Chapter 59: Shall We Watch Together?
Lin Lu gently set down the grapes and leaned forward to glance at his computer. The screen was paused on a contract. She barely managed to scan a few lines before Xu Yancheng ended his call. Turning around, she slipped straight into his arms. Xu Yancheng was a little surprised. “What brings you here?”
“I missed you, that’s all…”
For someone always so busy yet still worrying about his own meals, even Lin Haoyu, thick-skinned as he was, would feel embarrassed.
“You’re still laughing so loudly? Doesn’t your wound hurt anymore?” Ye Liuying teased him, seeing his hearty laugh.
But in the blink of an eye, someone had already fished something out from Wanyan Zhuntai’s embrace. Upon closer inspection, it was a tiger-patterned bronze talisman.
“Yes, having friends like this is truly my fortune. To live up to Hanyan’s trust, I will defeat Bai Yu in the Grand Magic Tournament,” said Eisen, his eyes shining with resolve as he clenched his fist.
For Chu Xueting to find such a way out was no small feat, Zhao Tian thought to himself, yet now he had lost all control over his body and tumbled straight toward the mouth of the well.
At that moment, the limiter once again overflowed with a surge of energy. Eisen seized that force and, in one bold leap, reached the summit of Flame Mountain.
“Rou’er, you’ve followed me for so many years. It might be a few more eras of hardship, but once we’ve driven back our enemies, may I marry you?” The Lord gazed at Rou’er with deep affection, his eyes full of tenderness.
For now, Fan Yu was thoroughly satisfied, convinced that everything he’d procured from that place was without defect.
“What’s wrong, Senior? Do you want to run away again, just like a year ago?” Elizabeth sneered, her tone mocking.
Huangque was thunderstruck when she heard Mu Yan’s voice, her sharp chin nearly dropping as she summoned all her strength to shout.
“Be careful you don’t bite your tongue from arrogance,” He Qingfan retorted with a cold laugh, stung by being underestimated. Still, he did not stop his measured breathing, gathering his strength, waiting for the right moment.
And it must be said, the barbecue marinated with Supreme Ingredients redeemed in the Dream Mall was simply out of this world.
“Hey, big sis, let me ask you—what do you like most?” Amy and Cora began peppering Letia ahead of them with childish questions.
Countless droplets of lightning rain were swept away by the Fire Swallow, scattering into glowing sparks that drifted through the air, adorning the surroundings with breathtaking beauty.
As she pressed her questions, the eldest of the Chen family hesitated but eventually answered each one.
“Greetings, Mentor Seres. I am Lin Wei Nolan Hill, your new student this year,” Lin Wei greeted respectfully, handing Mentor Seres the note just signed by Zavik.
Letia, seeing what happened, hurried to shift her sword aside mid-thrust, but in that instant, she lost her balance entirely.
Lan Zheyu, seeing this, moved to help her, but Long Yan quickly signaled him to stop.
“This one—I don’t really like it,” Long Yan finally said, eyes fixed on the high heels at her feet, her words betraying her true feelings.
The next day, Cheng Chumo swaggered into the Fang family’s courtyard, dumping bags of money from the ox cart before hopping back on and returning to the capital.
With the land purchase and plans to build a house settled, everyone was overjoyed. Even though they were still living in a thatched hut, excitement and hope for the future filled their hearts.
Han Yan and Kuramoto Yoshinobu stepped onto the arena in turn, immediately igniting the crowd’s enthusiasm.
Palace Shaoqing opened his eyes, and all those who had vanished now reflected vividly in his dark golden pupils. The long sword in his hand was lifted high and brought down mercilessly.
When Peach Blossom saw that the restaurant’s supplies were secured, a weight was lifted from her heart. After placing the pheasants and wild rabbits in the backyard shed, she grabbed a chicken, called out to Mrs. Zhao, and left the house.
