Chapter 32: Do Not Hold Her Back

Zhou Yuheng did not lose his temper; he simply asked calmly, “Do you think you’re worth it?”

Lin Xilan nodded confidently. “Of course I am. I’m a priceless treasure. If I divorce you, the line of suitors waiting outside would stretch all the way to the Louvre.”

Lin Xilan exaggerated, as she often did. She was stubborn and had a bit of a competitive streak.

...

Hadn’t the Heavenly Emperor said? It was Liuli who reported the matter, who brought him to the celestial court. So where was Liuli now?

Li Qiuhan hesitated for a moment, glanced at the knife in Lang Tianyi’s hand, and finally began unbuttoning his shirt. Beneath the white, intricately embroidered lace lingerie, a pair of full, firm jade peaks rose and fell rapidly, enticing and stirring desire. Gazing upon the exquisite body he had long dreamed of, Lang Tianyi’s mouth watered uncontrollably.

Cui Yuan thought to himself, no wonder the eldest prince obeyed him to the point of risking his life—he was slippery and elusive. If anyone could find out where Xie Hao was, it would be him.

Li Qigong strolled leisurely, but gradually his steps unconsciously led him toward the rear office. An itch in his heart was hard to resist as he wondered silently: What is she doing at this very moment?

The Yellow Dragon Emperor’s lips twitched slightly. After a sheepish reply, he lifted his severely wounded eldest son and flew back.

“Go do what you must,” Haotian’s voice was cold and indifferent, lacking any sense of affection, as if the term “adoptive father” had been used in vain.

Speaking of which, teasing the emperor was risky business. One misstep could lead to disaster. Fortunately, she was clever enough to know when to stop. Upon noticing his changing expression, she quickly shifted the topic.

The Heavenly Star Sect was a third-rate faction under the Imperial Consort Star. It was said to have been founded only twenty to thirty thousand years ago by a cultivator who ascended from the mortal realm more than twenty thousand years prior.

Suddenly, the underworld of America erupted into chaos, with sirens blaring throughout New York all night long.

The position of Grand General was earned through battle, not inherited. How could Xie Jian be foolish enough to abandon his legitimate son in favor of an unborn child who might never even be born? Their alliance was marriage, not enmity.

Xi’er’s face was numb. Spitting two mouthfuls of fresh blood, her eyes vacant, she walked out of the office.

This time, she remained silent, kneeling quietly on the ground as beads of sweat fell to the floor.

Han Bing rarely saw Lin Yumeng blush, so he glanced at her a few more times. Annoyed, Lin Yumeng angrily stomped on him, finally waking up. Someone nearby helped explain on her behalf.

Upon hearing this, Tang Feng had no choice but to identify himself. Bowing, he said, “I am Tang Feng, son of the ‘Skillful Hands Tang’ Tang Fuhai. I was invited by Uncle Li to assist in preparing and developing the Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic.” At the same time, he presented a jade pendant entrusted to him by his father.

“We naturally have our methods. We’ll find a way to control a few piranhas to carry us across the river,” Wan Qinghe said with a stern face, as if others owed him a great debt. Wan Yifeng dared not say more and directed his disciples to the riverbank to figure out how to manage the piranhas.

Sometimes, Tao Hong would be so offended by her cold treatment and disregard that she would fly into a rage, kicking over the basin where she washed clothes and snorting before storming off.

“This gift is actually quite difficult. I wonder if Old Master Su and Brother Yaohui can handle it,” Xiao Yunfei said with a light laugh.

Old Master Li pushed several business deals aside, focusing solely on Madam Li’s funeral, crying like a fountain.

Originally, Chen Jingyang had been in the bedroom working on the computer, but after Chen’s mother attended a health lecture, she came back and cleared all the computers out of the bedroom.

The Yellow Emperor bowed slightly to accept a cup of clear water. Taking a sip, he immediately felt a refreshing coolness throughout his body and a significant easing of his recent fatigue. At that moment, the water seemed unlike any ordinary cup—extraordinarily sweet and invigorating.
