Chapter 101: Diao Chan’s Request (Please Subscribe and Vote)

“Thank you, Brother Ren, for the compliment. But that Diao Chan is willful and mischievous; before I could go to meet her, she vanished without a trace. Now my hands are empty—how could I possibly bring the beauty home?” Cao Xin spread his hands and smiled.

Diao Chan’s cheeks flushed as she sipped her tea. “Since General Cao is friends with Lady Cai Zhaoji and knows that Diao Chan is an ill-omened woman, why do you still wish to take her as a concubine? Are you not afraid of being implicated and inviting disaster upon yourself?”

“Haha, no matter,” Huang Chiyan frowned. Could this be the very power base of Zulu Xing? Indeed, there must be someone pulling the strings behind the land of darkness.

An Xia had thought that a family meal would be lively and warm, but unexpectedly, everyone seemed to adhere to the rule of ‘no talking while eating or resting.’ Not a word was spoken—the meal was surprisingly dull.

A few days ago, she had seen on Bai Nuo’s social circle that he desired a certain stone and asked if anyone had it.

After a while, Yun Tianheng arrived at the entrance of the grand city swimming pool, glanced up at the three large characters on the door, and murmured to himself.

Yun Taoyao originally intended to ignore him as he passed by, but upon seeing him, a cruel thought arose in her heart.

Under the influence of the Vermilion Bird’s manipulation of the forces of heaven and earth, the ship sped away like an arrow, leaving the merchant vessel far behind.

For the past three years, he had been like an emotionless laborer, burdened with so much, constantly moving forward under great weight.

Now, some guests began to show signs of panic, as if eager to flee the establishment immediately.

The Vermilion Bird needed time to calm herself; she had to understand the full situation and devise a solution.

With the roar of dragons, two fiery divine dragons surged forth from behind Huang Chiyan, one circling to his left and the other to his right.

Tang Luo initially wanted to say, “Let me cripple his limbs,” but reconsidered—after all, he was Wu Lao’s disciple, so perhaps just maim one hand.

Hearing Old Lady Ye describe the stone gate as if recounting treasured knowledge, my heart leapt—could it be that she had been here before?

Subsequently, the raw stones were unwrapped; like those in the Jade Dynasty, they all contained top-quality jadeite, including two pieces selected for Huang Zhong.

Everyone simply agreed that good things should not be spoken at length and waited patiently for the right moment, as golden powder was prepared carefully.

“Young Master, you should rest as well. If the Young Madam awakens, she surely wouldn’t want to see you like this. Her greatest wish is to cure your illness,” Pine Branch urged Su Yuan Zhu.

I surmised that if any ill fortune were to occur, it would likely befall San Pangzi and Tuo Xi.

Tang Luo’s thoughts aligned with Han Ruobing’s; they both suspected that the fat man was deliberately inflating the price.

It was not only Wu Yanxiong who sought vengeance—he had also lost three close relatives and was likewise helpless.

“Husband, tonight’s troubles were all Wan’er’s fault. If not for me, you and Miss Lin wouldn’t have come to such a quarrel,” Dantai Wan’er said softly, her tone tinged with sincere apology.

The old man rummaged in his pocket but found nothing but a handkerchief, growing anxious to the point of tears.

Displaying no trace of anger or joy, remaining calm in adversity, and handling matters with composure—how could such a person be merely an actor?

Now, Fang Chang has prepared for another three months to participate in the winter hunt, undoubtedly strengthening his foundation and resilience, which will greatly aid his advancement in the Pillar Realm.

After all, there is no brother who does not cherish his own sister, even if she is a heartthrob to thousands.

It was already three-thirty in the afternoon; no matter what, it was too late for me to join the afternoon competition. This was truly news worth celebrating.

Qing Tian pushed open the door. Though the location was somewhat remote, the surroundings exuded a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.
