Volume 1, Chapter 38: Jumping from the Building

Dong Qianqian was unimpressed. No matter how handsome a person was, she had already seen enough in her past life; spending all night staring at someone held no appeal for her. There were very few ugly people in the entire imperial palace, and her aesthetic standards had long been elevated to an incredible height. Unless a blonde, blue-eyed foreigner appeared before her, she might curiously steal a glance, much like looking at a Western painting. Seeing her lack of interest, Feng Liping stopped gossiping about how attractive the person was. She couldn't help but sigh that the girl was still young; once she grew up, she would realize what a beautiful sight she had missed—a pity. Such a person simply didn't belong in their circle. Born a chosen darling of the heavens, a man among...

Distinct from the ordinary servant contract, this temporary contract was quite unique. It did not differ significantly in substance from a standard contract, save for its limitations on use. The temporary contract was not originally created by humans; it was crafted by a powerful, alien beast that had received a great favor from humanity. Now, as Yun Ze asked her directly if she was unsatisfied, Tong Guai-guai admitted she had been dazed. She kept feeling that her CEO had actually asked, "Are you unwilling?" Or perhaps it was that sentence from the day his heart was broken—that no matter what he did, everything was to protect her?

"You want to leave? It’s not that easy! First, promise me that you will never set foot in the Tianxuan Academy again, or I will beat you every time I see you from now on!" Locke said viciously.

"I like it! Mind your own business!" As for airs of office, Fred was an anomaly. He was extremely strict when enforcing military law, but in casual settings, he was always cheerful, acting like an ordinary person and mingling with the soldiers.

Cai Bing'er left just as Xiao Yichen arrived. They brushed past each other; Xiao Yichen glanced at Cai Bing'er, but she, with her eyes fixed on the heavens, did not notice him.

At the very moment Gu Fan was deep in thought, the Saber-Toothed Tiger King lunged forward. Since its body was reduced to white bone, it could not roar, and one could only hear a soft whistle as the wind rushed through its hollow cavity. The sharp teeth of the Saber-Toothed Tiger King reached within a foot of Gu Fan.

Subsequently, Xue Ji forcibly tore Zishuo’s soul from his physical shell, extracting it completely.

"I never expected this seclusion to last for ten years. I wonder how my parents are doing." As he spoke, Zhang Fan couldn't help but miss his family. He wasn't overly worried about their health; long ago, he had given his parents elixirs to strengthen their bodies, which were enough to keep them free from all illnesses.

"Sigh, why are we sketching at this time of year? In previous years, we always came in April or May. Why did we come as soon as the semester started this year?" Another male student wearing a Zhongshan suit asked, feeling puzzled.

"Yes, the person I wish to accuse is here today!" Mao Ji’s gaze swept to his right. As the King’s special advisor, Chen Zaixing was sitting there, watching him with a smiling expression.

With his mind preoccupied, Li Yulan didn't find the meal appetizing. She was considerate enough not to disturb him, even helping him pick up food, almost to the point of feeding him herself.

A sudden attack had thus ended. The Allied Forces lost thirty thousand men, while the Sinners lost over four hundred thousand of their undead troops—that was all.

Moreover, those tea trees were only about a meter high and could not compare to mountain tea trees. The leaves of the mountain tea trees were almost useless—too old, large, and coarse; only the fruit had any utility.

With the opening of the portal and after promising Han Fang that he would definitely bring Han Bing back when he had time, Chen Yufan’s figure vanished from Han Fang’s sight.

Chu Mingqiu chuckled. Chu Qing pulled him toward the seats. Chu Mingqiu looked; it was the head table. Beside the two high-ranking officials who had just spoken, there were also Chu Kuanyuan and Xia Yan. Chu Kuanyuan was laughing and chatting with the elderly man who had spoken first.

Because the concerts in the five cities were held in succession, ticket sales began in Tokyo and moved to the other cities. Some loyal fans even followed the tour through all five cities, seeking only to remain by their idol's side and listen to Teresa Teng’s sweet, timeless songs.

However, if one were to say that the River Chart was born in the chaos of the Three Realms, or before the chaos of the Three Realms, it would conflict with everything Chen Xi understood.

Seeing Artoria’s behavior, Li Lin had no particular thoughts. He seemed to have expected this all along, so he felt no disappointment, his calmness chilling to the bone.

"But, how could the Russian army be swallowed during the First World War?" Qin Beifeng posed a question.

Li Yaojie was stunned. Not knowing why his homeroom teacher had called for him, he assumed he was being summoned outside just to be reprimanded.

Zhang Lan walked in, and her partner, Teacher Cui, leaned in, playfully and greedily sniffing the carnations on her chest. Everyone teased him for having the sharp nose of a hound. Teacher Cui ignored them and kept sniffing, making continuous "tsk-tsk" sounds. Suddenly, he discovered a beautiful postcard tucked inside the flowers, the handwriting on it bold and unrestrained.

"After our first separation, you treated me so cruelly that I was terrified," Zhang Lan said softly.

"Uncle, I can help you solve a part of it, but for the rest, I need to go back and discuss it with my eldest cousin." Mi Bai calculated the money Rong Xiaoyu had given her when they divorced; it should be enough to resolve part of the issues for the Lu family.

"I have my own judgment regarding this matter; you don't need to worry about it," Rong Xiaoyu said coldly.

He took the bag and inserted the metal card. Illya nodded in appreciation; there was indeed no need for wasted words with smart people.

Tang Haodong nodded silently and pointed toward the parking lot. Leopard immediately grabbed the young man and shoved him into the prepared vehicle.

He didn't even look at A-Li, turning and continuing to walk forward. He was so arrogant that his pace was extremely slow, as if nothing had happened, strolling along.

Poor Xiao Le and Jia Xingxing had nearly died of fright. Having finally seen the rear of the car swing back, it felt as though they had walked through the gates of hell. But before they could celebrate, they were viciously thrown against the car door.

The green stone platform stopped slowly after rising ten meters, ensuring that every cultivator on the cyan stone platforms could clearly see everything happening on the green one.

With the goshawk, he could even enter and exit the mountain forests on the days the Mountain Lord returned; he only needed to avoid the dense woods and stick to the plains. If the Mountain Lord approached, the goshawk would detect it from over a hundred miles away.

A figure suddenly darted out from this inn. The person leaped onto the roof, ran with a limp for a while, jumped again, and landed on another building. It was A-Shui.

"Ahem, I delivered it. Just as you instructed, Your Highness, that stalk of Luo Ziying has been used up." Assistant Physician Fu felt somewhat guilty; he hadn't done such things often in the past.
