At Song Wan’s urging, Cui’er also became somewhat reckless. She secretly slipped away from the county office and returned home, where she found the bag of poison carefully stored in Song Wan’s room.

The crowd watching erupted at once, hurling curses at Yang Chen until spittle splattered across his face.

Zhai Heng left him with nothing but a tall, slender back. Enraged, he seized the soft cushion beside him, flung it to the floor, and let out a furious roar.

Neither Wei Zhenbang nor Wei Zaizhong—not even the entire Wei family—dared to cross swords with Chu Mu, Zhu Delin, Gu Lie, and the others of the Golden Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

The steward smiled gently. Not a trace of impatience toward Chu Xiao’s arrogance showed on his deeply wrinkled face.

At this, Charlotte felt his spirits soar. A vast, boundless world of superpowered individuals, brimming with infinite possibilities, was slowly unfolding before him.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi were cut from the same cloth. Their thoughts and goals were identical; only their methods differed.

He was actually rather worried. He feared that Wan Shijie’s relationship with Yang Chen might be far from ordinary, and that he would protect Yang Chen as the Murong family had done.

“They are under extremely heavy guard. After Mr. Eugene left, they practically mobilized every soldier they could,” the reconnaissance knight reported.

The purchasing section had the greatest number of young people in the logistics department, and temporary workers were also abundant there, making up more than half the staff.

Li Shanshan was especially outgoing; she practically wished she could climb all over Guo Ke to examine his condition and satisfy her curiosity.

While the lords continued to chatter amid the uproar, Rainer slowly entered the council chamber.

Beneath the cherry trees in Jingyi Park, Chu Yan found Jiang Qingfeng wearing a straw hat and quietly pruning the flowers.

After delivering his threat, Fang Zhaotian strode toward his luxury car, stamping his feet so hard that it seemed he might cause an earthquake.

“Perhaps. But I think this incomplete development may actually be a good thing. These two rainbow skylarks should have greater potential than their kin.” With that, Ming Yue opened the incubator, used wind magic to dry the two rainbow skylarks’ drenched feathers, and then lifted them out.

The descending stun batons whistled through the air. Crossing one another, they completely blocked Guo Ke’s path forward.

“How can you see through my attacks?” The Enchantress did not answer Chen Tianhao’s question directly. Instead, she voiced one of her own.

Most importantly, the bullets inside the gun were made from metal devoid of spiritual energy. In terms of material, a single mithril arrowhead was at least equivalent to a thousand bullets.

In truth, Zhang Yang knew this veteran leading the team extremely well. As an old racecar mechanic, the veteran had always been Zhang Yang’s idol. He, too, had once been a mechanic, but back then his skill had been far beyond anything Zhang Yang could match.

Few rookies newly entering the league disliked being surrounded by cameras. And since they were in Los Angeles, Gordon had no reason to refuse.

In an instant, everyone’s eyes turned toward Shui Lan. Yet when Duke Rongtai mentioned her, an ominous premonition rose in Shui Lan’s heart.

Mei Zhaoling grew even more worried after hearing this. She was not concerned about Yu Hui’s head; rather, she had never imagined that her master’s desire for the Phoenixfire Qilin Heart would be so intense as well.

The sentence itself was utterly ordinary, yet it somehow struck the perfect comedic nerve. Like the sudden tears of everyday life, emotions could arrive the moment they were summoned, regardless of whether they had anything to do with the situation.

“Master, the eldest young master and his wife are taking a Duanyang bath. Chengxia and I are waiting outside,” Cheng An reported.

Everyone present who witnessed that bizarre and astonishing scene began shouting in alarm.

The next day was once again the day Su Ruoyao was to have her dressing changed. Cheng Dizhi had been gloomy for several days and decided to visit Cheng Yanzhong, who had not been to school for many days. His main purpose, however, was to see how Su Ruoyao was doing. Once the rest of the family learned of it, they followed suit, preparing gifts and coming to visit her.

An aunt over there was in a car accident and broke both legs. She probably won’t be able to work for more than half a year, so I was assigned to go over and help her two days a week.

The maid spoke with a sob in her voice. “She said she didn’t know. We thought she was going to the memorial tablet to cry, so we didn’t stop her. Who could have guessed she would turn this way? I’ve already sent someone to fetch the older women, but they haven’t arrived yet. Since she’s out of her mind, the maid can’t hold her back either. We can only ask Madam to go over and scold her a little, just to frighten her into stopping.”

Bai Fan looked at Su Mu in confusion, then exchanged a glance with the unnamed young cultivator beside him. His eyes flickered as he asked doubtfully,

The more Xiao Xiao looked at Yan Qinqing, the more she liked her. Although she was only sixteen, she behaved like a sensible adult; everything she said and did seemed proper and considerate. Her personality also appeared especially cheerful, sweeping away Xiao Xiao’s earlier worries in an instant.

Do not forget that the strongest person in the building was not Second Master Gui, but Auntie Li. Auntie Li’s greatest ability was not anything else—it was her uncanny power to accurately predict the future.

When they reached Gu Yan’s hospital room, Xiao Yuezhu was just seeing off the doctor who had come to examine him. She wore a grateful smile and, upon noticing them, smiled and nodded.

Then, out of curiosity, she turned her head to study Ning Anyan. He was taking out his phone and sending a text message. Even in profile, he was exceptionally handsome, thanks to his tall, straight nose. He was simply flawless.

It was only during this period that Su Wan had the chance to meet the Third Young Master Yun. It turned out that some of those people had been sent out by him, which now provided a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Seeing that he had changed the subject, Yan Qinqing let her gaze fall upon the roses. She bent down and pretended to try lifting a bucket of them, though she seemed unable to muster enough strength.

The projectiles were aimed not only at Niu Heita and the five birds; some of them split off and flew toward the place where Jiang Ning and the others were hiding.

Up ahead, Liu Zun’s speed had already begun to slow. The damned pill’s side effects were simply too severe. A pill capable of forcibly raising one’s cultivation by two major stages was naturally astonishingly powerful, but its drawbacks were equally obvious. By now, he felt pain spreading through every inch of his body.

Lance remained unmoved by David’s words, while David was already itching to go out womanizing.

The audience in Hong Kong had never seen this side of Liu Hua. They had never heard him sing a song like this before.

Jiang J静竹 immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Yucheng detected something amiss in my tone.
