Chapter 140: Old and New Wounds Take Turns! Leave the Woman in the Shop to Welcome…

Li Xiaoyu took a somewhat worn dress out of her shoulder bag. Seeing this, Li Junsheng considerately walked out of the hospital room and closed the door behind him, waiting for Li Xiaoyu to call him before entering again.

Out of sight, the handsome young man’s lips curled into a malicious, deeply unsettling arc. After all, framing him as a werewolf and having him cross-verify identity would be far more convincing to the good guys than giving him a "clear" status.

Su Yao had no idea what was happening, but when Cao Bei called out, she had no choice but to leave with him.

James glided through the air with Ariza, and just as he lost his center of gravity and began to descend, he gently flicked the basketball toward the hoop.

"It’s nothing. In short, there are some things I shouldn't say too much about. Just pretend I never mentioned it. I’ve seen that Supervisor Li, and he does have some ability. Even if you two truly can't finish the task in the end, I will do my best to protect you both, but you must be obedient."

By the time they returned to the Lauder Factory, dawn was already breaking. He Daqing sat in his chair, exhausted, yet his mind was busy calculating his next move.

On the stage, Zhang Feng seemed oblivious to Xue Tong’s furious glare and the surrounding whispers, maintaining a faint, calm smile.

Lord Xiu Yi was never like this in the past. Was it because of that previous incident that he had grown to resent the Gotei 13?

Su Yao had also returned to the country from abroad. The first news she received upon landing was that Cao Bei had stepped down from his title as the Prince of Zhenbei and returned to the life of an ordinary citizen.

In front of Zhang Feng, she was always as passionate as fire, but that passion belonged solely to him; no one else had the opportunity or the right to witness it.

Zhu Fugui’s room used to be very simple—a bed, a table, and a cabinet, nothing more. Now, it was different; the bed had been replaced, draped in bright red curtains, and the table was adorned with a vase, with paintings hanging on the walls.

Zhou Heng was exactly that type of person. With his lifespan running low, he wanted to break through to the middle stage of the Saint Realm in his final moments. However, just as he was about to force the breakthrough, he felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart, causing his momentum to stall.

Although Muran Island was one of the closer islands in the vicinity, it was actually quite far, requiring over a day’s travel by Roc.

The gourd carried Lu Shu toward the dim boundaries of the star map. Lu Shu paused for a moment; those should have been the locations of the sixth and seventh nebulae, which had yet to be lit.

The main hall had also been redecorated. The heavy plush cushions were replaced with satin ones in a lake-green hue, evoking a refreshing feeling of summer.

Fu County was far from the land of Shu. It was likely that news of events in Shu would take a month to reach Fu County. Thus, until now, Xie Wuji had only heard the news that the Changsha army had launched a surprise attack on Shizhou and that the city had been breached.

While a city wall reinforced by a Grandmaster was certainly impregnable, one could not justify sacrificing the combat power of a Grandmaster just for the sake of the wall's durability.

Next, Ning Xiu fetched some cheese, dropped it into the pot to melt, and then mixed the melted cheese into the mashed potatoes in a wooden basin.

As it was already late, the envoys naturally could not return to the Shu army camp overnight. Everyone went to rest, waiting to see the envoys off the next day.

"I saw it a few times while I was in the capital, beside my grandmother, but I’m not very good at it," Lu Qingyi said, shaking her head.

Jiang Zhuzhi knew Liu Xiao was beckoning her, so she couldn't help but move closer and reach out to tug on his sleeve.

Once this child is born, I can only imagine how overjoyed my father-in-law and mother-in-law will be.

Mo Heng craved the feeling of being close to her, but he let go of Fu Ruo, choosing instead to stand side by side with her.
