Chapter 65: An Awkward First Meeting with the Parents, and Father's Love Conveyed Through Stinky Mandarin Fish
Jiang Luwei playfully interrupted him, skipping forward with a cheerful laugh.
Dowager Consort Fang collapsed into a chair, the look of shock on her face lingering for a long time. She looked at Wang Qingyao, then at Yinzhu, having no idea how this situation was going to end.
To Liang Shuang, Liang Rao's words sounded like a death sentence, even giving her the feeling that Liang Rao was more terrifying than a wild boar.
Yet, at this moment, far from showing off her charm, Yumang lacked even the slightest bit of poise just standing there. With her head bowed and back hunched, she looked even worse than a maidservant.
Supporting her face with her hands, she looked at her reflection in the mirror, noting that she looked distinctly more alluring than before. Moreover, with the advent of many new makeup styles recently, she had already transformed significantly.
Muttering complaints inwardly, Lu Ren carefully regulated the heat. Taking a bite, he frowned slightly; the meat was far too tough, and chewing it felt like trying to chew high-resilience rubber.
"I—did—not!" she said word by word, the syllables seemingly squeezed out from between her clenched teeth.
The Emperor was furious, and several of the diagnosing imperial physicians were implicated. It was only due to the Second Prince pleading on their behalf that the Emperor, with reddened eyes, absolved them of their responsibility.
At this point, Chu Xia finally came to his senses and realized that the store, which had been full of customers moments ago, now had only him left.
"This guy, James, just wants to use rebounding to crush me!" Sun Zhuo was extremely angry, yet powerless to do anything about it.
"Your situation has already been reported to the Military Region Commander. The Commander is flying here personally to pick you up, and he should have taken off by now," Wang Feng said solemnly, walking in from the doorway with his cell phone in hand.
Yet, who would have thought that at this very instant, Sun Zhuo had already leaped into the air. Instead of attempting to block James, just as James was about to pull his left arm away from his eyes, Sun Zhuo gently nudged James's left arm, pushing it right back into place.
Han Xiao shifted in mid-air, clutching Zixia horizontally under his arm. A large white axe had somehow appeared in his hand, and a flash of white light slashed across the firmament, striking the minotaur monster ahead and below them.
Unable to distinguish between Buddhism and Taoism, and having only heard that a Longevity Talisman could ensure safety, she actually went so far as to beg Master Xuanjue for one.
Old Gu lay flat on the stretcher, his right hand trembling as he pulled out a Beretta pistol. Taking aim at the mercenary from earlier with a blank expression, he suddenly pulled the trigger.
Han Xiao had heard from Zhizhi that a Soul-Devouring Gu Mother, having absorbed millions of evil souls and spirits, was exceedingly difficult to kill unless roasted in the Primordial Universe Fire for forty-nine days. Although he had subdued it, he could not destroy it at that moment.
However, the instant Chen Xinghai stepped back, before his feet had even regained their footing, he was in no position to withstand the force of Lin Shihai's onslaught.
Likewise, given Artest's personality, he would likely not let the matter rest. When the two crossed paths again next season, another brawl was bound to ensue.
"Good! Excellent! As long as this matter is handled smoothly, this chancellor will secure an official post for you. Haha~~" Thinking of how smoothly things would go, how pleased the Emperor would be, and how he would exact his revenge, Shi Miyuan burst into uncontainable laughter.
Emperor Li Yuan sat upright upon the imperial throne, wearing the Tongtian crown and the imperial robes. He listened intently to the debate, occasionally frowning in deep thought, sometimes pausing to question, sometimes lowering his head in silence, and at other times gazing out beyond the hall.
The Magic Light and Shadow team provided animation technology support for this shoot. Some of the indoor action sequences, especially the segment where they went up the mountain to fight a tiger, involved Jackie Chan fighting a person draped in a green cloth against a solid-color backdrop; the footage was then transmitted to Magic Light and Shadow Production to reconstruct the environment.
"What an elite force!" Upon arriving at the scene and sweeping his gaze across the Rain-Drenched Battle Group, Lin Chuan could not help but exclaim in admiration.
Just as Guduo was about to press his advantage and finish off Musen and the others, Li Huairuo, Fatty Li, and Liu Tiande shook off their respective opponents and rushed into the fray. All three were surging with spiritual light, emitting a silvery brilliance and intensely fierce vital energy.
Seeing that Wu Weiwei's respiratory symptoms had stabilized under the influence of medication and the oxygen bag, the couple finally set their minds at ease. Only three of them had come this time; the mother-in-law was still working at the Maple Bay Nursery and would join them once things were settled here.
The public notice detailed the wage composition within the security card, finally calming the anxious crowds. Consequently, the people who had moved into their new homes first began planning to purchase new furniture. Right at that moment, the company issued a reaffirmation of the forest management regulations: absolutely no one, under any pretext, was to cut down a single tree.
Seeing that Old Wang's thoughts were clear, his responses fluent, his analysis of current electronic technology developments spot-on, and his movements and demeanor indistinguishable from a real human, who would dare call him a robot? An expert even asked: "We currently have many technological bottlenecks we cannot resolve. Might we ask Old Wang to guide us for a period to help elevate our capabilities?"
A scorching ball of fire, resembling a sun, rose within the great formation. Then came another red sun, and before long, ten sun-like fireballs were darting back and forth inside the array, their blistering heat causing the surrounding seawater to recede.
Liu Qingqing hailed from a Taoist cultivation sect, so she had naturally heard the legends of the Ruyi Heavenly Talisman, but she never expected to lay eyes on the real thing today.
Because in this place—a place where this monster had lingered for a very long time—its aura permeated everywhere. It was precisely this aura that seeped into Chu Ming's body with every breath, hindering him from unleashing his full combat power.
After Lord Chang'an's thorough analysis, Zhao Kuo was finally convinced. His father, Lord Mafu, had repeatedly compared the military might of Qi and Qin, likewise concluding that the Qin army was Zhao's most terrifying adversary. By comparison, relative to the threat Qin posed to Zhao, those two cities were indeed utterly insignificant.
The Ascending Dragon Decree was not a one-time item, nor was the time interval between its uses very long—at least, for these Star Emperors, waiting for the next opportunity was of little consequence.
"Your Majesty, you must never think this way!" Zhang Shichang raised his head, looking at the Emperor with worry in his eyes.
The uppermost tier housing the stone coffin was quite spacious. After setting down the large wooden box, the group approached the stone coffin and prepared for the test to open it. With a "snap," I struck my lighter, and just before igniting the corpse-repelling incense, I subconsciously glanced back at Bodao Tian, only to catch a hint of complex anxiety faintly hidden between his brows.
