Volume 1, Chapter 52: Sister-in-law Wang Comes Asking for the Braised Food Recipe
Ever since she could remember, Brother Xianglin had always been by her side, buying her delicious treats, pretty trinkets, and fun toys—none of which could be found in the palace.
However, just as these people were preparing to force their way into the Demon-Sealing Valley, they were suddenly intercepted by another group.
The Yin-fiend rain was saturated with Yin-fiend energy; once it landed on a human body, this malevolent energy would burrow straight inside.
Both of them detected the enemy's presence, yet this adversary approached from the front without any concealment—what utter confidence, to the point of completely disregarding them.
Zhao Xi secretly felt that she was too naive and lacked Shen Fei's foresight, yet Shen Fei's pride was simply too strong. If it were her, accepting a connection meant accepting a connection; with that familial bond already in place, why not embrace it?
Currently, his subordinates were all at home and completely unoccupied. There was no shortage of able-bodied workers who were hardworking and resilient—why would he ever need outsiders?
Although the alarm was lifted, everyone kept a firm grip on their weapons. Therefore, the moment they spotted the enemy, they immediately raised their guard.
Seeing Long Heru's brows tightly knitted together, Nanny Jin supported her into the inner chamber, lit some calming incense, and then summoned a few kneeling maidservants from outside, instructing them to clean up the mess on the floor.
Fortunately, Sima Jiao did not say much more and voluntarily closed his eyes. Liao Tingyan lowered her gaze and noticed that with his eyes closed like this, Sima Jiao actually looked quite like a sickly, delicate young beauty, inexplicably adding a touch of fragile pity to him, entirely unlike the tyrannical and unapproachable demeanor he displayed when his eyes were open.
The imperial guard withdrew his gaze with a trace of lingering reluctance, though he still wore no pleasant expression toward Yun Lingjing.
The roar of the tiger pierced through the iron cage, drawing gasps of astonishment from the crowd, and a few of the older spectators had already begun to retreat.
Chu Qi smiled brightly at him. "You answer the phone, I'm going to make dinner." With that, she turned to walk toward the kitchen.
After Yun Wu left, Xiao Ran finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, "You can't blame me; if you want to blame someone, blame yourself." With that, she reached her hand into Xue Pei'er's chest, right into the deep cleavage.
Shu Sui should be very glad that she didn't have such a pair of lantern-like eyes; otherwise, it would have been beyond ugly.
"Nothing!" came a muffled voice, traveling through the thin quilt, obstructed by the barrier, and emerging with some difficulty. Xia Yi had no idea what expression Chen Fangping was wearing at the moment, but she herself had no desire to crawl out, feeling rather like someone playing hide-and-seek.
An emotion of matchless shock and epic grandeur rolled and churned endlessly within her heart, resembling a towering, world-destroying tsunami.
The singularity "One," which had not yet generated a micro-universe, had actually acquired some of the characteristics of a embryonic universe in advance.
Yan Zhengxi searched almost every place she was known to frequent, yet he could find no trace of her. There remained one final place she might have gone, but he truly wished not, nor wanted, to go there.
If they were merely newly arrived miners in the mining area, did he still need to be polite? Immediately, he ordered his two junior martial brothers to step forward and capture this arrogant fool who knew neither the height of heaven nor the depth of the earth.
I suspected she was the one who threw the dart; what other explanation could there be? Actually, I should have mustered up the courage to ask her, but the words just wouldn't come out.
"An acquaintance?" Yuan Shuai asked with a smile toward Mu Xiaoran, acting as if they were very close.
This left me with nothing to worry about, especially since all three of us were wearing protective armor. We heard a loud bang—this donkey was truly fierce, actually knocking down an entire wall.
After resting by the riverbank for a while until our clothes were mostly dry, we walked back to the highway to flag down a car and return to the city. We were all deeply depressed; Yu Si had actually been lying. Yet I couldn't fathom why he would trick us into believing that Chen Yuhan's corpse was submerged in this stretch of the river. Since the secret of the murder was already out, did he really care if the body was found?
Yu Dian drew his true form closer to the two of them this time, reducing the surface area exposed to attacks, while Xingkong Xingfeng and Xing Feng also stepped aside slightly to ensure he remained sheltered.
"Swish!" As soon as the Jade Emperor finished speaking, he instantly transformed into a streak of golden light and vanished into the void, leaving the various deities in the Hall of Miraculous Mist with no chance to speak at all.
Ye Luo was captured by the Phoenix clan experts, brought aboard a starship, and handed over to the Phoenix clan's First Princess, Feng Huang, for punishment. He originally thought his life was in grave danger, but unexpectedly, due to the incident involving Yue Qingying, not only did he turn enemies into friends with Feng Huang, but he also became an honored guest of the Phoenix clan.
Originally, the netherworld soldiers and generals of the Ghost Realm had their broken banners kept separately by the Ten Kings of Hell, while the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva held the method for summoning them. This was to prevent the banners of the netherworld soldiers from falling into the hands of those with malicious intent.
Chu Yun only felt his bloodline surge even more violently, seemingly impossible to suppress any longer. His breathing became erratic, yet his vigilance remained undiminished.
She must be half-in-doubt right now, but once the general election in June arrived and Sashihara Rino snatched away the championship crown that rightfully belonged to her, she would completely believe his words—believing that Sashihara Rino's back-stage agency had manipulated the results.
Tears battered her pupils, falling in large droplets onto Lin Nuo's shoulders. Her body trembled uncontrollably, her sobs shifting from silent grief to a completely broken breakdown.
The concert was set to begin tomorrow night, and tickets for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra were exceptionally scarce; even with his immense wealth, gathering two tickets on such short notice would be exceedingly difficult.
Sure enough, the moment the door opened, countless zombies surged in from outside. Zhao Ning's expression changed abruptly, and he abruptly raised a foot, kicking them straight back out.
