Volume 1 Chapter 24 A Duel with the Fiancée

Duan Wuhen looked at Di Qingcheng with a half-smile. "What, am I not allowed to appear here?"

Di Qingcheng looked embarrassed. "I never expected you to be my mysterious fiancé."

"Indeed! It just goes to show how fate has brought us together."

Di Qingcheng pouted slightly. "Stop spouting nonsense! I haven't agreed to anything yet!"

Duan Wuhen nodded, then broke into a smile. "Oh, is that so? I recall someone inviting another person to dinner and then making them pay the bill. Tell me, if word of this got out, who would ever dare to marry you?"

"I—I just had an urgent matter at the bureau, so I had to leave early. How much was that meal? I'll pay you back now."

Duan Wuhen waved his hand...

In particular, Beruni, who had been directly misled several times by Fangfang's guidance toward Tang Qie, was already sobbing uncontrollably the moment he opened his mouth. He pressed his hands against the floor, and in the blink of an eye, a puddle of water formed beneath him.

Mi Xiang was the first to enter the room. She looked up and saw her mother lying on the bed, her complexion looking rather poor... both shocked and terrified.

Yun Jingting nodded, walked out to the duty room, made a long-distance call, and handled a few matters before slowly returning to the ward.

Ying'e was the name of his grandmother, Madam Wu, who had gone to the palace today to visit the ailing Empress Liang. If only his grandmother hadn't been away... stop, he couldn't think about it anymore; regret was useless, and his grandfather's remedial measures had been excellent.

"How serious is the situation?" Zhang Jialiang truly wanted to help Lan Ting, which was why he asked for the specific details.

Shangguan Xue'er's hand landed on the doorknob. With a firm grip, she yanked the door open with a "bang." A gust of cold wind rushed in, and she shivered instinctively; the aura she had held moments ago vanished in an instant.

Although no one believed it, the wedding had to go ahead regardless. Whether the heavens wanted to rain cats and dogs, the two children had reached the age.

Li Jiayu lay in bed, thinking of Duan Weiqi, feeling a sense of pride. He was truly outstanding. She was fortunate that he was so exceptional, as it gave her the motivation to keep chasing after him.

Xu Qianqian nodded in satisfaction. Although the three of them had not explicitly stated their worries, they had already communicated through their conversation.

Li Jiayu dared not say that with Duan Weiqi's temper, his attitude was the family's attitude. The reason she wasn't worried about Duan Weiqi's mother was precisely because Duan Weiqi was so strong-willed; with him there, she really didn't worry about much else.

The three greeted Wei Zhenhua's parents and went to see Wei Zhenhua. He was lying on the bed in the room, his body curled up facing outward. Yan Le saw that he was pale, his breathing heavy and ragged.

Dr. An Luting and Dr. Liya, who had been hiding all this time, also emerged at this moment. They had heard the previous conversation as well. Everyone stared at Linlin, hoping she could provide a reasonable explanation for all of this.

Although she didn't like dark stories, Lin Wanshu could not deny that this was an exceptionally brilliant work with profound meaning. In her view, it was even a work capable of competing for the Golden Award.

"Alright. Let's stay in touch by phone then." Xu Huinan hung up the phone feeling depressed, then called his office to say he wouldn't be coming in today.

Lin Wanshu secretly gave a thumbs up. As expected of Boss Qiu, she thought of everything. During the interview, Lin Wanshu had been conquered by Qiu Shiyu's organized, calm, and composed demeanor.

Aoxue touched her face. She really had cried. "My mother is fine now," Aoxue murmured.

Because it was different from the twenty-first century in the history of her past life, the various countries in this world got along quite well.

"Hmph, if you don't take it out, I won't either. Whoever takes it is a coward!" The Red Parrot, refusing to be outdone, curled its lip and shouted loudly.

The public security officers then launched a large-scale search around the old temple and the riverside, leaving no detail overlooked.

Director Sun strode into the living room, walking toward Zhao Kun, who was sitting on the sofa with a radiant smile, before respectfully handing the box to him.

When Shentu Yuntian could no longer find her with his gaze, and because the wind and snow were so thick that he could no longer sense her presence, he could only let out a faint sigh.

Next, Big Ox aimed the camera at Shanzhu, and Shanzhu even performed the Five Animals Play ancient boxing, specifically the Tiger Fist and the Bear Fist.

"I have something to say." Yan Guji had no intention of letting go. After all, this was his territory; how could he allow her to threaten him? If other clansmen saw this, where would he put his face? How could he establish his majesty in front of his people in the future?

Of course, one could not rule out the possibility of individual Celestial Demon clansmen holding onto lucky fantasies, harboring a one-in-ten-thousand hope that they might stumble upon some treasure.

Thinking this, the few elders who had been frequently observing Mo Liancheng, and who felt more and more that this man was hiding his true depth, could not help but reveal looks of disdain.

Wielding a whip, she looked down at the man in the brocade robe with equal arrogance. With a lash of her whip, *boom!* The bluestone tiles on the ground where the man stood shattered into pieces and flew in all directions.

With his primordial spirit and the power of Xuanhuang bound, and his physical body weakened ten million times over, he was now as hungry, sweaty, and tired as a mortal. Where was the ability of a cultivator to go without food, drink, or sleep?

"No, you will compromise. It's only a matter of time." Qiao Yunxi shrugged indifferently. As long as she was within the Red Flame, nothing was a problem.

"But I must ensure your safety," the guard mumbled. In other words, he did not dare to defy his orders, but he could not help but state his position.

His eyes became terrifying, as if the person before him had committed an unforgivable sin. Ai Wen lowered her head, not knowing how to explain. She could not tell him the truth; she had to save Gele Changping no matter what, by any means necessary.

Neustria was not considered wealthy among the nations, but compared to the Far North, it was simply a paradise with a pleasant climate and abundant resources.

But to her surprise, when she opened the door, she saw that Xiao Ran had brought Wang Meina home. Even more infuriating was that Xiao Ran had done such a thing on her living room sofa right in front of her.

"This King promises you! After you die, I will show mercy to your family and your sect! Xie Tingfeng, you can die in peace! Flood Dragon Kill!" Elisa shouted coldly. The eight Imperial-level flood dragons in front of the carriage roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens. They lunged at Xie Tingfeng, claws bared and fangs exposed, with ferocious intent.

Vaguely, she felt that she had truly been used by that Yingxue back in the day. Meng Hanyun's hatred was so intense that she felt a gnawing urge to turn Yingxue into a human stick and make her taste the suffering she herself had endured all these years.

Seeing Xie Tingfeng arrive, Li Xuanshan and Chen Shiwei struggled to sit up from the ground, gasping for air.

Once they lost the trail, the Four-Horned Leopard would have to rely on its sense of smell again, along with the unique electrical properties of the four horns on its head, and after a long period of tracking and pursuit, would it finally be able to find the Crystal Mouse.

"Yes, I saw him with my own eyes. He was a Blood Demon." Zuo Yi's words seemed to carry a sinister chill.

She sat in a daze, turning her head to look at the streetscape on both sides of the road under the dim lights outside the window. In that instant, she suddenly missed Yi Nanchen more than anything.

In the first half of the journey, they set out from the sphere of influence of the Star Palace. Occasionally, the masters of the Star Palaces, such as the masters of the Purple Luan Palace, Flying Bird Palace, and Blood Spirit Palace, would lead groups of brothers to welcome and escort those elites from the ocean as they headed toward the Supreme God's Treasury.
