Chapter 56: Joker Carnival (5)

Lilian was completely baffled and clueless. She pressed Payne for answers, but Payne just smiled without saying a word.

"Anything that can be constantly brought up by Mr. Clown must be a very important matter, right?" Lilian muttered softly to herself.

The kitchen was just a short distance away. As she rounded the dim corridor, Lilian suddenly bumped into a wall of flesh, causing her eyes to well up with tears as she clutched her nose in pain.

Her voice sounded muffled: "What is wrong, Mr. Payne?"

The tall, green-haired man grinned.

"I truly have no idea what is going on inside his head!" Chu Yin sighed. If it were him, he certainly would not have made such a choice.

Nie Yukun's arrangement brought great relief to both Li Luhui and Cheng Peipei. Thoughtful Sister Yukun would undoubtedly arrange a secluded room for Cheng's parents; otherwise, if they were to run into Li Luhui's parents again, the trouble would be enormous.

Just then, Jian You's spike bounced out of bounds, landing right beside Fu Chengjue's feet. Everyone looked over, and Fu Chengjue bent down to pick up the ball.

Stepping back into the private room, Qin Huan saw that everyone from the Qin side had raised their glasses, whereas opposite them, only Fu Chengjue was holding up a glass.

If she had not kept her wits about her when she was blindfolded and bound hand and foot, feeling her way to lean against a pillar and frantically rubbing the ropes on her arms back and forth until the ropes loosened and she freed her hands, she would probably still be in that unknown place waiting to die.

"Yes. That's right. Now tell me, do you still yearn for my Senior Brother Xuanyuan?" Ling Dongwu stared with wide eyes, trying to entice Shui Youyou.

Panic was evident in Qin Huan's eyes as she gazed unblinkingly at Fu Chengjue, her body still trembling slightly.

Alvin froze in his tracks on the spot, the green eyes hidden behind his polarized glasses flashing intermittently.

When she turned around, her lips brushed past Qin Fengzhan's, icy cold as if devoid of temperature, accompanied by a faint trace of alcohol. Qin Fengzhan did not dodge. It was only after a long while that he raised himself slightly, stroked her face, and gazed steadily at her.

Watching the palace attendants moving things around from the side, he roared, "Get out, all of you! No one is allowed to touch anything in here!" Startled, the palace attendants knelt, kowtowed, and retreated.

Although Qiao Wan was filled with anger, she could only watch helplessly as Qiao Wei thrived and flourished in the company.

D'Artagnan searched the entire Rose Fencing Academy, but failed to find the young lady who had captured his heart.

Without hesitation, Zhang Ang swung his long saber, unleashing massive waves of blade qi that blanketed a vast area in front of him.

Indeed, in just a single night, Bai Qihong had been deeply captivated by Duan Zhiyuan's profound medical knowledge.

On the shore, Carpenter Jia's gaze had already drifted toward the ferry, gnashing his teeth in resentment inwardly.

He wanted to protect the Third Prince, to possess the Third Prince, and to spend a lifetime staying together with the Third Prince.

"This, this I wouldn't know. Her Ladyship answers directly to His Majesty the Emperor. As a servant, how could I possibly know what she does?" the middle-aged man said subserviently.

Precisely because of this, standing amidst the mist, she could clearly perceive the terrifying entities lurking within the fog. This left her bewildered while a quiet unease began to sprout.

"It doesn't matter, Sister. I won't get in your way!" Ye Wanhui said again, her gaze falling upon Suren.

Carpenter Jia knew inwardly that Li Huanger had also been at the ferry that day, so upon hearing her mention this matter, he instantly lost his confidence.

This was a gelified, potent anti-terrorist potion, night-demon ergotamine. When using it, dip a cotton swab and apply it into the groove along the blade's edge, then let it dry and solidify.

The moment Zhao Rui saw that the lock had indeed been replaced by a relative, he did not bother to reply and charged straight into the house.

Because we were taking turns keeping watch and I had already slept for more than a day, feeling fully energized, I—who was on duty—suddenly whipped my head around and spotted the owner of the voice behind us.

Huo Ting had originally intended to come out to look for some food, wandering through the forest, when he caught a whiff of a familiar fragrance along with the scent of fresh blood, prompting him to rush over immediately. To his surprise, he really did run into an acquaintance.
