Chapter 45: Dugu Yan Changes Her Mind

With those two troublemakers from the Divine Realm around, she could not take Tang San’s life for the moment, but surely she could still lay a few traps in secret.

Thinking this, Qian Yunyu infused two stone locks, each no larger than a mung bean, into the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Fire Apricot. She then fixed the two immortal herbs with a sinister smile. “The seeds of the contract have been planted. Now all that remains is for them to take root and sprout... Tang San, I hope you will enjoy this grand gift from this princess. Heh heh heh...”

As she laughed, Qian Yunyu suddenly suppressed—

“Princess, why not listen to what I have to say? In this world, love that can be desired but never obtained is the most painful of all. I, Mu Yeting, swear before Heaven that my proposal to the princess is utterly sincere,” Mu Yeting said earnestly.

He gazed at her dreamily for a while, hesitated slightly, then walked toward the steamed-bun vendor.

She had originally intended to act more intimate with Qingchen. Given Murong An’s temperament, he would surely have developed a grudge against Qingchen.

But now Xiao Ran stopped outside the heart-shaped area, because even she herself did not know what choice she would make next. For Xiao Ran, this decision was cruel and required courage.

Whenever anything touched upon the past, he became so stubbornly serious. She truly had no way to deal with him.

My father grabbed the shovel and was about to jab it forward, but the burly man held him back, refusing to let him act rashly. Then the burly man turned and ran into the house to call the Great Immortal.

When I woke up, I was already in the hospital. At the time, I was lying face down on the bed, while both my hands had been fitted with splints, cast in plaster, and suspended from supports.

Wankeli smiled faintly, then extended both hands and began continuously gathering the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth from within a five-kilometer radius. Wisps of black vapor kept drilling out from the grave.

Not long after the start of the school term, Dabao’s remarkable talent began to reveal itself. Whether in required courses or electives, he excelled in every subject. Like a magnet, he eagerly drew abundant knowledge and nourishment from each discipline.

“By the way, He, Xiao Ran said we should pull away the people we sent there. Otherwise, it will affect her actions,” I said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings erupted into a commotion. The people from the Azure Nether Hall looked at one another, utterly unable to react for a moment. What exactly had happened?

Liu Mang said with a smile, then began ordering dishes without the slightest hesitation. After choosing several items, he handed the menu to Fang Yu. Fang Yu ordered a few things as well, all of them expensive ingredients.

Once it evolves into a Heavenly Fate Purple Locust, it can devour the laws of Heaven and Earth as food and even consume another person’s fortune to add to its own. This is true fortune theft—something utterly defiant of Heaven.

“Captain, is that the entrance we used earlier to get into this underwater base?” Zhang Jianhua immediately asked.

She had been left all alone at the scene of the accident. A large pool of blood that the man had shed earlier still stained the ground, its sight horrifyingly vivid.

He no longer remembered how many times he had called for the doctor to check her heartbeat. Every time, the answer he received was that she was merely sleeping and was simply too exhausted.

Murong Lingxi began introducing the dishes again. “The first dish is deep-fried matsutake. These matsutake mushrooms come from the deep sea near Goryeo. You see, the water in the deep sea is very cold, so matsutake can only be eaten fried.”

After she finished her explanation, everyone was completely baffled. They turned their puzzled eyes toward Lingyue.

At that moment, the car was parked beneath a streetlamp. The dim yellow light shone through the windows, casting a pattern of light and shadow across Qin Lian’s face. One of his eyes lay in the darkness, the other beneath the lamplight, yet both gleamed with scorching intensity.

Judging from Ye Jinglan’s repeated headaches, what Madam Wu said did seem reasonable. But this could not really be true, could it?

Outside, the maids were whispering among themselves. When they saw Lingyue come out, several immediately clustered around her, clearly intending to find out what had happened. Lingyue merely smiled faintly and told them all to go inside and attend to Madam Feng. With that, they retreated in knowing silence.
