Ai Yonggui had once claimed that Ai Qiaohua’s marriage would be a life of luxury, but what was the outcome?
He found that the shadows ahead seemed to be drifting further and further away. The stench of blood still lingered, yet after walking for a long time, he still found no trace of anything.
Ding Jie was caught off guard by Mu Zhijun’s sudden appearance. She could only instinctively retreat two steps, her face turning pale instantly.
A pungent, bloody stench filled the entire room, causing my stomach to churn. "Ugh..." I reached out to cover my mouth.
Zhao Wen had called her several times to deal with the Ding Jie situation, but she had suppressed all of them. It wasn't out of personal vendetta; she simply didn't want to burn bridges with Ding Jie so early, even if, from Ding Jie's perspective, they had already done so long ago.
Silence reigned. I didn't speak, keeping my eyes fixed on He Zhixu as he spoke, noting that his lips hadn't moved at all.
Taro Takeuchi, among the first batch to be captured, was currently working in a mine on the outskirts of Qingzhou. They were primarily extracting copper ore. For the sake of efficiency, it was not an open-pit mine like the one in Dali Panzhihua, but was instead conducted deep within the mine shafts.
Zhi Yaowei remained silent, his face grim as he watched Fu Shijin pull Lin Jiajia to sit beside him.
Listening to the fading footsteps behind him, Ye Lishang finished the last of his soup and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth.
After all, we killed Hou Yang in this secret realm. While dying in such a place is normal, Chun Yangzi is a member of the Wudang Sect. If he goes out and spreads rumors, or sends word to Wudang, who do you think they will believe? This is a method of self-preservation.
It was clear that Wang Zheng had trained; the muscles on his arms were well-defined, giving him the look of a bodybuilder.
He had to investigate Zi’s past thoroughly; at the very least, he needed to know how her family had "all perished."
After a brief pause, the four red crescent moons were shattered. Immediately following, Han Chen unleashed several fierce sword shadows in rapid succession to block the opponent’s assault.
The temperature between heaven and earth seemed to drop to freezing, causing countless geniuses to shiver involuntarily.

Lin Feng did not hesitate in the slightest. As Sun Zheng and Zhang Shu raised their glasses, he picked up the strong liquor before him and downed it in two gulps, his movements fluid and uninterrupted.
In the blink of an eye, the ingredients were sautéed to fragrance, and the oil turned a vivid, deep red.
Aunt Nine saw Ling Long fainted on the ground ahead and rushed over. After a quick examination, she realized Ling Long’s life was not in danger, and the heart that had been pounding in her chest finally settled.
After flipping the fish over, Li Gengxin also used his knife to debone the area where the fishbone connected to the meat.
Are you actually the legendary Scorpion Emperor? Shouldn't the Scorpion Emperor look like a scorpion, extremely hideous? What the hell, has this guy time-traveled or something?
Before Li Gengxin could speak, Yang Hongli, who had approached Li Gengxin and Li Genshuo from behind at some point, whispered softly.
Not long after, Li Tuobei arrived with Kou Rou and the others. The two exchanged a smile, and Li Tuobei chose a seat at the table next to Zhu Youning, sitting with his back to her.
By noon, the family of three had enjoyed a hearty meal at a wonton noodle stall in the market and headed to the government office in the afternoon.
She hoped Ryan would live many more years to keep her company; if his health collapsed, she feared her own days would become unbearable.
"In that case, old man, I shall take my leave. I will await your news in three days!" Seeing the old man agree, Liu Xu politely bid farewell.
Xu Ning hoisted the severed head by its topknot with his hooked spear, leaped onto his horse, and galloped toward the battlefield where the government troops and his own infantry were locked in combat.
The surrounding ground shook as if an earthquake had struck, throwing rubble half a meter into the air. Curiously, Amu’s impact failed to trigger the castle’s defensive mechanisms.
Colin was speechless. If it were an ordinary Sovereign, or even a Law Overlord, he might have just quietly taken care of them, but the Life Sovereign?
Colin forced a bitter smile. If he hadn't been in the wrong first, would he be speaking like this? But he had miscalculated; nobles had their own codes of conduct, and ordinary people had their own ways of life. His behavior must have seemed truly affected to this man.

There was no need for Interpreter Jiang to translate this number. Although Cheng Hui’s English wasn't great, she could understand a simple quote like this.
If they had maintained the same reserved demeanor as in ordinary society, they would likely have gone extinct long ago, let alone saved their progenitor dragon, Aura.
Yet, the entirety of the cause stemmed from the experiences of her youth—the hardships she had endured and the suffering she had borne.
"The two most important words: Sincerity!" After I finished speaking, I looked at the group. Whether it was Xiang Yuanzheng or Zhang Delun and the others, no one spoke; they simply listened to me.
However, just as Xiao Ran was about to close the door, I slipped inside, shut the door behind me, and pinned Xiao Ran against it.
Guo Ming didn't dare to ask further, as this was a taboo topic. What he had said earlier was the truth; every month, he was terrified when responsible for shipping that batch of goods for Huang Shihui, because the volume of shipments kept increasing.
"Everyone, please remain calm." Ye Qingtang’s voice rang out again. At the very front where she stood, a halo of light slowly emerged, noticeably more dazzling than the magical artifacts in the hands of the others.
"A high-end replica bought online, 380. Do you want one? I'll buy you one!" I said with a smile. In reality, the bag was authentic, bought for me by Xia Tianqing when we were on a business trip in Kyoto. She said I couldn't lose face for the company.
"Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Thunder’s Roar, Om Mani Padme Hum!" Following this, Jian Ning manifested another spell. Lightning flashed, striking directly at the ninja.
"Why are you only here now? I’ve already pooped out my dinner," Zhong Lili complained to Shi Wen, seeing it had taken me so long to arrive.
