Chapter Ninety-Six: Is It a Love Token?

The girl lifted her head and saw a crowd of people standing upstairs, with Mu Tingye at the front. She stood up, tilted her head in confusion for a moment, and, thinking he had come for her, raised a hand. “Uncle Tingye, I’m here.”

In the vast hall, beneath the dazzling lights, her waist-length hair swayed behind her with the movement of her body. Those crescent-shaped eyes seemed to hold stars—clean, pure to the extreme. Mu Tingye stood above, and his heart softened with a strange, tingling ache, as though he had been bewitched.

“Uncle Tingye, I’m waiting for you here,” the girl called again, thinking he had not heard.

The man’s finely defined hand moved, …

Among them, three each held on chains a Bengal tiger, a cougar, and a black panther.

“Yes, I understand! Don’t worry. What about the dwarf?” Lin Xia suddenly thought of the dwarf and asked Jessica.

An hour later, Lin Sheng set out again. An hour of cultivation had restored him to peak condition. Flying at full speed, he saw the Ancient Forest Passage three hours later.

Li Si had waited a long time for this chance, intending to lure Hong Yong into making a move. Otherwise, with him always lingering nearby, how could he possibly give it his all with divided attention?

Every time I told a story, Jessica became like a child with ten thousand questions. There seemed to be no end to them. Lin Xia looked at Jessica in surprise, only to find that she had already fallen asleep on his bed. The peaceful look on her sleeping face left Lin Xia staring for a moment; he had never expected Jessica to have such a gentle, lovely side.

From within that doorway, torrents of divine-light brilliance crashed down upon him from above, but under Xuan He’s murderous strike, they were all shattered at once.

After hearing this, Jin Zunming immediately sent people to investigate and also dispatched men to warn the Hai family. However, he had no evidence at all that the assassin guild’s task had been issued by the Hai family, and the Hai family would not be foolish enough to admit it themselves, so in the end nothing came of it.

Lin Xia knew that in some ports with complex sea conditions, or in busy harbors, ships generally needed a professional pilot to guide them in. But the pirates aboard were all seasoned men of unknown experience, so they probably did not need anyone to pilot them into Sea Pearl Harbor.

Only after everything had quieted down did people gradually begin to come out into the streets. Then someone discovered that the cars parked along both sides of the road were gone, and after that, the curses began.

From beginning to end, Madam Song, née Lü, never mentioned He Xiaze once, clearly not having much faith in the affair between Song Sanyue and He Xiaze.

In that instant, she caught his unique scent, heard the strong beat of his heart, and felt his warmth.

Tomorrow, the Exquisite Tea House would hold a new tea tasting, and this letter was an invitation from the house’s proprietor.

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes casually drifted toward the expensive sports car. The person stepping out of it immediately left her with no desire to say another word.

Richard sat in the VIP lounge on the second floor, sipping the coffee Xiao Yuren had prepared for him. The rich aroma made him nod again and again.

Then a figure enveloped her, bent down, and easily lifted her from the chair.

After leaving the police bureau, Ye Yaqi kept Mary’s words of experience in mind and immediately drove back to the Ye residence.

“Put me down, and I guarantee that you’ll all leave safely!” Cheng Ye said coldly. Xiong Fei laughed. “At a time like this, no one can be trusted. Don’t force me to use rough methods.” A cold light flashed across Xiong Fei’s face, utterly unlike the elegance he had shown upstairs.

Shen Yu turned and left. He could not waver; in both public and private matters, Song Bingjue was not the one best suited for her.

Yet beyond Earth, the void of space had already been completely obscured. Not a single thread of starlight from the cosmos could pierce through, and what covered it all were the heads of several enormous monsters.

At that, she fell silent and swept her gaze back and forth across Xia Feng and Du Heng’s faces several times. Seeing that both of them were cold-faced and had no intention of giving her a way out, she had no choice but to glance at Mother Zheng.
