Chapter 90: Overbearingly Pulling Her Into His Embrace

He howled like a wolf and sprang a meter away, clutching his lower back, his face filled with disbelief. “Seriously, I can’t believe it. Why do you girls bring needles when you climb Mount Tai?”

“You deserved it!”

Li Liang added fuel to the fire. “I stabbed you on purpose.”

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry...” Lin Xiyu was beside herself with regret. “I shouldn’t have put it there, it shouldn’t have been on the outside of my backpack.”

“It hurts so much, is it bleeding?”

At that moment, not only was the venomous snake agitated, but the three onlookers were also brimming with anticipation, their faces full of longing.

Shen Bichou’s hands began to tremble. Mu Cheng’s words dropped like a boulder in her heart, sending waves crashing through her soul. Even her lips quivered. The calmer Mu Cheng’s face became, the clearer it was to her what she had truly lost.

Gradually, even the legendary tale of Qin Huang’s battle in the Devil City—the sword that cleaved the sea of thunder—no longer seemed important.

What had started as a casual remark now weighed more heavily. After a moment’s hesitation, the principal finally spoke.

The area had clearly been cleared ahead of time; no fishermen or merchants were present. The Imperial Guards surrounded the place, forming an impenetrable iron barrier.

Murong Ruo went to bid farewell to the prefect and his wife, leaving the remaining tasks in the prefect’s hands.

Wrapped in a fox fur cloak, Murong Ruo felt warmth flowing endlessly into her limbs and organs. Whenever she thought that this cloak had once been worn by Ji Mo, she couldn’t help but feel shy enough to blush.

Ever since Yun Yuyuan’s marriage, even if those ministers had designs on his household, they didn’t dare act. Wasn’t the brutal lesson at the front enough?

Zong Zhiyi slowly took her seat at the head of the main hall. Two yards away, with no screen between them, she continued her meal unhurriedly.

Inside the Hall of Tranquility, Lady Zhou took her turn to attend to the emperor yesterday. Her beautiful eyes were nearly blinded by tears as she clung to the emperor’s hand, endlessly recounting every detail of their time together.

I lay on the ground, my mind blank, body relaxed. Perhaps it was sheer exhaustion, or perhaps the aftereffects of a damaged soul, but I closed my eyes and drifted into sleep without knowing when.

Moreover, the cooldown for this skill was so short. If timed well, it was possible to prevent the opponent from using any skills at all.

“You—” Jin Yina was trembling with rage, raising her hand for a slap.

Thus, Ji Yuyou’s second kiss was delivered openly on her own man’s lips, witnessed by her rival.

“Sister Ye Ling, did you know? There was once a girl named Xue Luan who did the very same thing.” Ding Qing smiled gently, her eyes unafraid. She understood: sisters had done it before, all for the one they loved.

Yet, the boss was a creature of intelligence. Seeing that ordinary attacks and beam attacks were ineffective, it unleashed a new skill at that moment.

After graduating from graduate school, he found a job with a decent income. After working for a year, he decided to repay the money to the old professor. After much inquiry, he finally found the professor’s home.

Still, to be safe, on the fifteenth of August he found an excuse to enter the palace and visit Zhao Zhaoyi, personally guarding his young sister’s side.

When he passed the row of lavishly decorated wooden cabins at the foot of the mountain, Sun Haoci glanced several times, thinking the accommodations looked quite nice. But the senior leading the group didn’t stop, heading straight up the mountain.

Qin Yiheng was among them, even mimicking the stiff posture perfectly. He turned to look at me and said, “Jiang Shuo, listen to me—don’t ever try to find the Yin River.”

Was it possible that the power of the divine tree was insufficient to sustain us? Could it only grant everyone a brief moment of peace?

Zhou Tai: I’ll take twenty thousand; Second Brother Guan will take ten thousand; Guan Hai will take ten thousand; the remaining ten thousand will be given to Jiang Qin to assist Lu Kang in defending the city.
