Chapter 36: The Newlywed Bride's Compassion for Her Husband's Unyielding Spirit Despite His Physical Disability

Lu Youyou remained frozen in an incredibly awkward posture.

Gu Qingye supported her, his eyes filled with bewilderment. "How long have you been sitting there?"

Lu Youyou shook her head, unsure herself. "What time is it now?"

"Five-thirty."

Gu Qingye sighed helplessly. Could she really have been sitting there without moving the entire time?

Lu Youyou was equally astonished; she had been writing for nearly six hours. A thick stack of manuscript paper lay on the table—the result of her afternoon's labor.

Ghost Envoy Rengui: "If the Samsara Mirror shows no reaction, it proves he has already been reincarnated. Do you happen to know your father's name?"

Facing the incoming blade, Wei Fan shattered it with a single punch, relying solely on his internal energy without even needing to employ Armament Haki.

Huo Sinian was only seventeen and a half, yet she already had a boyfriend! How could such a thing have happened without a whisper of rumor? How could it be that the other noble families remained completely unaware?

Things did not go as planned. The three of them had wandered back and forth across most of Queens, yet they still came up empty-handed.

During dinner, Song's parents conversed happily with Wen Yan, while only Song Min and Song Hao, adhering to the principle of "no talking while eating," kept their heads down and silently shoveled food into their mouths.

Ye Xuan was also quite curious about this black dog. He had examined it with his spiritual vision, but the creature appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary hound.

"Strangers, did you knock? Do you have an invitation to attend this banquet?" The ghost Ryan attacked Varimathras first, but it was like an egg striking a stone—he shattered instantly.

Mo Ran looked at Zhang Dong in surprise. He had always assumed Zhang Dong possessed a carefree, indifferent nature and lacked an understanding of political maneuvering. Yet, everything Zhang Dong had just said and done was aimed at finding a way to suppress Zhao Lei, which truly earned him a new level of respect.

His words were ambiguous, as if he were somewhat reluctant to be with Xia Anzhi. The reason he asked her to fetch the household registration book was merely to force her to retreat in the face of difficulty.

Song Min scrambled up in despair. Without even putting on his glasses, he stumbled out the door and headed toward the kitchen.

"Shall I take that as a compliment?" Xiao Yao tilted his eyes, offering her a cheeky, lopsided grin. He shamelessly flattered himself, the playful glint in his eyes unmistakable.

Yet, she could not understand how, in just one month, he had fallen into such a wretched state.

"Huangquan hasn't appeared yet. Was it he who helped us through the passage earlier?" Li Xiaoshang knew she couldn't possibly be lucky enough for the great formation to give her the green light; there had to be a reason behind it.

This time, although every step through the boundless sea of blood was fraught with danger, her heart remained strangely calm, as if she had walked this path thousands of times before.

Pei Yingshi gazed at Hua Mian, his eyes brimming with complex emotions. Hua Mian returned the look with a lingering smile, then shifted her gaze to Ling Yue, who sat beside Hua Feiyan on the high throne. She found him watching her with deep, enigmatic eyes.

In the past, Mr. Wolf had been fond of her while she remained resistant; now, she was the one worried that Mr. Wolf might be scared off by her mother.

Kang Muning had managed to procure two fine steeds from somewhere. They were deep-chested with long legs, slender bones, and well-defined tendons and joints. Their muscles rippled in long, taut bands, and their coats were as red as glowing embers, without a single stray hair of another color. They stood about a zhang long and seven to eight chi tall, capable of running over a hundred kilometers in a single hour.

Xiao Shuyi curled her lips, finding it rather amusing. Her unscrupulous master became deathly cold whenever he was serious, and when he turned sharp-tongued... well, he was the type who would never let a matter rest.

The group seemed to have entered a large estate, which was incredibly spacious. Despite the intense fighting between the three of them following the old nun's appearance, they had caused little disturbance, and the people on the ship seemed oblivious. Many were busy at work, and Liu Hanyan caught sight of several disciples of the Sun Sect, though she had no time to go over and speak with them.

She had merely forgotten that the original owner of her body, a native of Jiangcheng, would not find the heavy snow particularly novel.

What surprised him even more was that the marriage alliance between the Feng and Lu families had not been Feng Yanyi's wish at all. She had been deeply in love with Black Panther at the time and had even planned to elope with him to resist the union.
