Chapter 60: An Inexplicable Kiss

Mu Yi’s kiss was a brief, light touch that did not last long, and his lips quickly pulled away from Song Qiao’s face.

Yet his body remained suspended over her, unmoving, as he glared down at her through clenched teeth.

Song Qiao had no strength left to dodge, forced to gaze back at him with a pair of exhausted eyes, feeling his presence envelop her like a massive mountain.

"From now on, your life belongs to me. As long as I don't let you die, you cannot—"

"If that's the case, what are you all waiting for? I'm standing right here, which of you will come?" Jin Fengyuan asked with a light laugh.

The man in yellow instantly entered a state of high alert upon seeing the message, but his apprentice, Sophia, cared nothing for such things.

Qin Feng did not dwell on it much at the moment; he only wanted to capture the man in black before him. He already knew he had been tricked—that old man was indeed lying to him, and that button was not a camera at all, but a real bomb.

Song Jin unhesitatingly bared her breast, allowing her son to feast while simultaneously offering the child's father a visual treat. Although she had just given birth, her figure had not lost its shape; she remained as alluring as ever. Casting a cold, sideways glance at Ma Xianglan, she thought to herself: She's older than I am, and born of a whore besides—does she really think she can compete with me?

The next day, following the schedule previously arranged between his media company's boss and the Life Foundation, Eddie arrived at the Foundation's base as a popular journalist to conduct an exclusive interview with the young and promising Dr. Drake.

As a million-strong army gathered at the border, back in the imperial capital of the Tianyang Kingdom, representatives of the Ziyuan Kingdom were still arguing endlessly over the matter of a political marriage.

The Knight of the White Thorn was probably in his forties this year, while Madam Marina was already well past sixty, nearing the threshold of seventy.

"We'll talk back at the estate," Doflamingo said with a wave, then resumed his stride toward the King's Plateau.

One could not find the tall, full-figured women of Datong here; instead, there were only squads of government soldiers carrying long spears and heavy halberds patrolling back and forth. Even the men not wearing official uniforms had rugged physiques and fierce gazes, walking with a brisk, powerful stride—a stark contrast to the interior provinces.

After repeated deliberations, the compromise reached was that outside the yamen, the provincial inspector would bow first to the regional censor to demonstrate his loyalty to the Emperor, and once inside the yamen, the censor would return the bow to the inspector as a sign of respect for a senior official and imperial commissioner. The present situation was that a Buddhist temple differed from a yamen, but the general rules remained the same; presumably, they would have to rehearse it just like that shortly.

"An advance warning indicates that an enemy attack is imminent, requiring personnel evacuation and combat readiness," replied He Yu, a former mercenary, without hesitation, knowing he was in for serious trouble.

The venerables seated around the room all twitched slightly. Ning泽's response somewhat exceeded their expectations. What was the meaning of this? Treating a husband and wife separately with distinct measures? It was truly inscrutable.

Nevertheless, Su Yue relied on her wit and intelligence to carve out an entirely new path utilizing her own abilities: psychological counseling and mental therapy.

"Buzz, buzz!" Park Tai-joon glanced back at the phone, swiped it with one hand to put it on speaker, and then continued with his work.

The CIA actually used the word "consultation," which was enough to show the sincerity of their attitude. Most of the time, that word could not be found in the dictionary of CIA officials.

For this single deed, all past transgressions were redeemed. Even if his dharmic realm were shattered, his Dao seed heavily wounded, and all his plans reduced to naught, he harbored no resentment or regrets. Instead, deep down inside, he felt immense gratitude toward him—even while knowing that such an irrational emotion was wrong, he gladly embraced it, because something lost and regained was more precious than anything else in the world.

At this rate, even if she did not call off the betrothal to the Murong family, the Murong family would likely come knocking on their door to dissolve it themselves.

Li Yuling was extremely frustrated right now. Targeted by dirty tricks right from the moment she logged on, although her last-hits had not fallen behind, her level and minion wave control were severely lagging.

"Yes, I am very pleased." Liu Yuanzhou’s eyes moved up and down, which presumably meant nodding.
