Chapter 569: Happiness

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

"I know you're in great shape, but don't rush—Dou Dou's downstairs and won't run away." Taozi said.

Upon hearing this, Grandma thought it made sense, so she stopped hurrying and began descending the stairs slowly.

She turned her head to look at Taozi, then said: "Just now I wanted to ask you—why do you feel prettier?"

To be honest, my brothers are struggling a bit, but they're all skilled; holding out for a while won't be a problem.

Everything up to now 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 expelled all the attendants and soldiers here.

Next to the inn is a teahouse called Zhezhi Tower. The Jin people adore tea, but they don't produce much of it themselves; most is acquired through trade with the Southern Song. The tea leaves here are somewhat 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 worthy of being called friends.

The giant serpent truly seemed to understand these words; it instantly sank into the water and swam back along the path it had come.

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 suddenly stood 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 inside the back mountain of Huoyun Cave.

Xu Fei quietly asked Wu Dasong who this Director Lei was; Wu Dasong explained he was the Director of the Army Group's Political Department. 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 Human Transformation realm, I ate them." Su Daoxing overcame his psychological barrier, shattered a layer of shackles on his body, and, before the delighted gazes of his four Guardian Protectors, slowly swallowed the bloodied eyes of the Cold Crows.

Qianshou Die stared blankly at Tongzi, listening to her profound, deafening, somber accusation. It sounded as if she were speaking about Hui Zi, yet also as if she were speaking about herself.

"If I hadn't arrived in time, she would already be dead—is this what you, as Emperor, should be doing?" Wei Qianlan angrily confronted the Emperor.

"That makes sense—we shouldn't go. Maybe these toads haven't surrendered yet and are playing tricks." Yun Tianya nodded.

Sun Yaoru's company, Dayue Deep Sea, currently primarily engages in deep-sea mineral extraction but has not abandoned deep-sea shipwreck salvage operations.

Shinkaze Shizuki, facing the occasional glances thrown her way, absentmindedly stroked Indic's hair and said nothing.

The Roman Catholic Church's leader of the Right Hand of God, representing the Pope—Righteous Fire—narrowed his eyes; his calm voice, utterly without pressure, 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. It was rush hour—the streets filled with people, hurrying along, some even walking while eating breakfast from their mouths, bustling with life.

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 properly adjusted to the time difference, and today's atmosphere had been too comfortable; now that she was seated, she didn't want to move at all.

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 previously always worn the rose-diamond pendant necklace given by Xie Xia and the violet-jade bracelet given by Old Lady Zhao, but this time she set them aside and replaced them with the pearl necklace and red coral bead bracelet given by Lady Shao.
