Chapter 114: Accusation
Lu Shibang frowned at Lu Yalan. Ignoring the pleasant atmosphere at the table, he immediately scolded, “It’s not easy for our whole family to gather together, so why do you have such a sour face and can’t even show the basic courtesy? Is this how you were taught to behave?”
The room fell silent. Everyone paused their actions and looked over; the warm atmosphere inexplicably chilled. The elderly lady furrowed her brow and put down her chopsticks.
Lu Yalan was just savoring the shrimp Lu Yabai had placed on her plate, enjoying the burst of flavor on her tongue when Lu Shibang suddenly attacked. She hadn’t reacted yet, but when all eyes turned to her, she realized he was addressing her.
Even though it was sudden, Lu Yalan only felt annoyed and unwilling to face him—nothing more. After all—
“Brother, is the food not to your liking? No matter how exquisite the dishes outside are, they’re still common fare. You should at least eat this once a month. I wonder what you usually eat—surely something far better than this?” Liu Meigui asked curiously.
The celestial laws imposed extremely strict constraints on the elf clan; none could violate them. If any elf descended to the mortal world, they would face the most thorough eradication according to these laws.
“You all carry on with your conversation. I’ll go prepare something for you,” Lady Dongming said with a light laugh and stepped out with the kind-hearted Sha Fang.
Liu Badao wore a suit and looked every bit the successful man. None present expected that this rather handsome man in a suit was actually just a university student.
Ma Wanqing cast a cold glance at Ma Pingchuan. Her clear eyes seemed to see through the third brother’s carefully concealed secrets as she refused.
He didn’t know where to kiss, yet everything he looked at made him want to taste. He slid under my sheets and suddenly grasped my right breast. Startled, I gripped his hand tightly, my heart racing under his palm.
“Why are you doing this? You could seize the opportunity to attack and launch a surprise strike on Luoyang...” Xu Ziling’s lips moved slightly as he asked.
The man was quite handsome—somewhat resembling Takuya Kimura. However, Liu Badao was clearly unaware of this.
Not to mention that revealing his real name with such grandeur would surely attract the joint council’s attention.
In fact, ever since the Western Route Brigade, led by Lan Tianwei, arrived at the city’s west suburbs, the Sixth Armored Division had begun advancing toward the parliament building. They had already captured the first radio station and made contact with the internal security forces launching a counterattack in the northern city. They were now continuing their push toward the parliament.
Cen Jiunian skillfully scaled, gutted, and cleaned the fish, marinating it briefly with salt, cooking wine, and pepper before roasting it over the fire. She then washed rice in a small iron pot and carefully cooked a bowl of porridge. Seeing the fresh wild vegetables, she prepared a dish with them as well.
Players on both teams’ benches stood and applauded the two, hoping the unfinished battle between them would continue.
In truth, she could have accepted him before, but seeing that video stirred a genuine, instinctive rejection deep within her body and soul.
The ball traced a beautiful arc in midair, more vibrant than a rainbow and more stunning than the northern lights. The entire audience watched in rapt fascination.
“Hmph, now you understand Ming Wushuang’s true strength, don’t you? Serves you right,” Mu Yunyan cursed softly. It was unclear what she was angry about, or if she was simply unwell and wanted to share her discomfort with Ye Zi’ang’s solidarity in hardship.
Nangong Chengxin felt frustrated. He had planned to gather with fellow disciples to strengthen bonds, but instead, they ran into this mess.
Murdoch was pondering how to correct Erika’s misconceptions when his brow furrowed sharply at what looked like the “ashes” left by a gang leader.
The media were mingling amicably. Zhan Mosi was very pleased and naturally looked toward Wu Jing, who smiled faintly, quietly enjoying his unacknowledged merits.
After the Battle of Liangzhou, “Lin Hao” had “released” him and Tong Yuan but did not reveal the way to leave this world. There must be some deeper meaning behind this, though he had yet to understand it.
