Volume 1, Chapter 63: Does This Count As Holding Hands?

Leng Yan was glowing with a silver radiance, his body already suspended in mid-air. At this moment, Yue City was shrouded in an invisible protective barrier. While this barrier was sufficient to fend off low-level cultivators, to Leng Yan, it was no sturdier than a soap bubble.

"Meier, I said that no matter what happens, I will stand by your side!" Solely because of the expression on her face, which was an exact replica of Chen'er's, he was willing to cast everything aside, for her alone.

Before she knew it, due to a moment of carelessness, Xuan Junyao made a mistake that almost burned down the kitchen. Fortunately, Mother Zhang was experienced and prevented the situation from escalating. Later, using modern cooking techniques, Xuan Junyao prepared sweet and sour pork ribs and Mapo tofu, which completely won over Mother Zhang and everyone else's forgiveness.

In the eyes of humans, the dragon is a symbol of arrogance and supreme dominance. In many places, the dragon is used as a representation—for instance, emperors wear dragon robes and are addressed as the Son of Heaven.

However, Su Zihua had just finished giving birth, yet someone was already bringing this up. Wouldn't that be a bit too devoid of human warmth?

"Ye Baocheng, as long as you hand over the child! I guarantee they won't kill you!" Meier moved as swiftly as the wind, the short sword hidden in her sleeve already resting against Xia Jinxuan's neck.

Leng Yan wrapped the golden liquid with his soul power according to his own design. The silver soul power flowed and formed the shape of a mask. The moment the liquid, refined from black mysterious spiral gold, made contact with the soul power, Leng Yan could sense its absolute obedience.

If Prince Ji was dissatisfied with Yue'er, or had taken a fancy to one of the maidens on the list, could Empress Jiang really act arbitrarily and insist on forcing him to marry Yue'er?

Looking up, she noticed beads of fine sweat dotting Cui Ling's forehead. Then, glancing at her enormous belly, she stood up with a compromising expression and took her leave.

Yet if one spoke of hatred, well, he had given her life, and her veins carried the very same blood as his. How long could she truly hate him?

Although Zhengyang Group was the largest enterprise outside of state-owned corporations, back in the 1980s, university graduates were guaranteed job placements by the state.

When we arrived at the restaurant, he suddenly looked embarrassed and told me he had no money. With that, he pulled out both of his trouser pockets to show they were empty. I honestly felt like giving him a solid kick right in his rear.

Huo Chenyun came over after paying the bill. Huo Sichen, Lu Huai, and Ji Yuansiu were all there, but Zai Zai and Jiang Siheng were nowhere to be seen.

Having returned with the intelligence, Rony looked utterly satisfied. She slipped into the car and excitedly announced to Zheng Jing.

Outside the door, the two soldiers placed their right fists against their chests with their left hands over them, bowing solemnly as they spoke.

Since the Qingyun Sect had shown him such exceptional favor, Su Mingzhe naturally wanted to lend the sect a helping hand whenever he could.

Compared to its scale of over a hundred people more than three years ago, the agency's current state meant it was only a matter of time before it went bankrupt.

She knew that as a representative of positive energy in the entertainment industry, Director Zhang Hongli would never lie for the sake of Song Linyu in an occasion like this, as that would undoubtedly be self-destruction of his public persona.

Zai Zai spun around in a large circle. Not only did she fail to find her Plutonian Daddy, but she also encountered quite a few utterly disheveled and unkempt ghosts.

Following the defeat and retreat of Zhang Xiu, Jin Xuan, the Administrator of Wuling Commandery, grew terrified that Wuling would sooner or later fall. Upon receiving word that Lü Bu was coming to provide reinforcements, he raised troops to attack Lingling, hoping to avert Wuling's doomed fate.

At this point, Guhui would like to clarify one thing. Guhui is not a promotional affiliate for any professional team, nor is Guhui a fan of any star player. The reason Guhui exposed this information is not to tell everyone how amazing Xueyi is or anything of the sort. Furthermore, before this post was published, Xueyi himself was allowed to review it.

"Haha, good, very good! To think the young master has finally seen the light. If the master knew of the young master's thoughts, he would surely be deeply comforted." Wu Ling was a straightforward man, and upon hearing this, he was extremely excited.

Yet, looking at Xibi, who was smiling so carefree, Wang Li only felt as though Xibi's words possessed a magical quality, causing the fear in his heart to gradually dissipate point by point.

After bidding farewell to Jingqi, Feng Mo, and Feng Duan, Shiyi walked back looking rather nervous. Seeing that Jiang Yue was casually sitting by the stone table setting up a game of Go as if nothing had happened, she instinctively furrowed her brows once again.

The clan leader let out a harsh huff toward the crowd. At this moment, every trace of his former amiability had vanished entirely from his face.

"Turn around," that chilling voice came again, issuing a forceful command to her.

After the meeting, Zhao Yin cast a glance at Amaya, signaling her to stay behind as he had something to say to her. But to his disappointment and astonishment, Amaya failed to do as he wished and instead followed Denise outside.

Because Ji Ling was eagerly anticipating the arrival of reinforcements, he had not made active preparations for a breakout, which allowed Fan Lijun to deploy an airtight encirclement.

How could Yu Tianheng fail to understand the meaning behind Qing Ming's words? Given their exceptionally close relationship, Daning must have already shared some of the details between them with her.

It was fortunate that Duanmu Xuan was not in the capital at the moment, having been dispatched by Situ Yan to Heyang County. Otherwise, if that jealous vinegar jar of a man found out, he probably would have crashed the place uninvited.

When sleeping at night, Situ Yan, who had not dreamt in a long time, dreamt of her grandmother from her past life smiling at her. It had always been like this before—whenever she killed someone, she would see her smiling grandmother in her dreams, as if only in this way could the bloodstains be washed from her hands and the scars in her heart be healed.

Mu Qingxue and the others were not far away, conversing with Yan Lie, while the Silver Moon Demonic Wolf and the wolf spirits had all retreated several miles away.

"Then Sister Daning and I will be responsible for protecting big brother!" Shanthi declared, sandwiching Yu Tianheng between them and leaving him with no chance to refuse.

Blade light flashed, thunderclouds roared, and True Immortal Niohuo spat out another mouthful of blood. His figure plummeted like a falling meteorite, crashing fiercely into Meteor Dragon Mountain and gouging out a massive crater in the cliffside, leaving him feeling as though his internal organs were violently churning.
