Chapter 056 Why Should I Listen to You? I Listen to Myself

Avoiding her injured spot, he pressed his knee beneath her lower back, holding the back of her neck with one hand to keep her immobilized. Then, freeing up his other hand, he took out a chain about a meter long, locked one end around her wrist, and secured the other end to the foot of the bed.

I was left speechless by this explanation. I did not know whether it was meant to offer comfort or carried some other motive; I only knew that this explanation somehow made me feel a little better inside... For reasons unknown... truly unknown.

"Even if they are elders, they have no right to lash out and hit people without sorting out right from wrong!" Mu Nanyi suddenly spoke up, her voice cold.

Although leukemia is curable nowadays, without a suitable bone marrow donor, a human life remains extremely fragile.

Su Hao anticipated that he would dodge to the side, so while still in mid-air, he fiercely kicked the man directly in the back. From a distance, it looked as if the burly man had intentionally offered his back for the kick.

"This is man-made!" According to the historical records of Hengyu Pass, earthquakes had never occurred here. Why was there such a violent commotion all of a sudden?

"Hmph! Since open methods don't work, we'll resort to underhanded tactics. I refuse to believe that if we launch both overt attacks and hidden arrows at once, he can still dodge them!" Wang Hao said fiercely once again.

Furthermore, she had only agreed to give Lu Yaozhi a chance to try things out; she had never said they would definitely end up together.

The third evening of the appointment between Song Huaijing and An Yuda happened to coincide with the Entrepreneur Club's annual gala.

Looking at Xu Nuo's breathtakingly gorgeous face, a trace of reluctance surfaced in Ding Yao's eyes. He put down the anesthetic in his hand and picked up a hypnotic tool, placing it right before Xu Nuo's eyes.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A colossal vine—thick enough that it would take several strong men to wrap their arms around it—suddenly lashed out from afar. Along the way, it crushed countless trees to death, giving Chen Xing a massive fright. He hurriedly threw himself aside to dodge, only to find another equally massive vine lashing in from a completely different direction.

"How come everyone is thanking everyone else, but no one thanks me?" Xiao Ao raised his glass, squeezed in between the two of them, arched an eyebrow at An Qin, and shot her a wink.

Not far away, Emil, the dean of the medical school, slowly walked away. He had witnessed Luo Zhiyuan's impromptu emergency treatment firsthand. Samir Khan's face was slightly flushed as he followed closely behind.

"I don't want to return to the mortal world anymore. When you go back this time, please help me find a nice place to bury my dad's ashes, and then I'll have no more attachments left." She buried her face in my arms and burst into uncontrollable tears.

"Since you've come as guests, shouldn't we first adjust our respective mindsets before continuing our conversation?" As the semi-host and the chief organizer of this 'memorial service', Cheng Fan felt he ought to step forward and speak a word of justice.

Nanmen Zun sat formally on the sofa, with six or seven men in suits standing opposite her. They were discussing something, but sensing her approach, they simultaneously halted their conversation and turned their gazes toward her all at once.

"Look everyone, Stein has woken up!" cried an adventurer responsible for taking care of Stein, and immediately everyone crowded around, chiming in with overlapping words.

"Who are you? Why have you sneaked into my Holy Sword Sect, and what is your true motive? If you cannot give me a clear explanation, I won't be polite with you!" Jian Wuxing stared at the dark figure before him, his voice deep and solemn.

Yet the moment she finished speaking, she noticed the Empress's body tremble slightly. Raising her gaze to meet the Empress's eyes, she found them deep and laden with a complex array of emotions as they rested upon her.

"It feels like half my body is burning hot while the other half is freezing cold, numb and itchy, rather uncomfortable." Song Ying shifted her body with a hint of awkwardness.

Yun Chi touched the trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, feeling helpless and resentful. She knew that the gears of fate had finally begun to turn.

Linglong raised her head and looked over. She gazed for a long time before she realized that there was no older sister in front of her at all, but rather Ji Chengfeng.

Li Guang understood. But since they were already at a disadvantage, what difference could it make to their adverse situation even if it turned into a team martial arts tournament?

At the intersection of two streets in the middle of Stone Rock City, countless cultivators swarmed the surrounding area, continuously discussing the few figures engaged in fierce combat at the center.

Quinnie helped him design the formation for the entire set of wings, integrating all the metal feathers so they became one with the wings themselves. They could not only be used for flight but could also be launched outward like flying daggers.

Three years was a very long time; she now found it somewhat difficult to remember what movies she had bought back then.

"These matters are too bizarre. I know many people won't believe it, but I swear, if I'm lying even a little bit, my whole family's hearse will drift around corners." Seeing that Lu Tangtang remained silent, Mao Jiarong raised her hand and swore a poisonous oath.

Though he spoke of tossing her, his movements were actually gentle beyond compare. He simply set Ruan Meng down softly and even straightened her desk for her.

Actually, in theory, scrolls without activation requirements were more profitable because ordinary people could use them as well. However, due to the arrogance of mages, such scrolls were rarely crafted by them, as doing so felt like lowering their social standing.

Zheng Changdong exhausted every possible means, but not only failed to suppress these scandals, he even saw them exploited by his political opponent. Zheng Changdong fell hard from his pedestal as a revered president, leaving his reputation in ruins.

The clues were becoming increasingly clear, and the spearheads gradually began to converge on a single target. Not daring to slack off, the Empress chose to forgo food and sleep so she could personally supervise the trial on-site. Finally, after a day and night of fierce interrogation and pressure, the shadow of Princess Yourong was uncovered.

Aside from a thousand taels of silver, the champion would also receive another special reward: a recommendation by Baili Yun to serve as an instructor at the Department of Teachings, or the option to apply for emancipation from the humble caste, or a choice of an exquisite Eastern pearl hairpin worth hundreds of taels of silver—three options to choose from.

He discovered a medicine pouch not far away. Picking it up, he found it contained medicine for knife wounds. He wondered why someone with no knife wounds on his body would buy such medicine.

That night, the bottle lit up again, and she once more ingested the liquid. This time, she recovered her memories of her original world.

Chen Qian's expression changed drastically. Just a moment ago, while walking down the street, she had seen Zhang Xiu looking out the window at the scenery. How could she suddenly be on the verge of death?

Ye Nanshan wasn't sleeping either. It wasn't that he couldn't sleep due to habit, but simply because Wutong had been tossing and turning restlessly without falling asleep, and Ye Nanshan had been keeping a watchful eye on her the whole time.
