131 Weariness

"Th-thank you," the Supreme Witch whispered, her head bowed in shyness. "Thank you for saving me."

Bai Zongnan patted her small head and said with doting affection, "You silly girl. You are my sister; protecting you is my duty as your brother. Besides..."

He paused, his gaze shifting to the jade bracelet on the Supreme Witch's wrist.

This jade bracelet was quite peculiar; its color was a haunting blood-red, with faint traces of black seeping through.

She worried that they were too conspicuous. If they were caught on camera by passersby and posted online, it would inevitably stir up a sensation. Wishing to keep a low profile, she decided against going to the cinema.

"As expected of an item from the game store worth five hundred game coins," Yuan Guanglong remarked in admiration.

Putting his phone away, Qin Xiu couldn't help but rub his temples. Every time he finished a call with Mrs. Qin, he felt as exhausted as if he had been working for days and nights on end.

"The strange thing is that even Manager Shi of Taifeng came. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't listen to what they were saying and hurried back to tell you," Xia Yu explained in a low voice.

Ya Quan’s gaze drifted idly away from Selina. After swallowing hard, his Adam's apple bobbing, he affirmed his decision.

All morning, everyone remained frozen in the same posture: bodies upright, legs clamped together, and gazes fixed firmly ahead.

Perhaps it was because he heard Ye Jian’s reminder, or perhaps he knew time was running out and victory was within reach, but even as sweat dripped into his eyes, he did not move.

Of course, the elder sister’s shout came after; it was just a casual remark so that Maizi and the others wouldn't sense her true intentions.

To celebrate moving into the new home, I invited Xinxin, Manman, and Lin Yushi over for dinner. I had originally invited Cheng Song as well, but he called at the last minute to say he couldn't make it due to an urgent matter.

Having passed away with lingering regrets, Manman had now fulfilled her final wish and could be reincarnated without sorrow, ready to embrace a new life early.

The State Administration of Radio and Television likely deemed the content too sensitive and perverse, so they blocked it during the review process.

In truth, Su Jinchu had sensed something from Gu Mingchen’s expression earlier, but she couldn't explain it to Yun Ya while he was present.

"Didn't my sister already say that she didn't put any chili on the barbecue she brought?" Tang Youzhen quickly defended Su Jinchu.

He Qinqin felt her stomach was full, but for some reason, the mere thought of that goose-leg news made her feel as uncomfortable as if ants were crawling inside her.

She could easily handle other opponents, but against Allen, the King of Gamblers, she would likely be the one being handled.

She had used acupuncture to temporarily alter her mother's pulse, but since the needles required at least fifteen minutes to take effect, Mother Jiang had to endure the physical pain for now.

The doctor said she was somewhat malnourished, though she wasn't actually that fond of eating. However, to restore her body's nutrition as quickly as possible, she now ate everything; as long as it was nutritious, she would accept it without complaint, proving not to be a picky eater at all.

In this country, no one knew them. They could be a free and unrestrained newlywed couple here.

Su Yiyao believed she had left Su Ming a generous way out. All he needed to do was offer a simple apology, and he would remain the eldest legitimate son of the Su family, cherished by all four sisters. There was no reason for him to refuse.

She didn't feel embarrassed by being ignored; rather, Gu Zhiyin’s gaze made her feel guilty. It felt as if countless needles were pricking her, making her entire body uncomfortable, especially her neck.

Profiting from it would be even better. By revealing his name—though he was a cultivator from the Central Region where regulations were strict—he noted that even on the border, every cultivator’s background and movements were documented. If one could not even manage their own territory, how could they hope to handle the affairs of the world?

She lay down on the bed, only to find that every time she closed her eyes, she thought of Ye Yifan. Her previous drowsiness seemed to have vanished, and she could not fall asleep no matter what.
