Chapter 79: Coaxing Qi Yan

Since the system had bound itself to her, it ought to serve her, not threaten her at every turn.

[Host, if you work hard to earn points, perhaps there will be a surprise waiting for you once you reach one hundred thousand.]

“007, you’re trying to fool me again. When I used to earn a lot of points, you’d occasionally offer a lottery. Now, even if I confront Gu Yaxuan, the most I get is two thousand points, and you haven’t given me any reward draws.”

It wasn’t that she was fond of complaining, but ever since the system upgraded to S—

“In such a bustling place, isn’t writing storybooks a fine way to make a living?” Chu Chu asked with a smile.

The spirit beast’s death was peculiar. Su Jin glanced back; its entire paw had turned blackish-purple. It was poisoned. Before she could ponder further, she saw a swarm of beasts—each mirroring the shape of the white cat, but of various feline breeds—approaching in droves, thick with murderous intent.

Chen Feng changed to a brand-new sheet and quilt cover. Guo Yinyin lay down immediately, and Chen Feng flashed a wicked smile as he quickly climbed beside her. The moment he lay down, he felt that Guo Yinyin’s hair was especially warm, and, unable to resist, he moved a little closer.

“N-no, it’s not that.” Liao Si, intimidated by his fierce pressure, immediately lost three parts of his confidence.

Gelin watched from afar, his heart softened. What an understanding, gentle, and kind girl she was, like an April breeze, gently sweeping away the gloom that had shrouded his heart.

“I feel sharp-eared and clear-headed, refreshed and invigorated. Come, let’s find a place for a late-night snack—I’m actually a bit hungry,” Old Master Qi said with pride.

Long Qishi knew that Wei Changqin never joked meaninglessly. If he dared to say this, he must have proof.

People around would glance at Gelin more than once, quietly discussing where this handsome young man had come from, and how they’d never seen him in the county before.

“Ah.” Madam Pei understood that now, they could not simply rely on Lady You’s words to seek fault with the Jiang family.

Only then did Lady Guan break into a smile through her tears. She took Liu Bang’s arm and slowly descended the steps, their figures gradually disappearing into the darkness.

After I and everyone analyzed Rick’s three questions, we all agreed: from now on, whenever we take in survivors, we’ll ask them these three questions.

“No.” Zhu Hong averted her gaze, staring blankly out the dark window. Through the cracked glass, the sound of the waves was faint and fragmented, like a mother’s murmuring.

“May the Emperor live in endless happiness for thousands upon thousands of years.” As soon as Liu Bang settled on the imperial throne, all the ministers knelt and bowed, their voices thundering through the Weiyang Palace, so loud that it seemed the roof might be shaken open by their repeated shouts.

Having explained everything, Liao Zhiyuan stood silently, awaiting Duan Xiaolou’s judgment. Gao Jue, embracing his long blade, watched the scene unfold with amusement.

“Alright!” With that, Jin Qihao pressed his lips together, his gaze still locked onto his father lying in the intensive care unit.

“What are you thinking about, so absorbed?” Jing Qing saw him deep in thought and sighing repeatedly, his face clouded with worry, so she tilted her head and smiled as she asked.

The next day dawned bright and clear, the air warm and gentle. Though it was early winter, it didn’t feel bleak or cold—more like the beginning of spring.

In the end, facing Meng Shan, she was still somewhat nervous. The reason was that she had heard every word Duan Xiaolou had spoken in the outer hall just now. Her hearing had always been keen, and she had deliberately listened in on Duan Xiaolou and Meng Shan’s conversation, so all those things not meant for outsiders had fallen into her ears.

This was an open space—one could call it a platform—for it was so quiet as to be out of harmony with the lush branches and leaves surrounding it. But the threat here was far greater than elsewhere, for this was where the elite boss dwelled.

Every member of the mobile combat team who had arrived with the convoy gaped in awe, staring up at the giant flying saucer parked at the center of the yard. The unprecedented, colossal object pressed upon their senses with overwhelming force.
