My Mother Is a Detective In the light drizzle, fish rise to the surface. 1265 words 2026-02-09 12:53:05

Yun Yi and Yun Yin had long since become little admirers of Yun Shuang; even now, if their mother took out a brick and claimed she would make something delicious for them, they would have no doubt whatsoever. Excited by her words, they responded eagerly and followed behind Yun Shuang, scampering along.

Upon reaching the kitchen, Yun Shuang carefully scooped out the thoroughly boiled pigskin from the large pot and placed it into several big bowls she had prepared in advance. Next, she took out several rectangular wooden molds, specially crafted by the carpenter beforehand.

“Your Highness, the water in my house is exceptionally sweet. Would you care to grace us with your presence and wander the Prime Minister’s residence a bit longer? I think Big Yellow would be very happy to welcome you.” Just imagining such a scene made Lan Qingyue’s blood stir with excitement; she couldn’t help but want to roll up her sleeves and get involved.

Yet even so, she was still a step too late. Suddenly, from where Ying Gu was standing, the sound of splashing water erupted, and several figures darted out.

The Imperial Soul Diagram would never invade the Snow Emperor Mountains lightly; it would surely sense that terrifying presence.

No sooner had his feet touched the ground than he leapt up again, anxiously looking back at Yan Niang, fearing she would attack Snake Lady and her child once more. But when he glanced over, Yan Niang was already gone. Hesitating, he heard a thunderous cry behind him—a piercing infant’s wail that shook Zhang Ruyun so forcefully he jumped up from the ground.

Staff Department: a newly established unit, headed by Director Lü Weichen of the Supervision Office, with only one member.

To commend the three for their exceptional contributions in quelling the rebellion, Xiao Yifei awarded each an official post: they became commanders of the first, second, and third divisions of the newly formed Second Army under the Left Martial Guard.

The fundamental difference between the strong and the weak is this: the weak follow their own desires, while the strong constantly conquer themselves. They may resist doing certain things, yet for the sake of their goals, they force themselves to give their all.

Of course, this life-sharing is one-sided; Feng Wuqing could not share his soul with those man-eating devil flowers.

Back then, Ren Xiaohan had intended to take Wu Feng away with him, for he saw that Wu Feng was a prodigy in cultivation—truly wasted if he didn’t ascend to the Celestial Realm with him. Yet he knew well the rules of the Celestial Realm: only those who ascend could enter. Otherwise, one must endure the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations.

But unexpectedly, when he circulated his power, he sensed that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was pitifully thin. Compared to the Great Plate Realm, it was not only meager; even the wilderness or some remote island would have more.

He had promised his master not to fish, and this time, since Master Yan had always claimed fishing ruined the sect’s reputation, he could just say it was his disciple.

“You old lecher, look at you, so eager. You think I’ll cheat on you? You’d better not get up to any mischief in the outside world and come back covered in scandal. Or else, I’ll snip off your parts down below.” Fan Ying made a chopping gesture, and Sheng Jiayuan immediately felt a chill in his lower body.

Only a magical artifact could reach such a distance, and even as Jiang Chuan shifted positions, it could still attack him precisely.

Even good-natured Jin Wuque became angry; ever since arriving, those people had shown nothing but hostility. Regional discrimination was fully displayed in the Cosmic Domain.

Indeed, Mo Qingcheng had fleetingly wanted to kill Mo Qingxue just now—after all, what she’d done to the original owner was too much! But she couldn’t; not until everything was clear, she couldn’t kill her.

After the third watch of the night, Lian’er saw everyone else asleep. She walked out from Gao Yanei’s room and headed toward Gao Qiu’s sleeping quarters.

Because the lights were off, An Jinchen didn’t see that she had already opened her eyes. Xiang Nuan just watched as he walked out of the bedroom.

The scene was chaotic; once everything finally settled down, Village Chief Li felt dizzy, but he still made sure to stop by before Jiang Qinyu went home.

He already knew that today, the man behind him was determined to wipe him out completely and silence him for good.
