Chapter 114: Takeout!

The rain was still falling outside the window, but Meng Rongrong’s anxious heart had finally settled.

She was not quite as frightened anymore. Perhaps it was because having Chen Fan by her side gave her an overwhelming sense of security.

Yet she still could not sleep. The moment she closed her eyes, all she could think of was the scene at the Meng family’s old residence that day.

The old matriarch seated on the platform, her face filled with kindly benevolence.

That...

“I can’t remember!” Gu Nianfei raised her right arm and swung a punch. At such close range, Hou Yue had no time to react. The blow landed heavily against her chest, followed by a horizontal kick to her stomach. Yet Hou Yue did not move an inch. She immediately counterattacked, punching Gu Nianfei in the face, and the two once again began grappling at close quarters.

“I really never expected you to know how to play the piano!” Peach interrupted Gu Nianfei. “Then why didn’t you become a piano teacher?” Peach lifted her head and gazed at Gu Nianfei.

After Qiu Luo learned of this, he realized that Mosangke had apparently noticed him. Since that was the case, he decided to go all the way and strike first, beginning to devise a plan for a surprise attack.

Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi no longer assigned him any real work. Zhang Fanyou clearly understood that the position he held was nothing more than a useless sinecure.

The railings on either side of the bridge were carved with openwork patterns. From a distance, they formed a symmetrical design: wings swept outward from the center, fully unfurled, with snow-white feathers seemingly flying between them.

“Lanore seems to know something, but he doesn’t appear willing to tell us...” Cassius said.

“I don’t want money!” Gu Nianfei replied calmly. “Do you really think I’m short of money?” An’an thought about it carefully and realized that Gu Nianfei truly would not care about such a small sum. After asking her for help today, An’an had no idea how she would ever repay her.

“Why should I eat poison?! I refuse to lose!” After saying this, he shoved Left Revolver aside and ran back into the house, leaving Left Revolver standing there at a loss.

“Since you want it, then I’ll give you a chance!” Marquis Wen emptied the contents of the sack onto the ground.

The three men seemed to understand something. While they stood there bewildered, Dian Wei escorted them out of the command tent. Before long, screams began echoing from outside. Judging from their volume, the three envoys probably no longer had a single intact bone or an inch of uninjured skin left.

Wei Zilong was dressed entirely in white and wore a conical hat, giving him an air of mystery. The hat concealed his face, making his features impossible to discern.

“Is the Azure Dragon Emperor really that powerful?” Qin Tian asked curiously, having listened in stunned amazement.

Wan Guan’s high-spirited enthusiasm instantly deflated. He slumped his head and returned to his former seat, thoroughly dejected.

“Ahem... The groom may now kiss his brides!” Qing Yun announced.

Qing Lian did not hesitate. He leaned forward and kissed Su Sha Suman on the cheek.

“We can take the shortest route to the central villa. Look at the water tower. The route from the water tower to the central villa is shorter, and the risk is comparatively low,” Wang Chaoyang said.

Lin Yue’er was only seventeen at the time. She was probably either not yet pregnant or already carrying a child. As for whether she would ever meet her unreliable biological father again, no one could say. What a pity. The moment Lin Xingchen stepped inside, he froze.

“Heh heh, Brother Zilong, you’re too polite. We’re all family here, so don’t make it sound so formal.” Xu Ping was an old hand, and every word and gesture of his was warm and affable, filling Zhao Zilong with a comforting sense of warmth.

At that moment, Xia Zheng swept his spear through the air. A dazzling violet radiance suddenly burst from its tip.

In recent years, the overall strength of the LMS region had grown increasingly weak. It had gradually declined from once being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the strongest regions to merely contending with teams from the two major LCS regions. Apart from the QAQ team, the LMS region had no other professional teams capable of achieving impressive results.
