Chapter Sixty-Six: The First Step in Love

After that, silence fell once more. Yuan Xiangdie had never considered going home with this man. Xiao Wei, being just a child, was easier to handle; even if she had to deal with him, it wouldn’t be difficult. But Jin Yuan had been so direct just now, insisting on taking her home to meet his parents. They weren’t even familiar with each other, hadn’t deepened their understanding, and now he was skipping over the whole courtship process… going straight to meeting the parents.

Yuan Xiangdie’s mind was spinning, barely able to keep up. The first thought that popped into her head was to ask Julie for advice. After all, that girl had spent several years living freely outside. In matters like this, it made sense to consult her…

“Do you not realize that, as a mortal, your actions just now have already offended me?” Perro looked at Regnar, his tone calm as he questioned him.

Xiu Chongkai wore the same Valentino suit as always—neither elevating nor diminishing his status, as though attending an ordinary party. Yet everyone knew all too well that coming to this gathering was no different from slapping him in the face.

“Haha, it’s been a long time since we’ve had any intruders. Children, kill them for me.” Suddenly, among the countless snow bears, a larger red-furred one let out a wild cry.

Yet, despite her reputation, her age just past twenty, and her beauty, Ding Yao remained unmarried. There had been some bold suitors, but after one was gravely wounded by her sword, no one else was reckless enough to try.

A black suitcase leaned against the nightstand, the very one Chengnuo had dashed through the hallway to retrieve and carried all the way here. It was filled entirely with dirty clothes meant to be thrown into the washing machine at home. The room itself was well-equipped, but lacked a change of clothes.

“Thank you, thank you.” When Ling Ming thanked the old man beside the car in the local dialect, explaining that he was just passing by and would leave now that the owner had arrived, the authentic accent instantly shattered Chengnuo’s hope.

Hu Li had intended to turn and flee, but Li Hai stood there, frozen and dazed. In her anxiety, she couldn’t help but grab Li Hai by the arm.

“Everyone, let us—Mr. Yuan has traveled far and endured hardship. Let this cup wash away the dust of his journey! Come, sir, let’s drink together…” Personally pulling Xu You to a seat, Yuan Shao—already a master in the art of command—then raised his cup, surveying the crowd with a look of gratitude before toasting Xu You.

Inelis didn’t know if the voice was telling the truth, but she couldn’t endure any longer. She had to act, and the voice had offered her a measure of encouragement.

As the saying goes, words spoken without intent might still strike a chord. When Old Man Qiu Tao heard Lin Zu’s words, he was instantly stupefied.

Ji Biyun smiled and said, “It’s true!” Then, empty-handed, she joined the fight against Yu Hui Zhenshi again, but this time Ji Biyun found herself at a disadvantage.

Yufei noticed the sword Evilwind glowing with a faint blue light and was startled. That sword had long been buried deep underground with Ling Xuzi, but Tong Sudong had managed to retrieve it. Though Evilwind was powerful, none who had wielded it met a good end—all died violent deaths.

After they finished their ramen, they headed to the cinema. By the time they arrived, many classmates were already there. They entered the theater and sat with their classmates, and before long, the movie began.

“Hahaha… unqualified, am I?” The burly man laughed loudly, a murderous aura emanating from him as he glared menacingly at the Cloud Jade Sect.

Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo hailed a taxi and got in together, heading straight for He Fangbo’s house.

Baili Cangming’s heart was burning with anger, but upon hearing his words and seeing his expression, he found himself unable to lose his temper.

“Is that so? Then I must thank you, Your Highness.” Qin Susu replied indifferently, though her tone carried a trace of weariness.

So I put the tools back into the toolbox one by one. Just as I picked it up to leave, he pulled me into a tight embrace, and all the tools scattered across the floor again.

Almost all the families of the local garrison soldiers and regular troops were unwilling to leave their homes and relocate to Luoyang.
