Volume 1, Chapter 63: Abnormal

Upon returning to her seat, the first thing she did was call Lu Yuanyuan to lash out at her for talking nonsense and ruining her image.

Sun Li had sharp hearing and had already detected the situation outside. However, Sun Li was not worried. First of all, City Lord Huo and Elder Xue possessed top-tier strength, and this Zhantai Xuanji was even stronger than both of them combined. Earlier, his father had also sent word that he would step in to assist the City Lord's Mansion at the appropriate time.

However, he was currently wearing a shirt; if it got wet, the cold wind would easily give him a cold. In the end, she could not bear to let that happen.

That stubborn fellow Lin is now a dignified engineer who doesn't even go to the construction site, so why transfer me to do these tasks I'm not good at?

Finally, with the old master chiming in to help persuade them, their refusal failed, and they had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

Schools and teachers provide children mostly with knowledge and skills, whereas the personal example and subtle influence of parents should form the initial and most fundamental education. This is the inescapable duty and responsibility of being a parent.

If, at a time like this and while the other party's attention was not focused, they were to approach Luo Feng without authorization, there is no doubt that any slight movement made by him and Bai Zhi would instantly draw the attention of that guard.

Ning Qingyu wanted to blurt out a retort again, but catching herself, she bit her tongue into silence, waved her hand, and simply ignored him.

Once the photograph was forwarded to Lin Yun, he took it and handed it off to the side out of habit, casting a casual and nonchalant glance at it.

On the phone screen was a photo of Ning Qingyu and Shang Yi discussing business. Viewed from that angle, the two sat extremely close together and looked exceptionally intimate, with Ning Qingyu practically pressing herself against Shang Yi.

There were many times when her aunt truly cherished her, but her uncle was different—he maintained that distant feeling, as if a layer of glass separated them.

Feeling sullen, she followed Lu Qian into the car, weaving through the streets until they reached the seaside villa, where Bai Yunshen was already waiting.

A faint smile involuntarily tugged at the corner of Lin Xicheng's lips, though this did not escape Su Qingqing's notice. Wondering what Lin Xicheng was smiling about, she recalled that in her impression, Lin Xicheng was a stern man who rarely smiled. Catching him smiling like this truly felt like a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.

These tasks looked simple, but for Su Qingqing and the others at the moment, they were impossible to accomplish. They could only wait until the end of the show and hope the production team might provide an opportunity for them to realize it.

Good grief, that wealthy young master's temper was also foul, and the brothel madam was a shrewd one—she couldn't afford to go in and serve as cannon fodder.

"Chu Wei, let me tell you, the debt of gratitude for pulling me out of the sea is something I, Shi Wei, have already paid back. I owe you nothing more!" Shi Wei suddenly burst into laughter, her gaze falling calmly upon Bai Jin.

A moment later, within Guldan's field of vision, in the dark seabed, a dilapidated yet grandiose ruined city came into view. From its scale alone, deeply buried beneath the ocean, one could glimpse its lost former glory. Amidst that terrifying darkness, thousands of snake-like shadows darted back and forth across the ruins.

"What are you talking about?" The man rubbed his eyes, his expression grief-stricken to the point that he had completely failed to hear what was said.

Yang Meng was rather startled upon hearing this. What was the situation? What kind of trouble had arisen? Why were they even going to use Longma and the others?

Kaneki suddenly closed his eyes. The moment he opened them again, he had already rushed before Amon, and their weapons clashed once more.

"Help me, great hero!" Huang Hui did not overthink things the way Sun Ru did. Seeing that the newcomer possessed an extraordinary bearing and a sword hanging at his waist, she cried out for help. Though she had no idea whether they could actually defeat this lecherous scoundrel, at that moment she had no choice but to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive.

By the time the New Year Dharma assembly concluded, the sun was already slanting toward the west. Li San-Niang, along with the sisters Qiaozhu and Fengyuan, hastily partook of some vegetarian food, and then, leading several bodyguards on horseback with reins in hand, they clattered down the mountain, hurrying toward Yanzhou City in the west.

With that, the short man raised his index finger and thrust it directly toward the corner of his eye. With a soft squelch, a stream of blood gushed down his cheek; then his head tilted to the side, and he breathed his last on the spot.

The smile in Lin Yu's eyes deepened. He could already see that Xu Chen's front was wide open, practically riddled with flaws. In the blink of an eye, he raised his hand to counterattack, sending a cold, gleaming ice arrow laden with lethal force shooting fiercely toward Xu Chen's chest.

After catching up to this fellow, Chu Ming launched a relentless assault, unleashing offensive moves like a continuous, unstoppable torrent.

Precisely because it had fallen into decline, very few vehicles traveled this intersection, which conveniently made it easier for Wang Wei to stage an ambush.

Murtaldi, being quite experienced, introduced the two to a specialty store called 'Le Clos,' which mainly dealt in famous wine estates from major wine regions around the world, along with plenty of older vintages to choose from. The prices of wines from some fourth- and fifth-growth Bordeaux estates were very friendly there.

Eight martial arts grandmasters—if placed out in the outside world, any one of them would be a figure powerful enough to dominate a region and serve as a pillar of the nation in times of crisis.

Following Terasawa Ken'ichi's death, Zhezhi inherited the position of master, changing his name to Zhezun and renaming the orthodox Boxing Sect to the Wushen Jue Palace (Godless Fortress). However, he still failed to kill Quandaoshen and Quanchi, continually deceiving Quanchi instead in an attempt to extract more of Quandaoshen's legacy of boxing techniques.

Come to think of it, this was also the first time Shen Gongao looked directly at his in-law Zhi Gao; previously, he wouldn't even grant him the opportunity to speak.

Regardless of the circumstances, no one liked a fellow who constantly picked fights by making excuses; they preferred watching two children engage in a head-on duel.

The spiritual Qi of heaven and earth endlessly poured into Shen Yi as he clenched his fists. So this was the Qi Refining Realm?

One must know that within Ji Qiu's simulation, relying in the end upon the simultaneous cultivation of three realms, his own accumulated learning, and gathering the momentum of the Yellow Sky unto himself, he had managed to fight half of the world's Daoist true practitioners to a standstill.

Startled by Ji Qiu's strength, Chen Ling and Yang Feng retreated half a step and immediately let out a roar.

Ye Hangui said, "I merely arrived later than my brothers, but the agreed-upon time hasn't arrived yet. Why should I be punished?"

Yet the citizens of the King Zhao City mostly sharpened their blades, determined to tear a chunk of flesh from the enemy even at the very last moment.

Above the First-Line Ridge, thunder rolled and shook the heavens as Shen Yi engaged in a fierce battle with six puppets. The Illusory Void Finger in Shen Yi's hand was immensely tyrannical, every strike radiating terrifying might that shattered sections of the mountain peak.

Sima Qian lowered his head in thought, convinced there was more to the matter than met the eye. Li Ling would never surrender; he must have had a grand plan and a purpose.

Just like that, running all the way without regard for the stares of passersby, he ran right up to the school gates. But looking out at the boundless expanse of the road, his heart suddenly felt lost once more.
