Chapter 123: I Truly Miss Home

Zunyue looked at her playful stubbornness and pulled her closer into his embrace.

“You little miser, you change your face as soon as I mention a fine,” he said, lowering his head to rest his chin on Wen Yueqing’s head.

“No, no, I was just joking with you earlier, hehe,” she said, lightly shaking her head as she nuzzled his chin.

Then she nestled into Zunyue’s arms and whispered softly, “I’ve been thinking about what you’ve been doing outside, wondering if anything happened when you went to the palace.”

...

Anqi was born into a family of jewelers; from her grandfather to her father and now to her, three generations had been involved in jewelry.

Zhuo Ling glanced at He Nanxi and explained, “I have something for her to do at the shareholders’ meeting later; I haven’t thought much beyond that.” It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought much, but rather he was unwilling to say more.

In the corner of the courtyard stood an atomic reactor. It was an old model, seemingly unused for a year or two, its exterior marked by the wear of time and weather.

Looking at his sleeping face, Fang Xiyan suddenly felt a strange sensation she couldn’t quite place.

Xuan Lishuang hooked her left foot around her arm and tugged downwards. With a muffled grunt, Chen Rongrong’s expression stiffened, and cold sweat broke out in beads down her forehead.

Hou Cangshu and Xia Tianwu each unleashed their unique techniques. The red and blue energies twisted together like the harmonious union of yin and yang, the merging of sun and moon. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into a divine sword, colliding fiercely with the sword aura, sparks flying wildly. Bursts of golden energy surged outward like a raging tide, sweeping the surroundings.

If only he could buy a house in a city, hire a few servants, start some businesses, he might just live the carefree life of a wealthy gentleman.

Sensing the urgency of the situation, Nie Yun immediately assigned opponents for the battle. Shen Yong and Fan Ting were from the Great Dao Domain and the Thousand Path Domain respectively, while Sang Yun was the lone seedling. His allocations were carefully considered.

Tai Shuhong... a name that could wake Yi Xiao from a hateful nightmare, yet now he had to negotiate peace with him.

“Why retreat?” Upon hearing that the attack on Ningpu Port had failed, someone nearby questioned once more.

“Hello,” Aqi smiled briefly at Jian Ning, but showed no other emotion before lowering her head to look at the music score again.

Among Xu Wanwan’s swirling thoughts, the morning bell for self-study rang, but Jin Juefeng had not yet returned to the classroom.

Perhaps she recalled the times at school when she was looked down upon, despised, scorned, and even falsely accused of stealing a phone—no one believed her.

Lu Mingfeng smiled bitterly. If Gong Jueyi heard these words, who knew how she would feel. Naturally, she wouldn’t actually take money from Sister Nuo to give to Gong Jueyi.

Indeed, she even smiled—without any trace of pain or sadness in her eyes, just a carefree smile.

At these words, Zhou Xingfeng, Tang Xuerou, and Fang Min were all shocked. Could it be that this man really just wanted to buy the bracelet? Tang Xuerou didn’t believe it for a moment.

These past few days, her mother had been worrying about Aunt Murong’s safety every day, clutching her phone and waiting anxiously for news.

When the two opened their rooms, Zhan Tianye’s door was closed; it was unclear whether he was home.

However, after waiting all night for Jin Fan, who hadn’t returned home, Han Jiujjiu felt an inexplicable thrill.

“Qi Chang is still too powerful. With his combat strength, even Senior Brother Jingtian is no match for him!” Feng Baiyi sighed.

Gu Fengling’s expression changed slightly. “It’s the Azure Dragon Guardians!” With a leap, he drew his long sword and thrust it toward the ferocious beast. Shangguan Feiyun and four others, all disciples of the Tianwu Sect, seeing the three Azure Dragon Guardians growing weaker, leapt forward and stabbed their swords at the beast.

The Cui family, however, was a rising force. Their foothold in vast Beijing was thanks to their hotel management frequently featured in the Wall Street Journal. Their innovative and avant-garde business philosophy caused a sensation throughout Wall Street.
