Chapter 40: The "Double-Dead" Parents

Ji Nuan, an orphan, was sent to Country Y as an exchange student due to her excellent academic performance, where she met Shi Yi. Like magnets drawn to each other, the two quickly fell in love. At that time, Ji Nuan did not know Shi Yi's true identity; she only knew that this man was high-spirited and incredibly handsome.

Disregarding his dignity, the old man cursed aloud; if circumstances had allowed, he would have rushed to seize the opportunity himself. Bian Xue nodded gently, remaining silent as she rested her head against Zhao Feng's chest. At this moment, the crowd was incensed, and people at the shop entrance began to point fingers; Qin Lang had truly provoked public outrage.

After a disdainful snort, the figure in the gray robe shuddered, shaking the snowflakes from his body. With lightning speed, his left hand gripped Liu Jianxin's sword, while his right hand lunged toward Liu Jianxin's chest in a brutal strike.

"Just wait. If my master doesn't see me return, he will definitely come looking for me. That will be the day of your reckoning! Hahahaha!" Thinking of this, Yuan Min could not help but burst into laughter.

Jiang Hai mused to himself that, because this object possessed the same peculiar fluctuations as the previous slime—only stronger—it was likely the container for the slime, or perhaps the magical artifact used to create it.

This farce, triggered by Tian Youya, had finally come to an end, at least halfway; the other half remained: returning safely to the Tianhun Kingdom. Meanwhile, at the Huangtu Group, Qiu Ruoxi sat in her office, listening to Qin Muge's report.

Lü'er coaxed the child for a while until the crying stopped. The child stared at Wang Ning with wide eyes, then began to giggle.

At this, Chuxiu’s left ear turned as red as her right. Although it was merely putting on an earring, far less intimate than washing one's hair, Chuxiu still felt awkward, especially since they were within the Yun residence.

In truth, there were other things he could do, such as tracking the Qimo or finding the whereabouts of Zhong Ling'er. However, he had no idea where to look for them and could only hope to encounter them by chance. If he did, he would naturally intervene, but if not, he would have to let it go.

"Right by the roadside of Fuding No. 1 Middle School, it’s a five-minute walk from here," Yan said, clearly not having been there for the first time.

Having just checked with her manager about whether she could go find Qiu Yang and the others, the response she received was that it would be best not to let the other members know.

The young man, dressed in animal skins and straw sandals, bathed in the warm morning sun. He did not seem as wretched as he had upon their first meeting; in fact, was he not somewhat handsome?

"To hell with you, who do you think you’re talking to? If that bastard Xu Yifan refuses to come out and see me, I’ll go see him. I’ve even prepared two generous gifts for him," Huo Tianqi cursed, grabbing a brick and storming inside. Qin Feng followed with a cold expression; they were here to cause trouble, and if they didn't make a scene, what would be the point?

The three reached the parking lot. Qin Erniu put the luggage in the trunk, opened the doors for Qin Feng and Huo Tianqi, and then started the car, slowly pulling out of the lot.

Wasn't that freak from the Cheng family crippled by someone? Judging by the old man Ximen's tone… Cheng Xiangtian had already recovered.

When Hanchu finally regained her composure, she saw Yun Ci smiling at her. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip and bow her head in a low apology.

However, Yunyan City was not a friendly place. The forces within were intricate, and the gap between rich and poor was vast. Although the City Lord’s mansion maintained order, brawls, murders, and oppression were still rampant.

They had already taken the child home earlier, so why were they suddenly appearing in his hospital room now?

Agreeing to the marriage, promising everything, and then playing for time—dragging it out until the Zhou family and Zhou Nian themselves could no longer bear it and called off the engagement.

For example, if a mechanical expert were to travel back in time, they could not improve machinery comprehensively in a short period. They would need to manually build the first machine tool, then use that to build a second one with higher precision, repeating the process until the machine's precision reached the absolute limit of what was possible.
