Volume 1, Chapter 25: Corn Seeds

Whenever my cousin had her period, she would always ask me to make her brown sugar water. Finding brown sugar in Jiang Qingqing’s kitchen, I brewed a cup for her and carried it out to the living room.

"You!!" The bloodshot veins in Black Dragon’s eyes became increasingly prominent, and sounds of internal explosions emanated from his body.

"The Qi family and the Xiao family don’t have much interaction, but since we live in the same city, we have a basic understanding of them. I’ve never heard of them having any plans to emigrate," Xiao Manxuan said softly after a moment of thought.

Upon hearing Zhou Tai’s words, everyone could not help but look curious. The army was retreating at this moment, a matter of great urgency. Everyone moved forward first, leaving only Zhou Tai to lead a detachment, coordinating with Huang Yueying and a portion of the Shu army, to remain behind and oversee the construction of the maze.

"Fragrance in the dark?" Uttering these three words in a choked voice, he spun around abruptly, and that healthy, rosy face truly appeared before his eyes.

After getting into the car, the atmosphere remained awkward. There was nothing I could do; when Zhao Lin and I were together, we had so much to say, as if a lifetime wouldn't be enough. Even in silence, there was never such an awkward feeling. Now that things had turned out this way, I could only smile bitterly.

"Who! Who is wrecking the place! Who dares to wreck my Dragon Head Gang’s turf!" A burly man with dark skin rushed over to Cong Yi’s stall in a fury, accompanied by a group of his brothers.

Great Tiger stayed quietly in the courtyard, and Ji Huayu issued an order forbidding anyone from approaching, lest they disturb him.

"If I die! I guarantee you won't get anything!" Han Lang said coldly, his grim eyes fixed tightly on the latter, making the man feel a sense of unease.

"Sounds good!" Only a fool would turn away business. With money coming in, the shopkeeper’s face naturally bloomed into a smile.

Yet it was precisely this simple remark from Xu Dekang that allowed Chen Jin to immediately analyze that he himself must have held high expectations for being acquired and cashing out.

Population is destiny. The human race has multiplied and thrived across the vast expanses of the ten-dimensional universe; years later, it is no longer the state of affairs from when Zhou Lie led tens of millions of people through the wars of the north and south.

Otherwise, if Qin Fen were to deal with A-Wei himself, he would either use his fists or his supernatural powers. But doing so in front of Uncle Nine would ultimately be inappropriate.

The return journey was relatively smooth. Tang Yang exited the highway and first sent a message to Ran Yue, as he needed to stop by his brother Tang Qiang’s place first; there were grapes brought from home there.

"Move!" Shi Fan could not, of course, watch Yin Sen die just like that, so he immediately issued orders to the other two Sages of Black Moon Island beside him.

The wildlings had no choice, but no one expected that the person who would eventually carry the flag to the gate of the Black Castle, prepared to stage the scene of entering the enemy camp alone, would be the King-Beyond-the-Wall himself, Mance Rayder.

Seeing his gesture, all the employees of Jinhua Company and Huace Company snapped out of their trance. The work that had stalled due to the chaos immediately resumed.

After sternly instructing the leader of the aristocratic faction, Sir Buckwell, and receiving a firm confirmation, Aeger took dozens of guards and, guided by a messenger soldier, traversed the devastated battlefield to arrive outside the Northern army’s camp.

Although Microsoft is now a gargantuan multinational tech giant, if it had seized those two opportunities, today’s Microsoft would be even more terrifying.

"Tong Ba, how about we stop here?" Just then, the voice of a youth rang out from within the mountains.

The next day, Shen Yanjie woke up very early—it was rare for her to wake up even earlier than Lin Zhihan. She propped her head up with her hand and lay on her side, watching her.

It had been a while since Ji Jiu had seen Su Bai-shui. The two hugged, exchanged a few playful jabs, and then Ji Jiu introduced He Xinzhi to Su Bai-shui.

Shen Yanjie went to the clothing shop first, holding various fabrics up against Fang Huai-xu to compare them. In the end, she chose a stone-blue material for him; it was not as dreary as black, yet still relatively low-key.

Mu Sheng had been laughing just a moment ago, but now his expression turned sour. He cursed "wicked disciple" and, with a cold face, ordered An Qingli to leave the Grandmaster Hall.

Even when using schemes and despicable tactics, the early emperors usually had their wits about them, but the princes were not necessarily the same.

Since entering the industry, Ji Jiu had participated in many programs on the Fruit Channel and was an old acquaintance of the hosts there, often gathering with them privately. Twice, when guest stars were unable to make it to the show due to last-minute issues, Ji Jiu had even stepped in to save the day.

"You want to frame me? Do you take the Hidden Clan for fools? Do you think they will believe your words?" The bald, obese old man said with a grim expression.

The brand-new War Immortal, the supreme War Emperor, stood tall in the mortal world. Those deep, dark eyes were as tranquil as an ancient well, yet his tall, slender frame radiated an astonishing pressure.

Everything on the ground was normal, and the jailers and guards all had their eyes wide open, with no one slacking off or dozing.

The annoyance of having inexplicably grown 9 centimeters taller was that none of my old clothes or trousers fit anymore.

Then there was the Red Mage. The mage was covered from head to toe in a red net and would use powerful magic for long-range attacks. After death, the body would vanish, leaving only the empty net and a staff on the ground.

Lu Xu subsequently raised his wine glass. Seeing this, Song Nianxi hurriedly followed suit and drank. Before she knew it, the two of them were continuously drinking.

Cheng Yi clearly saw a flash of tears in the girl’s eyes as she turned away, so he immediately moved to follow her.

The dishes Qiao Guoqiang ordered were two vegetable dishes, a rice-fountain large-plate goose, a yellow noodle roasted meat, and two kilograms of rack-roasted meat.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Super Seminary’s Xiongbing Company, after Angel Yan spoke to Leona about so-called justice, she laid out the angels’ views and intentions regarding Earth.

She got up, ate something, and then went back to painting by herself. Song Nianxi felt truly lonely in this place. She did not know how long she would have to stay, nor did she know when Lu Xu would be able to find her and rescue her.

Before her lay a sword—the Child Sword of Beiyao. To be called the Emperor of Beiyao, one must be able to wield this sword.

"This..." All the generals looked astonished; Ju Zi had not previously told them that the Fear Claw Soul Master Regiment had suffered a setback.

Because everyone could see that with Chu Feng’s fusion of two paths, he was absolutely qualified to refresh the top ten rankings.

It wasn’t until they entered the elevator that Yang Yu realized Wang Fei’s state seemed off; he had barely moved, relying entirely on her to pull him along.
