Chapter 60: Superman's Shock, Superman's Reflection
"You're still a bit too naive trying to trick me!" Meng Qiong brandished the thin human-skin mask in her hand, her face beaming with schadenfreude as she felt immensely smug about her own supreme cleverness.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that a hundred years from now, when Zixi would long be gone, she would still be endlessly drifting through time.
Indeed, an emperor's word is final, and imperial decrees cannot be altered overnight. However, before becoming an emperor, he was first a father. A parent's love for their child runs deep, planning far into the future. No matter how many measures the emperor had previously taken, or how harsh his words had been, it could not change the fact that Song Qingru was his son.
"Really, son, do you agree to get married?" Hearing that he agreed to marry, Miao Linlin's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.
The two exchanged glances, seeming to reach some kind of mutual understanding. Although it was only their second meeting, they acted like old, familiar friends.
Seeing this scene, Qian Dongyu was utterly startled, involuntarily pulling his body backward as the sound of his racing heartbeat echoed straight into his ears.
Thinking of his conversation with the Prince today, recalling how the children had almost fallen victim to a secret plot not long ago, and feeling the softness cradled in his arms, his resolve to walk this path grew even firmer.
Although he had now taken over the Gu Corporation, everything belonging to the Qin family was also his. Moreover, many things had not gone smoothly since he took charge of the Gu Corporation, and he even discovered numerous severe internal problems within the firm that he had no way of resolving.
Even though the Crown Princess probably didn't mean what she said, the eldest brother shouldn't have intentionally provoked her. Besides, it was only natural for the eldest branch to provide for the elders, especially since everything they currently possessed had been granted by the grandmother.
In a flash of thought, a surge of wild excitement flickered in the depths of Mo Hen's gaze as he locked onto the plump, frail prey before him with a condescending and unyielding stare.
Later on, as Tie Dan grew older year by year without his marriage prospects ever settling, Zhang Dawei developed the idea of an exchange marriage. However, an exchange marriage required the other party to be reasonably presentable and from a decent family background, so after picking and choosing back and forth, it remained unresolved to this day.
Daoist Changqing let out a low shout, and an invisible force suddenly erupted. A full nine green chains materialized out of thin air, resembling a pack of dragons as they encircled Ye Chen, binding him tightly in place.
Furthermore, those pursuing him were all iron-blooded warriors of the Divine Wind Empire. After days of bitter combat, the Overlord Emperor was beginning to wear thin.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hao still couldn't determine what kind of jade this was, so he decided to turn on the computer to check. Soon, Zhang Hao opened the laptop, holding the jade pendant in one hand while scrolling with the other, typing the characters "golden-yellow jade" into the search bar. After waiting for a moment, he failed to find the content he was looking for.
Yet... she had remained obscure in the palace for so many years; Consort Xian might not even remember her. Even if she did remember, why would she suddenly think of her?
As long as the two Divine Kings and the two Demon Lords agreed, all the other gods and demons would comply. If they refused, everything would be in vain.
These were the fundamental basis for him launching an aggressive war. What would the complete disappearance of these mean? It meant his plans would be postponed indefinitely. Moreover, even the deep-pockets Sun Moon Empire could barely withstand such a loss.
However, you shouldn't manipulate me. Who can control me? Who dares to control me? That's right, for now I am merely a character on a stage, and even this train of thought is merely the rendering of visual elements. But when I smash the stage to pieces and tear the characters apart, nothing more will be rendered.
Although Ye Chen did not want to discuss these matters with Su Xiyue, in the current situation, he had no other choice.
"It's not arrogance, it's wild insolence, but what can you do to me?" Wu Yang met Xu Changqing's gaze directly, completely disregarding him.
He sat in a leather sofa nearby, lit a cigarette, and while blowing out rings of smoke, stared fixedly at Li Xiaoyun on the bed.
"Xiaoyun, I want to be with you tonight. May I?" Fang Jinghao's ink-jade-like eyes shimmered with a unique, captivating brilliance.
Shen Ye said that the Century Hotel's catering department happened to be hiring waitstaff, and told her to bring her resume for an interview tomorrow.
Over there, Ding Yilin found that before she could even draw blood with her first move, Yin Yi completely disrupted the situation with her bizarre tactics, leaving everything entirely out of her control.
This restaurant was not particularly large, and with quite a few villagers already inside, the people brought by Mu Dongqiang looked to be fewer than a hundred individuals. Yet, just these hundred people were enough to alter the thoughts of everyone present.
That bone-chilling, cold gaze pierced into Zhang Xueru's manager's heart like a sharp, freezing scalpel. In an instant, he felt his pounding heart freeze completely, the icy frost spreading through his limbs in a flash of lightning, causing even his pores to exhale a terrified chill.
Li Zhi tossed the ledger to Kou Zhong and casually asked, "Haven't you noticed what's different about these five thousand sets of supplies?"
"Then does anyone here know who these White Lotus Cult bandits actually are?" Zhong Nan asked again.
Just as he was about to speak with his friend, he turned his head and saw that wealthy young wastrel holding fine champagne and aggressively currying favor with Yin Yi.
Guo Shu sat for a moment, glanced at the top of Jiang Guangguang's head, and pulled out a cigarette to light it.
Previously, Ye Chen had always thought Bai Huanzhi was soft-hearted and easy to bully, never imagining she was capable of such a deed.
