Chapter 65 You Truly Are a Beast
In the inner quarters, women are expected to avoid meeting strange men, let alone have any physical contact.
Song Qiao tried to shake him off, but Shen Yan's hand clung to her as if magnetized, impossible to brush away.
"Shen Yan, I have repeatedly exercised patience with you for the Marquis's sake. If you persist in this lingering behavior, I will call for help."
"Go ahead and call. It would be best to summon everyone in this estate so they can..."
Therefore, they were even more dedicated in their care for the Princess. Although their food, clothing, and daily provisions could not be called the finest in the entire capital, they were at the absolute peak of what those maids could currently achieve.
Moonlight took over the command smoothly, methodically instructing everyone to dodge the treacherous floor tiles while launching attacks against the boss.
Zhang Chu's mother froze for a moment, then narrowed her eyes to scrutinize me, a flash of displeasure crossing her gaze. "What relation are you to Li Xiu?" she asked bluntly.
If that really turned out to be the case, Ling Feng couldn't help but worry: what would he do if William dragged him over to sort through documents every single day from now on?
Stepping out of the corridor, an explosion of deafening music hit her head-on. Unless one shouted directly into the other person's ear, conversation was utterly impossible.
It seemed she needed to quicken her pace. Judging by her cheap father's tone, once this year passed, he would start looking around for a strict governance tutor for her. By then, opportunities to sneak out of the estate would be even scarcer.
A jolt ran through Jinxi's heart, and she vaguely guessed the reason why Zitong was here. However, this was not something she cared about, so she feigned ignorance, shook her head, and led the three maids into the hot spring pool.
Suddenly, the scent of grapes in the air became even more sickening than the hospital's disinfectant. I pushed away the grapes in front of me, pulled the duvet up, and curled my body deep inside.
Tony ran until around one o'clock in the afternoon before Ye Nan finally waved at him, signaling that he could rest. Instantly, Tony's legs turned to jelly, and he collapsed heavily onto the ground, gasping for great breaths of air.
"Don't worry, Boss!" Ning Ning was overwhelmingly happy. Gone was the reluctance she had shown over the past few days, and even her terror of the surrounding ghosts had completely vanished.
For a fraction of a second, I was astonished—astonished by the words Chen Luoluo had spoken, and astonished by her sheer bluntness. Yet the very next second, I grew calm as well. What she said was entirely correct; including myself, everyone thought the exact same way.
"Die, fiend!" Taoist Priest Tan seemed to have become immensely formidable, his voice booming with profound resonance. Though he lacked a weapon in hand, he pointed his right hand in a sword incantation, and the condensed magical energy unexpectedly formed a terrifyingly oppressive energy sword, which shot swiftly toward Jia Zhengjin.
This clearly meant she was angry, yet this sudden burst of anger left Xiao Shuyi somewhat bewildered and baffled. As far as she knew, her mother's college friend could definitely be considered the top figure at the municipal hospital, and getting her placed there through their alumni connection shouldn't be all that difficult.
Trying to rely on physical body movements and martial cultivation techniques for an attack seemed somewhat impossible now. How, then, could she break the current predicament?
Young Master Zhao took only a couple of bites before putting down his chopsticks. Following Young Master Zhao's lead, Wang Quan immediately set his down as well, and the two began to chat idly. Their conversation revolved entirely around romantic and leisurely topics. After listening for a few sentences, Su Nan ignored them and dedicated himself entirely to the food.
Hu Shiqi was also a popular celebrity. After exchanging a few brief words with Nie Wei, he was led away by his manager to speak with a certain investor.
Snake Brother stared fixedly at Chen Zui with a viper-like gaze, remaining silent. Having roamed the underworld for so many years, he still understood the simplest rule that one must bow one's head when under a low roof.
Several figures suddenly soared out from within the Spirit Beast clan, flying into the arena to drag back the battered and mutilated body of the golden-haired man. The entire Spirit Beast contingent fell into a heavy, stifling silence; at a moment of such crushing defeat, no one could possibly feel at ease.
Hearing Jiang Zhihao's words, the three attendants obeyed instantly, swiftly turning around and departing with polite courtesy.
