Chapter 25

The man was only about forty years old, with a tall and sturdy build and an aura of extraordinary power. He was Man Yan, the City Lord of Savage Tiger City.

Filled with self-reproach and regret, she understood that she was currently nothing more than a burden. To avoid causing trouble for her children, she had to follow their arrangements; only by recovering well from her injuries could she shoulder the responsibilities that were hers to bear.

An Yuning wiped away cold sweat. Wear those clothes of theirs that couldn't even block the wind? Absolutely not! It wasn't as if she were lacking for clothes.

"Are you still wondering what the Annihilation ability is?" the goblin asked. Meng Qi nodded.

Spirit-grade Low: Jade-Condensing Finger. It gathers source energy into a single finger. Once the jade radiance takes form, whatever the fingertip points to cannot be resisted.

After pacing around the room for a long time, she finally decided that putting the eggs in a basket and locking them inside the cabinet atop the heated brick bed was the safest option.

The High God is busy recruiting, while you are busy wanting to see the world because it is so vast—it is just that simple.

"Hmph, if I could use the Wuwang Halberd, with its sharpness, dealing with a guy like this would be a matter of a few strikes," Qin Wuxi muttered with annoyance, not forgetting to cast him a sidelong glance.

Li Zhong also furrowed his brows, lost in thought. How could someone have the same goal as them?

"Very well, I shall take my leave now." As Miss Fang departed, she saw Lou Xin standing there in a daze, just as he had been when they first met. If there was anything that absolutely had to be said, Lou Xin planned to tell her on their wedding day.

"An Xin, what is wrong with you? Why haven't you come up to collect your exam paper yet?" Han Yan reminded her.

The three of them bought ice cream and a bag of bread at the supermarket, planning to feed the fish by the lake. Just as they stepped out, they ran into their class monitor, Wei Yupeng.

In the south, dumplings are not eaten for the New Year. Qi Xia, not knowing how to wrap them, simply helped the adults with odd jobs and kept Cao Yu entertained.

By the time they reached Xie Chong’s door, the cold wind blowing throughout the journey had long since sobered up Xie Chong, who hadn't even been truly drunk to begin with.

Bananas have dietary fiber and aid digestion, but if you eat too many, you will get diarrhea! Especially if the bananas are spoiled.

Intuition told Qi Xia that something must have happened at Chen Xifan's home, though she could not guess exactly what.

Gu Xu wanted to say, "When I was pulling you along just now, you didn't pull your hand away; why are you acting shy now?"

If she had never experienced anything before, she might not have reacted, but that night, the Second Young Master had held her waist in the exact same way—how could she not understand?

The rain fell for two months straight. It wasn't that it rained constantly, but it would rain for a day and stop for a few, making the most of every sunny interval.

"Ding!" The preparatory bell for class rang. The bell would sound three minutes before the start of every lesson.

"Ranran, Xiuchen talked to you for so long, and that’s all he said?" Luo Haofeng raised his handsome brows, his peach-blossom eyes shimmering with ambiguity, and the smile at the corners of his lips was even more meaningful.

Yun Shu’s gaze tightened, and she froze instinctively, but this time, she ultimately did not dodge away.

Upon reaching home, Zhong Shi told them that Momo and Xinxin had gone to Gu Kang’s house to see their little brother, while Ziyi had been picked up by Wen Jin.

Shen Naotian did not care whether he gained a small advantage or took a loss, because that loser Fuguigui would not be smug for long. Whatever he earned from him now, he would have to spit back out double in the future.

James’s expression turned ugly. At first, he thought Sun Zhuo lacked post-up skills, so he had provoked him on purpose. He never expected Sun Zhuo to score three times in a row against him, including an exaggerated "2+1." Facing Sun Zhuo, James began to feel a hint of fear.

The money to repay Great Xia was basically accounted for; as soon as the funds from the various nations arrived, they would consolidate them and send them to Great Xia within seven days. Until the exchange was successfully completed, they could not afford to be careless.

On February 13th, the Magic were playing away against the Portland Trail Blazers. This time was also approaching the All-Star Game.

With Qiu Ruoxuan in his hands, her prospects were grim. Presumably, Shu Ye had already led people to storm in by now, so she would take the opportunity to attack from the back door while Shi Hanye focused his firepower on the front entrance.

Immediately after, shouts of rage, desperate pleas, and screams erupted. Yang Jin, like a crazed beast, grabbed Yu He by the hair and rained down a flurry of savage blows.

Zhao Hao sat upright on a white stallion, surrounded by guards. There were over twenty personal retainers alone, all hand-picked experts from the Zhao, Xie, and Wang estates. Including the household servants, there were a full hundred of them, all mounted on fine horses, wielding long sabers and carrying bows and arrows, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Is that for real? Doesn't that mean the collection in this shop could rival the holdings of the Palace Museum?" Lin Wanyu looked astonished.

Just then, he saw a crowd gathered in front of the Yang Family Martial Arts Hall, with several cameras and microphones held by what looked like reporters.

Boom! A shell slammed heavily toward Yang Chen. As the heavy projectile struck, Yang Chen dodged a few feet away. The shell exploded, and the powerful shockwave sent Yang Chen flying.

Upon reaching the 22nd floor and the elevator doors opening, he felt a gaze watching him furtively from behind the door of the fire escape.

Jiang Han scrutinized White Impermanence, while inwardly trying to recall if any of the temples had the character "White" written on them.

"Don't joke around. You aren't the type to sacrifice yourself selflessly, are you? If you say you’ve been cultivating Gu Cheng without any ulterior motive, I don’t believe it for a second," Lan Yu Asagi said.

However, everyone knew that the one who created this history was not the Chinese team, but their mysterious captain, Bai Yifan, who had retired from the national team and vanished without a trace after the match ended.

People are just like that; they might not have had a thought originally, but once they have a goal and pressure, their minds will gradually drift toward that target.

According to the fragmented memories in his mind, the Soul-Suppressing Bell was a weapon forged on a whim by the Immortal King of the Six Paths of Reincarnation after seeing the Wuchong Immortal King forge the Wuchong Bell.

Yu Fei was stunned, and after trying repeatedly to enter Su Yan’s livestream, he began to panic.

"According to what Brother Ziqian said, if it hadn't been for these... living corpses that night, you intended to stay in the county town, right?" Liu Yan asked.
