Volume One, Chapter 31: Don’t Use Our Things as Gifts

Furthermore, every magical treasure within this collection made Xiao Rang feel as if a massive mountain were looming before him, to the point that even casting a direct glance at them caused his heart to race with trepidation. It was clear that the artifacts here were immeasurably more powerful than those found outside.

Since they had crossed paths, there was no reason to avoid her. Xie Wu wanted to get a good look at this Song family girl; after all, they could be considered "well-acquainted" in their previous lives.

Source energy differs from one to another. Before Du Yu channeled his own, he forced out the traces of Feng Qiuyu’s energy and the energy of the white-clad elder that had previously been hidden within the ring.

No matter how hard Xie Feng tried to feign composure, his clenched jaw betrayed the panic he was feeling.

Because the Typhoon-class submarines sold by the Far East to Saudi Arabia lacked certain high-precision instruments and systems, and the construction materials used were not of the same caliber as those in the Far East’s own fleet, the production cost was less than half, resulting in a profit margin exceeding fifty percent.

Yu Chi You was amused by Zhong Qing’s timid demeanor. "Qing'er, so you have a side like this? It truly exceeds my expectations." Yu Chi You gave a wicked smile, looking exceptionally beautiful in the flickering candlelight.

Suddenly, the onlookers felt a blur before their eyes as a figure flashed past, vanishing in the blink of an eye. Damn it, in just a single encounter, this person had effortlessly broken through the defensive line of the eight of us?

Many must have sighed that night: Black Fire Innovation is finally dead. By seizing the market void it left behind, many companies were able to survive until the economic recovery.

"Who is it?" Yuan Chaozong’s attitude toward Tenjoin Shino was favorable, not only because of her noble birth but also because her nephew, Tenjoin Kiriyari, served as the captain of the Great Serpent, holding real authority.

"Don't say anything," Mao Le-yan retorted sharply, her emotions seemingly spiraling out of control as her face flushed crimson. "Do not kiss me with lips that have kissed another. Your Majesty, please remember the purpose for which I entered the palace; I truly do not wish to discuss anything else." She minded—she minded deeply—as the physical contact only reminded her of what happened last night.

In the twenty-fifth year of Changtai, when Su Ruhui first met Empress Dowager Jiayi, she found her to be firm and sharp. She was quite affectionate toward Gan Tang, but—she really could not be called beautiful.

Snow covered the ground like plum blossoms blanketing the Western Hills. Mother and the wet nurse, dressed in white, were pressed into the snow by the Li family servants.

These four were none other than the "Heavenly Dragon Profound Flower" masters: Saint Tianyin, Daoist Longmian, Fairy Huashen, and Saint Xuanwu.

The black-on-white demon vanished, and in its place appeared text—a letter, albeit short and very sloppily written.

It had guessed correctly. Finally, a human head emerged from the shell; to be precise, it was not human, for it was filled with the aura of death from the inside out.

As the first round of the freshman tournament progressed, the most intense and spectacular battle on the field was undoubtedly the one between Zhen Yuan and Wan Shengtian.

"Indeed. A total of ten of us are heading to the Death Realm. Firstly, to rescue people, and secondly, to gather clues about the Plane Devourers and see if they have any connection to the Death Realm!" Oba said.

Just then, the mischievous moon hid behind the clouds. The originally bright moonlight suddenly vanished, and the entire orchard was instantly plunged into thick darkness, making even the path on the ground difficult to discern.

"Mind-Reading!" Lu Xuan muttered to himself, but that trace of spiritual energy sat firmly in his Dantian and Purple Mansion, not moving an inch.

"Master President, I am deeply grateful for your kindness!" Zhao Jiahao’s trembling hands slowly placed the Holy Ring onto his finger, after which he bowed respectfully and said.

When Xin Yao made her final attempt to rescue the Emperor, she had clearly exhausted all her strength. Otherwise, she would not have lost control and fallen off the cliff.

Su Xixi stared blankly at Lu Fan, her eyes wide, body frozen as if struck by a paralysis spell.

As the two spoke, Mo Qianqin knelt on the ground, breathing slightly. The flush on her face began to fade, and the intense heat gradually dissipated.

Yet, as Lin Yourong walked away under the gaze of the crowd, her posture and gait remained as noble and elegant as a flawless white swan.

The advantages of QQ were simply too numerous; just look at how popular the QQ red envelope had become!

The smile on Concubine Cui’s face stiffened slightly before returning to normal. She swayed her waist as she stepped forward to greet Madam Jiang, then got straight to the point about A-Fu’s situation.

The two fighter jets turned into fireballs in an instant. Only one of the two pilots managed to eject in time, while the other exploded along with the aircraft.

"Captain Gao Fei, what happened?" Hou Dingkun felt more at ease upon seeing a familiar face, and his smile was very warm.

All the plans left him deeply, deeply shocked, but he felt that things could be even better—yet he...

In a civilian shopping mall, although more people entered the store, very few actually purchased anything, making it impossible to sustain.

Lin Zhiyuan considered himself good to his employees, offering salaries, benefits, and promotion paths far above the local baseline; he never expected his employees to treat his child this way.

Following this trajectory, Qin Kehan would certainly be struck by the cold light before he could reach his target.

"Brother Zheng, please call Brother Li and explain the situation. Ask him to arrest these people and interrogate them properly; we must get results." Li Shanda knew they could not publicly interrogate these individuals.

Therefore, neither Cheng Laogui nor Li Yanxin could defeat Hu Shuangyue in a one-on-one fight; only by joining forces could they stand a chance.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. She said "come in" and pulled her gaze away from the four leaves.

Seeing that Helian Rong had already walked over, Jiamo did not wait any longer; he immediately cupped his hands in a salute and led Helian Rong out.

"Fine, very fine. Just you wait." Seeing that he could not win the argument, Gu Yancheng immediately began to make threats.

After Li Xin finished gathering his equipment and silver, everyone departed the battlefield to set up camp by the water.
