Chapter 42 My Heart Aches for You

The surroundings were dead silent, making Song Qiao's words sound exceptionally clear.
As her voice trailed off, Song Qiao stared fixedly at Mu Yan without even blinking, fearing she might miss the slightest reaction from him.
Lately, the more she thought about it, the stranger it felt.
It made no sense for Mu Yi to joke about such a matter; the jade pendant looked to be of superior quality, hardly an ordinary item.
Let alone Mu Yan, even if it reached—

Seeming to hear the commotion, Xu Kun raised his head and looked over, just in time to catch Gu Zhen's shy smile.
Resting her cheek in her hand, she drifted once more into a pleasant daydream, imagining how happy she would be if she had a real mother.
Turning, bending, lifting her sword, rising on her toes... With Su Nuan's movements, an invisible yet clearly perceptible ripple gently oscillated outward, like a fresh and sweet breeze sweeping past. Everyone felt a sense of physical and mental ease, and the dancer on the high stage seemed like a beam of light captivating every gaze.

Gong Can chuckled as he stepped on the accelerator. The sports car roared back to life, speeding along the coastal highway toward a certain destination.

"Can I come down?" Gu Yu'er asked, her legs already dangling in mid-air as she tentatively reached toward the ground, waiting for the man's reply.
My dear Sand, in my heart you are always the best. I believe that one day you will return here. If you happen to flip over this postcard, my dear, would you still be willing to bless me once more?
At this point, Su Nuan's goal was no longer to establish authority; she was already prepared for a forced breakthrough, and a battle seemed on the verge of erupting.
"Miss Shen, a single thought of error leads to worlds of difference. I hope Miss Shen will consider this carefully," the abbot said calmly to the person before him, tossing out these unfathomable words.
Ran Bai held a pair of white jade chopsticks in her slender, fair hands, gently poking at her bowl of white rice, looking rather absent-minded.
Had You Shiyi's husband not possessed some capability, and had her bodyguards not been truly formidable, Lin Fengling would have already had You Shiyi bound and thrown into the river from the nearby restroom.
Shu Qing blushed as she spoke. Although they had already shared the most intimate of moments, she still possessed a thin skin.
The premise of treating prisoners of war with leniency is that those prisoners must actually be "human." In Song Che's eyes, the Japanese pirates were worse than beasts; keeping them alive in this world would only waste rice.
"So you told this story just to say these words to me?" Lin Wanzhou blinked her watery eyes as she looked at Xu Cheng.
He could never understand how the old man in gray, completely devoid of hidden strength or inner energy, had managed to restrain him and prevent him from exerting any force.

This Taoist temple was filled with orphans he had taken in, but times were different now; orphans could not grow up drinking dew and eating wild herbs—they required money to be raised.
When the Liu faction mobilized the Northern and Southern Town-Fugui Offices, they practically went all out against the officials of their own faction.
The lookout man's face was caked in a thick layer of plaster. Although he also brandished a knife, flailing it wildly before Ji Yun, he was now in a position of extreme passivity.
Aside from these frequently occupied areas, the weeds within several meters around the shed had been completely cleared away, and some branches and fallen leaves were piled nearby.
With someone clearly stirring the pot behind the scenes, the number of people cursing Feng Song as "shameless" gradually increased, mirroring the relentless and unstoppable torrent of abuse online, presenting a completely one-sided momentum.
"Nuan Nuan! Exactly what kind of relationship do you have with that Fang Cheng? When are you coming back?" Her parents' furious voices boomed through the phone.
"Er, I'm feeling a bit unwell. What about you? Your complexion is so pale, is something wrong?" Her concern instantly filled Qianqian's heart with warmth, making her feel slightly less desolate.
"This." The guard was in a difficult spot. Everyone in the palace knew that Princess Zili was a person who must not be offended; yet, at this hour, the palace gates were already closed, and without the Emperor's handwritten decree, no one was permitted to leave the palace at will.
