Chapter 162: Melancholy

"My mother still thinks she refuses to marry me because of the child. If we tell her it's because of another man, I'm afraid this wedding might turn into a funeral."

Yuan Xiangdie thought of the old lady's fiery temper, realizing that was indeed a possibility. She nodded in agreement; turning a young girl's anticipated wedding into a funeral was hardly appropriate.

"Talking is talking, but stop touching me."

Yuan Xiangdie struggled, but in the end, she still fell victim to that scoundrel.

Early in the morning, Yuan Xiangdie woke up late. Although only the three of them were left in the house now, she still felt it wasn't quite right for her children to catch her sleeping in.

Jin...

The next morning, Aotian woke up early. Looking at the sleeping Luer, a faint smile appeared on his face. Today was probably the happiest day of her sleep! Aotian didn't know why he felt such a tender affection for her in his heart, and he gently stroked her beautiful red hair with his hand.

Gao Xiang's heart pounded inexplicably once more, and even Jinying trembled slightly, as if foreseeing something.

Gao Xiang said dismissively, "What is there to fear? If we can't win, can't we just run?" With the Heaven-Reversing Wheel in his hand, facing immortals might be difficult otherwise, but running away was effortless and smooth.

Thinking of what had just happened, she felt overwhelmed by shame, with nowhere to hide. If Chen Yi hadn't spoken so ruthlessly, she would surely have stood up, sneaked out the front door, and left in sheer humiliation. Perhaps she wouldn't dare go home; perhaps she would. But she would certainly be restless.

He glanced at the Zheng family elder, signaling for them to be taken away and executed in secret. Since Aotian was unwilling to see bloodshed that might affect their mood, they should be taken away for a covert execution. That way, he could give Aotian an account. With this explanation, at least Aotian wouldn't make things too difficult for her, right?

After finishing the remaining half of a sandwich, Romu boredly toyed with the piece of tin foil in his hand.

Wang Peiqi spoke with fiery indignation, her face flushed red under the stimulation of alcohol, ignoring all of Chen Yi's attempts to dissuade her.

"If you want them to appear, they will appear right before your eyes!" Bie Xiao wore a faint smile and gestured toward the warm jade-carved low table in front of Gao Xiang. "Please, taste the tea!"

Jinxiu shook her head. "Princess, she is not the person you think she is." She didn't know why, but uttering those words brought such relief. The princess had truly changed a lot during this period, and she kept this matter like an untold secret, hiding it in the deepest part of her heart.

"How much longer until we reach the airport?" I checked my wrist watch—9:15 AM. Twenty minutes from now would be 9:35 AM. I just hope we make it in time.

The sneering Fan Xisi waved his right hand violently, and black mist blocked Loren's path, preventing him from advancing even half a step further.

Qin Jingyuan started violently, his gaze snapping toward the direction from which that surge of energy originated. He could sense that the energy was heading straight toward his location.

He took out the Monster-Hosting Tablet from his bosom to compare it. After a brief guidance from the Black Qilin, he managed to recognize the six monsters carved on the tablet: the Horned Wood Crocodile, the Neck Gold Dragon, the Root Earth Racoon, the Room Sun Rabbit, the Heart Moon Fox, and the Tail Fire Tiger.

"This is impossible! Exactly how did you dodge the final bombardment?" Li Wei glared at Nangong Yuchen with a ferocious expression and demanded.

As for the creation of zombies, whether born naturally or nurtured by humans, they mostly relied on the surrounding environment, possessed low intelligence, and recognized no blood relatives.

"I don't care about that. I am just this kind of person. So if you still want to hold multiple beauties in your arms in the future, you'd better try your best tomorrow to pass the interview successfully. Otherwise, just wait to be slapped hard across the face by some girls, hehe..." Zhuge Weiyang said with a smile.

Guo Zhide and the other three lay quietly in the security room. Eerily, their bodies were enshrouded in a faint, gloomy black mist at that moment. The nether force that had burrowed into their glabella earlier was continuously transforming their constitutions.

Let the slogan be resounding if it had to be; it was just a slogan anyway, much like the shampoo commercials broadcasted on Shenzhen Television—can buyers really wash away dandruff and make their hair silky and smooth?
