Episode 052 Video

The next morning, before dawn had broken, Qu Wan was roused by two alarm bells. She frowned slightly and lazily opened her eyes, seeing the person beside her already rising.

“What time is it?”

Jiang Zeyu saw she had been awakened and tucked the quilt around her. “Five o’clock. It’s still dark outside. Go back to sleep.”

The world outside was frigid, and Qu Wan had no desire to get up. She curled up under the covers and drifted back to sleep.

In a vague haze, she seemed to hear Jiang Zeyu’s voice, and then, it felt as though he had left.

Qu Wan slept until after ten o’clock.

Yawning, she lay sprawled on the bed, reached for her phone on the bedside table, and saw a message Jiang Zeyu had sent more than two hours ago.

[I won’t be home for lunch. Eat something on your own. There’s a tablet and computer in the room.]

The imperial court session of the Three Kingdoms concerned the safety of the realm. He Xun and Shen Huayu were primarily responsible for the security of this assembly, and their days were so hectic their feet barely touched the ground.

He instinctively turned his head, and saw the one-eyed giant behind him trying to prevent the stone gate from closing.

“I wasn’t paying attention, my mind was all on tonight’s dinner with you. You look beautiful today—did you dress up especially for me?” Wu Hen remarked.

“It’s different. The golden beetle is fully grown. If it crawls onto someone’s face, that person will be controlled, and all the fungal power comes from that golden silk mask beetle.” Wu Hen explained.

This fellow had probably heard about my impending marriage to Miao Qianqian and rushed over, desperate to sound me out.

However, at the moment his consciousness completely faded, a tender, trembling voice echoed in his heart.

Lan Ning felt as though it wasn’t real. It was her first time experiencing such novelty—though she was truly seated in the palace, she still felt as if she were dreaming.

The two Yu brothers could now openly and systematically acquire cultivation treasures. Compared to their current situation, wouldn’t this be worlds apart?

Since the previous robbery, she understood the peril here and knew it would be difficult to survive alone.

Meng Shuqing’s room had been tidied up a little by An Bai, the rest would wait for the cleaning lady to take care of tomorrow.

Moreover, the bigger problem was Yao Ming. Yao Ming already had an advantage over Garnett, and if he switched to Bass, it was like playing against a guard.

The shouting echoed with such force that the newly mounted cavalry captain nearly tumbled from his horse. He struggled to rein in his mount, almost wanting to slap himself.

Had anyone else been in her situation, they might not have managed to be so strong.

Old Madam Lin went to the service center to have her hair done, carried the fish she bought and slowly entered the courtyard, curious as she approached the housekeeper circling on the ground.

Ares walked very close to Whitemane, then suddenly moved away. This action surprised Whitemane. She stared at Ares, now entirely unable to fathom what this man intended.

Navarro’s performance in the NBA was not outstanding, but as the king of Europe, his strength on the international stage was among the very best.

Zhang Guoqiang saw that his father was truly anxious and quickly began recounting everything that had happened from here to the county town. His storytelling was vivid, every detail clearly laid out.

Da Ji, hearing this was another of Lin Ji’s works, led the group over, just in time to see Lin Ji diligently weaving another shoe.

In the next moment, Dai Lin drew his pistol and, at close range, aimed at the larva’s head and fired. Green insect fluid immediately splattered across Dai Lin’s face.

“You did more. Last time, you said you’d have dinner with me, and when I messaged and called you after six, you didn’t reply. Anyone would think you’d vanished from the world.”

Xiao Liang returned home. The Cheng matron saw his injuries and cried again, asking what happened. Xiao Liang replied with the same words he used to placate the villagers. He didn’t want his mother to know he’d been beaten because he offended Xu Zhao, lest she worry for him.

Lin Jia Mu, left in the private room, wore a calm expression. His long, narrow eyes were dark, yet his emotions clearly stirred. His entire face, compared to his usual gentle elegance, now carried a marked coldness.

Upon hearing this, Quan Lu felt the weight of her worries from the night finally ease. She tilted her head and hummed softly, her eyes glimmering with pride as she met the serene gaze of Quan Wei.
