Chapter 52: Brother Bin’s Arm Was All Red

Gu Bin stared in a daze at the little muddy, dirty hand reaching out to him.
“This child, eating without washing his hands…”
He hesitated, unsure whether to take it, when Chen Xiulan, her face flushed with embarrassment, gave her son a smack on the back of his head.
“Ow, that hurts!”
Xu Yi protested loudly, howling, “Mom, why are you so rough with your own son…”
“You little rascal—”
She turned back to Dongfang Xuanming and said, “Since that’s the case, then Your Highness should do nothing for now. I believe that in the next few days, even if Lady Jin doesn’t help you, she won’t harm you either. Just wait and see—before long, I’m sure things will take a turn.” She tried to reassure him.
“I don’t understand. We’ve been friends for so long, like sisters. But what are you and the Crown Prince? You were only together for one night. Why would you betray your sister for him?” Lin Baoshu’s voice was tinged with pain.
“You think you can brush this off by claiming you were confused? I think you’re just lying,” the Second Elder said coldly, his eyes sinister and snake-like as they fixed on Zhou Tian.
The Shiny Charizard, hearing it could stay, immediately soared excitedly into the Charizard Valley. The other Charizards followed, flapping their wings as they flew after the Shiny Charizard. Ji Ke’s Lisa chased after them as well. The sight of hundreds of Charizards flying across the valley was truly breathtaking.
Mu Yi saw Jiang Yi carefully tending to the flowers and, not wanting to disturb her, simply waited quietly until she finished.
“Oh my, that’s amazing! Hurry up and give it to me—I’ll keep it safe for you all,” Optimus Prime exclaimed after hearing Ouyang Jue’s explanation about the Azure Ring, immediately pretending to snatch the ring from Ouyang Jue, all in the name of safekeeping. Only he could come up with such a thing.
Jun Li said politely, “Now that Grandmother is well, I can be at ease.” After exchanging a few more words with Madam Yang and Jun Lin, she found an excuse to take her leave from the main wing.
“That’s a good idea—I support it. By the way, Yue’er, since I’m about to propose, shouldn’t I have a ring? How about we go pick one out?” Even though I was completely against Yue’er’s suggestion, I couldn’t say it out loud. To change the subject, I quickly took another tack.
Wen Yulan leaned against his arm, her voice choked with tears, but her gaze lingered on the person standing behind General Wen. Her eyes were truly beautiful—even when mocking, jeering, or showing off, there was a prideful brilliance in them. She flashed a sweet smile, one only Wen Youkou could see and understand.
Madam Feng Jiu sneered coldly but said nothing, tacitly agreeing with Ling Xuan. Eight hundred people were taken by the anti-demon alliance disciples and assigned to one hundred tents, each guarded by a heavy anti-demon alliance presence.
At the top of the tree, the white bud had begun to open, releasing waves of cold air that instantly turned the surrounding air to frost. The biting chill made everyone stiff, their skin cracking and bleeding from the cold.
The boy’s younger sister sobbed, “Go on, hit me if you want. When Mother died, what did she tell you? What did you promise her? Now you see your sister being bullied, you don’t want to help, and you even want to hit me.” Her cries grew more and more sorrowful.
The architecture of Dragon City was magnificent and imposing. Though its layout resembled that of ancient China, it was even grander in scale. The streets bustled with life, shops lined both sides, carriages and horses passed endlessly, and everywhere was a display of the imperial capital’s prosperity.
“A cold? How’s that possible? I’ve never seen Grandpa get sick,” Lishang said in astonishment.
