Volume 1, Chapter 35: Still Unmarried? Excellent!
Qu Pan returned to Furi Lane and encountered Qu Lan, who had been waiting for a long time at the entrance.
Qu Lan was holding the hand of a young boy about the same age as Chu Xiaoman, with a man and a woman standing behind her. Upon seeing Qu Pan’s car, they stepped forward to block its path.
"Miss, do you need me to drive them away?" Li Cong asked, looking back at Qu Pan.
"No need, let them in."
Following Qu Pan’s instruction, Li Cong lowered the car window and waved at Uncle Sun, the gatekeeper.
Uncle Sun opened the gates, allowing Qu Lan and her group of four to enter, and Li Cong drove in behind them.
Having endured a long and dusty journey, Qu Pan returned to her room, freshened up, and changed into casual attire before heading to the side parlor.
Noticing the child with Qu Lan, the servant served tea and then thoughtfully brought out some snacks suitable for a young child.
"Don't worry, Elder Gu. I will begin the restoration as soon as the Chunliu Fair is over," Xiao Zining said firmly.
Although a hundred bucks for a single poem was clearly a rip-off, the phenomenon was so astonishing that they didn't seem to mind being fleeced.
"Was the method for extracting spirit artifacts also lost during the migration a hundred years ago?" Liu Zhi asked again.
So, I was still too young and naive, truly believing the Brain Hole App had a sudden change of heart and given me a chance to turn over a new leaf. Little did I expect that after being a human for only a short while, I’d be turning into a zombie again, damn it.
The deerstalker hat she wore was a common prop borrowed from the drama club. Due to some inexplicable persistence, Matsumura almost always wore this hat whenever the topic of romance came up.
As for the creature before her, although she didn't know what it was, she was certain it was definitely not human.
"Alright, hurry up and get started." Meng Nan tapped it again, thinking to himself that this creature was quite a handful; he hadn't realized that before.
Nishino, who had been looking dissatisfied just a moment ago, burst into laughter after seeing the dice Hashimoto threw. It was a rare, bright smile, an expression not at all characteristic of her. The tall Nishino revealed a gentle look that made her appear even younger than her actual age.
It was precisely this calm demeanor that made Liu Liu, who was familiar with Uncle Li’s personality, feel a sudden tremor in his heart. He knew full well that if he dared to say another word, he might end up on Uncle Li’s blacklist, a consequence he could not afford.
In this day and age, even in Handu, mobile phones were a rarity. The price of over twenty thousand per unit, plus hundreds in monthly call fees, was enough to make anyone think twice; even Sha Zhengyang found the phone a headache.
Ning Hao nodded and patted his shoulder as a gesture of comfort. Anyone could see that this was likely his most prized possession.
A cold, ghostly voice echoed all around, the majesty of the Madman Wuxiang, his supreme cultivation, and his heaven-defying methods shocking everyone present.
For Old Man Li to have such influence, being a minister in the capital capable of leading departments that held the lifeline of the nation—it was hard to fathom.
The maids of the City Lord's Mansion brought out wine and refreshments, welcoming the guests to eat and drink to their fill. The crowd grew rowdy, one after another offering blessings for City Lord Xia Wushuang to live as long as heaven and earth, and to shine as brightly as the sun and moon.
"Hmph, quite a strong sense of legal awareness, aren't you? Publicly going against the Municipal Bureau—I wonder who gave you such courage! Today, I’ll tell you clearly: you’re finished this time, and no one can save you!" Xia Fan retracted his gun and, unnoticed by anyone, inserted a needle into the back of his head.
Xia Mengyin quickly got up from He Yue, called him a hooligan, and hurried out of the bedroom.
Jing Chuan nodded. After seeing off Branch Chief Fan, he spoke briefly with Qingcheng. She had no objections; she would listen to whatever Jing Chuan decided, as long as she could be with him.
Afterward, Xia Tian and Ren Zhihong discussed some matters regarding the gang. They ate lunch at Ren Zhihong’s house.
This is too weak. How could she possibly protect the Snake People tribe? And isn't she human in appearance? How did she become the leader of the snake tribe?
He Yue walked out of the office. He had to meet Chen Meihong today and couldn't be late. Chen Meihong was currently six months pregnant, and he couldn't let their child suffer.
"Xiao... He." Aside from his amiable smile, Xiao He was inconspicuous wherever he went. There was a reason why Yong Chi remembered him.
However, even so, possessing a Level 5 cosmic mecha was enough for Wu Huateng to protect his sphere of influence for a long time to come.
Adding the 15 points from the Ziwei Star watch, his current score reached 41—halfway there.
Fairy Yuntang didn't recognize Doubao, but she had seen Hu Shou, and he was no stranger to her. Two years prior, when Fairy Yuntang accompanied Yang Yi to Bingzhou, Hu Shou had been by Yang Yi’s side as a guard.
Li Wei shook his head after seeing these reports. As a peerless master coach, how could Phil Jackson be incapable of adapting?
Vegetative spirits, even when they become monsters, are mostly mild-tempered. Furthermore, it is extremely difficult for such beings to cultivate, so Ji Liao naturally felt some sympathy and offered help within his capability.
Therefore, there were some die-hard anti-Chinese factions in Feiguo. Although they were few in number, they were spread across all levels of society. Since they couldn't be made to disappear, they could only have other Feiguo people come forward to constantly work on them.
Can the information on this be trusted? It was clearly false intelligence intentionally released by the other party to make investigators like you careless. If you actually believed it, you'd be a fool—a complete idiot.
"Meng Tian has already used cavalry to charge the artillery formation; Wang Jian will surely do the same," Xiong Jing said. Both the Operations Department and the shogunate believed the Qin army would adopt this strategy again, and they had no way to counter it. In the Battle of the Sha River, the Qin army's five thousand cavalrymen had charged the artillery formation; while their casualties were indeed heavy, they achieved the effect Meng Tian desired.
"David, the fact that you can say that shows you have truly participated in a lot of coaching work. Perhaps in the future, you really can become a legendary coach," Phil Jackson said.
It seemed the architecture of the roaming rules of the cyber world still exceeded his imagination; he had thought of it too simply in the past.
"What is going on with you two? You’ve been interrogating them for so long without any results," a very abrupt voice came from outside the door.
