Chapter 49: The Grand Finale

Butler Wu felt that with Lawyer Niu present, there was no need for him to intervene; he calmly watched the drama unfold. Just as they had once shamelessly coveted his lady’s dowry, today they would suffer the same humiliation.

The maid of the Jiang family was rendered speechless under the relentless questioning from Lawyer Niu, quickly unraveling under pressure.

In less than half an hour, the malicious Yan from the Jiang family was transformed into Lady Yuan, a victim of deliberate framing. As for the mastermind, Lord Zhang, he still chose to leave some room for the Jiang family.

“You must be tired. Go back and rest,” Nan Yinglong said, pressing his forehead as he poured himself a cup of hot water.

Huo Xinyan shivered, too afraid to respond or refuse, only looking at Tan Jue with hopeful eyes.

As he passed by Lu Mingxuan, she caught a faint scent of soap pods—subtle yet refreshing and pleasant. Recalling his earlier smile, tinged with shyness yet warm and pure, like the winter sun, it filled her body and soul with comforting warmth.

After Ming’er left, Jingyi mentioned to me that Ming’er seemed to have feelings for Ling Xuan. I neither confirmed nor denied, brushing it off.

Her voice was inherently soft and alluring, irresistibly captivating. Now, mixed with a desperate, enchanting plea, it was enough to drive even the most rational and steadfast man to madness.

Hu Weiguo wore a look of sudden understanding as he smiled and greeted Yoshino. Zhao Zhenxian quickly introduced Hu Weiguo’s status to Yoshino, subtly implying that despite his youth, he was a formidable figure in Yangping.

After leaving the construction company, Xiao Yitian went straight to the city government to inform the staff that Yoshino and his group would be visiting Yan Shi Town that afternoon, inviting several city leaders to join the groundbreaking ceremony. Upon returning to the hotel, he reported the situation to Yoshino Jing Silang, then hurried to Yoshino Takako’s room.

Compared to his previously overly mature and calm words, these recent remarks once again shocked Gu Youran.

“Ah!” Dugu Ye let out a furious roar toward the sky, venting the faint but persistent pain within. The powerful gust stirred countless grains of sand and stones around him into a whirlwind.

As a result, Bai Yi’s spiritual power surged explosively, the Divine Spirit Pearl bursting forth with dazzling divine light, unleashing a vast wave of soul energy.

With a thunderous crash, the blazing crimson light instantly vanished; the massive figure shattered into countless fragments like a rain of stones.

The Golden-winged Roc, who had been closely observing Wu Siyou’s every move, gradually grew confident. An anxious opponent was bound to make mistakes, and when that moment came, his decisive strike would seal the victory.

After wandering through the flickering streets for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he suddenly stopped before a somewhat dilapidated mansion, slowly raising his eyes to the plaque above the door.

Upon opening the gate, outside stood Lei Xiu and Kong Yu. Just as Kong Yu was about to call out “Brother,” Lei Xiu swiftly covered his mouth first.

The Qin family held a prominent position among martial clans in the Jianghu world, so for this engagement, many prestigious families and sects came to offer their congratulations.

No sooner had the words fallen than a deafening explosion shattered the silence overhead, plunging the area into darkness. A demon king had self-destructed. The White Wolf had no choice but to stoop low and shield Lang Yu.

Feng Yiyu’s face flushed even deeper as she hastily pulled strands of black silk from behind to cover her chest, trying to conceal her alluring figure from the wolfish gaze.

The school building in the rain appeared hazy. Although it was just eight o’clock, the corridor was already crowded with students about to take their exams. Whispering among themselves, their youthful, tender faces all bore the same expression—nervousness.

Xing Yu never spoke without making a startling impression. Suddenly revealing such terrifying information left Lei Xiu struggling to process it, and thereafter, Xing Yu poured out even more details in one breath.
