Volume 1 Chapter 32 Building a Doghouse

Wang Dong woke up.

The first thing he said upon opening his eyes was:

"You had better give me a reason."

As soon as he woke, he had found Liu Fuquan’s dark, broad face hovering right in front of his forehead, baring two large teeth in a wide grin.

The sight nearly caused the newly awakened Wang Dong to lose his breath.

However, seeing that Wang Dong was awake, Liu Fuquan seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

The car arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Hotel. Yu Zhenting followed Ai Yaxin’s directions to the private room where Lin Man was supposed to be, but the room was empty, littered with the remnants of a meal and filled with the stench of alcohol.

This was not him. He had never been so negative or dejected. I had always felt that death and decadence were far removed from him; he used to be a man who moved with the wind, never hesitating in anything he did. Yet, faced with this sudden illness, he was truly fragile; he had genuinely been struck down by it.

She reached out, took his arm, and walked out of the villa, where a red Maybach was already waiting at the entrance.

Luo An’an collapsed to the floor. She did not know why, but the sense of unease she had felt over the past few days was growing stronger. She sensed that something major was bound to happen, though she could not fathom what it might be.

His strength left Rou Yun feeling powerless. Whether it was her Yin-Yang Fist or her Supple Cloud Sword technique, both seemed inadequate when compared to the Grim Reaper’s unrelenting blade.

"Easier said than done. I fear that of all the tasks, dealing with Miss Lin’s affairs is the most difficult. Internal matters, diplomacy, trivialities... tsk tsk... just thinking about it gives this old man a headache," said Bai Xiaosheng.

"You’ll know in a moment. It’s a secret." Lu Yunqing moved her lips slightly, her eyes brimming with a hidden smile. She looked quite mysterious.

It is truly a nuisance to be a person of such nobility; even trying to find a moment of peace is difficult.

In truth, she did not understand the motives of those two thugs. What benefit could there be in following Yuan Yeting?

At this moment, the temperature inside the exotic fireball had reached an extreme, hot enough to melt gold and iron. If Ning Fan were to use fire of this intensity to forge weapons now, he would likely vaporize ordinary materials instantly.

Mentioning this topic made Xiao Xiao’s face grow even paler. Her body swayed, and she had to steady herself by leaning against the back of the sofa.

"Old He, take the brothers and flank them from the other side, come around from the building materials market to pin them down!" Shen Mian issued tactical orders while hacking and slashing at the black-clad enemies.

Her hands were slightly damp. She had just washed them and hadn't finished drying them when her phone rang. She pulled out a tissue, wiped her hands hastily, and retrieved the phone.

Seeing that Fang Ziqian truly did not understand the connection between the two, Shentu Haolong was uncharacteristically patient in explaining it to him.

Everything had been prepared, but now that there was suddenly nothing to do, Jiang Guangguang felt a sense of emptiness. She understood Gou San to some extent; his sudden change of heart was likely because he feared she would implicate him. In truth, this was only natural; everyone was merely an acquaintance. There was really no reason to shoulder risks for anyone else.

Even with the evidence laid out before her, it was not enough to make Empress Dowager Xiao believe it was real.

She gave it a mere glance before looking away, ordering her servants to seal the chest back up.

I have feelings for Gu Qin, but I cannot act on them. As an adult, I am all too aware of the chasm between us.

"Sister Chang, you really must help me. If you don't, this wedding might not be able to go on." Qin Meimei burst into tears.

Every twenty-ninth and thirteenth day of the month, they would emerge in full force, lying in ambush at Mount Canglu to rob those who came seeking immortality and the Way of their wealth and goods.

To Li Yanchen, Su Yiyan’s words were meant to keep him from worrying. She was extremely guarded around those around her; if it were someone she didn't know, Su Yiyan would certainly not let her guard down.
