Volume 1, Chapter 27: The Same Idea

At this moment, Jing Shu still found it hard to accept. She had imagined so many possibilities regarding her biological parents, but none of them matched the reality before her. How could she be a child of the Zhao family? If she truly were, why would they have abandoned her back then?

In the hospital room, Ji Qingxin was informed that her pregnancy had been saved, a piece of news she found difficult to process.

Just as he was hurling threats, the screen of "Bao Jipin" went black, and the entire view turned gray. A system prompt popped up: "You have been killed by player 'Ask Heaven's Song'. Level -1. The quest [Trial of the Ancestral Treasure] has failed. You will respawn in the Novice Village in 60 seconds. Please be advised."

Sheng Lingyun was about to return to the country. Thinking it over, he decided to bring his two grandsons to see him before he left.

"Whatever you have in mind, just speak! As long as it is within my power, I will certainly grant it to you," Concubine Pang said proudly.

Having no other choice, the last assassin pulled with both hands, hooking up and down in a flash, managing to catch both of his companions.

The reason it was named the Black Forest was that the forest was encased in a layer of visible, faint cyan-black light.

As public opinion on the internet grew intense, the appearance of such an editorial was immediately seen as a response from the authorities.

The crowd was shocked. The person who had just held the upper hand and suppressed the exotic beast was now witnessing an instant reversal of the situation.

Grandmother had always been more attentive to her uncle's family while being cold and biting toward theirs. Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder if her father had been picked up off the street.

From then on, the discussions among the many Hongyu chess players shifted from the games being played within the barrier to the character of Lian Mingyang.

Guo Tu and the others, who were in charge of the negotiations, had long known the other side's objectives and even their bottom line. However, heavily influenced by their mercantile nature, they clearly wanted to squeeze out more benefits.

Kaliak had no time to be happy before a sharp pain hit his chest. Looking down, he saw a silver iron melon hammer lying on the ground.

Gongsun Yu revealed that Zhao Yanni had a lover and that the child in her womb might not belong to Cheng Mingdao.

Large raindrops pelted Lin Yi's face. It was already deep into the night when he pushed open the doors of the Jishi Clinic.

"They're harassing me..." Chen Bingwen stuck out her tongue apologetically. Zheng Tao had been calling her cell phone in the middle of the night lately.

I tried to discern whether Jiang Meng's expression was feigned or genuine. However, I failed. Since Jiang Meng kept her head down afterward, I couldn't exactly walk over and lift her chin—such a gesture would be too impolite, especially at the school gate; it was highly inappropriate.

On the eaves, crystalline water droplets fell slowly, splashing onto the bluestone steps with a soft, rhythmic sound. The spring sunshine was bright, and birds chirped in the trees.

Jingbao was already very sleepy by this time. When the nanny brought him over, he was drowsy. Ma Jun suggested letting the child sleep, but Wang Feifei quietly shook him awake.

Finally, unable to resist Gu Ruosu's persistence, Yu Huiying had to play another game with her. Although Gu Ruosu went first, she lost control of all five elements by the eighteenth move, and according to the rules, she lost the game once again.

Was he not the man she had seen at the market? Was he the legendary "Crown Prince" who descended like a god, Prince Rui Yu Tianzheng?

Tianjing nodded, and the two of them murmured a few more prayers, reminding Concubine Yi to remember to bless Xuan Ming, before rising and leaving this haunted sanctuary within the Dayuan Imperial Palace.

It had been several days since the boat trip on the lake, and the condition of the girls at the Zuixiang Pavilion had largely stabilized. According to the prescription provided by Nangong Yi'er, the venereal disease would be cured in less than half a month! A heavy burden finally lifted from Wu Yue's heart.

With nothing to do, she curled up in her room by the window, staring blankly outside. Zhan Lu had just come to ask her to help hang lanterns, but she had refused.

When Zhang Jian parked the car in front of Huang Zijie, seeing his dark expression, a bath towel wrapped around him, wearing slippers, and a bruised corner of his mouth, the sight was enough to spark endless imagination.

"Isn't it because I was trying to save you?" he blurted out in irritation. Seeing her being bullied, he had acted on instinct. Who knew she didn't need his help at all? Now that he was being accused of meddling, how could he not be frustrated?

Back to the point, when Xu Da first started working at Xu's, he didn't know that Fu Nuo liked Xu Shenlin. He was not a man who excelled at expressing his emotions, nor was he the type to rush up to Fu Nuo and declare his love.

The white light before me faded, and I appeared in the Valley of the Sword Saint. Seeing me arrive, the orc warriors immediately stepped aside respectfully to clear a path.

Hearing this voice, everyone in the Zheng family froze. Then, Zheng Krystal hurriedly went to open the door, while Mr. and Mrs. Zheng subconsciously straightened their clothes...

However, the designer of the manor was clearly very meticulous. The architecture of the entire estate blended into the surrounding natural environment. It looked as if it were carved from ice and snow, with ancient castle-style towers and walls arranged in orderly fashion, stunningly beautiful. Reflected against the translucent light shield, it looked like a world from a fairy tale.

The Queen was provoked by Sola's words, casting her gaze, filled with unreserved fury, upon herself.

"An Awakened?" By the time Ryan realized it was too late, he had already lost the ability to move. He tried to channel the awakening energy within his body to break free from the restraints.

Or there was another possibility: Li Guofu had once killed personnel from the Ninth Bureau who were out on a mission and seized their standard-issue firearms.

At the critical moment, Ling Mengyun finally took action. Unhurriedly, she extended a hand. A wisp of faint energy erupted from the tip of her index finger, dancing in the air like translucent flames, wrapping around her five fingers one by one.

The nature of the wolf king within the circle was fully exposed: cruel to those inside and patient with those outside, submissive to outsiders while ruthlessly exploiting its own kind.

Sometimes, people forget which is their true self and which is their disguised nature.

Moreover, the energy fluctuations from the charging of these main cannons were suppressed and could not be detected, making it impossible to determine if they had truly activated such terrifying weapons.

The latest trend was that after a certain meeting, many original natives of the Great Ming began to study the Elders' principles and methods of conduct. They initiated targeted activities, and many of these behaviors made the Elders very uneasy.
