Chapter 76: Are You All Right?

"Boss..."
Zhou Shaoyuan's men immediately rushed to the sofa, checking on his condition.
One of them, trembling with fear, reached out a finger to feel Zhou Shaoyuan's breath.
No breath!
He's dead!
"Dead..."
Watching these fools clamoring without a care for their lives, he felt a surge of annoyance. These men were truly a nuisance. If he didn't get rid of them, there was no way he could challenge their king from afar. Yet they refused to cooperate or report to their king—what was he to do?
Lu Xuehua leaned against the doorframe, watching this scene, her heart full of doubts: What was Liu Qianxue thinking? Why did she silently weep before a bouquet of roses? Why was Liu Yunlong, a colonel of the Secret Service, so respectful towards her? Why send her roses specially? How many secrets did this old classmate still hide from her?
Yet everything has its pros and cons. Precisely because the giants had not over-developed this land, its pristine landscape and rare flora and fauna had been preserved. For instance, the golden ground squirrel.
The Granny Meng’s soup, guided by eight tears, had to be slowly simmered to remove its bitterness and preserve its sweetness. Such was the torment of a lifetime—boiling into a fine soup. Life is much the same.
That was why Qu Qingwu felt so much heartache seeing her in this frail state. He could imagine how much hardship his mother had endured these years, and she herself surely knew—most of her worries were for him.
Since Jiang Huiqiang failed to oust Hou Xiangdong and voluntarily promoted Yu Xiaofeng, Zhuo Shizhang, caught in the middle, found himself increasingly estranged from Wang Peng.
The youth’s tender voice rang out, bold and spirited. A bracelet became their token of affection—a promise made in jest during their younger days. Yet that single phrase brought light and warmth to a lonely heart lost in darkness.
With the approval of the State Council and Zhejiang Provincial Government, Xiaoshan City and Yuhang City were abolished, and Xiaoshan District and Yuhang District established. Together with Hangzhou’s original six districts, they formed a new Hangzhou. The adjusted city now expanded from six to eight districts.
His face was full of rebellious arrogance, his gaze at Xue Yun challenging, completely ignoring Feng Wuyai.
Temptation—what a colossal temptation. Such a huge windfall landed on Liuhuo’s head; no wonder it left him dizzy.
"Did you tell Mom and Dad about your acting?" Yang Fei took the apple, smiling as she asked.
Shui Yinchang was startled, "Over two thousand years? That’s equivalent to the Mystic King level among humans!"
Eri Riri would certainly call for outside help, and purely from a paper standpoint, her reinforcements could easily overwhelm him.
Fortunately, the imperial physicians were highly skilled; in half a day, they identified the poison and instructed the palace kitchen to brew the antidote.
A cold indifference was etched at the corners of the man’s eyes and brows. Dressed in black, handsome yet brooding, he opened the car door, bent down, and slipped inside.
They planned to increase their recruitment efforts, finding a few good helpers for Qian Chen, so he could directly aim for the championship next season.
Zui Lifeng chuckled, waved his arm, and two red candles were already placed on either side of the cave entrance, burning brightly. The rosy light illuminated the cave, adding a festive touch.
But what right did she truly have to protest? The man had already lost all patience, fortified by two bowls of potent tonic soup. With a stern face, he forced her inside.
He raised his sword and lunged at Fu Yi, who sneered and cast a binding spell. The bandit chief was instantly frozen in place, unable to move, his eyes filled with terror.
