The Crown Prince entertained only him today. Over the banquet, the two brothers exchanged many intimate words, though whether they were sincere or feigned was known only to them.

As time passed, everyone understood: do not let your feelings for Song Nian'an show on your face, or you will likely get beaten up.

Lu Ziming was still gambling; he did not believe a demon would truly abandon its former glory to live a life of being bullied forever.

He carried her to the bedroom, tucked her in, went downstairs to wash the dishes, sent a message to Jiang's mother, and then went back upstairs.

Answer: I did not hire anyone to commit murder. I only told Zhao Meng to teach my brother-in-law, Zhu Xiaojie, a lesson—meaning just give him a few punches and kicks.

Miao Zong had changed. Although he dressed like a delinquent, the glint in his eyes and his ambition signaled that the once unremarkable boy had grown up.

Prime Minister Bai had only meant to ask, but upon seeing her expression, he found himself unable to make up his mind.

"If you want to blame someone, blame your Black Charcoal Holy Land for making an enemy of that lord." Li Tong struck with a smile, eliminating the expert from the Black Charcoal Holy Land on the spot.

When Du Bian woke up again, his entire body was submerged in nearly scalding herbal decoction, and Li Wei was rubbing a type of oil onto his skin.

Li Ruoli was also very satisfied with this house; perhaps she had already come to regard it as her home. This was one of the reasons she refused to work at a prestigious school in a big city and insisted on working at Qiong University.

"The demon race is indeed not prepared for war right now. Shiyi's sudden provocation likely caught the Demon Emperor off guard as well, so I believe this proposal is credible," said Tian Xuanzi.

Because, if she followed her own heart, she actually wanted to wait for Li Erlong to return. After all, besides her mother Zhang Guizhi asking her to bring some fresh melons and fruits to Li Erlong's house, she also had something she wanted to discuss with him.

Nicholas Tai fell face-first onto the ground and got a mouthful of dirt. He tried to push himself up for a long time but couldn't, his eyes sweeping toward Chen Fu with hidden venom.

Father Kuaizi said, "Yes, you. Didn't that monk tell you that you have roots of wisdom? That’s it! You are naturally destined for Buddhism. As long as you copy the Guanyin Heart Sutra all night without stopping, the acolytes of Guanyin Bodhisattva will manifest to banish the demons."

Zhang Cuicui had already thought it through: this was better than Zhao Hanliang raping her and then causing a scene at her mother-in-law's house, which would leave her with no way to stay in the Liu family and nowhere to return to at her maiden home, forcing her to live with Zhao Hanliang just as he wanted.

Chen Jiachang blushed, intentionally stepping on the other’s foot. To expose her shortcomings in public—it was truly unforgivable.

Having witnessed many experts from the Nine Immortal Realms join forces to bombard the Great Wilderness Holy Dynasty, Qin Yu was not surprised by the military’s formation.

Tang Long also began the external examination of the corpse. At first glance, the deceased was dressed entirely in red—lipstick, eyebrows, nails, hair, earrings, rings, and necklace were all red. No valuables were found on the body. Could it be a robbery-murder by an acquaintance to silence the victim? Tang Long began to speculate.

Hearing Shen Qingyan's words, Pei Zhiyan finally snapped out of his thoughts and walked forward with long strides. After Pei Zhiyan went inside, Shen Qingyan tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. It seemed she had slept too much that afternoon, leaving her with no drowsiness at all.

Two police officers greeted A-Si warmly. The police force had its own traditions: just graduating from the police academy with top grades, perfect marksmanship, and bravery in combat would not immediately make you one of their own. Only when you follow a mentor and charge to the front lines can you become a true police officer.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Daya asked as she turned back, her body sinking slightly under the weight of the basket she had prepared.

Back then, just to show off, Qin Chuan had driven all the way to Bing City. Before leaving, he had conveniently parked the car at the Bing City Boiler Factory. Later, he returned directly without visiting the factory again, leaving the car there. Now, it was time to have someone drive it back.

The Santana's door closed. Chetri seemed to have no intention of waiting for Pan Qingyu and ordered the driver to leave.

After Pei Zhiyan drove that person away, he moved a lounge chair from beside Shen Qingyan’s and placed it right next to hers. When Shen Qingyan saw this, she turned her head away, deliberately ignoring him. Seeing this, Pei Zhiyan had no choice but to lie down on the other chair.

After Zhang Xiaoliang got out of the car, he waited a few seconds. A taxi drove past, empty. He raised his hand to flag it down—it turned out he had gotten out because he noticed this taxi.

Tang Long knew that since the cause of death was not asphyxiation, he had to combine findings from the scene to look for other causes. If it wasn't asphyxiation, could it be an accident, poisoning, or illness? Everything was possible, and he had to exclude every possibility from all angles.

Beyond the extraordinary items and cultivation techniques brought back by the "Chosen Ones" from the various heavenly dungeon worlds, the real world itself was also being subtly influenced.

Facing life and death, everyone forgot the biting cold of the freezing pool and unleashed infinite potential. Some learned to swim like frogs, some like fish, and some already knew how to swim.
