Chapter 46: Why did he take stealthy photos of her? Did he have a secret crush on her?

Xu Tanxi felt a sudden tightness in her chest, about to speak when Jiang Yilian interrupted her—

“There’s five-fingered peach chicken soup already prepared for you at the dining table. The rehearsal intensity at the theater has been high lately, so take care of yourself. Take it with you and drink it.”

First a slap, then a sweet carrot—that was Jiang Yilian’s usual tactic.

Xu Tanxi’s lips twitched slightly, her inner feelings distilled into a single word: “Fine.”

Her tone cold, she averted her gaze, picked up the insulated container from the table, and left.

This swordsman, draped in white hair and robes as pure as snow, was none other than the renowned Sword Saint Qingyun, whose prowess shook the entire Yunming Continent.

“What exactly is emptiness?” This question had long troubled Yun Ying. To him, emptiness meant obliteration—total nonexistence. But if everything truly ceased to exist, then what was it that his eyes beheld? How could one speak of transforming into emptiness?

“At least you’re a store manager; can you watch your manners?” Li Xuan smiled slyly, lowering his hand.

Tears welled uncontrollably. She turned her face away from Chu Ran, biting her lower lip to stifle her sobs.

Yun Ying found it amusing. He gathered his true qi and dashed away swiftly. Though no match for Zhao Wufeng, his Great Martial Master strength meant he could return in just over a quarter of an hour.

The Empress Dowager left in a fury, flicking her sleeves. Yue Qingming remained seated, smiling as he waved at her retreating figure.

After hearing this, the three men’s expressions darkened. The words of the Carefree Marquis rang true. That old man’s strength was overwhelming. If it came to a desperate fight, killing both would be difficult; but killing one of them was a certainty.

Ye Luo clenched his teeth, glancing at Chu Ran as if to say: Handle your father’s affairs yourself.

It had to be said, alchemical pills were no wonder why they were so beloved. Even an ordinary alchemist was sought after by major powers like a prized treasure, welcomed wherever they went.

Feng Yao could not have been unaware. Hundreds, even thousands of doctors had come, none could surpass her alone. But since this was the human realm, under countless eyes, Feng Yao was forced into endless waiting.

Under normal circumstances, Mu Ziqing would have already broken into a smile at this moment, but now she showed no reaction at all.

After leaving Baizhou Prefecture, their marching pace was slow, so they never caught up with Wei Qingqing and Luo Hong.

Truly everyone had witnessed it. Brent Rex seemed to have lost his mind. Chu Wushuang saw with her own eyes Brent Rex unload two whole boxes of bullets into the neighbor’s house. God only knew how much hatred Brent Rex bore for his neighbor.

Apart from the Soviet Union and China, no other country had the will or ability to provide such aid.

She regained her memory, spirits soaring. Ahead lay sunlight and hope. He was determined to lead her and their child to escape.

“You all carry on playing.” Though unsure of Bertha’s intentions, Ye Chenmeng couldn’t shake a feeling of unease.

Yun Qixi was too lazy to glance at his face again and turned to leave, but Dr. Qin called out to her.

Why was Zhang Feng here? He had brought Long Qian back, so why wasn’t he guarding the room where Long Qian was detained? Moreover, Zhang Feng escorted him the whole time—how did Long Qian manage to injure Wei Renwu?

Those words struck like a thousand-pound hammer, shattering Stutenberg’s fragile ego. Return to the labor camp? Ridiculous. Though the place lacked respect and military training was grueling, at least one was well-fed, warmly clothed, and comfortably housed.

Looking at her in terror, Li Xun felt a weight in his chest, stuck between rising and falling, until finally he fainted.

“I heard it all. Actually, the storage pouch was missing something, which is why Miss Hua Wu troubled him. Miss Hua Wu was just too kind to point it out,” Zhang Wen smiled slyly.

Not to mention his body was no longer what it once was, and sensations like length had changed drastically. Returning with a body like this would certainly be an adjustment—though, after all, this was just a game character, right?
