Chapter 182: But I Love Him

Fang Zhiyin walked up to the bedside and asked softly, "How are you feeling now?"

Zhou Jingyi replied, "Everything is fine, Zhiyin. You've been troubled. Please head back."

Hearing this, Fang Zhiyin smiled gently and said, "Before the matriarch left, she instructed me to stay and take good care of you. I cannot let down her expectations."

Fang Zhiyin looked at Zhou Jingyi, her eyes brimming with smiles.

Ximen walked in.

Having obtained Chu Jianghe's stance, Zhang Jinzhu relaxed significantly. As he drank, he earnestly talked about his family affairs, adding a great deal of persuasiveness to his actions today.

Mark was already heavily intoxicated, slumped over the table while hugging Chu Jianghe's arm and muttering incessantly. Han Xue's sensible and virtuous demeanor today had pleasantly surprised him; people intoxicate themselves even without the wine.

This spiritual elixir was only effective for those whose cultivation was at or above the fourth rank of the Swordsman. As long as this condition was met, consuming the elixir would elevate one's cultivation to the eighth rank of the Swordsman within a short period.

"We have arrived." As he spoke, the majestic and towering gates of the imperial city came into view, though they appeared not to have been opened yet.

"Thud." A soft footstep echoed beside Hong Luoyu's ear. A figure completely wrapped in black cloth abruptly materialized inside the carriage, while the guards outside remained utterly oblivious. If an assassin possessed such capability, Hong Luoyu, the world-renowned Grand Administrator of the Heavenly Oversight Bureau, might well have met a violent end.

Next, the two of them went to experience the most thrilling roller coaster. Chu Jianghe's VIP tickets allowed them to sit in the very front row, their bodies securely locked into place by the safety restraints.

"Fang Mo, just charge forward with peace of mind. Leave those wheels to me!" A handgun appeared in Fang Mu's hand, and he instantly entered a time-stopped state. Since the explosion of high-power weaponry used to destroy the wheels would also affect Fang Mo, Fang Mu chose not to destroy them, but rather to alter their trajectory of motion.

The only reasons she remained seated here were, first, the formidable power of Lance, and second, a deep-seated sense of affinity within her bloodline—the very same feeling she had only ever experienced around bugs.

Fortunately, Chai An'an did not resist Hao Lin's intimacy; to be more precise, she currently chose to overlook it. It was easy for her to disregard it because in her past life, such intimacy between her and Hao Lin had been far too frequent.

This was precisely the City-Building Token that Chen Fusheng had seized from the contractors of the Holy Light Judgment during his battle with the Lord of Radiance.

Everyone was accustomed to her diligent and steady demeanor, so hearing her utter such unyielding words caught them completely by surprise. Yet, stirred by her words, their inner blood boiled, and Jian Yi no longer questioned her decision.

Rong Yu could no longer restrain himself. He wanted to return; he wanted to tell her the truth and explain his hidden distress. In the distance, the sound of muffled thunder mingled with the midnight watch drum.

She needed to stay far away from the royal family, far away from the imperial lineage, and marry an ordinary, honest man to live out a quiet and stable life in peace.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiping could not help but let out a sigh. Zhou Jingyi had only just broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and he had no idea how many resources and how much time she would need to make further progress in the future. He wondered whether Zhou Jingyi could persevere until that day, but he knew for certain that Zheng Changfa would always accompany her.

Upon receiving the message from the GUARD aerial base, and in order to make up for their negligence—coupled with the fact that Tokyo could not be allowed to be destroyed—the Prime Minister of Japan immediately decided to restore the subterranean water veins of Japan. Guided by the original hydrological maps, they began the gradual process of restoring the water veins that had previously been filled in and diverted, while the original subway lines were dismantled and backfilled.

Tianfu City was located in the heartland of the Central Plains' cultivation world and had always enjoyed peace and prosperity. Even amidst the widespread chaos within the cultivation world in recent years, its tranquility remained undisturbed.

Chang Guanyan's tone was so absolute that Chang Tian摩, who had been deliberating the matter, became even less inclined to follow Chang Guanyan's suggestion, purely because Chang Guanyan's demeanor was far too certain.
