Chapter 569: Happiness

Nainai’s words carried deeper meaning; Taozi may not have understood before, but now she couldn’t miss it, so she cast a grateful glance at Shen Siyuan.

“I know you’re in great shape, but don’t rush—DouDou won’t run off downstairs.” Taozi said.

Hearing this, Nainai thought it made sense and stopped hurrying, beginning to descend the stairs slowly.

She glanced sideways at Taozi, then said: “Just now I wanted to ask you—why do you feel like you’ve become prettier?”

To be honest, my brothers are struggling a bit, but they’re all skilled—they can hold out for a while without issue.

Everything so far remains a mystery; Si Tengfeng’s strength far exceeds what they’ve seen.

It seems, as Mo Ang said, that the Old Dragon King, in a rage, punished and drove away all the attendants and soldiers here.

Next to the inn is a tea house called Zhezhi Tower. The Jins adore tea but produce little of it themselves; most comes from trade with the Southern Song. The tea here is coarse, yet the daily flow of patrons is heavy.

Rather than husband and wife, they’re more like two people who aren’t strangers, barely deserving the title of friends.

The giant serpent, as if understanding, sank instantly into the water and swam back the way it came.

In the midst of their battle, invisible pressure radiated outward; all felt a sword qi of alternating cold and heat bearing down on them.

“What? Xintian got injured? Which hospital?” Su Nuannuan shot up and rushed toward the square’s exit.

He picked me up; Huangying pulled out a bronze mirror, chanted a talisman incantation, and in an instant we appeared in the back mountain of Huoyun Cave.

Xu Fei whispered to Wu Dasong, asking who this Director Lei was; Wu Dasong explained he was the Political Department head of the army group. Xin Ran used to be the army group’s starting forward in basketball, so he knew Director Lei well.

October 15. In the inner courtyard, Yu Mei heard of the events in the front hall and blushed amid a burst of laughter.

“To enter the Realm of Mortal Transcendence, I ate them.” Su Daoxing overcame his psychological barrier, shattered a chain binding him, and, under the delighted gazes of his four Guardian Spirits, slowly swallowed the bloodied eyes of the Cold Crows.

Qianshou Die stared blankly at Tongzi, listening to her profound, resonant accusation. She seemed to be speaking of Huizi, yet also of herself.

“If I hadn’t arrived in time, she’d already be dead—is this what you, as Emperor, should do?” Wei Qianlan angrily questioned the Emperor.

“Makes sense. Let’s not go—maybe these toads aren’t convinced yet, and are playing tricks.” Yun Tianya nodded.

Sun Yaoru’s Dayue Deep Sea Company, though now primarily focused on deep-sea mineral extraction, has not abandoned its deep-sea shipwreck salvage operations.

Shinkaze Shiori, undisturbed by the occasional glances, absentmindedly stroked Indeksu’s hair, saying nothing.

The Roman Catholic Church’s leader of the Right Hand of God, representing the Pope—Righteous Fire—narrowed his eyes; his calm voice effortlessly filled the entire space.

This was Xu Fei’s first time giving her flowers—and in front of others. He Wen’s heart swelled with sweetness.

Xu Chaoxi ran several laps around the street between the hotel and the coast; by the time he finished, it was already eight in the morning. The morning rush had begun; the streets filled with people hurrying along, some eating breakfast on the go, lively and bustling.

After finishing, they returned to the car; the hotel was still over ten minutes away. The brief excitement faded, and Pei Zhufan felt tired—she hadn’t adjusted well to the time difference, and today’s atmosphere had been too comfortable. Now seated, she lacked the energy to move.

Lying in bed, listening to the wind and rain relentlessly battering the inn outside, Lin Shenlu stared at a painting hanging on the opposite wall.

Yun Mo had often worn the rose-diamond pendant necklace given by Xie Xia and the violet-jade bracelet from Old Lady Zhao, but this time she set them aside and replaced them with the pearl necklace and red coral bracelet gifted by Lady Shao.
