Volume 1, Chapter 30: The Pure Yang Bell, Duke of the East

Yu Danqing nodded. Having not left her residence for two days, she had paid no attention to the matter and felt a bit out of touch. She smiled and said, "Bring me a pot of your finest hot tea," then chose an inconspicuous corner seat.

I chatted with a local idler for a while and basically figured it out. The more I learned, the more convinced I became that this matter was linked to Chu Qiaoqiao. If luck was on my side, she was likely still hiding in this very house.

Yu Danqing nodded, snuggling deeper into his embrace. She opened her eyes just a slit to look at him. "I... I am willing..." As she had said before, she never minded being intimate with him before marriage, and given the extraordinary circumstances, she was even more willing now.

However, after I mastered the inherited knowledge of the Heaven-Born, I realized that this method was not invincible.

Regardless of how high her fever was, Gu Qingnian could not worry about anything else. She grabbed her bag, packed some fever reducers and anti-inflammatory medicine, and rushed over without a second thought.

Gu Qingnian looked at him, the murderous aura around her instantly vanishing. She closed her eyes to hide the despair and grief in their depths.

The person who had previously sworn they would never come to the Hui Mei Garden—why the sudden change of heart, rushing over here of their own accord?

In the past, he would have turned and left without even a glance at her. With their marriage about to be finalized, he was naturally willing! But after the incident with Madam Duanmu, he looked at her now—a woman desperately needing his affirmation to regain her courage.

If you go all out, set aside your pride, and treat them as mere insects, what can’t you overcome? Often, it is purely psychological; if you view someone as unreachable, you will never attempt to reach them.

How many parents, when their children are in school—especially in high school—repeatedly warn them not to date early, only to tell them again in college that they shouldn't date then, either?

The two arrived at the Adventurer's Plaza. It was as bustling as ever, filled with vendors and treasure-hunting adventurers. The clamor of bargaining made it feel vaguely like the farmers' markets of a past life.

Chu Tian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, as if doing so could blow away the faint melancholy clogging his chest.

The last time Li Junxiu had an episode, it seemed to be because she smelled ginger in that bowl of brown sugar water. Xu Yuan hadn't realized it at the time, but she guessed it later.

The machine gun is used for defense because the wing area is large. It is easy to maneuver, which allows for self-defense even if the electrical system fails. If coordinated well with escort fighters, its large payload will deal a heavy blow to the enemy. According to feedback and reports from experienced crew members, teach the enemy a lesson if you must act alone.

The government might believe those rumors, and the common people might too, but based on her knowledge of Liu Feng from her past life, if the Liu family could truly infiltrate the prefect's prison, they wouldn't kill Gu Qin even out of hatred. Liu Feng would definitely abduct Gu Qin to bide her time and take revenge on the Li family.

Mount Penglai was indeed a fine place for sightseeing. Before long, the surrounding scenery captured Yongning's gaze. She tugged gently on Madam Lu's sleeve, whispered a quiet word, and then walked to a secluded corner to focus on the flowers.

To be able to rescue someone while entangled with his twelve most capable death warriors and dodging his sect's ultimate technique—the poison darts of the "Rain of Flowers"—he believed that aside from Li Jun, who had mastered the ninth level of the Nine Yang Skill, there was no one else in the Great Zhou capable of such a feat.

"Lord Carp King is a great figure who has existed since the birth of the Forbidden Sea; he witnessed its very creation. His cultivation is unfathomable. Even Carp Xu, who ranks second, could not withstand a single blow from him." At the mention of Carp Xu, Shaga's voice wavered, his eyes filled with hatred.

After hitting a keyboard button heavily, Mina took her hands off the keyboard, clasped them together, and rested her chin on them in a gesture of prayer.

Gui Li paid no mind to her scorn, instead asking an entirely unrelated question.

Zhang Erhe took the bowl of wontons and ate one. The rich, savory fragrance of the soup left him intoxicated.

"What do you think?" Lu Yu asked instead of answering. In his heart, his thoughts were simple: he wanted to know the true intentions of these two.

Xuan Yuanzhen was in no rush to reach a conclusion. When Jin Sanwan and the others first described the appearance of the old woman, he had asked a few questions, and now he remained silent, lost in thought.

Xuan Suniu felt a wave of emotion. Just look at how reasonable people from a big place like the capital were.

"One, two, three..." Cen Cen actually started counting in a very serious manner. When he reached one hundred, he didn't go looking for anyone, but instead turned and walked to the pavilion by the pond, where he sat down and occasionally teased the koi in the water, as if he hadn't taken the game seriously at all.

In the past, whenever they met, it was mostly confrontation or cold silence; it was rare for them to exchange greetings so proactively.

She had not been provoked like this for a long time. Encountering someone so impervious to reason had completely disrupted her train of thought.

Phyllis looked at Ye Jiaojiao with a smile, ignoring the death threats from Jingjing and Jing Cheng entirely.

Seeing his exceptionally grim expression, Ye Jiaojiao suddenly understood why Shen Nie had pulled her back in to kiss her just after letting her go.

Scattered on the surface were various items: a chipped rice bowl filled with mixed beans, some spirit money burned for the dead, several peach tree branches, an old chopstick, two eggs, and a spool of red thread pierced with embroidery needles.

Su Quan was truly unhappy. After mobilizing such a large force to join hands with the Jiuhua Sect to kill Su Yang in North America, not only did they fail to kill him, but experts like Cang Yun of the Jiuhua Sect were injured by Su Yang, and even Hanshan, the person he trusted most, had been shot and wounded.
