Chapter 68: It’s Not Pain—It’s Disgust

Lin Lu’s heart tightened.

“But don’t worry, he didn’t say anything afterwards, nor did he show any intention of going to fetch you back.”

Only then did Lin Lu breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Xu watched her, seeing the weight lift from her shoulders, and couldn’t help but ask, “Lin Lu, is being Mrs. Lu really so unbearable for you?”

Lin Lu let out a faint scoff...

But in the end, it turned into something good—many people were eagerly awaiting the upcoming wedding.

As the words fell, he reached to reclaim his suitcase, but Ming Yixiu’s agility far surpassed the gentle, harmless demeanor he presented. With a quick, deft movement, he dodged the young man’s outstretched hand and ascended two more steps.

As long as he could become stronger, master his own fate, he would stop at nothing—even if it meant losing all conscience.

Sure enough, as Mu Luan Yi finished speaking, Tong Fugui’s face instantly turned pale. He looked up at the two with a strange, unsettling expression.

Everyone accepted the gesture, without uttering a word, simply drinking their fill—never mind the questions lingering in their hearts.

Xiang Ning had already begun the ancient ritual of the Moon Tribe, yet the bright moon showed not the slightest reaction. The only glimmer of hope she saw was the Moon Spirit Night in her brother’s hand, which responded, radiating a gentle power beneath the moonlight.

Along the way, both remained silent, especially Zhu Changjin, whose heart had shifted from joy to anxiety.

Her death had been brutal. Now, those vicious eyes and hostile demeanor made Wu Yue shudder once more.

Take Zhai Chengjing, bolstered by the prestige of being the foremost noble in Nuo Ying—he had spent seven years establishing himself in Jizhou.

“Don’t worry, you’re not really going to rebel. You’re going to be an undercover agent,” Mu Luan Yi explained.

At the very moment the wandering knight rushed close, Lu Jin’s body swayed lightly, moving with ghostly swiftness and sudden action.

Tang Haize thought Carefree Master was joking with him, but unexpectedly, Carefree Master struck his chest with a palm.

If she had known it would come to this, she might as well have stayed true to her revolutionary ideals from beginning to end, always standing firm, refusing to beg the reactionaries for mercy… But it was all over now. Zuo Ai was exhausted. She couldn’t even summon the will to survive.

By cobbling together a few shabby internet cafes and a management software, they managed to “swindle” several tens of millions in cash from the notoriously stingy Old Wu family. With Wu Xueying’s tacit approval, Feng Yiming’s name was no longer obscure in Yanjing.

Old Master Zhang muttered under his breath, helplessly trailing behind Wan Hua and the others as they entered the house.

At that moment, Hong Chengchou, as if leading troops to battle as usual, rode a tall steed, flanked by personal guards. He Long, Hong Chengchou’s most trusted and capable general, stayed close by, ever ready to obey commands.

Because of this, as long as Yu Luo wished, she could sense Mikoto Misaka’s location.

No matter how skilled someone was at concealment, so long as he still had emotion, if Yu Luo wanted to sense him, it would be as obvious as spotting someone waving a torch three meters away in the darkness.

“Master, are there pills inside?” Because Zhiwu was so honest, she didn’t dare glance at the box, only knowing there was a pill box on the table. As for what kind of pills, she had no idea.

At that moment, the gathered common folk, seeing events suddenly change so dramatically, didn’t know what to do. One by one, they stood dumbfounded, watching with blank faces as the once spirited Emperor Chongzhen vanished before their eyes.

Chen Sen said little; it was mainly Lin Meiru speaking. Standing beside her, Jiang Tianzi’s elder sister, the nurse, offered ambiguous thanks, and then left the ward without lingering.

Carlos silently recited the somewhat familiar name. It was no wonder he found it familiar—anyone with eyes would notice the four gilded characters, Star Spirit Tower, emblazoned on the side of the towering skyscraper across the street.
