Chapter 116: Buying a House, Are You Interested in My Sister?

“Even now, it would not be too late to get a divorce.”

His older female cousin was indignant. “Why stay with someone like that? You already have a son, and someone to support you in your old age. You might as well get divorced.”

“Divorce is still a matter of personal choice.”

As the saying went, even the wisest judge could not settle a family dispute. Director Du wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, unwilling to make a rash judgment.

“Divorce would be bad for Yi.”

His eldest aunt had her reservations. “He is still only a child. His parents’ divorce would be detrimental to his growth. These days, so many people say that the forces of darkness are making a comeback. They merely fell dormant after the Divine War, and now the time has come for them to awaken.

“More importantly, he differs from Adelia in another crucial respect: unlike Adelia, he was not born into a family of potion-makers! That is what the potion-makers truly care about. After all, every potion-making family begins with a remarkably gifted potion-maker.”

By the end, Opeia’s body was trembling slightly. Her expression was contorted with hatred, and her eyes burned with fury and seething resentment.

“The State of Zhao and the State of Liang have been at war for two days. After receiving Sir’s secret instructions, Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother immediately set out for Snowflake Terrace. They should be on their way back by now,” Ye Shang replied methodically.

Jian Jiemeng sent Jian Ningmeng straight back from Room 1901. From then on, the two of them would never have to queue for a bath again.

When Xia Ningmeng and Jian Jiemeng arrived, they could already hear many people talking inside the house.

Although everything had already been laid out before him, Zhuge Fangming still could not make sense of it. He could not shake the feeling that they had overlooked something extremely important.

After that incident, however, An Ran no longer believed that simply treating the other person as family would make them treat her as family in return.

One had to understand that the Gu Corporation’s products had always been in greater demand domestically than the supply could satisfy. They were luxury-brand goods, too, with extraordinarily generous profit margins.

I frowned deeply, then suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the kitchen. Puzzled, I walked toward it, but with every step I took, the temperature rose sharply. By the time I reached the kitchen door, I felt as though I had stepped into a furnace.

Even with the protection of the Purple-Energy Heavenly Net, Zhang Ye was struck until stars burst before his eyes, flipping through dozens of somersaults in midair.

I wiped the tears from my face, took off my combat uniform, and hoisted Wild Wolf onto my back once more. Then I used the uniform to bind him there so that his corpse would not fall.

When I got Han Ruoyun’s number, I did not call immediately. Instead, I drove my brother’s car back into the city.

Fortunately, no one came by at that moment. Otherwise, they would have been frightened unconscious by the blood covering the ground.

The Gourd Daoist had not abandoned some trivial object. What he had given up was the chance to increase his strength. Once he obtained the Golden Spirit Pearl, he would have had the opportunity to multiply his power by nearly a thousandfold. Yet he did not hesitate in the slightest. Calmly and decisively, he abandoned the Golden Spirit Pearl in order to rescue the Colossal Sky-Devouring Serpent.

Hearing Scarface’s words, Su You did not answer or attack. It was not that he lacked the courage to strike; he merely wanted to buy Liu Mei, who was fleeing outward, a little more time.

Li Ming’s overwhelming transformation caught many people off guard. Even Peng Ruijuan was left stunned.

This was the first time Han Xue had ever been so bold as to show Li Tian her affection. Her cheeks were flushed bright red, and she naturally did not dare remain in such a place for another second.

Hongye understood the market very well. Few people traded jade gourds, and their prices were artificially inflated. They were usually bought through bidding, and purchasing one came at far too steep a price.

The two boats were already quite close. The other boat had come to a complete stop, and the fishermen aboard looked terrified, screaming at the top of their lungs.

“To hell with surrendering! Emperor Wu, do you really take yourself for the emperor?”

Zhou Yun had yet to speak when Zixia unexpectedly shouted on his behalf. At the same time, everyone else nearby gathered around him.
