Volume 1, Chapter 59: A Gloomy Face

"Mo Peipei! You've slept with me for all these years without even giving birth to a single child. You're just a barren hen!"

"But I do have a child! That Su Mingyue is my own flesh and blood. You wouldn't have guessed it, right? I'm a man with a child!"

"And you will never have children again in this lifetime. You're destined to grow old alone, helpless and desolate, without even someone to send you off to your grave!"

"Don't think you'll be fine just by driving me out. None of you in this family are good people. I'm going to report you to the authorities and make your lives miserable! If my life is ruined, nobody else gets to have a good one either!"

Every single word drifted into the room, testing the limits of their patience. Mo Jun could bear it no longer and stepped...

"An Wen, leaving now gives you at least a shred of dignity." Irene knew that An Wen was a person of immense pride. Realizing she was merely a substitute, she would certainly refuse to stay by Lu Chen's side any longer and would keep as far away from him as possible.

Li Zhencai couldn't help muttering to himself. Hadn't he expressed himself clearly enough? As long as she lent him a hand, her father's company would naturally receive favors in the future. Wasn't he only dealing with her because she was useful? If she were useless, he wouldn't bother to give her the time of day.

Fu Xiuran did not want to disappoint An Wen, so he calmly analyzed the situation with her. An Wen also felt that what he said made sense, and thus agreed. She applied a light, simple makeup, changed into comfortable casual wear, and left the house with Fu Xiuran.

He told the police that he was merely passing by the teahouse and wanted to have some tea, when he happened to see Zhuoya's corpse. Because he knew Zhuoya beforehand, he kindly escorted her body home and told her family to call the police.

This single sentence successfully diverted Liu Mingyue's attention and simultaneously drew all of her wrath, provoking Liu Mingyue to roll up her sleeves, grab a whip, and chase Hao Ren to beat him up.

However, Xiao Mo was not satisfied yet. Having a defensive mind-cultivation technique and combat footwork did not mean his training was complete. There were still many flaws in him, and these were urgent matters that needed to be addressed.

Because he didn't even need to use the Heavenly Ten Soft Sword to defeat Lei Chuandeng, yet he chose to do so precisely to deter everyone and let them know the gap between themselves and him.

She gently knocked on Lu Zeyo's office door, and only after he permitted her to enter did she softly turn the handle and walk in.

Shang Wuqing called out to Xiaosa's name, his eyes filled with boundless worry, as if he longed to step forward and help.

Lu Chen maintained his physique exceptionally well, with not an ounce of surplus fat on his body. His muscles were lean, well-proportioned, and robust—far from the grotesque, intimidating look of a bodybuilder.

Meanwhile, Indra captured the nine tailed beasts of that era, forcibly using his ocular jutsu to awaken the ultimate-form Susanoo, and ultimately perished alongside Ashura.

"There are vacancies for the three deputy commander positions in the Ninja Department. Clan Head Akimichi possesses both the strength and the reputation required, and I believe he is fully capable of taking on the role." Before Nara Shikaku could finish speaking, Minato chimed in directly.

Within this darkness, one could distinctly perceive an ancient, lingering aura rushing from all directions toward the primeval heart-source lotus seed, seemingly pulling and tugging at it.

Following the parry, another fierce sword Qi immediately surged forward. Tang Yichen looked at the oncoming blade energy with an expression of utter calm.

True Qi erupted, and both saber and sword assimilated the power of ice and fire. Within the blade and sword glare, the undying flames were forced back, and the binding space was shattered as well.

After staying at home for a while, I felt I couldn't stay put any longer. I put on my clothes, purposely bought a pack of Furongwang cigarettes, and ran downstairs to Mu Meiqing's house to wait for her. To be honest, this was the only time in junior high school I ever waited for someone, and what's more, I waited for a very long time.

Mei'er instantly snapped out of her trance. She raised her head and looked at the cyan-robed emperor before her, whose deep gaze was fixed firmly upon her.

At the bottom of the pool, spring water suddenly surged upward, shooting straight to the top of the passage, reaching a height of a full four to five meters.

Burying her head deep into the soft quilt, the enchanting and picturesque fairyland flashed through her mind. For the past half month, she had been wandering across the netherworld with the Nether Emperor, looking at mountains and rivers—she had truly played to her heart's content. It was high time he returned to handle routine affairs.

I believe that after experiencing so much recently, she must know and trust everything He Xiao has done. If I put it to her this straightforwardly, she should be able to accept it, even though it would make her feel uneasy inside.

Yet the next second, the moment he turned around, a detached voice rang right beside his ear.

After exchanging greetings, Han Yao took Han Zhao's hand and went inside the house. Madam Han walked over to Mr. Han and gently pounded his chest with her clenched fist.

Clearly, something important was happening here; otherwise, figures like Sun Daoyuan and True Man Ziyang would not all be gathered together.

"The furnaces are filled with molten steel now; we can start casting!" At that moment, Zhang Wandong shouted loudly.

In the past, there was the Crown Prince's Tower, and behind the tower was a cave. Legend has it that the crown prince of the State of Guo once lived here and gathered herbs alongside Bian Que.

Yet at the same time, the impact of the bullets from Luke's firearm was not enough to halt the momentum of the face-hugger hound's charge. Even if every bullet sank into the creature's body, he would still be tackled to the ground by this vicious hound.

Except for the period when Shen Qingyan participated in the parenting variety show, during which their family of three was together, Pei Zhiyan hadn't taken a vacation for a very long time. After the Chinese New Year, Pei Zhiyan took Shen Qingyan and Pei Yi'an on a trip to Country M as a family of three.

Beneath the clothing, that was not a hand belonging to a human, but rather the limb of some unknown beast, looking as though it had been pieced together afterward.

Li He'an wasn't actually well-acquainted with Wen Muyu, but several of his hit songs had lyrics and compositions written by Queen.

Captain Peng said cheerfully, "Inspecting my ass! I'm a resident patient at the hospital now; I just couldn't stay put any longer so I came to check on everyone." The person in the passenger seat also waved at Captain Peng. Although Captain Peng wasn't a local police officer, after working here for some time, no one in the local police circles failed to recognize this anti-narcotics hero.

Her words echoed in his ears again and again. He was so shocked that his mouth hung slightly open, and his eye sockets gradually grew warm.

For a long time now, Ye Yuan had heard countless tales of how formidable the Fang (Wolf Teeth) unit was, and he genuinely wanted to witness it for himself.

Perhaps in the past, encountering such a situation would have left me completely dumbfounded, but things were different now. Because Wang Bing had experienced something similar before, with a brief association, I understood instantly.

She had only ever seen male leads blowing heart-shaped smoke rings in idol dramas, and she remembered being quite infatuated with that male lead at the time, thinking he was super cool.
