Chapter 35: Plenty of Shameless Deeds Done

The doctor, seeing her sincerity and enticed by the exorbitant sum she offered, agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that she had consented, Wen Ling asked Aunt Zhou to return home early to arrange for a room to be prepared, while she remained behind to wait for Hehe to wake up from the anesthesia.

Once Aunt Zhou had left, Wen Ling finally let out a sigh of relief, only to look at Zhou Yinhe and freeze in place. She pursed her lips, unable to suppress a chuckle, and asked in confusion, "Why did you... dye your hair?"

Zhou Yinhe’s expression soured instantly, and he gritted his teeth, "It’s not—"

Chu Chen’s gaze was profound, filled with sorrow. He dared not refer to the other as Shakyamuni, for the image of the Buddha was already deeply and firmly rooted in his heart; he refused to accept that the Shakyamuni Buddha he revered could be a truly wicked man.

Xiao Xiao did not answer him, only saying, "To love without being loved in return is indeed the highest state of all suffering—a thousand, ten thousand times more painful than being killed by a single blade!" She then turned and walked away. "Xuanyuan Mu, the pain you are suffering now is the debt you created in your past life; you cannot blame anyone for this."

As one of the Twelve Great Families, even if it had lost its former influence, the Xiao family remained a behemoth within the ancient martial arts world.

Zhuang Xun understood the meaning of the first part, but the latter part left him bewildered. Plucked off back then? The monster had been suppressed at that time, so how could it have been plucked off? And what did this monster mean by "the present me"? Was it exploring the philosophical concept that it was no longer the same entity it had been in the past?

Huangfu Bei’er’s footsteps faltered. What was she thinking just now? She had subconsciously assumed that Mu Jie’ao had chased after her out of concern. Had she lost her mind? How could she think such a thing? In front of Huangfu Mingzhu, she would always be expendable, and besides, he had already declared he would no longer pester her. What more was she hoping for?

An Yirou was amused by him, but she shook her head and said, "No, I can't wear yours. Forget it, I’ll just force myself to walk over; after all, one must bear the consequences of their own choices." As she spoke, she gritted her teeth, wearing an expression of grim determination, and slowly extended her foot toward the road.

Although he had always challenged Jialan, he knew that Long-Descending was no match for them. The foundation of Jialan’s century-long heritage was undeniable; no matter how the winds blew from any direction, they remained unmoved and towering.

"What does this have to do with us? The mansion has already issued the order; you must leave immediately." Finally, the Li family servant spoke up.

However, just as they reached the city gates, they were stopped by the garrison soldiers. Since they were being intercepted, they decided to cooperate; perhaps Sima Yu had forgotten to mention something and had sent men to intercept them to relay his message.

Li Fugui pulled his arm away from Lu Ying’er’s clutching hands. He looked at the aggrieved expression on her face, his heart as hard as iron. He had once thought that when they met again and he had achieved success, he would mock and ridicule her. Yet, now that she had come to him, he felt only indifference; he didn't even have the energy to acknowledge her.

Seeing her like this, Yan Qing only shook his head from the side. "Even if you despise her, you don't need to ruin your own reputation for her sake!" Although it was satisfying, Bo Jin’s actions would inevitably have negative repercussions.

He and the rest of the Guangning Guards had been sent out of the palace by Empress Ling; they must have been sent either to the Western Regions or the Eastern Sea, and the two of them had never managed to meet.

But that is not the point. I can destroy them once, but until you realize your own faults, what does it matter if I nip every danger in the bud?

Zhang Yimei also knew that Zhang Hongli was a bottomless pit, but when he came asking for money, she dared not refuse. Zhang Hongli always used the fact that Zhang Yimei had been swindled by that fake monk to threaten her.

Ling Zhuang frowned. If Empress Minhui Zhaode had truly had an ambiguous affair with the former deposed Emperor, the Prince of Wei, how heartbroken would the Crown Prince be if he found out?

Ares Energy was the world’s largest energy corporation; their energy supply accounted for nearly 50% of the global market.
