Chapter 329: I Will Keep Watching You

Creak—

The sound of the dark red wooden door opening was piercingly harsh.

The sensation of hinges long untreated with oil made Wu Wang feel slight resistance even as he pushed the door open.

It was not merely decayed on the surface.

The creaking sounded as if it had drifted slowly from a distant past into the present.

Beyond the door lay darkness so thick that even the light streaming from the hall could not penetrate.

Yet Wu Wang stepped forward without the slightest fear.

Miyazaki Tsuki lifted her foot, bent her knee, and pressed it against Liu Yuner’s lumbar point, forcing her back down.

She had lived there too, and now, recalling Liu Yun’er’s current fawning behavior, she suddenly realized the truth.

A vendor stopped a running man. “What’s going on? Has the city gate opened? Are we allowed to leave?”

Yue Ronghua paused, her gaze slowly shifting to the bowl before her—everything seemed on the verge of revelation.

After resting long enough at the inn, Lin Jinyi hired a carriage and prepared to depart for Yujin County.

From student union officers, to elegant, graceful young men, to athletic, well-built members of the sports club… though none of them had ever targeted her, it didn’t stop her standards from growing increasingly picky.

Yang Yun, carrying the red lantern, could only whisper in plea—no amount of words worked; he could only beg to remove the lantern.

She walked before Miyazaki Tsuki, lifted her skirt with slender hands, knelt, and bowed low: “Master.” Miyazaki Tsuki glanced at her.

Gu Yuan turned and walked away. Xia Qingyan assumed he was leaving for good, with no trace of regret—this angered her deeply.

“Wait.” Zhou Keping raised his palm, nervously stepped onto the balcony, then returned to his bedroom to fetch a strangely shaped lantern.

“Mengmeng, don’t be sad—there’ll be other chances. Boss, I really want to bite you, you’re so infuriating.” Lu Xiangling glared fiercely at Chen Feng, then hugged Mengmeng to comfort her.

He placed the knife in the center of the raw stone—a move that left many knowledgeable onlookers speechless.

“But the old nurse was kind enough to tell me outright—how convenient! Falsely transmitting imperial edicts? I think her head has no reason to remain attached.”

Most importantly, she had no intention of accepting any of it—not that she cared whether Liu Xue would be displeased.

“Of course! Don’t you trust me? When have I ever lied to you?” Wu Anmin sighed, shaking his head. How could someone, just because they’d found such a boyfriend, suspect her of being like Chen Ziyu too?

Star Lady pressed a handkerchief to her mouth. She had begun to believe. Staggering forward to the coffin, she examined the skeleton closely, turned it over, then screamed: “My Cici…” and fainted.

“They’re mercenaries hired at great cost from abroad,” Luo Yiran said simply, though inwardly she was deeply shocked.

At the same time, he also submitted his manuscript—Naruto—to the second-largest manga company, Sakigawa Society.

Whether to heighten the atmosphere, to let guests enter the horror mood early, or to gradually acclimate them to it—

“Alright, then Brother Wu, please stay safe,” Su Xiyan nodded obediently, her face full of sweetness.

Before, Wang Qianqian had feared her; now, she was even more abusive. She’d been kind to her just once, and now the woman had taken advantage.

Now, with this earth-shattering upheaval, everyone was stunned and bewildered, utterly clueless as to what had happened.

It turned out that Zero had detected via satellite that Li Yan and others were under attack; after seeking approval, it immediately rushed to their rescue.

Tang Mao looked at the two begging men, his eyes filled with fury. “Dasheng, Axiang! How could you do this?” Did they truly think begging would save their lives?

“Miaomiao is picking chestnuts over there—I must hurry.” With that, she dashed off again.
