Volume 1, Chapter 58: Money in Hand, A Small Extravagance!

How precious the vital essence of one's origin is. Once consumed, it would take at least a hundred years to regenerate. Furthermore, this was merely to summon an insect stele, which contained no insects at all. If he were to summon flesh-and-blood lifeforms, he would likely have to bury himself along with it.

They spoke the language of the Elven Realm, which very few in Gensokyo could understand. Possessing power not inferior to that of any great yōkai, they kept all of this power entirely restrained within themselves.

"I knew that as long as you stepped in, Consort Shu, there would be nothing that couldn't be resolved!" Chen Ping said.

Chongzhen put down the letter and sat in his chair, feeling exceptionally anxious in his heart. Has the Great Ming reached the verge of perishing? Is it really as serious as he described? Why was what he said completely different from the views of the officials in the imperial court? What kind of person was Huang Peng, after all?

Immediately afterward, all the domestic agencies importing dairy products collapsed because all the top-tier dairy companies in the Netherlands unilaterally terminated their contracts with them. This plunged them instantly into a situation where they had no goods to sell, and having lost their sources of supply, they didn't even have the opportunity to engage in counterfeiting.

After having a romantic time with Wang Yufei for a while, Wang Yufei told Liu Yihua that she and Wang Yifei had become sworn sisters. Wang Yufei had a house in Hong Kong, and Wang Yifei sometimes lived with her.

This logic was naturally clear to Reinhardt as well; the key to victory or defeat lay in whether he could strike down Hipparchus before the latter closed in on him.

Qi Bai stared at Su Lingling for a good while, but Su Lingling maintained a completely calm expression throughout, showing not the slightest hint of a guilty conscience or impatience, as if she were simply waiting for him to make a decision.

It was rumored that after marriage, Lin Ping was oppressed at every turn by his father-in-law and his wife, living a life where he could barely catch a breath.

The next day, Wang Xiulan and her son were sent to the magistrate's office. Almost everyone in the village who wasn't busy went along, saying they were going to serve as witnesses.

Before long, that figure stopped in front of an unassuming cave, double-checked, and strode inside.

Yun Jin realized that this was her sister's colleague, as well as a teacher at this school for the deaf and mute; he was born deaf and mute.

The medicinal effect on Xiao Yuling's body had already worn off, and for him now, dealing with a few third-rate thugs was about as difficult as flicking a few ants to death.

The fat wizard ignored him, his frog-like, bulging eyes sweeping around the room before finally resting on Neil.

"Are you confident about next month's palace examination?" The Emperor said it was just casual conversation. And it truly was casual conversation, like an elder filled with deep curiosity.

Yun Jin was completely unaware of this matter; she didn't even know the origin of this so-called celebration banquet.

Zhou Yuyan's words carried a veiled threat, yet they sounded pleasant to the ear. Disguising his own sharpness was his forte, regardless of the circumstances.

The two internal energy vortexes on Xia Sen's body flared, and he curled his hands into claws to blast forward. Xiao Chen let out a muffled groan and instantly flew backward with a thunderous crash, smashing half the wall down and tumbling into the next room.

Everyone else's demands were very simple and clear-cut, but what Han Zhenhan wanted left Gao Qiong completely baffled. What long-voyage ocean expeditions? What was so difficult about building ships? Weren't they just a few pieces of wood pieced together? As long as they didn't sink, wouldn't that suffice?

By this point, Liu Zheng no longer wished to conceal anything. His intentions and those of Han Zhenhan had long been seen through completely. At times, Liu Zheng even suspected that Han Zhenhan understood the future whereabouts of the Luzhou army better than Liu Zheng himself did.

Gu Xi did not pay much attention to their side, instead slowly walking along the ruins, his gaze sweeping across various spots.

Reloading the magazine, Xiao Chen and Han Shuang hid behind a building, poked the muzzle of the sniper rifle out, and waited for the Wind Wolf tribesmen below to come up. Of course, they did not expect them to show themselves immediately, unless the Wind Wolves were all complete idiots; on the contrary, these fellows were extremely ferocious and cunning.

Everyone suddenly revealed looks of surprise. The big-man's martial skill and weight were undeniable, yet he was lifted and tossed away by Xiao Chen as if he weighed nothing. Just how immense must this young man's strength be?

Seeing her agree, Mu Zhijun finally released her hand, got up to wrap himself in a bathrobe, and before heading out the door, did not forget to kiss her on the forehead.

I was losing my patience, calculating in my mind whether the sharpness of the thin thread inside the prayer bead bracelet could cut through this wooden plank. But just as I was about to act, my shoulder suddenly sank.

After being shouted at, Liaofan stomped back to his room in a huff and slammed the door heavily. I had no idea how he would ever get past this hurdle, or when his relationship with his master could possibly ease.

Shandong stood utterly isolated, far from the capital, yet with a dense population. More importantly, Shandong was not a prosperous region. Taking over this place would only increase the various expenditures of the Great Song. Once Shandong was developed, it would then be conquered by the Mongols; by that time, the money poured into it would be like throwing coins into the water.

Having visited Shoukang Palace once three years ago, Du Jingyi had since been observing mourning rites for her father-in-law, so the days she entered the palace could be counted on one hand, let alone coming to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. Thus, even as she walked forward, she looked around her in all directions, feeling a trance-like sense of having returned to the former Changchun Palace.

Hearing Zhang Jingzhong's words, Chu Xiu patted his shoulder somewhat helplessly and offered words of comfort.

Tsunade looked at Bianyue, who was bustling about beside her hospital bed, her gaze softening without her even realizing it.

Inside the Hokage's office, Senju Tobirama cast a somewhat helpless glance at Bianyue, who was seated beside him.
