Chapter 136: A Peculiar Hobby (Part One)

Yun Shuang’s move to naturally take the lead in the investigation shocked everyone present once again. Seeing that Magistrate Ding and the others had no objections—Magistrate Ding even stroked his beard with a look of gratification as he watched the young woman—everyone else could only obediently follow suit. Soon, based on the statements from those in the shop, Yang Yuanyi and the others determined the last time the deceased had been seen: it was around 9:30 in the morning.

At this point, she could only hold on to her own persistence, because she knew Li Xu would never love her, not ever.

He claimed it was a birthday gift, but it was merely an antique he had recently acquired. He had originally intended to give it to Xiao Xiao, but since the quality was somewhat inferior, he decided to pass it on, never expecting it would coincide with Hou Shihan’s birthday.

As soon as Lan Li saw yet another chaotic brawl, she felt a massive headache coming on. While such earth-shattering battles looked spectacular with special effects, filming them was truly grueling. Lan Li twitched the corner of her mouth, wishing she could fake a heatstroke and faint.

"Good!" Ye Huang nodded, looking up, but the shadows of Shangguan Yuntian and the great army were already long gone.

Was it simply because he was her attending physician? Tang Yu doubted it. He stared at Mi Ni, his gaze deepening, his vigilance rising from the bottom of his heart.

"Why do you say that?" Nan Xia had originally intended to give a firm affirmation, but looking at Chen Tianyou’s expression, she seemed to glimpse something else entirely. Thus, she asked in return.

Lu Bo had always been a steady man, but knowing that Chu Yi possessed formidable strength, he no longer felt so lonely.

"No! I don’t want to stay in the hospital." Just as Yan Ruoyi sat up, Elder Qin and Wang Fengyi walked in.

At this moment, Mondo naturally kept his eyes wide open; he could not afford to be careless, nor could he give Lin Long any chance to counterattack.

Right now, the demon lay prone on the ground, looking somewhat at death’s door, with no strength left to struggle.

The thought of the nosebleed brought back the memory of Yan Fei’s satisfied expression after she swallowed the blood beads that had formed from it. He wondered, could his blood be so delicious to Yan Fei? For a dignified Insect Queen, she did not find his nosebleed the least bit filthy.

He smiled slightly, and a single glance told him that among those present, Ling Yue, Fairy Luoxia, and Lu Jun were the leaders.

No one spoke. Hunter and Kasur both nodded silently, both finally realizing that this was a life-or-death battle; harboring any illusions would only lead to a grave without a burial site.

Yuan Yingquan’s face twitched with rage. Even if Jin Qing and Jin Zhi were not his own flesh and blood, the fact that Jin Qing had healed the Empress Dowager meant he had to acknowledge them. Jin Xiu had been so spoiled by him that she spoke without weighing her words, making him want to slap her across the face.

"The crackdown in North City is very severe right now; it’s a bad time to make a move. We’ll just have to wait," the voice on the other end of the phone said calmly.

"I’m fine. How about you? You should really go to the hospital and have a look," Tian Jing said, hiding her inner sorrow behind a forced smile.

Fortunately, it seemed that Old Matriarch Feng was also a practitioner of martial arts; she appeared to have withstood the blow.

Chen Mingtong cupped the gemstone in his hands and slowly lifted it. He could feel its lingering warmth.

If anyone tried to bully her, the cat would bare its teeth and bristle all over. If that person persisted, the cat’s claws would surely find their mark; it was more effective than a dog.

There were seven arrows of the Seven Sins in total. Three had been consumed, and while the remaining four had also been used, they had not yet reached their full capacity.

Li Bai blew gently into her ear, sending a ripple of numbness through Lan Xin’s body.

"Your actions have already attracted the attention of Academy City. Teitoku Kakine and Shizuri Mugino are likely moves by the Academy City Board of Directors, but I have a feeling something is wrong with this whole situation..." Caroline suddenly interjected.
