Chapter 26: Such a Stubborn Tongue

The person on the bed stirred slightly, then continued to sleep soundly. Shen Yichi gazed at the slumbering figure, his heart softening; he could not bring himself to wake her. It had been a close call today, nearly exposing the truth. Fortunately, he had made preparations well in advance. Shen Yichi kept his eyes fixed on her, his gaze deep and inscrutable.

...

The next morning.

...

The two exchanged a long look, asking each other with their eyes: What now? What do we do? She went to turn on the television, letting the sound drown out their overly excited expressions and words.

Once this place was breached, it would be equivalent to opening a direct path to the capital of Wangtianya. The capital of Wangtianya was now within reach.

"Let's go." With a wave of his hand, Luoyu collected all the treasures and shouted toward Ming Chenye, Jun Feiwuhua, and the others in the distance.

She began to truly think of others, becoming selfless. When Ran Xiaochun brought eggs to visit Ran La'e, her heart still felt blocked; even after making breakfast, she could not eat, as if her throat had gone rigid.

The whole affair was rather eerie. I hurriedly signaled A-Gui to chase after them, while Zhao Da'an knelt on the ground, praying to the Turtle Immortal for protection. I did not stop him.

Third Brother’s words were so fitting for the occasion that even Jiang Yi could not help but silently admire him.

The newcomer had barely appeared before pressing close to her. It was hardest to refuse such a look and tone, filled with the expectant innocence of a child.

Rest? His gaze darkened. Rest—but where? At his own Hall of Longevity or her Palace of Condensing Snow?

Yet at this moment, Elder Baili, who had just taken the initiative to ask Jiang Yi to stay, seemed to have completely forgotten about it, leaving Jiang Yi aside without a word. Under such circumstances, it was not appropriate for Jiang Yi to be the first to speak to him.

"I don't know." With such ferocious power of ice, even Yun Shitian did not know; how could she?

"Yes!" The three of them, Jun Yixiao included, nodded in succession. They were all filled with anticipation regarding the Holy Spirit Relics and secret realms mentioned by the Holy Saint Yanxu.

Wang Tianfu naturally did not believe Ding Peng’s nonsense. If the Lingshan Sect were allowed to participate, they would learn the actual yield, and he would undoubtedly have to split at least half the revenue with them—this was effectively cutting flesh from Wang Tianfu’s own body.

Pillowing her head on Shen Lang’s arm, her slender neck felt slightly stiff. Her long lashes fluttered, almost brushing against his eyelids. Being embraced at such close proximity caused a sweet sentiment to spread through her heart, and she felt a belated, shy realization that she must have fallen asleep instantly last night.

There was no doubt that the Ten Directions Underworld Flags unleashed significantly more power in Wang Cheng's hands than they had in Yun Chen's.

However, what none of them had anticipated was that rumors were spreading wildly throughout the company. These various tales were woven together, sounding so vivid and convincing—though Mu Shiying was likely the only one who had not foreseen this.

Forget it. Since he had the money now, he didn't want to trouble anyone else; he would just go rent a car tomorrow. Just as he was looking up rental agencies, Lu Qiujian’s phone rang—it was the call from Professor Zhang that he had been waiting for.

Butler Guang turned respectfully. Ni Huairou still felt awkward being addressed as "you" by someone older than herself, but the butler did not seem to think anything of it.

The other four were doubled over with laughter, though they had to admit that for Old Wolf to have preserved his first kiss until graduation during their high school years was truly no small feat.

Seeing a "Yuelai Clothing Shop," Ye Weiyang couldn't help but feel curious. While "Yuelai Inns" were common, this was the first time she had seen a clothing shop with the same name. She brought Yuan'er along, intending to see what it was all about.

He had the Second Princess as his own sister, yet he would only step forward to protect Li Yuejiao when she was quarreling with others.
