Chapter 106: Does It Still Hurt?

"Shen Yue!" Wen Han clenched her phone tightly, her nails digging deep into the casing. "Don't spread baseless rumors!"

"If you don’t believe me, why did you come to M City with me?" Shen Yue pierced through Wen Han’s subconscious fear.

"I called Liang Yan today, and he came immediately..."

Following Prefect Lu’s line of reasoning, there was only one possibility: the bandit Ma Liu was holding off the imperial army for him.

However, if this information got out to key figures in Base City or Jiangnan City who knew the inside story, it would be disastrous.

Having a red name in the game was extremely disadvantageous. Not only did all attributes drop by 30%, but equipment and inventory items were highly likely to break, and dying would cause an immediate loss of one level.

At that moment, a strong gust struck his abdomen. He knew this was a real attack, but it was too late to block it with his hands. He powered through his waist and abdomen, twisting his body to an incredible degree.

Just as their elevator doors closed, the doors of another elevator opened, and Lin Xin’er stepped out.

Of course, returning to Earth now was impossible. He first needed to seize control of the Keli forces and maintain their current territory. This was all his now. These troops formed the foundation for his future dominion over this star system, leaving no room for error.

Without poison, Jin Qu’er was no match for Li Qing. Just as he was about to be stabbed to death by Li Qing’s sword, Bai Ran flipped and leapt up, fiercely blocking Li Qing.

Seeing that everyone had received the elixir and was just one step away from curing his hidden illness, the disciple’s denial was too much for Zeng Shuai to accept.

As for Luo Jiuyai, Ye Qingfeng instructed him to follow Mangshan, guarding Hongmen and to help Mangshan eliminate dissenters and slay any who dared rebel.

I flipped through the photo album from the first page to the last; every picture was of Zhang Ze and Wang Min together.

"Your Majesty, why not entrust Lady Yue to me?" A guard interjected, noticing the king’s difficulty walking.

Such matters were absolutely unmentionable. Otherwise, they would treat Xia Luo as a freak. Presently, he helped Tan Mengxue to the car, then went back and forth moving three bronze chests onto the vehicle. He told Elder Tan and Tan Mengxue to return first, as he needed to stay here a few more days.

After Sister Tan finished speaking, she said nothing further, passed right by Lin Rongshen, and headed for the gate. Only after she left did the maid rush out of the kitchen to close the door.

The family of three stood at the subway entrance, with Mother Qiu narrating the details. Qiu Yingying thought of how the Ying family treated her and began to sob quietly.

Though he never explicitly said who the “he” in the sentence referred to, at that moment, she was as clear as a mirror that the “he” must be Ye Qingtian.

Fan Shengmei dragged her finger down the mouse out of habit, scrolling the screen, but her eyes remained fixed on the flickering numbers. Whether it was her optic nerves tiring or something else, her eyes grew moist.

Qu Xiaoxiao sat with Doctor Zhao on the front steps of her mother’s house. The spring sunlight was scorchingly bright, but she had a solution — burying herself in the cool shade behind Doctor Zhao. Only, Doctor Zhao was caught mid-workout, sweating heavily and smelling rank. Although Qu Xiaoxiao adored every part of Zhao, she could not love his sweat.

Regardless of whether Guan Zheno agreed, she waved to the waiter for more drinks. This guy seemed quite skilled at playing it cool.

At that moment, Chen Feng and Zhang Hua each pulled out a list. They compared them carefully and found no discrepancies—they matched perfectly. It seemed these people hadn’t deceived them. This was why they split into three groups: each had to verify the lists independently, or else they wouldn’t even know if they’d been fooled.
