Chapter 66: Does it hurt?

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Nie, I've stained your dress!"
Shen Man cried out in mock dismay, then flung her chopsticks aside and, as if by accident, knocked over the herbal tea cup sitting right beside her. The cup crashed down, and the water, mixed with floating flower petals, spilled all over Nie Xingyan.

Locating the exit of the commercial airliner, Mu Ya pulled her face mask down even lower and walked with her head down toward the taxi stand.

Miao Muyun was a disciple and successor of the Thirty-Six Caves of Yunding. By nature, he was hot-tempered yet held a high position within his sect. Originally, he had no desire to meddle in such idle business, but who could have foreseen that Yuan Lihong was no match for Qiu Luoluo, being defeated within just a few moves? Miao Muyun was thus forced to step in and help. As for what happened next, Lu Qianyu already knew.

"I know you don't want to marry me, but your boss agreed to transfer you to me. Be my assistant for a month. If you still can't fall in love with me by then, I'll concede defeat! And even if I love you deeply by then, I won't want you anymore!" Ye Zhenzhen said, keeping her eyes on the road ahead.

Did that mean if Bai Muya still hadn't agreed to her request before the return trip, she would only then reluctantly make use of herself?

Lu Tianjiao was beside himself with rage and roared, "Listen up, brothers of the White Flag! The men of the Black Flag have violated our sect's rules and slaughtered our companions—this is a grave and heinous crime. Kill them!" The men of the White Flag immediately launched a counterattack.

Last night, urgent intelligence reports had been sent down the mountain, and the earliest hints of this matter could be found in the sisters Shangguan Qingjun and Shangguan Qingyang.

"No, I... I have many more good things. I'll give them all to you, I beg you, don't kill us." Lu Jianchen directly offered his storage ring and unhesitatingly wiped away his spiritual imprint upon it.

It had been decided as early as yesterday that the temporary commander for this match would be Qing Du! Although this fellow usually liked to laugh and joke around, when it came to serious matters, he rarely made mistakes.

Strolling openly down the street together—something Shao Hanzhi had never been willing to do with her before—was now happening quite naturally. It was just that Su Yueran didn't really want anything in particular, so she hadn't bought much of anything.

If she were to truly take out all her money, it would be tantamount to giving away her entire fortune, which she was extremely reluctant to do. Yet under these circumstances, everyone was watching, and those around them were egging her on with taunts and coercion.

Hearing the lord's words, everyone burst into laughter at once. The initial sense of estrangement between the generals and the Kuai brothers instantly dissipated, drawing their relationships much closer.

Next came Si Chan, followed by the various officials' wives and other people of high standing.

Jingchen withdrew his wooden fish, which instantly resumed its utterly unremarkable appearance. He glanced in the direction where Descending Dragon had been thrown, his expression suddenly changing as he broke into a rapid sprint, closely followed by Ling Xuan and Yan Ruoyi.

Hua Mu did not quite understand what Hua Li meant and looked somewhat puzzled. Right now, Hua Li was thinking about telling everyone not to mention what had just happened to Hua Mu, so that when Hua Mu confronted everyone in debate, her true, unvarnished nature would shine through.

"Come inside and sit down." Hua Li went indoors to clear away the bowls from the table, as she had just about finished her meal.

News like this naturally caused all the disciples to boil with excitement. Naturally, someone within the sect was specially dispatched to deliver a message to Penglai, but the task was intercepted by Fuli. Seeing that Penglai was wholly dedicated to her cultivation, Fuli chose not to mention the matter.

Even her own father ignored her; as a maid who relied on her master's moods to make a living, how could Liaozhi possibly still take care of her?

Blood ties truly were a wondrous sensation. Even after years apart, the moment they met, there was no barrier between Ye Fei and Ye Yin. They felt like old acquaintances who had known each other for years, completely free of any awkwardness, casually exchanging jokes.

Shen Liu possessed an iron-fisted resolve and an upright, incorruptible character. Leading a powerful garrison to guard Cangcheng for many years, he had slain countless Amobi people.
