Chapter 52: Gossip About "Climbing the Social Ladder"—You Simply Don't Understand the Bigger Picture
The moment the distant cousin spoke, the awkward atmosphere in the living room instantly became lively again.
Everyone’s ears perked up, and the glint of gossip flared anew in their eyes.
Yes! That’s the point!
After all this fuss about the child and the past, isn’t the root of it all right here?
A country girl, scheming tirelessly to marry into the Lu family, was after nothing but the Lu family’s power and a registered household in the capital.
Just a moment ago, Zhou Susu had put her in her place.
Iron Ox had rested well during the first half of the night and yesterday; now, in the latter half, it was his turn to keep watch. In a place like this, accidents could happen at any moment. Taking turns to guard was safer. Otherwise, if a beast were to attack, realizing it too late would be disastrous.
“Qianqian, are you still angry with Daddy?” Ye Zi’ang approached Qianqian, placing his right hand gently on her arm.
An elderly man over sixty had collapsed to the ground in tears; anyone unaware of the truth would feel a pang of sorrow for him.
Even Qian Shuang looked at Feng Qingcheng with a strange expression, as if she were some kind of monster.
Gods like the Heavenly Emperor, Dragon King, and Phoenix Sovereign, born from the primordial energies of heaven and earth, carry ancient legacies in their memories. Thus, it was only fitting to question them.
Bo Shaozheng possessed delicate features and a handsome face, inheriting much of his beauty from his mother—the most stunning concubine of Commander Bo in her prime.
After soothing Ji Shuran a little, Jiang Yuanbo left, presumably to instruct those responsible for receiving the guests.
The earth beneath suddenly collapsed, cracks spreading like a spider’s web.
Indeed, this was the first time Mrs. Si had been so kind to Shen Qinglan, showing none of the airs typical of the matriarchs in top-tier cultivation families of Huaxia.
Seeing Ye Zi’ang yield, Xie Zijin nodded in satisfaction and continued to feed him, insistently placing the food directly into his mouth.
When Grandpa left, he left me a note, saying that my Xuan Yin body could be broken by a powerful ghost.
“The Heavenly Alliance?” Han Xiao took a deep breath. He still remembered that Yue Yuxuan had once told him the Heavenly Alliance was the largest business consortium in the vast wild world, and its current president was apparently from the Ye Trading Company.
They felt that spending such a huge amount of demon stones for a mere spirit talisman wasn’t worth it.
The Music Immortal didn’t even know what had happened and was killed just like that. When he saw the ID of his killer, he realized it was Lin Tian.
“Did I do something wrong?” Lumina looked at Yingluo’s departing figure and asked Ye Huan.
The other players in the group also laughed heartily. They had been enjoying the dungeon run today, but the male fairy had unreasonably demanded fees, dampening their spirits. Now, with Lin Tian having stood up for them, their mood brightened instantly.
Song Tianji nodded in agreement. He sensed that Zong Leierfu was very strong. His own realm was suppressed, but after so many years of reincarnation, Song Tianji felt both his soul and body growing steadily, each realm forging and solidifying his foundation.
The interior of the package was luxuriously arranged, and the shopkeeper walked directly to a mural at the front.
Although the warship still maintained kinetic energy, the hull was severely damaged. From the outside, at least eighty percent showed serious damage.
While searching for remaining energy data, he happened to see the current temperature of the main core, which was fifty degrees, with a historical high of seventy degrees. Judging by the time, it was clearly when he had just felt dizzy.
Shiyu smiled and said, “Since this is your mission, I really shouldn’t intervene. Whatever happens later is for later to decide. For now, just follow me closely and don’t cause any trouble.” She looked around as she spoke.
