Mother Liang kicked the door, but the force rebounded, sending her sprawling face-first onto the ground from a distance. Although she had harbored a sense of fear toward the capital's elites due to her merchant background when she first arrived, she was no longer the same.

Jiang Yan clicked "Upgrade." With a flash of light, three Level 1 amber stones vanished, replaced by a single Level 2 amber stone.

Unexpectedly, the anticipated rage from President Cheng never came. The moment he saw Shen Hao, President Cheng’s eyes lit up.

Shen Nuo kept her eyes closed and remained silent, but before long, she felt a damp, warm sensation at her fingertips as a tongue licked across them.

Huo Lanchuan’s expression remained as calm as deep water. He shifted his feet unobtrusively to the side, blocking Nan Wan’s view.

Chu Ling sat up, bleary-eyed and yawning frequently. He had slept very late; to destroy the wooden box, he had used the clumsiest method, wrapping it in a silk quilt and using a hard object to smash it while trying to dampen the sound, then burning the fragments in several charcoal braziers.

After speaking, he placed his hand on the buttons of his collar. His movements were slow and deliberate, his slender, jade-like fingers a delight to watch.

Just as Li Zhong prepared to bow, the white-haired elder, dressed in white mourning robes, set down what he was holding and fixed his murky eyes on Li Zhong.

Once Su Yuxi’s figure vanished at the doorway, the man turned his gaze back to Shen Hao.

The sky grew dark, and the roars of wild beasts echoed through the forest from time to time, casting an ominous hue over the darkening woods.

Hearing this, Tian Ye nodded. As a late-stage Martial Sect expert, he naturally knew how to alter a person’s physique, though it required cultivation resources and medicine. Since Bai Ye had promised to provide the resources, this was no longer an issue, and Tian Ye could certainly handle it.

"What are you doing!" Just as Ai Yimo was about to touch the teddy bear, Luo Qifeng grabbed her hand tightly, his expression grim.

The sunlight reflecting off the various houses created a beautiful halo. Looking around, the buildings surrounding Fire Phoenix were all constructed of wood, their colors relatively uniform.

"Be safe. Call me when you get to the hotel." She typed and deleted several times before finally sending those simple words.

"Boss, who are we meeting that’s so important?" Blood Leopard paused, watching Bai Ye’s solemn expression with a touch of suspicion.

"Min Hao is also looking for Ruan Bing. I think he will follow Xu Jie, so I will have my men keep an eye on him," Yin Feng stated his purpose.

"I’ve locked him up. He hasn’t eaten for a day and a night. He’s too disobedient and annoying." As Cheng Xunjun said this, her gaze remained fixed on Chen Yujian.

"Water..." the man groaned again, his voice carrying a dark, hoarse tone.

"Ugh... is that Hiratsuka Shizuka trying to rush me to my grave?" Arthur grumbled, clearly dissatisfied with the unscrupulous teacher’s constant urging.

The Wolf God’s avatar dared not delay. With a surge of divine power, a vast amount of energy poured out, covering the edges of the illusory realm to isolate it from the real world. Though the massive amount of faith energy was being rapidly depleted, there was no longer any fear of the illusory world collapsing before the membrane wore away.

The monster that appeared at the Central University was a parasite from a dinosaur egg fossil, which Fujimiya had tampered with and named "Absolute Creature Geak." It could transform into the ultimate organism capable of efficiently driving its target to extinction—a nightmare for the vast majority of living beings.

Upon receiving the news, Captain Hayate was stunned for a long while before heading to TPC, where he met the surrendering Chadabin and Miki aliens.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... swish!" Just as the Yellow Turban Warrior Legion, summoned by Zhang Jiao, charged to a position twenty paces in front of the Shield Battalion, a series of dense, piercing whistles tore through the night sky of the camp.

"Director, according to the current data, the alien that GUYS received reports about should be an Interdimensional Being." Unlike her usual lively personality, Fujisawa Mami was always quite serious when it came to business.

At the end of the 1991 lunar year—which was the beginning of 1992 in the solar calendar—Shanghai introduced stock subscription certificates. Priced at 30 yuan each, they were sold in unlimited quantities and valid for one year.

He gripped his blade tightly and slowly rounded the screen. Before the sweat on his nose had even dried, he saw Gongsun Duan blocking his path like a mountain.

Furthermore, this outcome did not look like the work of human intervention; it felt more like a prank played by fate itself.

The money saved over ten years was suddenly bottoming out. It looks like I’ll have to make a trip to Hong Kong and Macau, Long Aotian thought to himself.

A signed divorce agreement? Do I still not understand him well enough? He actually gave me something like this.

The man was extremely burly, not much smaller than Er Hu. He had a massive head with hair that was slightly dark purple, and his thick arms were broader than an average person’s thighs. His bare upper body rippled with muscle, radiating raw power.

"Master Guo, Master Zhang, everything is set up. You should go get some rest; I’ll keep an eye on things here," Hu Dexing said as he approached.

"What kind of story are you reading? It’s too lewd and bad for your sleep." With that, he crumpled the paper and tossed it away.

Long after everything settled, Yin Su Su lay limply on Long Aotian, idly drawing circles on his chest.

Although I sympathize with Lu Manxi, if she weren't so full of resentment and were willing to let go of her obsession, wouldn't she be better off?

"Aunt Qing, I’m going to start the massage. If it feels uncomfortable, just let me know." With that, she began.

She sighed in disappointment, thinking it was impossible anyway—her husband was already out squandering their wealth, and the coffers were long since empty.

"Ugh..." Tang Jin felt a faint sense of guilt rising in his heart. Is what I did... right or wrong?

The split part revealed a shimmering, silver luster, just like metal, with no signs of normal flesh or even a drop of blood. If Gao Yue had seen it, he would have immediately noticed the anomaly, but unfortunately, he was running at full speed without looking back and missed the sight.

Upon receiving notification, Chou, knowing the status of Lu Su as the heart of the Qin King and aware of his extraordinary strategic mind, immediately received him with the most solemn etiquette.
