The day the paternity test results came out, Zhou Yuheng flew into a rage, while Lin Xilan was utterly bewildered.
“You schemed against me with them?”
It was hard for Zhou Yuheng not to suspect Lin Xilan. After all, he was the one who had suffered the greatest loss: six million was gone, and he had somehow become a father for no reason at all.
“I didn’t. I don’t even know what happened myself.”
Lin Xilan...
After all, Worry-Free Foods did not yet have a premium product line. Everything it produced belonged to the cheaper, mass-market range.
But because of that, the powerful figures of the Mist-Drowned Secret Realm came to know of him. His bizarre methods of action and formidable soul attacks had earned him such a title.
Once the Gengs had thought it through, they stopped pacing about. Turning around, they came to Cai Xue’s side. Geng leaned down and whispered his plan into her ear.
It charged at Zhang Yang again, but its speed had clearly slowed considerably. Zhang Yang did not lower his guard; something about it struck him as strange.
There were simply too many of them. Calling themselves a grain caravan might arouse suspicion, so they had temporarily converted the first ox cart to carry seeds. That made it reasonable enough for them to be traveling with so many workers.
The news delighted the man at first, but disappointment soon followed. According to Zhou Yu, the shopkeeper most likely was not even in this city. He had merely been passing through and casually saved the civilians present.

During that month, he and Wen Jiu got along fairly well, often exchanging thoughts on cooking.
Yet Wen Jiu was truly the most inscrutable person he had ever met, impossible to read or fathom. Even after listing several possible scenarios in advance, he still had little confidence.
The first things that caught Liang You’s eye were the various identification numbers. He casually opened one and discovered a post compiled by an online user from Sakura Country.
However, not long after he finished speaking, the commentator defending Yang Changlong began to look rather green, because Yang Changlong was forcing his way past another vehicle.
Shangguan Jun led everyone farther inside with practiced ease. They had not gone very far when they saw Xu Zhanying, Commander Xu, hurrying toward them.
Xiao Du had left the sect with the intention of killing Hua Chu, yet ultimately died in the wilderness himself. Hua Chu, who should have perished outside, had instead returned completely unharmed.
“No matter what the future holds, all I want is for these people under my protection to survive!” Huo Huang’s eyes were bewildered, and filled with pain.
Ever since Qiao San had grown familiar with Hua Chu, he often discussed artifact refinement with her. He had found much inspiration through her, while his wealth of experience allowed him to guide her in areas where her skills were lacking.
But just as B6 had said, they could not focus solely on filling their stomachs today while ignoring tomorrow. If they did that, the only fate awaiting them would be starvation.
Thus, whenever the father and son came into conflict and the matter reached the old master and madam, the one who was sure to be punished was Shangguan Xuhua, the father.
In the dream, it seemed that many people were pursuing the person ahead without relenting. Ning Yue felt that no matter how desperately she ran, she could not quite escape them.

In her previous life, she had protected that man far too much. As a result, in her father’s eyes, Qiao Mufeng’s character was exactly as she had described it.
Afterward, Xiao Yixin prepared to return to Spring Harmony Court. But before he had gone halfway, he sensed that someone seemed to be following him.
With that thought, Zhang Yixian stopped brooding. Rather than waste time guessing the outcome, he might as well spend it cultivating.
How could a proper young lady from a respectable family have learned pai gow and backgammon, let alone gambled money with Twelve?
I thought anxiously that if he did not come out soon, I would have to try using a spell and see whether I could call him out.
“You want to deal with this magical beast, but you don’t know where to begin?” Dark Night stood beside her, watching the enormous fish with a complicated look in his eyes.
Dandan was not shy in the least. When she saw that her father spoke only with others and paid no attention to her, she immediately burst into tears.
