Volume 1, Chapter 39: Mother Wang Exposed

This time, Ma Jiaohong seemed to have misunderstood. After sending an ellipsis, she replied in a normal tone: "Jun... could you please not speak to me like that? Don't make things so difficult for me; it makes me feel very sorry for you."

Zhang Zian secretly praised her. As expected of an old hand, her words were flawless. Even the emperors of ancient times had to be coaxed rather than confronted head-on, and the veteran clearly understood this art well.

Just as the three spirits reached a consensus to set a trap for Wang Peng, Wang Peng happened to be questioning the Net Spirit.

For a family of craftsmen, a secret manual on artifact refining is beyond precious. Feng Qian felt immense gratitude that the Zhao family was willing to pass down their ancestral treasure to him, and naturally, he would never do anything against Zhao Zhuopang's wishes by leaking it.

Elder Jin was also a man of action. Since he promised to help Wang Peng, he didn't delay, picking up the phone and calling his son, Jin Nanshan, directly.

Tang Fengling had suspected as much back then, but since she had only recovered after visiting the Jianglin Zen Temple, she felt quite grateful to the Bodhisattva for the great help this time.

He played along with Zheng Anzhi, making the other party believe that he intended to rely on the criminal police squad for rescue.

While they were processing the paperwork, Aotu Man could no longer wait. He clapped his hands three times, snapped his fingers, and looked at the British Shorthair full of expectation. However, the cat showed no reaction, merely flicking its tail in confusion.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that in the vast imperial palace, perhaps the only person she could truly rely on was the Emperor.

"Does it take someone like you to tell the Alchemy Alliance how to conduct its business?" an alchemist immediately retorted. This was the only alchemist from the Alliance present, and he was at the third rank.

Zhen Qian secretly reproached himself. Alcohol really, truly, truly should not be consumed in excess. He remembered very little of what happened last night. Who keeps the lights on while sleeping? Besides, there were no lights to turn on, and he could never have imagined that the beauty beneath him would be someone else.

Yi Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed he would have to play the villain this time.

"Other surrounding cities have been captured one after another, yet here, there is still no movement. You waste, what use are you to me!" As she said this, Marianne’s palm tightened, and sharp nails emerged. She gripped Lu Bolong’s neck, ready to finish him off.

Lena Desallion, standing to the side, spoke up again, tilting her head slightly as she scrutinized the arrogant man.

Just as the arrival of natural disasters is usually sensed by animals first, this terrifying spiritual sense was the same. Ordinary people could not feel it at all, but the animals did.

"Happy Farm," which had been popular for several months since its launch, remained a hit. Especially after the introduction of the "Sunshine Charity" program, traffic surged immediately, and the number of people playing the game surpassed the number of YY users.

Cheng Chen lay in the mud sculpture made of mermaid clay for a full month before his bones gradually recovered.

Yi Feng let out a long sigh and opened his eyes. His gaze was incredibly deep, like a dark ocean, seemingly containing endless vicissitudes of life.

This was not a form of respect for a superior, but rather a strange kind of deference shown by being completely conquered by a younger generation member with monstrous talent.

To be honest, they had considered many possibilities, but they truly hadn't expected something like this to happen. With Jade Territory attacking Aido, there was no need to guess—it was clearly to seize the magic crystals within the Aido magic crystal mines.

The golden spear erupted with even more direct battle aura, wave after wave surging into the sky, instantly attacking the Giant Spirit God.

Li Chengqian walked into the mourning hall with a solemn expression, took three high-quality incense sticks from Lu Chengqing, bowed three times, and then inserted them into the incense burner.

"Yes, Brother Zhou, I guarantee I will do as you say." Yuan Zhen was now a loyal follower of Zhou Jin.

"Social practice. The academy arranged for sophomores to do social practice." Lu Mingfei forced a smile onto his face. His eyes were much gentler when looking at his uncle, though he did not look at his aunt or Lu Mingze.

Half a century ago, in 1962, Tokyo had even seen its first snow at such a time.

She was somewhat excited. Her family had many expenses, and two hundred yuan was a massive help to them.

She thought of her father, her younger brother Qingque, and Zhinu, who had snatched the advantage only to make a total mess of things in the end.

This was undoubtedly a difficult challenge, for he did not know which adventurer would turn into a demon, nor did he know if the transformation could be interrupted.

After the man shook my hand, he actually pulled a tissue from the table to wipe his own hand. This gesture made me feel very uncomfortable. We are both of the same generation; aren't you being a bit too self-righteous? To me, you are a Taoist, but to others, you are nothing.

"There is no intention to swallow a boat and return to the North Sea, and why bother borrowing water to leap over the Kun Mountains? Travelers are all people who scale fish; walking with bamboo sticks and straw sandals on their backs."

I sighed. With such an excellent bodyguard by their side, I could only hold off for now and wait for an opportunity. In any case, the Yin-Yang Pagoda had to be traversed; we were currently on the fifth floor, and Wang Shuang would surely go at least to the sixth. For now, I just have to endure and wait for the situation to develop.

"Rest assured and let the soldiers sleep. The Fusang army has been scattered by the two of us. Even if we handed them a victory on a silver platter, they wouldn't have the heart to take it right now," Li Bin said with a relaxed laugh.

"Ruxi, I really don't know what to say!" Lin Feng looked at Liu Ruxi, deeply moved, his heart feeling warm.

Stumbling along for nine months, she was busy preparing for the due date, yet there were still people trying to make things difficult for her.

Shangguan Chong's ability to draw talismans was truly extraordinary; even Chen Ziyin had praised him in the past. When we were both studying under Chen Ziyin, I had witnessed his terrifying skill firsthand.

"I have already requested reinforcements from the Scorpion Tail headquarters. They should send troops," An Xinsen said.

Meng Nantian nodded and whispered something to Heixuan. Heixuan immediately turned around and flew rapidly toward the city walls of Xurong City.

The clapping was so loud that even Qin Feng inside was startled, his body trembling slightly.

A powerful combat unit does not necessarily need sophisticated weapons and equipment, nor new military uniforms and flags, and it may even lack strict military law and discipline; however, what such a unit must possess is the high morale of its soldiers and diligent training.

"My Qiuqiu is about the same age as you. If only she could give me a grandson soon," Qiuqiu's father sighed. Although he had already come to terms with life and death, he still hoped to hold a grandchild before he passed away.
