Chapter 29: I Thought You Just Liked Sitting on My Lap

Xu Tanxi entered the house and headed straight for the island counter, pouring herself a glass of water and gulping it down.

Shang Hejing strolled past her with a languid gait and remarked casually, "I'm thirsty too. Pour me a glass, please."

Xu Tanxi refused without a second thought: "Don't you have hands?"

He had cut her off in traffic for no reason, and now he wanted her to pour him water? He could go jump in a lake.

Shang Hejing stood his ground in silence for a second. Just then, the King wandered by, and he leaned down—

Yun Ziye slept very restlessly through the night, kicking off her quilt time and again. Qu Shang had no choice but to cover her over and over. Although as a celestial immortal he was not supposed to feel fatigue, this was his first time worrying over a child, and he felt quite flustered.

His expensive silk shoes stepped into the muddy stone path without hesitation. Rain soaked the vamps, yet he continued to walk step by step toward Jinghuan.

"Steward Wang, please don't worry. I will go and keep an eye on things. With your assistance, I am sure A-Yu will have no problems." Qingfeng continued to say things to put the steward at ease, though in truth, he was worried to death himself.

Lin Feng waved his hand, wiping out all the strange insects and the Gu King surrounding him. Had this been a month ago, Lin Feng would have had no choice but to flee for his life upon encountering the Gu King.

Yeji Ridge was a stretch of desolate wilderness where towering trees blocked the sunlight year-round, and it was said to be haunted by ghosts and wolves.

The new lithium battery technology had received widespread attention since its debut, especially after the first phase of the battery factory began operations in June. New battery-powered phones were flooding the market, from the high-end X7 models to Huawei's mid-to-high-end offerings. An accident at this time was a matter of great concern.

"That's fine, just don't let me down again. Get everything ready. Tomorrow morning, I am leaving for China. I'll go to the capital first, then transfer directly to Donghai City." Having said this, Jin Songyi turned and walked straight into the villa.

As long as Yan Xu gave the word, she could return to her maiden home with justification. If Jin Linglong wanted to deal with her, she would have to bring her back openly. Since Jin Linglong hadn't actually eaten the hawthorn cake, this going back and forth meant that even if she wanted to target her, she could no longer use the cake as an excuse.

"What's wrong with my father-in-law? Was it him who saved us?" Zhang Yixian asked, puzzled.

Three blood-red gems were embedded in the center, clearly treasures worth a thousand gold. They exuded a magnificent, understated, yet luxurious air, instantly drawing all attention to the dark red axe.

"Your servant dares not, my King. I only wish to prevent the King from being deceived by a person of questionable character. My conscience is clear; I only pray that the King is surrounded by capable and honest officials. I am deeply convinced that my brother is innocent!" Though his words were sincere, Chang Qiang was deeply displeased.

She was very puzzled. In terms of seniority, Longyan had been with Ruodou the longest. In terms of closeness, Ruodou had always treated Longyan differently, with great trust and intimacy. Yet, she could not fathom why Ruodou would accommodate and obey her—a newcomer—in every way.

She had already scheduled a time to meet Huo Zhiming. During this meeting, Feng Nan had to make an even better impression on him to secure the role of Zhong Qi.

Early that morning, Puchi Xingzi ran to the room shared by Xu Anmo and Xiao Ru, pounding on the door vigorously.

These were the thoughts that instinctively occurred to ordinary players upon learning the skill information. As for the coaches, their thoughts were certainly not so superficial, but they would likely need to study the hero in depth before reaching a final judgment.

Just as Lu Xun hesitated for a brief moment, another "spider" lunged at him. Having fought one already, Lu Xun had gained some experience. He smashed the spider's head with a single shot, and while holding Sharon, he dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding its pounce.
