He ordered a basin of water to be brought over, rolled up his sleeves, and washed his hands with scented soap. Then he held them beneath his nose and sniffed. His expression instantly became exceedingly unpleasant.

With a single swipe of Big Wolf’s claw, even a massive boulder could be smashed to pieces, yet it could not break Ye Kai’s flame barrier.

His following continued to grow. Even some of the Ten Beauties had become Yang Fan’s fans, and several had actually invited him to join them.

If His Majesty Li Er were to be defeated in battle and die, the most likely beneficiaries would be, first, himself and Li Zhi, and second, this very Prince Qi, Li You.

Li Si and Bai Shasha exchanged startled glances at once. Had Han Mingzhe really won custody of the child?

Red Bean had not been Ye Kai’s match back then. Now, it was even more impossible for her to stand against him.

Now that Guo Ye had linked Goguryeo’s very existence to whether their descendants would be able to enjoy wealth and prosperity in peace, their attitude underwent a complete reversal.

Leaving aside the intelligence that the Russian army had accelerated its advance, he had already received word that the Mongolian Cavalry Division was at the very front. What he was considering now was how to eliminate it first.

Yang Fan roared furiously. Suppressed in the void, he struggled helplessly as his body began to split apart and blood poured forth. It seemed he was about to perish beneath the ancestral weapon.

Hua Xu saw that the dishes had been cleared away. When Qin Yue emerged from the dining room and spotted her, he crossed the distance in a few strides, took her hand, and looked her up and down.

She did not ask that her son achieve anything extraordinary. All she wanted was for the family to remain together in peace. That alone was enough for her.

As the most powerful man in the Lu family, he could not afford to be softhearted or indecisive. He was famous for being untouchable; anyone who provoked him would wish they were dead.

From Tong Zhaohua’s words, it sounded as though Shen Beichen clearly knew how valuable that jade thumb ring was and had refused to give it away because he could not bear to part with it, only to turn around and present someone with porcelain instead. The difference was rather striking.

Tong Zhaohua instinctively resisted and pushed against him, but compared with Lu Lin’s strength, hers was utterly insignificant.

With evidence and witnesses, Yun Qianchen could no longer deny anything. Her own younger sister had admitted it with her own mouth—how could it be false? There was now proof that Yun Qianchen was Lu Zeyao’s mistress.

It was Xiang Haoran, the newly appointed president of Xiang Department Store. He had seen reports about him in international financial magazines. He was a business prodigy with a forceful style. In less than a year after taking over Xiang Department Store, he had already elevated it to an entirely new level.

Nan Moyue’s body swayed slightly. In the next instant, his previously rigid frame sagged, and his breathing grew heavy.

Shen Shi heard his whisper clearly. He had originally intended to help this future brother-in-law a little.

Calling it a cave was not entirely accurate. It was more appropriate to say that this was an extremely strange place. The ceiling was extraordinarily high and completely sealed, with only an oval-shaped opening on the left. Yet even through it, no blue sky could be seen, leaving the place shrouded in dim light.

To preserve it, one had to remake the body. Put in grander terms, this was one’s aptitude. Without a physique capable of retaining spiritual energy, everything else was merely the moon reflected in a well or flowers seen through mist.

Whenever the three fathers returned from the sea, they would sit together drinking and embellish all sorts of strange tales from their daily lives into exaggerated boasts. Often, with their tongues thick from drink, they would pin down the three fat boys and lecture them. The story about drugs was the one Ye Tian heard most often.

In half a month, nearly half the fields had already been reclaimed and planted with grain. Then, with Landon’s “Growth of All Things,” the City of Enchantment had solved its food shortage for at least the next six months.

The peach and plum blossoms in the garden were in full bloom. Wandering among them truly refreshed the spirit and cleared the mind.

Valhalla’s expression remained as calm as ever. He completely ignored the title Masks had given him. At the very moment Masks asked that question, Valhalla had already answered through his actions.

Yet Madam Feng’s reaction took everyone by surprise. As though fleeing a flood or savage beast, she shook off her husband’s hand and rolled defensively to one side, her expression utterly unfamiliar. She looked almost as if she had seen a ghost.

The colossal creature’s head stood suspended in midair, looking down upon the entire world. Platinum flames burned and flickered slowly around its vertical pupils. Centered on its body, space within a radius of several thousand meters collapsed inward and solidified into a visible “domain” with distinct boundaries. Even the movement of the clouds drew infinitely close to stillness.

Ye Zhong had brought no weapons. Since he intended to train himself, fighting bare-handed was naturally the best choice. In an emergency, he could always seize a weapon from an enemy.

“Stop this nonsense. Do you think your grandfather wasn’t grieving at all when several of your cousins sacrificed themselves?” Grandpa Xu shook his head repeatedly as he spoke, his expression filled with unbearable pain.

The instant the clouds and mist slammed into the barrier of light, the two collided like two savage, rampaging primordial beasts, in a manner both ferocious and brutally simple. It was like a cataclysmic collision between Heaven and Earth—a desperate struggle between the mightiest attack descending from the sky and the most steadfast defense rising from the ground.

His cool lips pressed firmly against mine, domineering and leaving me no room to resist. With difficulty, I raised my hand, intending to push him away, but before I could touch his chest, he seized my hand and held it tightly behind my back, leaving me unable to move. Even his gaze toward me could not conceal its tangled emotions.

The Guan family was no longer what it had once been. Sending out three innate experts at once was far beyond what the Li family could withstand. Their removal from Hong Kong Island had not been without reason.

This caravan’s destination was not the Ancient Realm guarded by Bai Qi’s parents. However, along the way, it would pass through a prosperous urban district nearby. Ye Feng would follow them as far as that place, then complete the rest of the journey alone.

At first, when she dressed so revealingly, I deliberately looked away. Later, I stopped caring. I also discovered that whenever my father came home, Sun Meijuan would change into extremely conservative striped pajamas, completely unlike her usual style.

Xu Er, however, was obviously the sort of monstrous expert one encountered in games. He did not like killing people instantly; he preferred to torture them slowly to death.

But when Second Kong saw that Qiuping showed no reaction, he glanced at her before turning and leaving. It seemed to treat Qiuping rather well. It must have intended to give its “dinner” to her.
