Volume 1, Chapter 64: Are You Claiming Credit?

"Why tell me?"
Chu Hanliang was suspicious of Qu Pan's sudden candor.
Qu Pan gave a bitter smile, "They are on your turf. If I want to investigate thoroughly, who else would I tell if not you?"
Chu Hanliang pondered. He always felt there was something bizarre about this matter.
As if anticipating Chu Hanliang's reaction, Qu Pan did not show dissatisfaction at his hesitation, her expression remaining calm.
Seeing the hand gesture made by Zhao Yue, Lu Dashan wore a solemn expression and motioned for Zhao Yue to hide. Realizing that he had done all he could and that whether he survived depended entirely on his own fate, Zhao Yue ducked and hid beneath the desk as well.
Hua Tuo's technique was truly unique. After just a few needles, Liu Yu felt refreshed and thoroughly relaxed. It seemed that countless essences of this acupuncture art had been lost by the time it was passed down to later generations. Under Hua Tuo's instruction, he relaxed his mind and soon drifted off to sleep.
The rapid change in Roben's attitude left Su somewhat startled. While they were speaking, Roben had already turned around, preparing to leave.
With a bitter smile, Roben thought to himself that since he didn't even know what this object was, he naturally had no idea whether Su would like it or not.
"There is also the difficulty of preventing fraud. The provinces must receive the electoral rolls and ballots before they can hold elections, and after the mutual elections, they must wait for the ballots from all provinces to be compiled at the Central Society before the list of members can be finalized. Throughout this process, there are countless opportunities for manipulation that are impossible to guard against."
Su appeared very sorrowful, obviously worried about the mortal crisis facing her own kin.
"Fine. Even if Chen Changsheng didn't say anything, the Giant Turtle wouldn't let just anyone set foot on the island as they please, so it readily agreed."
"This..." Chen San-gou looked at Chen Changsheng with trembling fear, his mouth opening, but the words swallowed back before they could escape his lips.
"What? Unwilling?" Su Su raised her delicate eyebrows and said coldly, "That shows your previous words lacked any sincerity. Then obediently accept your death." As she spoke, she pinched her fingers together, making a gesture to strike.
With the time nearing noon, Sun Yuanqi feared they might go hungry and had his servants bring over some pastries. Absorbed in his reading, he found himself captivated by a chemistry journal.

As it fled, it scattered ten thousand crimson-red fiery feathers, each resembling a feathered arrow, attempting to block Ouyang Yan's path.
After hitting the ground, Fuyan fell onto his hands and knees and began to vomit. Unlike Qian Jiangyue, he lacked a sliding buffer; for him, it was equivalent to riding a roller coaster without any safety restraints.
"Sister, brother-in-law, I hope I'm not interrupting you?" Caught off guard, Xuan Bingbing could neither advance nor retreat, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She had come! They had come! That wondrous, horrifying sensation of being haunted by a malevolent spirit—there could be no mistake, it had to be them.
At noon, he had received the order from Prince Li Liangdu to prepare to lead troops southward to cooperate with the main army in the Yin-Xia campaign. Yet, a mere six hours later, Yeli Yueyan was already leading his troops in a dash toward the city of Xiazhou, the closest stronghold to Yinsha City.
"Laws? Wasn't what I cultivated before precisely the laws? Why do you say I haven't chosen my own cultivation laws yet?" Upon hearing the words of the Devouring Heaven Emperor Beast, Shentian was immediately filled with confusion.
"I must go back and save them!" Rattlesnake's expression was grave. Having confirmed his route, he charged straight ahead, heading in the direction where Hawkeye was located.
"Get lost!" Zhou Xingyun delivered a very dashing spinning kick, landing a heavy blow on Hollier.
"No need!" Qinanyan answered very crisply. A good product needs neither a spokesperson nor any special design.
A cunning glint flashed across Wei Wushe's eyes. He thought for a moment: just as Yang Gu had said earlier, the Netherworld Valley's greatest specialty was corpse-refining sorcery. Having encountered individuals as formidable as Li Huai and Wuming, how could they possibly let them go?
With that, Horse-face stood up and walked over to another table. Many people greeted him, showing that he was a frequent visitor here and possessed considerable strength.
Lu Yao was driven back several steps by a punch from Tong Tiexin. Before he could fully recover, Tong Tiexin launched another strike.
Another cherry was popped into her mouth, and she couldn't help but feel touched by his considerate and heartwarming gesture.
"Attack together! The rewards afterward will not fall short for any of you!" At this moment, the man roared furiously, trying to spur the surrounding people into action.
Ordinarily, despite Xiao Chengming's booming voice, when it came down to it, the old lady always had the final say on everything in this household.

Want to retreat? How could it be that easy? Xiao Shi and Tang Ning exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other. Tang Ning deliberately exposed a flaw.
Not long after Sun Wei killed her, she went to seek revenge on Sun Wei and her son, but she ignored Sun Wei, lacking the power of magic.
Now, though there was still no movement in their bellies, they were going to be conferred the rank of imperial concubine by the Emperor. This was truly smoke rising from their ancestors' graves.
Yang Liusu slowly approached Ji Tianya, who suddenly caught a whiff of an arrogant yet indescribable fragrance.
"What about us? All your work was done with our help, you know." The other four blood elves chimed in teasingly.
Ji Ziliang was completely oblivious to the fact that Ji Xuan's emotions were on the verge of erupting, continuing to sigh in this manner.
After entering the room mentioned by the game, Lin舒 discovered that aside from the flashing mission-receiving screen on the wall, the room was essentially empty.
Madam Qi never expected that when she went to weep and pour out her grievances before the old lady, she would end up with only such a result. It was a complete shock to her. What was hateful was that after all these years, the old lady still stubbornly insisted on protecting Qi Zhan.
Jian Li, standing nearby, wanted to leave. Feeling Yin Yujia approach behind him, he cast a puzzled glance at her.
Inside were a large number of vacant nutritional cultivation pods. In the pod located at the very innermost part, behind the glass cover, a semi-transparent insect with bared fangs and sharp claws kept crashing against the chamber walls, trying to break out.
Adenos did not know how long he had slumbered for, nor how many wandering souls he had guided across the River Styx in this manner. At this moment, in a fraction of a second, he recalled all his memories—his past lives, his lives before that, his teacher Paul, and Edward.
Whether it was truly Lu Zhiyu's actions that made it sense goodwill, or if its chaotic will had simply plunged into madness on its own, the mental resistance of the cells vanished.
