Volume One, Chapter 56: I'm Back—Why Aren't You Tempting Me Anymore?

The atmosphere was growing tense. Su Li was on the verge of losing her composure. She had no resistance to his appearance, constantly feeling she might pounce on him and devour him whole. What kept her sober was the clear understanding that Mo Xingyuan did not love her, nor did she love him. Forcing things would shatter the current peace between them.

Su Li was also holding on, unwilling to admit defeat, lest she lose the ability to tease him in the future.

"Mama—" Huizi was utterly stunned. Guoguo had actually called Nie’er 'mama'! What on earth was their relationship?

For a moment, all those from the outer city looked at Lin Xiangnan in terror. And as Lin Xiangnan walked toward Luo Xin and Lin Yunuo, passing by these people, the outer city folk, frightened, quickly stepped aside.

At this point, Li Hu could no longer conceal the truth and told Ye’s mother everything he had uncovered about Ye Nishang being cursed in Indonesia.

But with ghost soldiers all around, walking was indeed uncomfortable. If it weren’t for that damned bitter pill in my mouth that sent warmth into my throat, I would have frozen to death by now.

A security guard at the front was struck and sent flying, and though the others reacted, it was too late—they too were knocked down by the cars behind.

“There’s no need for that—I’m only speculating. Whether it’s really the case, or something else, remains to be seen,” Lin Xiangnan admitted, not entirely confident, but his intuition told him Gou Zhiyong was suspicious.

He remembered it clearly—the weather was bitterly cold then, and with nothing to wear, his hands and feet were covered in chilblains. Yet in Yunhai, February was already growing warmer.

As I observed the powerful beings arriving ahead of the others, the current Great Saint Kunpeng glanced at me, tilted his head, and gave a slight smile, as if he had long expected my arrival.

The black spirit tokens required fourth-tier strength. Most people were stuck at the peak of the third tier, and only a rare few passed the trials to obtain a black token, so the rest could only accumulate contribution points to earn one.

He stayed in Qingning City for two days, visiting Ye Nishang every day, keeping her company, using the power of the five elements to heal her.

Yun Zhi’s face grew cold, his pupils contracting as two flashes of light seemed to shoot out. He made no attempt to hide his contempt for Ling Yao, while Ling Yao, in turn, openly showed his intent to oppose him—truly a clash of fire and water.

At that moment, all the dragons slowed down, fearing this prison of lightning. Although they hid it well, their masters could sense their terror. So Lin Xuan called the dragons back, then led everyone to the surface of the sea.

“This is troublesome,” Hou Ming frowned. Should he rush forward and tell them a monster was about to emerge from the water?

“Why would I look for you? You ignore me anyway, so why should I care?” As she spoke, Tingting was overcome with sorrow and began to cry again.

"Not daring? Is this how you show you’re afraid?" Zong Ruo seized the teacup on the table, poised to smash it down, but after a moment’s thought, he set it back with a heavy thud.

The fire-red peacock, seeing this, let out a cry that was both joyful and excited. With a shake of its wings, it soared above the ground, guarding the treasure about to emerge.

“Do you really think I’m so easily fooled?” Jiu Fangming noticed the strange look in Mo Chen’s eyes and stopped walking—Mo Chen didn’t seem lifeless at all.

“A golden scale is no pond fish; you cannot keep her,” Lin Yan said. Back then, it was the same with Lin Chan—once she reached a certain level, she ventured out into the world.

Wei Li had no intention of giving her another chance to speak—he gripped her chin, forcing her mouth open, determined to have his way.

These past few days, my sister-in-law had returned home, and her milk was sufficient, but my mother-in-law still worried the child wasn’t getting enough and tried every way to supplement her.

At the jewelry shop, it was usually Jiao Jiao and Cai Xia who attended to customers. When things got busy, Liang Yuyao would come to help as well.
