Volume 1, Chapter 43: Mother and Daughter

Zhuang Fan hurried down the rugged and muddy mountain path.
Along the way, his heart surged with emotions that were difficult to calm.
At times like this, he especially hated himself. Sometimes he felt that lying in bed looking neither human nor ghost not only rendered him incapable of doing any work, but also dragged Madam Liu down to suffer along with him.

"Humph, I don't care! You took great advantage of me today. Tell me, how are you going to make it up to me later?" Shen Hao pouted, wearing an expression as if she were the one I had bullied, leaving me somewhat speechless. I knew this girl's personality well enough to know she wouldn't feel wronged over just that remark; she was clearly just trying to give me a hard time.

"Yes, as your host, it is indeed necessary for me to summarize and analyze your behavioral patterns," Erfen replied truthfully, showing no mercy to Qin Fen.

"Pardon me. For good people, I generally charge nothing; for despicable people, I generally charge a very high fee!" Sun Qian shrugged indifferently and said.

"Help me wipe my body." He stared at her, his cold eyes devoid of any emotion.

Hua Tuo never made boastful claims when treating patients; if he could cure them, he certainly would, and even if he could not, he would still do his utmost.

"Ahem... In such sultry weather, you actually suggest gathering some dry firewood to start a fire. Are you perhaps feeling cold?" Wang Kang said, utterly speechless.

"Rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter properly!" Sun Qian said, a murderous intent hidden deep within his brows.

Qin Yibai turned various possibilities over and over in his mind, finally concluding that there was only one: these pyramids were array formations built by certain cultivators in ancient times to achieve a specific purpose.

When all of this was done, the members of the imperial clan departed, leaving only the elderly clan patriarch and the third uncle behind. Ye Yulin invited them to drink. Old Madam Ye returned to the elegant courtyard, while Ye Shouxin went off to tally his newly acquired assets.

This gauze dress was specially made by Ezaki Yoruco for Chana, specifically for her to wear today. Such an adorable Chana, matched with such a gorgeous gauze dress, made her undoubtedly the most wonderful Chana in the entire world.

If she continued to be this mischievous, he could not guarantee whether, before returning to that room just now, he could restrain the fire within his body and avoid taking her right there in the hallway.

Generally speaking, Shuhuo High School only granted monthly leaves, but half days off were given on both Saturdays and Sundays. Although students were not allowed to leave the campus, staying in the dorms or around was still better than being cooped up in the classroom.

Having drained the fine wine in his cup in one gulp, Feng Yin happily thought about pouring himself another when he felt a slight stir behind him, like a gentle breeze brushing past. At that very instant, every single hair on Feng Yin's body stood completely on end with a rustle.

Lord Chu passed through the spiritual mist and led them to an arched, lofty gate half-hidden in the fog. Right outside the door, the black-robed joint cultivator departed earlier in the company of Uncle Lu.

However, upon hearing this, tears welled up directly in Mo Yanhuan's eyes, making her feel even sadder and more aggrieved. After giving her own cousin a resentful look, she cast a pitiful glance at Gu Yucheng, wearing an expression that seemed to say you have abandoned me.

"The funds can be transferred at any time, but can you actually find the seeds for these medicinal herbs?" Ye Yulin quickly pursued the question.

In fact, before starting the stone-cutting machine every time, the staff would always ask whether the visitor knew how to cut stones. Stone-cutting was not overly complicated, but it was still skilled work. Generally speaking, the booth owners or those who brought guests along would not even be asked this question.

When Li Yang had asked him just moments ago, he hadn't paid much attention. For one thing, his goods were indeed pre-arranged for delivery; for another, Li Yang was simply too young. Young people always gave an impression of unreliability. This wasn't a transaction worth one or two hundred, nor one or two thousand, but rather one or two hundred thousand.
