Chapter 30: Wants a Kiss
Little Su Hua saw himself in the video and asked curiously, "Auntie, did you record us?"
"Yes, Auntie is keeping this video for herself, so I can watch it whenever I want."
"Then we want to watch it together!"
"Alright, we'll watch it together." Su Xingwan stroked their hair.
The eyes of the two little ones lit up instantly; they decided that from now on, they would always watch videos with their aunt.
"Time to sleep, babies," Su said.
"...Where did you learn all these lines?" Cheng Lingzhi pushed him away and said softly, though a close look would reveal a faint pink flush on the tips of her ears—she was clearly embarrassed by his sweet talk.
That evening, Cheng Lingzhi received a call from Xiao Wei, who wanted to visit her while she was ill. After a moment's thought, Cheng Lingzhi gave them her address.
The snow on the ground melted bit by bit, only to freeze again, as if shed by the tears of a butterfly.
The Ouyang brothers had failed to see how Long Feiyun made his move, and even Jin Buhan, who had been waiting on the sidelines, had missed it entirely!
Hearing footsteps, An Yiming turned back to look, then turned away again, remaining silent as before.
"Is that so? Then let's put it to the test." Upon hearing Dongfang Yijian's words, Long Wu’s gaze turned icy. A handful of flying daggers appeared in her hands, held between her slender, fair fingers. Just as she was about to strike, a voice stopped her.
"Do you know how many years I have been in here?" These were the first words Tian Yi spoke. It was clear from this single sentence that he had been harboring a deep sense of grievance for a long time.
The Yaksha held Ni Heng hostage while its own movements remained completely unhindered; it darted through the dense mountain forest like a fish in water. Ziyi and Yunchang struggled to keep up. Ziyi drew his bow and arrow, wanting to attack from a distance, but fearing he might hit Ni Heng, he could only keep chasing, hoping the creature’s stamina would fail before his own.
His shoulder-length hair scattered in the wind, paired with a composed, noble shade of blue-purple and pure white. With his handsome features, everything about him seemed to demand the word "elegant." Even in the midst of this high-speed pursuit, his expression remained remarkably calm and collected.
Gao Yixuan walked in, his pace weary from travel. He stood by the bed, craning his neck to carefully observe Cheng Lingzhi, who was still fast asleep. The oxygen mask had already been removed, though she was still receiving an IV drip.
Liu Qianru now lived with Diao Chan every day, and Diao Chan carefully comforted her emotions. One day, Diao Chan called Li Dian into her office alone and gave him a harsh reprimand.
In this way, the minor grudges Liu Ji had harbored toward Yu Lixiang and Zhang Anna basically vanished, and consequently, both Yu Lixiang and Zhang Anna were one after another brought to bed by Liu Ji.
"Isn't it right here?" Mentioning the business at hand, they stopped joking. Together with Jia Xu and the others, he presented several drafts. These documents clearly outlined the lines of advance, the number of soldiers in each legion, the amount of provisions required, and the number of carriages and horses to be deployed... It was a detailed account of the Jin army's plan for this southern expedition.
He understood in his heart that he was now the only hope for the Ancestor of Yuxu Palace, so he did not feel particularly worried or afraid until all three opportunities had been exhausted.
Father and Mother Lin had actually noticed long ago that Lin Qingxuan’s words and actions were different from before, but they assumed it was due to his head injury and did not find it strange.
As for the three hundred and twelve Sacred Fire Guards sent by the Sacred Fire Sect to assassinate Liu Ji, the vast majority were either killed or captured alive, with only a few managing to escape in the chaos.
Ke Xiangnan was now in a difficult position; whether or not to storm the Heavenly Gate had become a problem. If he continued to push through, would he become a laughingstock even if he succeeded?
"That is not for me to decide, but for the buyers. If placed in an auction, it could start with a base bid of ten thousand Tianshan coins," the old man laughed.
