Countdown to the Signing of Bill 44

In the final five minutes, Whiteside displayed only what Snyder had already known.

I know there are many spirits that do not reincarnate; when I sense my own spirit, I also feel theirs and can communicate with them. They told me that my spirit itself is not yet strong enough to independently acquire power or separate from the collective spirits—I need to continue exploring.

The boos from the home crowd often cut deeper than those from the away fans; players suddenly fall into a daze, questioning, “What am I really fighting for?”

Chen Youyi bit her lip, recalling past events with regret—wishing she had acted sooner. Had she done so, those around her would not have suffered so many grievances.

By the way, the afternoon was also a peak time for the outbursts of Old Master 682. Although he already had a temper as fierce as a tiger in heat, in the afternoons he usually submerged himself in the sulfuric acid pool prepared by the Foundation, occasionally letting out a few bubbles, and was relatively docile.

Over there... isn’t that the direction of Mingsha Mountain? Could he be trying to send a message to the Bai Caotang people to come capture me?

In the vast metallic hall, Eddie’s eyes fixed on a pitch-black, twisted columnar object flickering with multicolored lights, extending all the way to the ceiling of this empty hall. Like some kind of plant, black lines covered the top of the hall and the ground as well—this was the core of Prometheus.

Honestly, the reason I so strongly rejected the school was largely tied to old memories—in the language of adolescent angst, it was as if my “soul remained shackled.”

It seemed Liu Wancheng’s worries were justified. Her mother, who lacked a filter, had indeed let Xu Jie extract some information; otherwise, Xu Jie wouldn’t have come looking for her.

If the wall had been repaired, there would definitely be fresh marks, but this wall was completely intact, as if it had never been broken.

Lu Feihan was caught off guard by the straightforward blow, frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.

She immediately screamed in terror and dropped down, both arms raised to shield her face, perfectly covering her mouth.

Upon hearing this, An Jiang’s heart nearly leapt out of his throat, his face flushed with excitement.

So this year, he could sell off a few thousand or even ten thousand bitcoins to free up some cash to spend—after all, he owned over four hundred thousand.

Outside the city, temporary shelters had been erected, and the refugees who had fled in disaster queued orderly in front of the medical clinic.

Why did it have to be Qizhou? Right under An Jiang’s nose, they caused such a fuss and got caught red-handed?

When the two first met, Song Ningyan had shown some courtesy to Feng Lai, but later, Feng Lai would boast incessantly about the prosperity of Dizhou, belittling other states as worthless. His arrogance bred contempt.

To seat everyone, they crowded many people around one pot. Those without stools squatted, holding their bowls.

“Uh…” Morning Star was momentarily at a loss for words. He had never expected her to feel grateful—he saved her simply because he wanted to, with no ulterior motive. Now that she bluntly pointed this out, it made him seem scheming.

“You’d better stop talking about him. His ears are so sharp he can hear even an ant crawling,” warned the male witch Leito beside Bailinge.

“Xiao Yao, this is a café—why are you ordering purple rice taro balls?” She propped her chin with one hand, eyeing him with interest. She had just been about to say she didn’t drink coffee, but before she could, he already knew what she wanted. Truly, he understood her best.

Kemu weakly twitched the corner of his mouth, then turned around to hide his face so they wouldn’t catch him smiling. If Fatty and Mu Xichen saw Kemu’s smile, it would surely warm and melt their hearts.

When Lu Ziqi tried to come again, ‘Spring’ Grass gave him a rude kick, and if he kept making a fuss, the child would surely be woken.

After a burst of divine music, the Black-Clad Poison Emperor appeared before Shi Quan again, no longer so carefree and composed. His spirit had two large holes pierced through it, his left arm was gone, and blood—so-called—trickled from the corner of his mouth.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, a necessary ritual both in reality and virtual worlds. Shi Quan, of course, was no exception.

They didn’t know how long they had been entwined before stopping. Li Xiaoshang blushed deeply, a fragrant sweat on her brow, curled up in Shi Quan’s embrace.

Morning Star staggered to her side, took her bleeding hand, and transmitted warm magic from himself into her body. The bleeding gradually stopped, but the pain remained unchanged. The furrow between his brows deepened.

At night, Lu Jishi personally administered medicine to Yue Wuchang. Xi’er, seeing Uncle Lu unbuttoning Master’s clothes, was about to step out to avoid the scene but was called back by Lu Jishi.

“Success?” The newcomer, clad in armor as a guard, was General Leo in disguise.

There, he intended to recuperate, to heal his wounds, and then face Lv Shi in battle once more.

Zhao Dahai divided his courier team, assigning one person with an elder from the village to supervise in shifts. People queued according to the distance of their homes from the shore; those farther away watered their fields first, working family by family. He himself patrolled the fields carrying a flower gun, maintaining order with great seriousness.
