Volume 1, Chapter 112: The Only Pleasure in the Room

The man was insatiable, though fortunately, he showed enough restraint to keep her from total exhaustion. An hour later, Mo Xingyuan looked at her hands. "Put the ring back on later."

Those slender, pale fingers looked bare and unsightly without it. Su Li could hardly bear to look at her own hands, yet Mo Xingyuan began massaging her fingers with precise technique, which did indeed help ease her fatigue.

"There's no need." After all, they were getting a divorce; why bother wearing a ring?

Mo Xingyuan was in excellent spirits. "As long as the divorce papers aren't signed, you are still a married woman."

Divorce was out of the question. He kept this to himself, fearing she would cause a scene. Having already wasted two days, he did not want the rest of the trip to be unpleasant.

Li Mu inspected the site and realized the main cover would be completed in a few days. Moved by this thought, he summoned Bai Qing, who was patrolling nearby.

"Stop it! Just stop!" Shen Feng cried out in desperation. Since the tragic death of Yu Qi’s family, he had thought he had no tears left to shed, but now he felt his eyes burning with heat.

The moment this thought crossed his mind, the golden star suddenly began to rotate, and waves of crimson energy surged forth, rushing toward the divine consciousness pearl at the center of his brow! The energy was overbearing and filled with malice—was this not the very force that had possessed him during his demonization?

The opportunity was too good to miss. I bought ten bottles in one go, spending three gold coins instantly without feeling a shred of regret.

"Understood, understood. It’s already a miracle that my hand could be reattached. I live in Lanxi Stream, the territory of my master, Elder Zhao. Don't you know that?" Wang Liang thought to himself: Zhao Youdao is a renowned elder of the Cloud Saint Sect; how could anyone not know where he lives?

Of course, Sanbao would never do such a thing, but that is simply the way of the world: if you do not display sufficient strength, you cannot earn sufficient respect.

I took a few strides onto the dragon's back and slashed away the Destroyers attempting to kill Bing Lan. At the same time, a deathly gray hue washed over my body; I had been infected by the undead toxin. My health points were plummeting so rapidly that even if no one killed me, I would likely perish and return to the city within minutes.

For two days, Zhang He’s army had merely held their ground beneath the three camps of the Three Mountains, refusing to launch a proactive attack. This left the Shu and Jiaozhou armies anxious. As expected, the Shu and Jiaozhou forces came down from the mountains to raid the camps, but this was all within Xi Zhicai’s calculations. He had long since set up an ambush, resulting in a crushing victory for the Wei troops, who seized the three camps while the momentum was in their favor.

A man suddenly walked over from the city gate, dressed in black official robes and sneering repeatedly. It was Yang Ling, the Vice Commander of the Five Cities Infantry Guard, who had held a grudge against Su Yan for years.

"She’s mad, she’s gone mad! Is she throwing her life away just to play the Soul-Summoning Melody?" Lian Qingyun didn't even notice the tremor in her voice as she spoke.

Several companies related to the Mo family were implicated, and the rise of the Hei family pushed them to third place.

He could still run away; as long as he had money, he could hide in the mountains and live out his life.

Upon reaching the rooftop, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. They only needed to seal the sole exit, and the zombies would be unable to get out.

Shen Yang did not know the specific details of Gu Nana’s payment; his job, along with Li Songlan’s, was to oversee the athletes' training.

As the days passed and he grew closer to Li Yunmu, Wang Ren increasingly understood the gap between Li Yunmu and an ordinary person like himself. Because of this, Wang Ren maintained an even deeper respect for him.

No matter what insults she suffered, she could endure them. It was only... only that Bai Yaochu should not have been humiliated just like her.

She was the one who had betrayed him, and though he could put aside the past to come looking for her, she could not forgive her past self.

Finally, that evening, the NBA held a press conference to officially announce the test results.

"Do you have any idea who my young master is?" the fat man’s lackey glared at her viciously.

Concubine Xi stared blankly for a long time, eventually deciding to see for herself. With Yi’s sharp eyes, no movement—not even the flash of ten thousand sword lights—could escape his gaze. Since he was in good spirits, there was no way he could have been mistaken. She couldn't help but think of the recent strange occurrences in the south, suspecting that a demon was at work.
