Volume One, Chapter 53: She Was Simply Too Beautiful...
The next day at Halfway Villa.
Fu Yuting had just finished reviewing the most authentic financial statements sent by Wen Yunzhi yesterday, which she hadn’t had time to look at. Her head ached—Fu Wencheng had somehow managed to make Lin Yong shoulder several billion in financial losses.
Lin Meina had already been sent abroad, while her ambitious uncle Fu Wencheng continued his misdeeds at Fu Corporation.
She rubbed her brow and checked the time.
Then, she noted the annotation: Lin Mo, from Yunzhou Prefecture in Jiangnan Circuit. Chen Yuanjia nodded quietly and flipped to the next page; once again, it was Lin Mo from Yunzhou Prefecture in Jiangnan Circuit. Chen Yuanjia’s expression grew tense. How could it be him again? Could there possibly be two people with the same name from the same place? Such coincidence seemed impossible.
It was said that the Heavenly Dao sees all; every rule is but its will—cycles, cause and effect, life and death—none can break or destroy it.
Another point: when steaming, cover with plastic wrap so that the aroma of the meat infuses the preserved vegetables, while the fragrance of the vegetables is absorbed into the meat.
“Huh? Do you need something?” Xia Qing hadn’t expected Zhuo Shaoting to call out to her and turned around in surprise to ask.
Jiang Digu called out loudly, then stared intently at Zhou Tian, still refusing to let Hei Zi release Zhang Qingtian.
This left the county vice magistrate at a loss, unable to refuse, so he feigned urgency and went along with the county magistrate.
The war between Yan Mang and the Yin Kingdom had not been a matter of a day or night, but this was the first time the entire nation was mobilized for battle. It was said Yan Mang had received support from Shuyue, and everyone in the barracks firmly believed that once the imperial army and Shuyue’s troops arrived at Longdan Pass, they would surely reclaim Jingnan City.
Within the dantian, the gray, misty bead let out a delighted screech and began spinning rapidly. Endless spiritual energy surged into the dantian, and faint golden light radiated from the surface of the gray spiritual bead.
Yin Lingxin naturally knew what Zhuo Shaoting was thinking, so she immediately clenched her fist and shook it in front of him as a demonstration.
Even the four dogs at home couldn't be bothered with them, and Luo Qingyu was even lazier, waving her hand to scare them off. Why scare them? There was grass growing by the window that cats and dogs disliked, so they never entered any bedroom.
These tragic scenes terrified many climbers who lacked strength, but still, a large number of players wanted to take their chances. After all, if they succeeded, the rewards could make anyone soar, and anyone would be tempted to try.
Wanqing was stunned, her cheeks flushed in embarrassment, yet a smile lingered at her lips as she pressed them to his, not shying away.
“Are you sure? Can your kidneys handle it?” I teased Lu Shuai, who always seemed carefree but often played the role of wise fool.
“Bless you,” Wang Shuangman replied weakly, her pelvis injured, unable to sit up for the moment.
Fan Chaofeng went inside to take a look and found that beneath the main house’s floor was buried a dragon vein. In the main bedroom, a fire wall had been installed—a rarity in Jiangnan—which immediately caught his attention.
An Jieyu walked into the house as if sleepwalking. Somehow, she felt a deep familiarity with this place. Yet she was certain she had never been here before.
But now, the story was so compelling it was impossible not to believe. Even Xu Zhuying and Shen Hanyan covered their mouths and noses in surprise, looking to Lu Ruxue for answers.
Last time crossing the river, Zheng Zhi hadn’t felt it took so long. Perhaps his mood was different the second time.
After a short while, three Fan family guards entered. One carried a cloth bag, while the other two lifted a long cloth bag and placed it on the ground. It appeared to be a shroud commonly used in military camps.
Having joined the Anti-Insect Alliance and gained the approval of the Child of the World, Zhao Xuan no longer needed to stay here to hunt insects. He could now travel freely through this world.
