Chapter 28: A Scheme from Her Own Mother

Lv Jia looked at the unconscious Lin Xilan, feeling no pity, only calculation. She knew well that the Zhou family was now guarding strictly against Zhou Yuheng; if she wanted to get ahead, she had no choice but to seize Lin Xilan. It was fate—everything was arranged by destiny. Lv Jia comforted herself with this thought.

...

Lv Jia heard someone knocking on the window and immediately...

Asheng was astonished, terrified, and furious to find that the one who had ambushed him was this unremarkable, thin, and weak youth. Unfortunately, afflicted by having his acupoints sealed, he could neither move nor speak. His eyeballs rolled back and forth, filled with helpless agitation and frustration.

Ye Tianya’s heart stirred, and he said coldly, "So you are from the Old Bear family by the Sand River. What are you doing here? Is this your Bear family tea house?" He did not know who the "Old Bear family by the Sand River" were, nor did he know the background of this tea house, but judging by the words and expressions of these two servants, they were likely local tyrants.

Where had that mature man gone, the one with the thick beard, usually so serious and prudent?

After two consecutive days of terror, anxiety, profound grief, and unbearable pain, having neither slept nor rested, he was utterly exhausted and weak. He collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.

The transition between two such extreme styles was simply too stimulating; Ming Tian felt his eyes roll back, and he fainted.

Moreover, at the time of their breakup, he had transferred all his assets to her, even though the two were not yet married... not yet married.

After Li Xusheng finished writing and posted the update, he did not pay further attention to the follow-up, though he imagined the response would be quite significant.

His opened eyes were somewhat blurry. Suddenly, he noticed someone curled up by the bedside, eyes closed, with dark circles under them. Wasn't this Anyang?

Jingtian: "No! Of course not! I like you because I want you to be happy, and I hope that one day you will like me too, even if only a little... How could that be the same as liking other things?"

On the other hand, the Monkey King became entangled with the Panther Shadow. The Panther Shadow was clearly at a disadvantage. He excelled in assassination and surprise attacks, and now, forced into a head-on battle with the Monkey King, he had no chance of victory. Of course, the Panther Shadow was doing this only to buy some time.

Therefore, Lelouch was not in a hurry. The starting point for the current steam engine was already higher than that of Earth, which was a good sign.

One must know that it had been no easy feat for them to persuade the Demon Flood Dragon Tribe to allow them to pass through.

"What is this? Third brother, you wouldn't be hiding anything else from us, would you?" Wu Yi felt that since such a massive secret had already been revealed, he could barely imagine what other, even greater secrets might remain.

With a slight wave of the Blue Charm Staff in Yi Shuiyue’s hand, a terrifying surge of spiritual power swept forth.

If Nevsky wanted to return to the Snow Mountain, he had to cross the territory of the dwarves. However, for many years, the dwarves and the barbarians had lived in peace, and since he was merely passing through, he assumed the dwarves would not raise any objections.

However, beyond those involved in this construction, he set a rule for future cultivators: to make the list, one's contribution points must reach a certain threshold.

Finally shaking off that momentary disadvantage, Xie Feng stared at the Qin siblings, who had formed a united front, and let out a sigh of relief, though his expression immediately became incredibly grave.

"Three high-grade, two mid-grade. Not bad, not bad at all." Su Yang indulged in a moment of self-satisfied intoxication.

Flag Soul, Ma Chao. Abilities: Battle Intent Protection—as the battle continues, defense increases steadily. Using a spear to block enemy attacks, he can avoid taking damage! Lion Helmet and Silver Armor—negates one enemy attack.

Cao Shao’s expression turned colder. His aristocratic upbringing made him swallow the words "bullshit," but he shot a sidelong glance at Sun Yurong that conveyed exactly the same meaning.

As a clever man, Liu Yidou naturally saw through the true thoughts in Wang Zhaojun’s heart at that moment.
