Chapter 124: The Troublemaker

Chapter 124: The Delinquents

The next morning, having scheduled a prenatal check-up at the Kangcheng Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Yang Xuan rose early to prepare breakfast.

However, upon entering the kitchen, she discovered someone had beaten her to it. She was quite surprised…

"I told you! How could you possibly be a murderer? You're such a fool. Why would you turn yourself in? You didn't have to do that for Xiaoyong!" Gao Yue exclaimed loudly.

He tested the power of the ability and was quite satisfied. Although it wasn't as terrifying as opening the Eight Gates of Dunjia, the boost it gave to his combat prowess was still staggering; it was an all-encompassing enhancement of his physical form.

"They are so spirited." Huo Xinyu felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, her eyes unable to take it all in.

They pulled a thick stack of metal playing cards from their trousers, the cards stained with an unknown purple liquid.

Pan Datou nodded, then gradually furrowed his brows. Having news within his grasp but being unable to act on it left him feeling irritated.

Wang Feng moved with agility, climbing up to Liu Yong in a few swift motions to help him pull his foot free from the pipe.

They all recognized Zero-One-Zero and had even crossed paths with him before, but they hadn't won; he had single-handedly taken them all down.

Despair spread through the surroundings, and Muriel felt her heart turn to ash. It turned out that everything had been her own wishful thinking; even as commoners, these people were incapable of standing by her through thick and thin.

She confessed to all living beings that from the beginning of creation, it was decreed that natural disasters and blessings would coexist. Life is a gift from heaven, and heaven shall eventually reclaim it; the cycle of life and death is the way of the universe.

Qian Ling desperately wanted to find a notebook to record this scene so that when she saw Ji Haochu again, she could treat him exactly the same way.

Once a house was built, wealthy families would plaster the interior with cement, while those less fortunate would use newspapers. The villagers were incredibly envious and would proactively come to visit, hoping to share in the good fortune.

"What, go to West Mountain Temple!" Murong Xuan had been to West Mountain Temple before, though that was years ago when he accompanied the Empress. He still had an impression of the place; despite being a royal temple, it was far from the palace and quite desolate.

Looking at the finely crafted wooden bowl and smelling the enticing fragrance of the spirit spring water, Mu Nanqi’s eyes flickered, but in the end, he asked nothing.

They spent the entire afternoon practicing marching in step, turning at a halt, running in formation, standing at attention, and goose-stepping.

However, this made it difficult for everyone to suspect her as the killer. After all, she had a good relationship with Taohong, so no one would think she would secretly harm her. If Su Yuemei had been the one poisoned, everyone would have suspected themselves first. Thinking of it this way, Qiu Lanxiang felt a strange sense of relief.

"Old man, do not be insolent. For that remark alone, I could have your head right now." Magistrate Ji, not expecting such rudeness from the old man, could not help but be enraged.

Xiaoxiao loved him like this; it felt as if they had returned to their early days of dating. She shifted her body to find a comfortable position in his arms and drifted into a sweet sleep.

Inside the beam of light, just as Di Mochen had said, Yun Huang and Yue Lianzhu entered one after the other, only to see Seventeen’s body dissolving into stardust.

Upon seeing the egg, a suspicion faintly formed in Shi Tian’s heart: this must be the snake egg condensed by the Ten-Headed World-Swallowing Python.

Only upon seeing Old Li’s corpse was she able to arrange everything that followed in such an orderly fashion.

The key was that Emperor Qin Ming had specifically ordered an investigation into Qi Yi’s salary and income, and to his surprise, his earnings were the lowest of them all.

Feeling the pain, Wen Nian did not dodge or resist. Like an obedient doll, she didn't even knit her brows for a second.
