Volume 1, Chapter 39: Drunken Antics

As she spoke, Baoqin, appearing still shaken, stood by Xia Chiwan’s side and gave her a hug.

"Sister Li, what have you been busy with yesterday? I’ve been looking forward to seeing you all day," Ouyang Feier said with a smile.

Xia Chiwan’s words struck Sun Jianxing like a heavy blow to the heart.

Especially upon learning that his future mistress would be a princess, Li Lixing nearly felt he had no way out.

They were so insane; they used their own flesh and blood to feed the Gu insects to create a Gu God. If they knew they were creating a demonic insect, would they still have done it?

Hua Li was merely drawing a simple leaf-shaped plate. She was very focused while drawing, and the strokes flowed with extreme ease.

Xia Boran kicked Concubine Qiu aside. If Xia Zixuan had been a decent person, as a father, Xia Boran would naturally have supported him.

If he truly harbored that intention, then Xia Chiwan would not have remained in such a clear-headed state to this day.

Most of the so-called intellectuals in the world are impoverished scholars. In this era, obtaining an official position relies on recommendations from powerful families. Generally, impoverished scholars have no way to become officials. Thus, if a renowned scholar in the world has not held office, it is because they come from a humble background.

Seeing Guo Jia so confident, and with no other sound strategy at the moment, Liu Feng had no choice but to agree. He immediately ordered Gongsun Bian to guard Guo Jia’s side and ensure his safety at all times.

"Surrender? Surrender your damn self!" A roar of fury suddenly erupted in the silent night. The roar was like that of a wild beast, filled with anger, hatred, and an unyielding conviction.

The Freedom Alliance base targeted today ranks in the top three nationwide; one can imagine the treasures hidden within. Whether it is the Philosopher's Stone or Black Stone, both are rare and precious items. If Fang Yichen were to succeed, how could he be willing to hand over half?

"I asked Mom, and she said this is the only bus route from your dormitory to the school, and you always wake up at this time in the morning! So, I took this bus," Yoona said.

"And what if the Zifeng Society and the Leng family come into conflict in the future?" Zifeng asked calmly.

"Even if the warlords descend into chaos, the People’s Party, as the primary culprit, cannot escape responsibility," Wang Shizhen resisted weakly.

"Could it be that Cecilia used a 'Life-Long Technique' combined with Diliya’s Hope and the Core of Elvira to turn herself into a weapon to eradicate the Luosen Basin?" Jiesiya realized instantly.

The other guys couldn't keep up the act either. The "hero" who was supposed to save the beauty was lying on the ground like a dead dog—how could the play continue?

After the first mutation during the opening of J University, Fang Yichen developed a strong tolerance to temperature, so he did not feel the slightest bit of cold.

"Yes, Senior." Tong Chong’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly responded respectfully. He glanced back, and a rather handsome man stepped out from the crowd.

Wang Haoming sighed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do. As the saying goes, "out of sight, out of mind." Unable to think of any other way, he prepared to leave.

Although Yanjing appeared calm for now and there were only a few who could be called experts, Zhao Huyue knew clearly that the Ye, Qiu, and Yan families were not to be trifled with. Provoking them would surely be a disaster.

"I plan to join forces with the Howard family to reduce the land rent for royal mines and farms. You don't have any objections, do you?" Her tone held a trace of indignation. Li Chen understood perfectly well what lay beneath this.

"Is she Hong Chou?" Tian Yi, dressed in a black tight-fitting suit, pointed at Wang Xue lying in the bathtub and asked softly.

Zeman poked the campfire with a fire hook, the lamb leg on the rack sizzling with grease. After receiving the list Li Chen sent him two days ago, he found his thoughts diverging; he wanted shares in the Rich Country Bank.

In the Sistine Chapel, Gabriel was acting up as usual, turning his own statue around to face its back toward Michael on the other side.

"We’ll know once we go and see," Hongli said, and after speaking, he walked toward the street. Suyi had no choice but to follow.

No one spoke again. Most of those who came here did so for wealth and glory. Even if eliminated, they would still receive twenty million. With twenty million already secured, they could enjoy life until old age regardless of how they spent it. What more could one ask for in life?

As for Guangzhou, Shen Shisan didn't need to fight there; by comparison, Guangzhou was more complex than any other place.

Seeing Wang Tian at the entrance, the five men immediately ignored the Wang family’s private soldiers on the floor and focused their gaze on him. A man tilted his head, looked coldly at Wang Tian, and suddenly blurted out: "Are you Wang Tian?! Here to raid the Chen family this time?" His tone was filled with undisguised contempt.

Shuo'er had agreed to meet at the cinema today; the Wednesday family movie tradition was a household rule that had remained unchanged for three years.

"No, he just told me to keep a calm heart and not take this selection too seriously," Qin Shuai explained.
