Chapter 51: When the Unexpected Is About to Happen
This theater was also remarkably grand; for a single play, there were actually four tiers of seating. Naturally, the best view was from the first floor. From the second to the fourth, the higher you went, the worse the visual experience became, to the point where you could only see the tops of the actors’ heads. Yet, even these poorly situated seats were nearly impossible to obtain. After the group took their seats, Feng Ming was still rather amazed.
“Hey? I never thought it would be at this theater.”
Shi Yi was a little puzzled.
The steward finished a bun with his soy milk, then took the bowl of plain porridge and drank it straight from the bowl, not bothering with a spoon. In a city like this, it was impossible to supply provisions for a large army. Even the local officials were nowhere to be found, so worrying was pointless.
In the blink of an eye, everyone's flying swords and magical treasures of various hues struck the black mass all at once. Amidst the muffled explosions and flashing lights, the shrill, continuous screeching of the bloodthirsty demon bats made one's heart tremble with fear.
Even if Li Xuzhi had been stabbed to death by the emperor of the Great Zhou, Lu Qianqian would still want to see how the emperor would deal with Li Xuzhi’s corpse before deciding whether or not to cooperate with the Great Zhou.
The remaining Lady Xue San was both heartbroken and terrified, filled with despair. Yet apart from shedding tears, she had no other recourse; even to seek death was now beyond her ability.
It was a beast, shaped like a monkey but with white ears, gray fur, and long arms. A tattered black cloth was tied around its waist, and it looked exceedingly strange. It stood upright, about three feet tall, snorting heavily through its nose, baring its teeth and making threatening gestures toward the two people.
Qiao Mingjin raised a few account books in her hand. These must be detailed ledgers that not even key members of the Zhou family would know about, right? Should she be allowed to see them?
After another half month, Liu Feng had completely brought the four hundred thousand troops under his control. Any who refused to submit, he executed. At this point, Liu Feng was well aware that mercy would not suffice.
Fortunately, Lady Yang still remembered her reputation for virtue and didn't lose her temper on the road. She barely managed to hold out until they returned to the main residence before breaking into a tirade of curses and smashing things in her rage.
He had borrowed two silver ingots from the Heartless Immortal. If Ling Xuan recalled correctly, that amounted to twenty taels of silver, and the Heartless Immortal only agreed to lend them after Ling Xuan promised to repay forty taels in ten days.
She finally lost her patience. This time, she did not wield the whip but instead tried to reason with him, hoping to persuade him to leave.
Ming Xuan was already displeased that Xia Ye could play a couple with Liang Chen in the play, while he himself had no such opportunity. Why should Xia Ye have that chance?
This was our second visit to the People's Hospital. The last time, Qi Zhengli was injured and hospitalized, which made us quite familiar with the hospital, especially the surgical department. This time, it was also surgery.
That person seemed to sense something and glanced sideways. His features were sharply defined, his gaze icy, with a chilling hint of a sinister smile.
She barely managed two sobs before Lin Jingyi froze, struck by a powerful feeling that things should not be this way.
Qi Huang’s black, shining eyes looked at Xia Ying and Xu Shu with dissatisfaction, as if warning them.
Shi Yuchu could no longer remain seated and anxiously gazed out all the car windows, worried that Mo Jingchuan was somewhere watching her.
You Tan’s suppressed, hopeless longing was portrayed with such depth that Yang Tiange wrung countless tears from the audience with this role.
Shi Yuchu and Yan Heng exchanged glances, feeling a sense of lingering fear as they watched Old Master Mo alternate between frowning and beaming with joy.
“Can we never go back?” Left Qing Sheng murmured to herself. Even if she thought she could leave her past behind, who could truly let go of the one they love most?
The next day, Boren found his master and recounted in detail everything that had happened the previous night.
To be safe, she was just about to climb out of the window, planning to hang from the ledge to lower her center of gravity and reduce the impact when landing.
The manager cursed inwardly, “Dick, you sly dog, playing tricks like this. You’re dead. Did you really think the Jinsha Group would be so easily fooled?”
