Volume One, Chapter 53: Candy

“Little one, you’re awake. Do you feel unwell anywhere?”
Xiao Mo opened his eyes, instantly snapping out of his daze, and looked at the unfamiliar woman before him.
Despite all his precautions yesterday, he never expected to have been caught off guard.
A simple sentence felt like a command; as soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes. He heard a faint sizzling sound, felt a strong light piercing through his eyelids, and heard waves of painful cries, accompanied by discordant gunshots and tearing noises.
“You’re lying. You’re the one who hid the number tag.” The staff’s voice was hysterical.
Fei Bin narrowed his eyes. While Wu Yue was speaking, a disciple leaned in and whispered Wu Yue’s true identity into his ear.
The others wore expressions of envy mixed with concern, having all heard Chen Qiao’s invitation.
Both Cao Sheng, who was alone, and Xun You lived in the same courtyard, their rooms separated by only a single wall.
Yet Grandma Ye, who was determined to earn money, was willing to spend an entire day accompanying her to the first high school exam, simply out of concern that she might get nervous.
“Are you sure the authoritative person you mentioned can be trusted?” After everyone had gradually left, Ye Zhenhua couldn’t help but ask again.
They had received imperial orders and, knowing the direction of the new question types, reprinted practice books and mock exams. All winter long, they sat by the warm kang stove, poring over the questions, striving to produce the most outstanding students.
She was deliberately called Madam Han, a reminder that she now belonged to the Han family. She should behave accordingly and stop acting under the name of the Cheng family.
Li Qingze lifted the car curtain and watched Qian Yuchun oversee the unloading of sacks of grain, flipping through the ledger to tally them.
Nangong Li nodded; once a choice was made, returning to the previous state would be difficult. Each relied on their own Blue Gate family and would never switch sides or do so casually.
She had intended to carry Ling Bao out, but unexpectedly, he grabbed Zhou Shen’s collar. When Zhou Shen turned around, he saw Ling Bao excitedly clutching his clothes, while Xu Li awkwardly held Ling Bao’s hand.
Taking advantage of the pause when the Ice Archer released a skill, he leaned forward to deliver a normal attack. This seemingly ordinary strike misled everyone, masking his true intent and stacking the effects of the card deception technique.
Ling Xiao stood on the stage, his gaze level and steady, but Shangguan Hong, suspended in midair, felt an eerie sense of being completely controlled.
Zhou Shen helped Xu Li lie down comfortably and prepared to put the clothes back into the box. To his surprise, he found a red paper bag at the bottom.
On the suburban highway, fully armed members of the Asuka team sped along in a Xio Arbos.
Over a hundred thousand years ago, the sky darkened, the heavens shattered, and a roar of a divine dragon that spanned countless millennia descended from above.
Seventh Brother glanced at Xi Yan, then at the people around him, his thoughts not much different from Nangong Li’s. This person was taken away by Xi Yan; someone as concerned with reputation as she wouldn’t act recklessly.
Mu Xilan looked at the bottle he handed her, realizing it was the one she had given him earlier. What did he mean by that? Did he not want it anymore?
Lan Xianshu opened her eyes, blurry and disoriented, still slightly shaken from the shock.
Fu Tian Mo uttered a meaningful phrase and then walked out, leaving only the lingering warmth on the bed.
Xiao Meiniang exhaled softly, half-tilting her head to gaze at a cloud on the horizon. Her rowing movements grew more graceful, stirring ripples of spring across the cold pond.
Because when he led his men away from Demon Dragon Bay, he had sworn an oath to eliminate Pan Haodong, the hidden prodigy of the Hidden Sect, to quell the arrogance of the Hidden Sect’s elite.
