Chapter 87: I’m Worried About You (Part Two)

Yun Shuang was slightly taken aback. Although she knew Jiang Xiao’s feelings for those two children were unusual, she hadn't expected him to agree so readily. Especially considering he was unaware that those two children were very likely his own flesh and blood. That made his promise all the more precious.

Yun Shuang gazed at him, her eyes complex. “Very well, I’ll trouble you, Commander Jiang. Those two children will surely be beside themselves with joy. I won’t disturb you any longer.”

On his way home, Wang Shi saw a cat, pure white from head to tail, very much like the one Qin Zhi had once raised. He bought it with silver and brought it back to his residence.

Shen Donglei’s gaze was cold as he scolded Qian Shan, who shrank his neck and obediently closed his mouth, sulking in silence.

So many years had passed, and he had always been suppressed, never seeing the light of day. His hair was dull, his body gaunt and bony, nothing like the imagined image of a peerless hero.

She had done nothing wrong, yet the emperor and empress suppressed her as a show of concern for Shen Youbai. How ironic—she never realized she could be so useful.

Luo Qi felt inexplicably anxious; her stomach clenched in spasms, pain bringing tears to her eyes.

To this day, in this age of the decline of magic, could the East still produce formidable masters? Even when a great cultivator appeared, they could not be too extraordinary, much less compare to the deep foundation of Jerusalem.

But this was only the beginning. People from every forbidden zone were making their moves, hoping to get a share, viewing the Perfected Holy Body as prey, coveting the undigested treasures within it.

Just as my baton was about to strike his shoulder, he suddenly twisted aside. Though the movement was small, he managed to evade both the baton and Qian Shan’s attack. At the same time, instead of retreating, he advanced, closing the distance between us in the blink of an eye.

“When did you become a veterinarian?” Yun Caiwei watched Yang Xiaoyao tending to the two horses, finding it all rather novel.

Everyone outside the door craned their necks to look, only to see the Crown Prince and Xue Ying tightly embracing, with Xue Ying repeatedly kissing the Prince’s cheeks. They drew sharp breaths in shock.

Zhuang Huiya believed it, and even seriously considered Qin Wan’s suggestion. Everything else was negotiable; the only real issue was her job.

“Yes, yes, brother, you’re so knowledgeable—clearly a man of wide experience.” Xueshan Xinshi immediately offered flattery, which made the patron, surrounded by beauties, quite pleased, showing off in front of the girls.

Cheng Jiajia, however, felt so embarrassed under those eyes that she wanted to hide. The gaze was simply too overwhelming. She looked to A Yi for help.

Xu Ning took a safety charm from her pocket. Her family was poor, she had no money and nothing else to give, so she offered the safety charm she had worn before as thanks.

It was fortunate for Old Dog and his group; the child-snatchers were gathering their victims, ready to act. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible to catch them all at once.

Judging by Su Yinli’s current data, sending her back to the world of the living wasn’t too risky. After these months, Qin Wan believed she could sense just how well the ghosts of the underworld had treated her.

“Didn’t you just tell Lisa today that you have your own company, and you’re going to release your own album?” Xiao Yan smirked.

When the Rokaku army’s reinforcements approached Rokaku Yoshiharu’s unit, they were shocked to discover that the Haibei backup—who was supposed to be flanking Rokaku Yoshiharu—was not facing away, but had instead formed up facing them.

Given Old Lady Tian’s stubborn nature, even if Gu Yunmiao was unwilling, she and Madam Xue Deng would force Gu Yunmiao down the secret passage.

When the feast ended and the maids cleared the dishes, replacing them with tea and fruit, they left at Duan Zhixing’s signal, leaving only him and Cheng Muyou to sit in the courtyard and speak heart-to-heart.

The man with the bushy beard glanced at the vast lotus marsh, his gaze filled with concern as he urged his close friend not to stray from the right path.
