Volume One, Chapter 50: Ayan, Please Stay Alive…
The crimson lips, scented faintly with the fragrance of rouge, were about to press against his own. It was an urge he could not resist.
A primal sense of danger flickered within him; his unfocused gaze quickly locked onto the space behind the person before him.
There, fluttering inconspicuously, were two small insects with fiery red wings.
No—it was Zhang Quangui’s trick!
Too late!
Only Tang An’an, the beloved younger sister, could summon Tang Shao repeatedly without provoking his anger.
The giant screen at the Times Shopping Plaza, which had been displaying advertisements, suddenly flickered and turned into a somewhat blurry monitor image.
Then, with a thunderous crash, Hulk’s fist struck Mo Yi instantly, the immense force bearing down directly upon him.

On her first day here, she had thought it beautiful, though her mood then was too troubled to fully appreciate the scenery.
After a satisfying meal, Yu Sang couldn’t help but let out a contented burp, quickly covering her mouth as she glanced around. Fortunately, there were few people nearby; hopefully, no one had heard.
The group returned to the stone formation. The entire structure was now revealed, leaving everyone stunned, their hunger and fatigue forgotten. They noticed that the spot where the fluorite had been placed was actually one of the eight pillars, and upon closer inspection, the alloy’s color was a silver-gray.
With that, she grasped the man’s hand and began to walk away, leaving behind only the words, “Take him away.” The remaining Xie Limo and Lu Qisheng were left to indulge in their affectionate display.
This time, not only Peng Cheng and Liu Ming, but even Liu Shang, who had visited several times before, couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his brow, wearing an expression of discomfort.
He knew full well that Yu Sang had deliberately lost the cat to trick him into searching. That cat was clever, venturing out early and returning late every day, always finding its way home no matter how far it roamed. What reason would she have to suddenly want the cat back today?
Many had recorded Mo Yi’s current condition and the earlier battle with Hulk, and the television stations continuously broadcast news of Mo Yi’s heroic deeds.
Moreover, he later understood that the rift had been caused by Li Ting. Had Li Ting not brought up the matter, such events would never have unfolded. Li Yan did not wish to see brothers turn against each other; if he had refrained from contention, these incidents might never have occurred.
“If no one is allowed in without my permission, can you manage that?” Xie Li raised an eyebrow.
Chen Su frowned slightly. Since entering here, his perception had been greatly diminished. He hadn’t expected that after You Lintian was affected by the dark power, his senses could still be maintained—what kind of power was this exactly?

A million-strong army, after Ying Zheng’s inspection tour, withdrew like receding tides, gathering and encamping thirty miles away to await orders.
Li Si stared at the Left Minister of Works for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and slapped the complacent official across the face.
Although the initial truce with Naruto had come about because of Su Li’s intervention, these past years had truly forged a genuine friendship between the Nine-Tails and Naruto.
Zheng Huailuo greeted them cheerfully as they approached, while Qin Zheng escorted Gu Jiu and the Lin family onto the carriage.
Gu Jiu had not been sleepy at first, but perhaps Qin Zheng’s words held some kind of magic, for she soon rested her head in his arms and fell asleep.
It was not that there were no emotions involved—rather, in the face of love and family, they seemed as light and insignificant as a feather.
Bai Yu stretched lazily, rubbing his eyes, then suddenly caught sight of the man before him dressed in strange attire, causing him some surprise.
The stone was pitch black all over, with characters painted in red lacquer. Amidst the swirling white mist, it gave off a chilling, eerie aura.
