war; in front of this anomaly, where even the research division was nearly a blank, it had undeniably confirmed the other party’s strength, while for our side it was merely exposing our own shortcomings.
“Let me bury her properly,” Bai Qianhui said softly, staring at Yinling’s body lying on the ground.
Not only is the south open, the whole country is as well. People of this trade are everywhere, in every conceivable profession, and can be met as soon as one steps outside. As she said: companions to sleep with, to dine with, to travel with, and many other forms of escorting—such as accompanying meetings. The categories are endless.
At noon, Lin Feng arranged for Minister Xie, the Prime Minister, and their party to eat in the school canteen. The taste and dishes there drew unending praise from the Prime Minister and Minister Xie’s party, and when Minister Xie was in a good mood he even teased Lin Feng with cheerful laughter.
Qin Momo took a few quiet sips of tea, stood up, and came to the window to gaze at the view beyond it.
“Master Shihu, thank you for your kindness, but if one treads the unlawful road, how can it be called serving the nation? If this path makes one rise to glory, then I would rather spend my whole life in dull ineffectiveness,” Ling Tianxing said sternly.
Gu Yulan glanced at Shangmou Aicai, half dead and barely breathing on the ground; the name spoke for itself.
How could an injury that should have taken ten days, even half a month, to heal vanish in scarcely ten minutes?
Though this road of chasing dreams is full of thorns and danger, never giving up and holding fast is always the most important.
Kuangfeng Holy Son drew the last lot. He looked briefly at the only strip in his hand and then stepped down from the stage.
By the time Jin Yan and Gu Yulan returned here, half a month had already passed. Inside Dragon Rock Cave it was still dustless and untouched, the babbling water still flowing as before. Yet it seemed as though something was missing.
“Come to think of it, I’ve already reached Chang’an—why hasn’t Yefeng arrived yet? Why is he so slow?” Huaxiang said as she listened to the two and suddenly thought of a question.
In an instant, at the very summit of the sky, a youth in the flush of spring spread his arms wide and embraced all beneath the heavens, as if he ruled the world.
Sword Lady no longer had the drunken recklessness she once had, yet she had added a little goodwill and a clear, gentle charm, even a sorrowful tenderness that made one unwilling to look away.
Xia Wanwan grew all the more relentless. Perhaps after the outbreak of the end times, the ugliest parts of human nature had been magnified in everyone; Xia Wanwan’s sinister face frightened me, making me uneasy in a strange way.
There was no point in thinking about these things now. I lowered my head and sighed, and before I knew it, Forensic Doctor Liu came up to me and tapped me on the forehead.
