Chapter 126: Eloping

Taian County was truly a transportation hub; Li Zhuzi’s earlier description had been quite an understatement. The station was a cacophony of voices and a surging sea of people, filled with weary travelers covered in the dust of their journeys and families bidding their loved ones farewell. It seemed no less bustling than the Yancheng railway station.

Li Zhuzi kept the three young women firmly shielded at his side. He let himself be jostled and pushed back and forth by the crowd without ever loosening his grip, breaking into a sweat within moments.

Hongxing felt a pang of pity for him and raised her voice to shout, "Miss, shouldn't we find a place to rest for a while?"

Li Zhuzi scanned his surroundings and pointed toward an empty space not far away, shouting, "Let’s head over there!"

It was a corner formed by two intersecting walls. Travelers coming and going bypassed the walls in a hurry, rarely pausing, which created a near-vacuum of space in that triangular area.

"As for you, you know exactly how many wicked deeds you've committed. The public trial is in three days; you had best prepare yourself!" With that, Xia Yan sauntered out of the prison.

Hua Zheng waved at Zhang Bai with reluctance, while Tuolei felt a complex mix of emotions. He knew he had come perilously close to becoming his apprentice just moments ago, and even without the formal title, he had already placed himself in the position of a student.

In truth, if all the personnel in training had heard the altitude of this mountain, they wouldn't have felt even a hint of cowardice.

In his eyes, she could no longer find even the slightest trace of love for her; there was only indifference.

Considering Bo Huan’s morning sickness, Bo Qing prepared food that was mostly light and bland.

The princes exchanged glances, all seasoned players in the political arena; it was clear to them that the Prince of Jin had left without paying. The atmosphere suddenly turned peculiar.

Tong Yujin waved at him happily. He hesitated for a moment before leaving Xia Shuying and diving into Tong Yujin’s arms. Tong Yujin stroked his hair and kissed his forehead. He seemed very satisfied with her affection, rubbing against her legs and appearing deeply attached to her.

Chu Xiao forgot that they were outdoors. Consumed by his passionate gaze, she closed her eyes and lifted her chin slightly, waiting for his lips to grace hers.

Leng Yiyao opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly heard a series of noises behind her. Everyone’s attention shifted at once to see a row of black stretched limousines parked one after another near the harbor, each flying the imperial flag from the right corner of the hood.

Back home, they ate dinner and then went about their own tasks. Since Shu Xin had to go to town with Huzi to buy pork early the next morning, they went to bed early.

Following his words, the fish-men of the New Fish-Man Pirates cheered one after another and charged toward the town!

The pirates on that ship turned pale with fright upon seeing this scene.

But Baimian faced no such problem. Not to mention his own fire and lightning release ninjutsu, he could simply mimic the Raikage’s Lightning Armor, and surely no ghost or monster would dare to get near him.

Because they were at the research facility, the rooms Mo Qin arranged for Tang Zheng and the others were naturally not as luxurious as those in Mary Geoise.

A thunderous roar erupted without warning, followed by a terrifying shockwave that rippled outward. Amidst the devastating surge, Pekoms was sent flying back heavily; the moment his feet touched the deck, the entire ship shook violently.

However, this fruit should be fine for Kaguya to eat as a snack. At the very least, it contained some chakra and was fresh, tender, and juicy.

Her smile was dazzlingly bright, as radiant as the midday sun in a clear sky. It immediately lit up the eyes of Eunuch Fu and the others opposite her, making the very entrance of the great hall seem brighter. They couldn't help but marvel in unison; she was truly a natural beauty. Such an appearance was heart-stirring from afar, and even more soul-shaking up close.

As the one tasked with maintaining security for this Levely, she would never have imagined that Li Yi would emerge at such a moment.

This look was also filled with tenderness. Shen Duowang watched Shu Xin, and only after they had finished dressing and grooming themselves did he go to open the door.

Had it not been for the protection of his family name, someone would have stepped in to teach him a lesson long ago; it would have been impossible for him to become a Commander in the Xiaoguo Army.

Beneath the dissolving moonlight, a grey shadow could be seen darting across like a bird. With a single leap, it vanished behind a high wall in the back courtyard of the inn.
