Volume 1, Chapter 73: Dr. Qiao Seems Excessively Concerned About My Wife

As Cheng Qian bent down, the chat box suddenly chimed repeatedly, and several photos were sent over.

Her head drooped in dismay, wearing an expression of utter helplessness. The romantic candlelit dinner that should have been had been instantly ruined by Liu Mengmeng looking utterly disheveled and crestfallen. Any trace of romantic warmth was entirely gone; all Yan Yeting saw was a cat that had eaten its fill, sitting across from him the entire time, projecting a languid, defeated, yet adorable look.

Kate, standing to the side, had no idea what kind of mood or expression to adopt to join in between them.

I handed a cigarette to Wang Zheng. He hadn't smoked before, but he took it anyway, and finally lit it up.

Now that everything that needed to be arranged had been settled, only Chen Yun, Qian Yao, and Fujing remained. Thinking it over, there truly wasn't a place to hide within these six realms. If he failed this time, the three of them would also be implicated. Being able to find a safe hiding place could at least give Jiesheng more peace of mind.

Sitting in the car, Tang Yin's mind was filled with all these messy affairs of Liu Mengmeng's, making her head ache just thinking about them—let alone someone as thick-skinned and oblivious as Liu Mengmeng. The fewer people meddled in such matters, the better; it was wisest for her to just wait and watch how things unfolded.

One indentation led away toward the cage, while the tracks on the other line headed toward the location of her fellow apprentice's body.

Not long after the nine fierce sword auras vanished, the horizon unexpectedly expanded into nine hazy circles of light, releasing a rich and archaic aura.

Liang Ci gave a light cough and tugged at my sleeve, signaling that I didn't need to ask any further. Seeing the utterly peculiar expressions on all their faces, I finally came to my senses, blushing deeply and shutting my mouth in silence.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, the four of them strolled around together. Yan Xi and Lin Hao walked in the back chatting, while Yan Siqi held Lan Yuyuan's hand and talked to her about fashion.

Just as Jiushou raised the Eight-Trigrams mirror in his hand, the fellow disciples stationed at the eight directions began chanting under their breath. I recognized this clearly as the Ghost-Exorcism Incantation.

Yang Bin was finished. This time he was truly done for, one hundred percent ruined! If they didn't seize this opportunity to expose him on the spot, they would probably never find such a chance again.

As long as the Scourge forces failed to eliminate the captain in a single round, relying on the high ground and the resurrection fountain, the captain could quickly recover and rejoin the battle.

Upon seeing the quest details, everyone's expression inevitably darkened. The only clue provided by the old man pointed toward the boundless ocean, and the search area was as vast as finding a needle in a haystack.

Aside from having Xiao continue his research, Yang Bin himself was also attempting various methods to study and crack the Official Virtue System.

Fortunately, Huhai possessed the entire realm. Although each of these telescopes was priceless, the crystal needed for a few dozen monocular telescopes was well within reach. Glass had not yet been invented, but it wouldn't take much longer either.

Upon seeing this, Lü Hong immediately understood that there must be news about Lü Xiang'er. Yet they were withholding it from him, which meant the situation was definitely less than favorable. The more Lü Hong thought about it, the more anxious he became, but he could only lie in bed and wait for news, unable to do a single thing.

After briefly inquiring about the journey, Zhao Dingguo didn't waste words, quickly leading his teammates to the teleportation array and entering the subterranean world of the ruins one by one through it.

In truth, deep in the Emperor's private heart, he was quite close to Nie Peixiao. However, as long as Empress Dowager Ye remained alive, he had to guard against the old woman supporting her biological son's ascent to the throne. Therefore, the rise of the Ye clan was the last thing he wanted to see.
