Chapter 43: Beauty Leads Men Astray

Qu Wan wanted to try the desserts here, so she followed the waiter straight into the kitchen, carefully selected a few exquisite pastries, and carried the plate out. As soon as she stepped out, she saw a man and a woman behaving intimately as they passed by. Qu Wan stared at the man’s back, feeling he looked somewhat familiar. Still holding her plate, she moved forward and happened to see the two getting into the elevator ahead. Qu Wan caught a glimpse of the man’s face and saw him leaning down to kiss the woman beside him. Su Changlie. Qu Wan pulled at the corners of her mouth, feeling disgusted. She carried the desserts back to the table.

Jiang Zeyu also put down his phone. “Do you have something to take care of?” “No, I was just—”

“You’re using Wei Yan’s feelings for you to make him trouble me at every turn. By doing this, you’re only hurting him. He never had much of a good impression with the teachers to begin with. If things escalate because of a moment’s anger, it will ruin his future,” Yan Zhi Mo said.

When the Great Northern Bear Emperor heard that the Dragon Kingdom had made a breakthrough in dark matter research, he frowned in secret. Had he not considered that a stunning young woman wandering into this remote wilderness was unlikely to be harmless? “Did the Emperor Ziwei not feed you enough? Are you lacking in food or drink?” Lulu saw her scrambling up onto the table with both hands and feet, as if fleeing from a disaster.

Zhang Shan shouted loudly, bracing himself and unleashing the strongest move of his Cang Lang Fist; the force of his punch was astounding.

In today’s society, perhaps only deep in the mountains do such pristine, rustic rooms remain. Chen Fan truly felt that the current state of the Teng Qin Group’s development was worrying. Replacing Old Ma was, first and foremost, an utterly foolish decision.

Jiang Huailu instantly turned into a transparent soul, pleading, “Please.” Her gaze held a hint of hope, and her coquettish demeanor made Lu Huaijiang’s heart tremble ever so slightly.

Zhang Chuntao lay in the carriage. She wasn’t particularly sleepy at first, but as she listened to the wind blowing through the pines outside, the occasional calls of birds in the woods, and, far off, even the howls of wild beasts, along with the low voices of the patrol outside the camp, she drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

Along the journey, Mistress Fang heard that Zhang Chuntao had suffered a lot in the past and her health was severely depleted. She’d only spent two years recuperating, and was far from fully recovered, so Fang took the initiative to say that she could make all kinds of nourishing soups to help restore Zhang Chuntao’s strength.

At that moment, two vans suddenly drove up, and three or four dozen people jumped out in a rush.

“In this line of work, we can’t reveal the employer’s name,” the driver said, mustering his courage.

Meng Rou, thinking of her mother-in-law’s death and the loss of all her backing, knew she couldn’t stay in the capital any longer. Furious, she left for Hong Kong.

“In this life, I only hope, Master, that you won’t disappear silently as you did in the last,” Si Tu Yingxiu, seeing her master remain silent, finally gathered her courage, reached out two fingers to grasp her master’s sleeve, and spoke softly.

“As the name implies, it’s a zombie hidden inside the wall,” Li Sicheng answered without even looking up.

The four pursuers were unwilling to give up and quickly employed their secret tracking technique, which had never failed them before. But this time, it was useless; it simply didn’t work.

The three had just turned around when a sweet, coquettish voice behind them startled them so much that goosebumps broke out all over.

His power and prestige all stemmed from Zhang Yong’s status. Yet, no matter how powerful Zhang Yong was, he was still just a favored eunuch—nothing more than a servant before the emperor’s beloved consort, not even worth mentioning. Thus, Zhang Rong dared not complain about such treatment.

With the methods of those from the Celestial Pureland, it was only a matter of time before the Sacred Plan was discovered in the Holy Court. When that happened, a bloody revolt would surely follow.

Though they’d signed indentures, and had been sold to Xiangman Brothel before coming here to train, most of the girls still preferred the latter. However, the teacher here was a handsome young man, which made many of the girls uneasy—they would avoid him whenever possible, not daring to meet his gaze.
