She had loathed this sort of contact ever since her previous life. With both hands, she shoved the lump of flesh toward Dong Ercheng, who was chatting merrily with the driver.

Caught completely off guard, Dong Ercheng found himself staring straight into his younger son’s beady eyes before he had even had time to reprimand his eldest daughter for failing to read the situation.

Then the driver seemed to notice something and was forced to slam on the brakes, stopping beneath a soapberry tree by the roadside.

“What happened? Is something wrong with your daughter? We should turn around and take her to the hospital!”

The driver, Xiao Wang, got out of the car. Seeing the girl’s pale face, labored breathing, and wheezing, he was instantly at a loss.

He had noticed this delicate and charming girl from the very beginning, from...

Seeing her pained expression, Xiong Qu grew even more delighted. Everything before her should have belonged to her, yet someone had taken it away. How could she possibly endure that? Bai Qinghuan finally could not bear the pain any longer and cried out.

The group arrived at the Ministry of National Defense’s operations room. With the aid of an electronic sand table, Zhaohui marked the information of the troops participating in Peace 2004 one by one, while also marking the military deployments of the Youtai Kingdom.

She could only glare at Xu Nuo in fury. Yet from beginning to end, Xu Nuo did not spare her even a proper glance.

After casually sweeping her eyes over the surroundings, she walked straight to the back row, took her seat, pulled out a sheet of scratch paper, and continued working on the problem she had not yet solved.

After their passionate kiss, Bai Qinghuan and Huo Beiting noticed that the couples around them were also kissing passionately in the middle of the street. The two exchanged a smile, interlocked their fingers, and continued strolling.

The Guo army’s firepower was fierce. Since this was only a Japanese infantry battalion, some of the heavy weapons had not been brought along. As a result, the Japanese firepower was actually inferior to that of the Guo army.

A dull thud was followed by the crisp crack of a shattered thighbone. The ferocious Guang soldier from moments before was sent flying by a single punch from Yun Hong, hurled a full seven or eight meters away.

It was all because of that man. Why did he have to be so devastatingly handsome and alluring? He made it nearly impossible for anyone to control their feelings.

Flying demon birds possessed intelligence and could be controlled with beast-taming rings, but they could not speak human language. To truly command them well and keep them alive as long as possible required a skilled falconer.

Housing had become a key issue in people’s sense of happiness. Rather than making the real-estate tycoons feel happy, it would be better to make the people happy. Whatever the real-estate magnates could do, the state could do even better.

Lu Feifei was stunned by his words. The man had told her not to worry him. Heh, that was only right. He was the one who had taken her away, so he ought to be responsible for her safety.

Lu Junyi was so furious that his nose nearly twisted out of shape. He thought, My master forbade me from killing you together with the others, which is tantamount to giving you a chance to live. Whether you can escape from the hands of someone else is up to you. I never imagined you would be so ungrateful. Instead of resisting this band of Jin invaders, you came looking for a fight with me. Have you truly gone mad?

He intended to pass the throne to Xin Ru, then travel to the ends of the earth and search every inch of the land until he captured Liu Chengwei.

The Zhang brothers nodded at the same time and said in unison, “Let’s go down and take another look. But we have to bring the water-splitting spikes.”

The brothers’ solemn tone made it sound as though they were preparing to sacrifice themselves for a noble cause, leaving everyone aboard the boat utterly baffled. Was there danger underwater? Why else would they need weapons specially designed for use beneath the water?

The spectators suddenly seemed to have found evidence. One after another, they pointed indignantly at the ancient zither the performer had played and shouted.

Martial cultivation and immortal cultivation had always been the two most important branches of the Great Dao. Although the facts had proven throughout history that immortal cultivation made it easier to attain enlightenment and sainthood than martial cultivation, martial cultivation had never withered away or become extinct.

Faced with more than a dozen brawny boxers, Ye Lengfeng looked at Boss Xiong with an expression that said he would leave if he wished, stay if he wished, and no one could stop him.

“What did you say?” Zhao Qi froze for a moment, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The strength that had been supporting him vanished instantly. He staggered back several steps before collapsing to the ground.

He queued up behind the cultivators, walked to the counter, and used a wooden pair of tongs to pick up his food and rice.

Seria gazed at the cityscape rushing backward outside the window. For no discernible reason, she felt that once she left this time, it might be a very long while before she returned.

Yan Bingxue had not yet finished speaking when Su Chen suddenly reached out and seized her hand from across the space between them.

After all, to Su Chen now, nothing was more important than having the whole family live together in harmony.

The monsters began pondering how to escape. The minotaur was at the greatest disadvantage, since it was the slowest runner.

A gun battle of this magnitude was taking place in broad daylight. What ordinary citizen could possibly tolerate that? But now everything had been transformed into a police operation to encircle and eliminate terrorists. Every fault had suddenly become a merit. Some police officers received secret orders and dressed all the dead assassins inside the building in black suits.

After escaping for some distance, the Furious Vajra was eventually overtaken by the yellow radiance. The light transformed into a golden sword and effortlessly pierced through the former’s formidable body.

Just then, a somewhat weak voice sounded. Jian Jingchen was taken aback when he heard it, but in the next instant he realized what it was.

Seeing the giant that had suddenly appeared, the Eight-Headed Serpent was not afraid in the slightest. All eight enormous heads lunged forward at once and tore into Zeus’s body.

To prevent discovery by the otherworldly realm, the Transmigration Pill would automatically destroy the physical body, allowing one to cross over in the form of a divine soul.

“Cough, cough. Dad, well, you need to let me explain...” At some point, the person on the other end of the phone had become He Chen.

Manjianghong was in excellent condition, and only He Liuhun was still able to approach him. The horse’s constant fussing meant that He Liuhun had to feed and groom it himself every day. What a collection of bad habits—back in your old stable, weren’t you filthy all the time anyway?

This conversation had cleared the clouds and revealed the sun. He Liuhun seemed to have begun realizing what he wanted to do. Of course, he would have to get through this difficult period first.

“You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I don’t know!” Zhao Xiaoran closed his eyes and gave the exact same reply.

“No, that’s the car I stole from my sister today. I drove it out without even telling her. Weren’t we supposed to go to a major auction? I figured we ought to arrive in style and look impressive, right? So I took the car out for a spin first thing this morning.” Fatty Wan looked up and spoke without the slightest concern.

“I have an ulterior motive! I have an agenda! So from now on, we shouldn’t see each other anymore. Bye!” Situ Xuan said impatiently before turning around and walking away.

In fact, the wound on Jungle Wolf’s comb was not a serious problem for a fighting cock. If the head or neck of a fighting cock were injured, that would be a truly severe attack.

“That’s difficult to say. If Yan Facheng joins forces with Yu Jin’s students and protégés in every prefecture throughout the realm to launch a rebellion, I fear the entire Great Xia will truly be plunged into turmoil,” Wu Guangzhao said worriedly.
