Chapter 30: I am so sorry, Jiaojiao, I am late!

Listening to such arrogant and vulgar words spilling from Cao Manman’s thick, coarse lips, a fresh flicker of fury ignited in Xia Huajiao’s almond-shaped eyes.

The reason Xia Huajiao had been unemployed for two months was that four months ago, her boyfriend of half a year, Zhong Hanlong, had secretly pursued the daughter of a board member while still with her. This led her to resign in indignation from the company where she had worked for three years. She then took a new job, only to be subjected to sexual harassment, which forced her to resign in anger again two months ago, leading to her current situation.

When I finished my meal and left the cafeteria, Zhao Xuanxuan was still beside me, her mouth moving incessantly, unable to stop.

"Sixth Elder, here are two human pharmacists we brought back to see if they might be able to save our Fourth Brother," the black Ape King said, bowing respectfully upon meeting the old ape.

The photos were taken in a highly continuous sequence and were indeed very clear, though there were so many of them that it was almost like a burst-fire series.

Setting aside the many tricks this fellow had up his sleeve, whether he could even defeat his opponent with his own strength was another matter entirely, forcing him to hold back for the time being. What kind of poison was this, anyway? And where was the antidote?

"Old Na, if it weren't for Shijie inviting Mr. Zhan, I suspect I would have already... alas! I wonder if Mr. Zhan is coming this time?" asked Da Feng.

Bringing Jiang Guangguang back was not actually his idea, but that of Zhou Lai and Zhong Xin. They thought that bringing her back settled the matter, never considering the danger she would be in if she returned and her family background were exposed.

He knew that Ning Fan had some skills, perhaps even exceptional ones; even Sato Shige had suffered a crushing defeat at his hands.

Tonight, Brother Feng and his two bodyguards had easily defeated more than a dozen thugs, proving that they were truly capable.

Tang Huaijin, who had been prepared to stir up trouble with Nan Yu again, was stunned by her words.

"It is not that the Emperor frightened Sister Lan, but rather..." Li Yanniang deliberately paused, her eyes fixed directly on me.

Her clothes were clean, so she felt fine wearing them again, but his were different. He had been caught in the rain last night, and although they had dried, they remained wrinkled and completely unwearable.

As his physical strength gradually ebbed away, Lin Xiao’s speed slowed to a crawl; each step forward required a monumental effort.

Aside from their relationship growing ever stronger, everything else remained unchanged from the previous month of life.

Sheng Shi’s words lacked his earlier anger, nor were they a low growl, yet Liunian could hear that he was entirely serious.

Sun Fengzhao, who only had a superficial understanding of Professor Lu Qixin’s Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation technique, suddenly found knowledge he had never known before triggered in his mind when he accidentally activated the skill.

Only now did he have the time and energy to care for her; if not for her today, he feared no one would have known Ling Baolu had fallen into the water.

The Suiyi Town Grand Festival performance would rely on Aipom, so it would be a disaster if anything went wrong now.

Ling Jiajia’s blunt words made Situ Qing’s gaze flicker slightly, though he quickly regained his composure.

However, when the two reached the vicinity of the bridge, they were disappointed to find it was not yet finished. To be precise, it was just a hair’s breadth from completion; both sides were largely constructed, but the middle section was still hanging, leaving them feeling so frustrated they could almost spit blood. From a distance, it had looked finished, but up close, it was clearly incomplete.

As Ling Baolu and Qi Yu walked over, someone immediately grabbed their hands and pulled them to dance around the bonfire.

"Later, she died. Just as I had made up my mind to pursue her—it was my fault in the past—the very next day, she was in a car accident and left this world. When I rushed to the hospital, she was already gone," Lin Xiao said.

Lu Huang was very grateful to Qing Eleven for not letting him play a fifth round in a row, as he already felt quite exhausted.
