Chapter 68: Someone Who Always Loses at Truth or Dare
Inside the restroom, the atmosphere was charged with tension. Fu Xiaotao leaned against the wall, still shaken, while Fu Siqiao stood in front of her like a small, protective beast, glaring fiercely at Fu Hesheng.
Just then, steady and unhurried footsteps echoed, and Xu Zhixing entered the restroom with an elegant stride. She wore a well-tailored black dress, her hair neatly swept back, with exquisite makeup and a refined demeanor. She resembled a radiant black pearl, exuding a chilling yet...
He turned his head to see Mu Hong gripping his ankle tightly, staring up at him with a hideous expression.
Description: Legend has it that in the distant primeval world, flood dragons were ancient guardian beasts, creatures on the verge of evolving into true dragons. Later, during a great upheaval of heaven and earth, flood dragons were domesticated by fierce beasts into malevolent creatures endowed with immense power. In the primeval world, the only beings capable of rivaling the dragon clan were the flood dragons.
"Brother, what on earth are you trying to say? I know there are some things outsiders shouldn't know, and outsiders shouldn't ask, but you've been rambling on all night without ever getting to the point. You just keep going in circles," Qin Feng finally couldn't help blurting out. This wave of negative energy made him feel thoroughly uncomfortable all over.
"Being able to know you is a matter of fate. Senior Wuyuan, please take good care of him for me," Wu Ruoshi said, then turned and walked out, heading straight down the mountain.
"It is our honor as sisters to join Young Master Zhang for a seat, but... unfortunately, we already have other arrangements for the evening," Meng Yanyan said.
Two years ago, Huo Bao finally managed to seek approval from the head steward of the General's Mansion in the capital, asking Lv Xiang'er for permission to marry Lühui. Lv Xiang'er did not have the habit of playing a casual matchmaker, so she gave Lühui three days to consider. Only after receiving Lühui's nod of agreement did she host a wedding for Lühui and Huo Bao.
The accountant didn't dare to make a sound either, lowering his head and biting his lip, looking as though he had suffered the greatest grievance in the world.
Wang Rui departed with his lingering reluctance and anger. Xu Zheng stared blankly at his sallow face, his eyes already brimming with hot tears.
Although Tiansheng was currently eager to carefully study his own Azure Heaven Realm and explore the similarities and differences between it and the universe before him, he didn't dare disobey the old man's words. He could only agree verbally and hurried to the old man's side.
Yet the undercurrents between Shen Yu and Chuxiu were so glaringly obvious. Especially Shen Yu—after surviving that terrifying moment of falling from the building, his calmness was far too abnormal. This was clearly not a reaction a normal person should have, and there was only one possible explanation: pretense.
In fact, Yan Rong did not know that this was not Duan Jingheng's enemy, but rather a debt of the heart.
Ever since they were reduced to their current plight three years ago, they had rarely even touched satin, let alone silk.
Ming Huai had spent years making his way in places of pleasure and leisure, so manipulating a timid and quiet person like Han Chan was still as easy as turning the palm of his hand.
This was the power of a domain—a formidable capability to fight enemies above one's rank, omnipotent and all-pervading.
"Done!" Yan Rong wrote fluently across a large page, then handed the list to the maid beside her, instructing her to deliver it to Madam Wang.
At this thought, Fang Hui's mind eased slightly. He looked at Dai'er sitting beside him, a pale blue light screen appearing within his field of vision.
Only the monkey sat beside Lin峰 like a child, one of its hands still hugging Lin Feng's thigh.
Listening to Li Huaijin's question, Hao Sijun saw that wedding photo and the dream from just moments ago flash through his mind, his mood sinking heavily. To be honest, he had never expected that facing all of this would provoke such a strong reaction from him.
From his younger sister's accident to Ye Ruxue's encounters, this seemingly calm and harmonious society actually harbored hidden dangers. Only after a fierce contention for supremacy would one truly know who was friend and who was foe.
Liu Linglong felt her blood boiling. A family that had saved the world—what an incredible sense of pride that was.
