Volume 1, Chapter 34: Drunk in His Arms
This secret was known only to him and Mother Yang, who had raised him; he had never mentioned it to another soul, yet today, it had slipped out to Yuzhi before he even realized it.
Situ Jiannan had not returned yet, had he? She had been sleeping all day and had no idea if he was still in meetings.
Thinking of Qingcha, Wang Qingyu remembered that he had just received his salary. After setting aside household expenses for his mother, he still had some left over. Once he finished his official duties, he could go and get a pair of pure gold earrings for Qingcha. He was determined to make her completely devoted and submissive to him.
The thin man looked at the children who were sobbing until they were out of breath, feeling a headache coming on. Ultimately, he knew that in their current state, he would not be able to get any information out of them.
"Why is she so tired?" Mu Yuechen sat on the sofa, sipping coffee and staring at Mu Xia, demanding an explanation.
Su Jin had previously purchased quite a few supplies, but she had neglected to buy medicine. Firstly, her funds were limited, and she had focused on food and water at the start; secondly, buying medicine online was not particularly reliable. Now that there was still space in her storage dimension, Su Jin prepared to go on a shopping spree to replenish what she lacked.
Lan Mei'er felt no fear at all; she merely glanced sideways at Su Yirui, whose face had gone pale with fright, and reached out to comfort her.
"Hey, hey, hey—wake up! Is everyone alright? It’s time to eat mooncakes," Su Qianqian reminded them.
After all, when she examined her eyes, she had not found anything unusual; it was highly likely that the optic nerve was being compressed.
Why was he laughing? The topic he was discussing did not seem particularly humorous; in fact, it seemed quite serious.
Yang Jiantian did not know exactly what style that clothing was, but the shoulders appeared to have padding, the chest was flat, and the waist was cinched. Wearing it made one’s figure look more upright, giving off an impression of high spirits and vigor.
Yufeng drew a sword of ice and flame, preparing to counterattack the intruder, but several figures appeared beside him. Each held a broken blade and stabbed into Yufeng’s body from different directions. Two seconds later, two patches of gray ash remained on the ground.
The disciples of the Divine Sect had not yet arrived, and the passage to the snowy mountains opened. Just as expected, Xiaochen was the first to enter the snowfield.
Having made up his mind, he smiled inwardly. When he looked at Bo Huaigui again, he was still able to face him with the friendliest possible demeanor.
Enterprises like Alibaba and Sina were short on funds themselves. Even if they had money, they were wary of Li Dong at this time; how could they possibly risk everything to support Tencent?
It was clear that Su Cheng was not thinking at all. It was not that he was unable to think due to grief or other negative emotions; he displayed a sense of exhaustion, a reluctance to think further, and a disgust for the process of thought itself.
Xu Shengzhe had just finished speaking when he suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "I’m warning you, don’t get any ideas."
The moment the green test tube burst, the green liquid sprayed out. As these liquids hit the air, they began to burn fiercely. These were not the normal red or yellow flames, but eerie, ghostly green fires. Hundreds of these green flames showered down upon the people like raindrops.
"Zifeng, wait! The principal is no longer at the school; he has gone to Tianxing City," Zihuang said hurriedly.
Subconsciously, she wanted to rush up to help, but she hesitated for a moment. Thinking of Frank's instructions, she quickly turned and headed toward the palace.
Jiang Yun, who had been in despair, was now filled with fighting spirit, while the guards were filled with hopelessness.
Walking one's own path is certainly important, but one must avoid the paths that predecessors have clearly proven to be flawed or impassable. At such times, cultivation experience becomes crucial.
"Haha, this blade is forged from Five Elements Stone, so of course it cannot be compared to ordinary weapons. As for why it was made this way, you will understand in the future."
The transformation of Master Daoyue caused the commoners gathered there to immediately fall to their knees, as if they had witnessed a miracle.
He did not return to Ximen City; he felt guilty toward the Tang family. However, he felt there was nothing he could do.
Seeing how terrified Xiong Ba was, the corner of Ye Yan's mouth curled upward. If he chose to be obedient, he could wait for the effects of the neural agent to wear off before making his move.
This was their invincible King of Light, a god-like existence; even the legendary Lord of Phoenix City, "Beidou Chihua," was being toyed with at will.
After such a massive event, Hei Luoke had only been treating his own wounds; how could he have recovered so quickly?
"It's better to leave him to Dean Gray!" Gong Ze saw the child struggling incessantly in Kurata's hands and, fearing that Kurata might drop the child, shouted out in haste.
Then, the days of sudden change arrived—before arriving at his post in Hua County, he passed through Qing County, and Cheng Zhi insisted on taking a detour to visit his senior brother, who was serving as the magistrate there.
Warhorses that had experienced battle were indeed very different from ordinary pack horses. These beasts seemed to know their own importance, so even though their former masters were bleeding out before them, they did not panic or flee.
Although Baludi did not know what Yanran wanted to do, she knew that Yanran must have had a plan, so when she listened to what Yanran said to them, she felt it was better to remain silent.
Zhou Yan was not lamenting the high price of the Qiankun Wish Bag; he was merely sighing that he had been sitting on a treasure mountain without realizing it.
"Who do you think you are? You want to take a private plane? Not to mention there is no such route, even if there were, could you openly bring Xingtailang onto the plane? Stop having pipe dreams." Ling Yunpeng glanced at Fu Xinghan.
This Underworld Demon Sect contained many opportunities and treasures. Although Zhou Yan did not have the strength to compete for them, he was unwilling to let others benefit.
"Then if we find the Arkenstone, would it make him feel any better?" Bilbo suddenly spoke up.
Paro was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously, his brow furrowed into a deep frown. For some reason, he felt exceptionally uneasy tonight, and a deep sense of dread rose in his heart.
Liu Sanshui had originally planned to ride on Zhou Yan's coattails to see the top five floors of the Lingyun Tower, but now it seemed his plan was destined to fall through.
Ordering Sang Biao to have his men turn off the signal jammer, Brother Haonan quickly dialed the phone and began calling for backup.
When the human soldiers saw the patchwork fleet of the Fenghen tribe, they immediately understood that the opposing army was likely a motley crew. Their morale soared instantly; with this shift in momentum, the Fenghen tribe had no path left but defeat.
To put it bluntly, once they entered the base camp of the Monster Tribe, if Di Jun and Tai Yi discovered them, the Zhou Tian Star Formation would be waiting for them.
