Volume 1, Chapter 41: Vying for Xiao Shilang
Ye Zhen shook her head. She knew the Old Madame’s mindset and behavior like the back of her hand. The second branch had always been the apple of her eye, and she operated under the philosophy of protecting them as long as she could. But, Grandmother, are you certain you can shield the Second Master and Lady Lin for a lifetime?
Qi Ming walked into the cave dwelling with Luo Caiyu and retrieved a pink dress from his storage ring. The dress emitted a faint, multi-colored light, appearing not merely as clothing, but as a work of art.
"Step back!" Master Qing could not discern the underlying issue either, but in such situations, testing it was the only way to find the source of the problem.
The Twin Ghosts of Peerlessness were the two great guardians of this palace: Man Peerless and Law Peerless. In life, they had reached the Supreme Realm, and their souls had not been buried after death; following Di Ming, they had cultivated to the realm of Saint Kings.
"If you are nothing, on what grounds do you claim to be investigating the drug case? Aren't you just talking nonsense with your eyes wide open?" Captain Zhang’s tongue was truly sharp.
Jun Ninglan smiled with complete indifference and spread his hands. "In any case, I can never compare to my eldest brother, so why be in such a hurry?" His expression was languid and irreverent. Having achieved his goal, Jun Mo Li did not trouble him further; he was, after all, mud that could not be plastered onto a wall, not worth wasting any more effort on.
It was always like this. Wherever he was, she never had to exert the slightest effort. He would consider everything for her and clear away every obstacle she might encounter. He was Qian Qiyao, Qian Qiyue’s brother. She was Qian Qiyue, Qian Qiyao’s sister.
Li Zixiao pondered how to persuade Wu Jiaqian to stop her investigation while completing his test questions, all without letting her suspect anything amiss. He thought about it all afternoon until the final bell rang, yet he could not come up with a perfect solution.
"Naturally, I am unaware of this matter. Such an important affair should be kept highly confidential, even within the Zhongtian Gate, right?" Qi Ming asked.
Ye Han wrapped his arms around Zi Yun’er’s neck and took a deep breath of her unique scent, feeling incomparably comforted.
This made Ye Han bloom with joy. With so many martial masters, the lowest cultivation being an eighth-level martial master, and hundreds of them in total, this was enough to establish a powerful faction.
"Alright, we cannot stay too long. It won't be good if other media outlets snap photos, you understand?" Sister Wang cautioned with concern.
According to Li Cheng’s experimental results, one Wanfu Pill could be diluted into three portions of three-ounce medicinal liquid, each of which could cure one terminally ill patient. Thus, these 1,200 Wanfu Pills could save 3,600 terminally ill patients.
Sword Lord Lingkun’s expression turned grave to the extreme. As a peak Golden Core stage cultivator, although he could not use teleportation spells, he was still very sensitive to changes in spatial energy.
To sever the connection between Satricum and Pollevnum and better assault the cities, the two military magistrates suggested rebuilding the camp between these two Volscian towns, a plan to which Camillus agreed.
Ling Du-yu drove them back toward Guanshan Town. While passing through Mu City, he saw Jiang Zheyuan sitting in a car ahead. The driver was Li Xiaoyan, and it appeared they were also heading toward Guanshan Town.
He did not expect the man in black to be prepared. A finger pointed at Chen Zheng’s glabella, and a deathly aura invaded his sea of consciousness, attempting to control Chen Zheng’s Yin spirit.
Ling Du-yu knew he had to drop blood onto the jade tablet to truly accept the title. After the blood was shed, the tablet transformed into a beam of white light and flew into Ling Du-yu’s body. He immediately understood several things, and he felt a sense of upright, official celestial authority emanating from within him.
All the citizens cried out in disbelief, some even suspecting they were hallucinating.
The noble King of Goryeo, His Majesty Kim Dae-il, did not attend the wedding, reportedly due to illness, though a congratulatory message—long-winded and filled with flowery prose—was delivered in his stead.
Entrusted repeatedly by Lin Meng, Tong Niuer went personally to the death row of the Heaven-rank prison, a place he had not visited in a long time, to visit his father, Lin Shuiqing.
Su Nan hugged her tightly, offering silent comfort. Huang Ying also sat over and comforted her in a soft voice.
Seeing this, Xinlian was about to follow, but she heard Wang Hou call out, "Sister Monkey..." She paused and looked back at him. He continued, "Sister Monkey, you’ve worked hard tonight. Get some rest early and don't worry about standing guard." Xinlian’s face flushed; she bowed and scurried out the door.
Looking at the boss before me, two choices flashed: one, help Li Tiange, or two, stand by and watch. Without a second thought, my conscience chose to help Li Tiange. I gripped my bone sword, rushed down the dirt slope, and stabbed the boss in the waist.
Those beast-folk of the Soul Condensation Realm, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, were accustomed to holding high positions and being revered by thousands. How could they endure such humiliation and torture? Some of the more hot-tempered ones were even angered to death on the spot.
Shi Quan ignored the Poison Emperor and rushed into the room. It was not that anything had gone wrong, but rather that the scandalous scene had repeated itself.
With Nangong Weiwei leading the way, they pushed forward continuously. Supported by elites from various nations, their progress was reasonable. At this rate, they could reach the heart of the island nation in two days.
Because he received a call about an emergency board meeting, Ouyang Kunpeng dropped Tian Tian off at the dormitory building and returned to the factory.
"Gia—gia—gia your big head!" Li Xiaoshang finally managed to say a complete sentence. The shocks Shi Quan had brought her along the way were one after another; this time, the shock left her unable to believe it was real.
