Chapter Forty-Three: Heart Extraction (Second Update)

Yun Yin was speechless.

Yun Shuang gazed up at the sky in silence, a trace of regret flickering in her heart for having told such a lie to them.

Decisively, she changed the subject with a firm tone, scooping the two little ones onto the bed. “Alright, enough of this chatter. Mother has to rise early tomorrow for work, and both Yi’er and Yin’er will be helping too.”

The bed, once cold and hard, became warm and comfortable the moment thick quilts were laid atop it.

Yun Yi immediately fell into the trap.

“I’m sorry I won’t be able to attend your wedding. I wish Master and Mistress happiness, that you may have children soon and grow old together in unity,” Ning Han said.

“Chief Lu, here are the account books—this is all that remains.” With that, Lu Li handed the ledger over to Lu Xiu.

The Ancient Dragon of Taixu was always shrouded in mystery. Even the Soul Clan had rarely crossed paths with it, which was why, when he first met Zhu Kun, he hadn’t recognized him at all.

Liu Ming, the long-faced man, wore a troubled expression as if he held a reverence for life—yet a flicker of viciousness soon betrayed the ugliness lurking beneath his facade.

“Sour, spicy, numbing, sweet—anything will do.” To everyone’s surprise, Ye Li spoke up, his voice betraying no emotion, simply stating his needs with calm detachment.

Moreover, Gu Qianyu was the sort who publicly displayed affection without even realizing it—she all but wanted to plaster photos of the two of them to her own forehead.

“I have heard that the Crown Princess delights in cooking, often preparing meals personally for His Highness. Witnessing the harmony between the prince and princess, I am filled with admiration—thus, I present this gift,” said Prince Xiang.

At this age, girls in ancient times had only two possibilities: either they were still waiting to be married, or they had already wed.

If Lu Xiu truly allied herself with Rong Jing, he would have to find a way to eliminate her. If not, it would be best to win her over, for she was talented, and it would be a shame to waste such ability.

She watched as the man, his back to her, fumbled with the knots behind him, desperately trying to free himself from the binding ropes as he undressed.

“Hello,” Sain greeted awkwardly in Japanese, clearly having made an effort to prepare.

Given Da Shuang’s temperament, he truly wanted to do away with Lin Chu. However, the lady had already issued her orders: since Lin Chu had once been with the Divine Healer Hall, her offense was merely failing to recognize someone important out of greed, not evil at heart. She could be forgiven, and there was no need for him to kill her himself.

In the vast city of Wangdu, only this street held any scattered news about the Ghost Hall. Naturally, Bai Xingyan was unwilling to leave so easily.

The good news was that, with WE’s current lineup, it was nearly impossible for them to attempt stealing the Baron.

As soon as the words were spoken, Guan Ping had already leapt into action. In an instant, he appeared before the man.

The barrier guarding the site of the Palace Master’s selection was a marvelously intricate array, rumored to have been created by the first Palace Master herself. It cleverly drew upon the endless water energy of the boundless sea to sustain itself—and the formation excelled at concealment, wondrous and mysterious indeed.

Saeko Busujima didn’t even display a hint of unease; she knelt as if resigned to her fate, like a condemned prisoner awaiting judgment.

Qian Sanyun opened the door, and sure enough, Chen Hongzhi barged in with a menacing air. Following close behind were two strong young men, who were likely his bodyguards.

That night, the Mountain City Asia Film Festival came to a close. Reports from major media outlets emerged, and once again, Jingcheng Blu-ray proved itself to be a leader in the domestic industry.

It seemed nearly impossible for Ning Hao to use the Nameless Clan’s residence to achieve his goals—but never say never.

After he drove away, I remembered I’d left my luggage in his backseat. I hurriedly took out my phone to call him and ask him to turn back, but then I recalled he had urgent matters to attend to, and I wasn’t in a rush for my things, so I put my phone away and didn’t call.
