She was perhaps the only person who possessed fame, yet whenever she was recognized, people dared not approach her.
Shen Nanxing pondered for a moment, deciding it would be best to sell just one item to start with. She rummaged through her parcel and pulled out a few pairs of socks.
At that exact moment, heavy footsteps echoed along the road as Zhang Xuan arrived outside the prison cell.
Ji Mingyu understood the nature of Physician Zhang; though somewhat pedantic, he was undeniably skilled and not a bad man at heart.
David Martinez understood Officer Ward well. "Night City" had always been this "man-eating" place, leaving those who wanted to do "good" or simply live a decent life in constant fear, making it impossible to lead a normal existence.
His son? Yinxi? Jiang Dian finally remembered what he had forgotten: Jiang Yinxi was still in the dungeon, and he had no idea if the Old Dragon King had harmed him yet.
Another youth with a cold expression immediately retracted the pink snake from atop his head. He would not sit idly by and wait for death. As the first among those to ascend to immortality, having finally traveled from the South Seas to the Great Tang with dreams of becoming a Child of Heaven, how could he be captured by these mere mortals?
After all, this guard had been sent by Cao Cao; he had not spent much time with him and would only obey orders.
Upon seeing that Uncle Pei and the others were still planning to eat corn buns, they asked and discovered that they had not brought any grain at all, only dry rations.
Bai Luoyuan was seventeen this year. Despite his stern appearance, he acted bashfully in front of Gu Lin.
Discarding tacky concrete structures, the place was filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers, and the buildings were crafted from solid wood, bamboo, and other natural materials.
Mu Wudi never expected that Lin Feng would call him back from abroad only to speak as if he were arranging his own funeral.

Huang Paopao huffed indignantly, "This matter has nothing to do with me, but to prove my innocence, I am willing to sacrifice my own kin for the sake of righteousness." Saying this, he unbuckled his belt and bound Chen Xiaoling’s hands.
However, the social customs of the time were open-minded, and beauties were a common sight on the streets of Luoyang, so the crowd merely cast curious glances without losing their composure.
"After you subdued the blood corpse, I rushed over to take a look, but I was so excited that I didn't notice the hole under my feet and fell in!" Captain Zhong was covered in filth and emitted an unbearable, putrid stench.
Yet, it seemed that the battle would not be ending anytime soon.
Lu Shi and Lin Saiyu were both startled. How could someone as honest as Cao Sanlang dare to fight others?
While Lin Saiyu was inwardly criticizing the situation, Lady Liu simply forced her to remain kneeling without saying a word, her face cold and her mind seemingly elsewhere, completely ignoring the fact that Lin Saiyu’s delicate knees, which had never knelt before, were aching.
Around the Hour of the Rooster, the moon hung high in the sky, bathing the earth in silver. A few stars were faintly scattered about, and a gentle breeze blew, adding a touch of warmth to the spring night.
"Are those who commit evil not supposed to be struck by divine retribution? If not, what justice is there left in this world?" Huang Paopao refused to back down.
The end of the news report showed the corpses of nearly a thousand mercenaries, a shocking and horrific sight covering the mountains and plains.
Without the interference of other extraterrestrials, the success rate of Zhan Fei’s plan was infinitely close to one hundred percent, safe and free of accidents. But with so many meddling characters involved, the stability of the entire plan would be completely ruined.
Regardless, 1A7489 would never waste precious time proactively learning any of humanity's foolish methods of physical combat.
"This... I understand the situation; these are the directives from the Provincial Radio and Television Bureau. The Yuncheng City Television Station can only follow the instructions of the Provincial Bureau." The staff at the Propaganda Department really wanted to cry at this moment.

But what level of strength did Zhan Fei possess? He had only a normal human physique, and though he was joined by other Universe Lords—and was now many times more powerful than he had been in the beginning—he could kill any Chaos monster with a single strike... provided he was not subjected to a concentrated long-range barrage from multiple monsters at once.
"Master, Master, Master! Something is wrong! Something is wrong!" came a hurried pounding on the door from outside, followed by a scream, and then the pounding suddenly stopped.
"Don't blame your sister for being blunt, but I still feel that some things need to be said. It will be for your own good." Kim Sun-ah hesitated, then finally pulled the car over to the side of the road and spoke solemnly.
Lie Yan roared, "Who dares to hurt my son? It seems you’ve all grown tired of living!" Without further ado, he pulled out two fire spirit orbs and hurled them over. Mu Tiankuang was left between laughter and tears; it was impossible to even stop him in time.
From the continuous, deafening stream of insults coming through the receiver, Xu Hua finally believed that the always kind-hearted, gentle, and benevolent Boss Liu had indeed been a mid-level officer who participated in a self-defense counterattack war decades ago.
The process was complete, including Fang Yuru speaking to her phone, right up until the moment Zhan Fei pricked her neck with a needle and she lost her memory... everything was recorded. There were no cuts in the footage, confirming that Zhan Fei had never left or tampered with the video.
Immediately, Meng Qi shifted his gaze to the large box behind him. It contained the vortex worm armor; at this moment, the origin of this item was the only thing Meng Qi was unclear about. He looked at Liu Yufei, waiting for her explanation.
Meng Qi felt he still knew too little. After observing for a while, he realized this path must still be quite long. Thinking it over, he decided to take this opportunity to clear up his confusion.
