In her freshman year, on the very day of her birthday, Fang Tianrui happened to be away on a business trip! Eager to return in time to celebrate her birthday with her, he wrapped up his official duties a day early and caught the very last flight to a city neighboring Hong Kong, as all direct flights to Hong Kong were already fully booked.

"We can do it!" the commander of the 026 Battalion shouted out first, stepping forward and lifting his chin with a proud expression.

It is precisely because they were far apart and unfamiliar with one another that they could afford each other greater tolerance, and through that tolerance, foster a better relationship.

The calamity that befell the Feng family was the result of his own erroneous decision, and he could not stand idly by and watch the family vanish into the river of history. For him, the greatest wish of his lifetime was to revive the Feng family.

Qiao Yimo lowered his gaze with utter composure to glance briefly at Thunder Tiger, before shifting his attention to Xia Zimeng. By now, she was slumped limply beside Ye Yifan, yet upon seeing Qiao Yimo, she showed no particular sign of astonishment.

Kalgoorlie's railway station was packed to capacity every day. Without a doubt, while perhaps not quite reaching the overwhelming scale of China's Spring Festival migration, it still possessed a rather formidable momentum.

After all, he was a prince—and a prince who had once been powerful enough to command the winds and rains. He had to die with dignity, so they planned to invite Yun Xiangrong's opera troupe to the estate to erect a stage and perform funeral dirges. To Zhao Nan's deep anxiety, Yun Xiangrong had actually accepted the engagement.

"You wouldn't dare!" Liang Duo brandished his saber as the officers and soldiers closed in on him, yet he found himself with nowhere left to retreat.

Sha Shikai had long guessed that Jing Xi intended to trap Julie, but he had never imagined that Jing Xi was actually after Julie's life.

Things having reached this point, and having personally fabricated so many plausible reasons, Bai Ze truly did not believe that Kaisa would continue to insist on remaining here.

His opponent was Yichen, the man Siyan had secretly loved for ten years. Indeed, he did not possess a hundred percent certainty of victory.

After stepping out of the ward, he did not leave right away. Instead, he wandered around for a bit and exchanged a few words with several seated officers of the Fourth Division.

It took a long time for him to calm the turbulent waves within his heart. Subconsciously lowering his gaze to his own abdomen, he could not help but tremble violently as his voice shook.

Duan Gongda remained silent and pushed open a door. Qu Fuguo peered inside to see two princesses sitting within, looking at the intruders in terror, instinctively pressing their bodies against the corner of the wall and huddling together.

Having originally planned to leave right after informing her of the result, Wang Guizhi stayed instead to brief her extensively on the various matters requiring attention while working at the school.

Having just arrived previously, no one knew his true background or capabilities, which was why their greetings and courtesy back then were merely standard politeness, completely unlike today's enthusiastic warmth.

"What about tonight? A movie or karaoke?" Last time at Starlight, he had caught a cold and squandered a golden opportunity to sing a duet with Siyan, a source of great regret.

Such a rate of promotion could only be described as exorbitant. After all, a lieutenant captain was already considered part of the captain tier, belonging to the absolute upper crust of Seireitei.

Believing himself to possess strong self-control, whose emotions remained impervious to external disturbances, he had thought he could calmly welcome the sprouting of the seed.

"How is it? Do you have time? Care to go out for a drink?" Zhe leaned back into the sofa, crossing his long legs with a leisurely air.

A resounding clash of swords rang out across the heavens. A beam of light, pure as a strip of white silk, surged out of the Song residence, shot straight into the sky, and then streaked rapidly toward the north.

Ye Chen stepped forward, placed a hand on his shoulder, and channeled his spiritual energy into his body, causing his father to drift into a deep sleep.

A sword Qi radiance is the most fundamental form of energy. The higher his cultivation, the more powerful the sword radiance attack becomes. Up to this point, the utmost he could manage was to keep his sword Qi from extending five centimeters beyond the blade itself. The moment Ye Chen blocked Long Er's path with his longsword, that sword radiance would be unleashed. This battle would be decided in the blink of an eye.

"The new master of Sand City! The Brotherhood!" Cheers erupted throughout the hall, and Chen Gang jumped up excitedly along with the rest.

Xiang Yu cast a strange look at Lu Ming, realizing that he could not even fathom the thoughts of this descendant from the future.

Well-trained, he pinned Liu Shan right on the platform, and while reporting to his superiors that the suspect had been captured, he produced a pair of handcuffs and secured Liu Shan to the railing.

The live comment stream was flooded with fierce debate, with supporters and opponents of Emperor Yang of Sui nearly triggering a war of words.

Enraged by this defiance, the enigmatic expert directly absorbed all of their internal energy and left them abandoned right here.

Qin Jiu glanced at Xu Qiang and noticed that she, too, was reaching her limit, so he led them toward a city to rest.

For an eclectic practitioner and corpse-cultivator like Old Daoist Ma, following the Star Lord actually turned out to be a stroke of good fortune. Had he not seen his crippled leg completely healed?

A massive chunk of meat was impaled on the Tang saber held high by Fatso Qu, a piece he had just fished out from the bronze tripod.

With a crisp slap, the blade struck my shoulder, sending forth sparks. When I attempted to counterattack with my sword, he had already nimbly evaded it.

Exchanging a glance with Bai Yi and Er Dagan, both of whom wore similarly bewildered expressions, I steadied Brother Mao by the shoulder and forcibly pulled him to his feet.

"Go send word to the Four Elders of Jingshan and tell them that Long Fei requests an audience!" Anxious to see Guo Jia, Long Fei wished to avoid any conflict with these people.

Hearing this, Chen Hao knitted his brows even tighter. He understood perfectly well what Old Wei meant by such remarks; it was blatantly obvious that he was being summoned over. Otherwise, given Old Wei's temperament, he would never have deigned to make such a request.

The anomaly was not taking place where they stood, but rather in the sky. The blazing, overwhelmingly intense redundant sun had transformed back into nine suns, while in the distance, another giant drawing a bow was striding toward the mountains.

I stood there in a daze, then lunged forward, groping frantically across the high wall from left to right, up and down, only to find no hidden mechanisms or secret passages.

"Damn it, that menopause-ridden woman," I grumbled through gritted teeth. Ever since boarding the Archangel, I had been completely at the mercy of Lieutenant Mirelle Subach. Of course, this was not due to any incompetence on my part, but rather because we stood on entirely unequal footing—after all, far too many of my weaknesses were in her hands.
