Volume 1, Chapter 64: Compared to Gu Shen, She Was Not Inferior Either

(1/3)

"Do not worry, only half the time has passed; monsters that ordinary players cannot handle will eventually appear." Li Qiuhan scanned the battlefield, yet still found no particularly tricky monsters present.

In Yue Fengqing's eyes, she was simply a fool! Having been deceived by her for so many years, she now believed her with just a single instigative remark.

Aside from mechanics, which still posed a slight challenge, other design-related problems no longer held much difficulty for him.

Though this period had lasted only a little over a month, true affection had genuinely blossomed between Ma Hongji and me. Although he looked handsome and retained his youth, he was, after all, a man in his fifties. He considered matters more comprehensively than I did and took exceptional care of me as his new apprentice.

I helped her over to the sofa, handed her a tissue to wipe the tears from her face, and urged her to rest for a moment.

Valiant Combat: When engaging in a duel with a general whose base martial prowess is higher than one's own, martial prowess increases by 5; when dueling a general with equal base martial prowess, martial prowess increases by 4; when dueling a general with lower base martial prowess, martial prowess increases by 3.

"Lord Skymap, this subordinate is willing to accept punishment; I only hope you will spare my life," Steward Su pleaded.

It was not as though Jun Jiuxiang had never laid eyes on a handsome man; her former fiancé, Yue Fengmian, was one of the top ten handsome men in the Eastern Continent, second only to the foremost beauty, Feng Junlin.

Ma Kui shook his head with a sigh and was about to resume his journey to the gathering when a sudden burst of loud shouting carried over through the dense crowd.

The pharmacy lay in the same direction as the courtyard where Yue Fengmian resided, meaning one had to pass his courtyard to reach it.

"Understood!" Entrusted with the heavy responsibility of continuing to instruct the other clansmen, Claude readily agreed.

Just as he was about to act, one of Qingpi's subordinates hurried over from that direction. Seeing them deep in conversation, the man exchanged a meaningful glance with Tongji. Uncomprehending yet sensing urgency, Tongji followed him aside. Pretending to tie his shoelace, Qingpi's subordinate discreetly dropped a crumpled paper ball before hurrying away.

He had not expected that the special regulation, originally enacted to safeguard his governing status among the regency council, would be utilized by the Earl of Warwick to strip him of his office.

Yet his mouth remained filled with polite pleasantries as he poured tea and offered cigarettes. Yanhong found it rather strange, having rarely seen him act so deferentially toward anyone—aside from township officials, of course. What surprised Yanhong most was his insistence on sharing a couple of drinks with Deshun.

Figures with fierce, bizarre, or disfigured appearances wandered casually about the ship, laughing and joking; even while working, they behaved with reckless abandon, frequently causing Young Master Lin to worry whether they might collide with a meteor.

When they arrived at the plaza in front of the Tribute Examination Hall, it was already a sea of people. Presumably, all the examinees had arrived. After all, passing the provincial-level examination to become a Xiucai meant crossing the threshold into the scholar-official class, escaping the bottom-tier life of laborers, farmers, and merchants, and gaining eligibility to take the higher-level provincial examinations for the chance to attain the title of Juren.

"Me." Kuo felt deeply depressed. In truth, Xu Huinan's words just now hit the mark—this trouble had indeed been brought upon himself by his own actions.

After finishing lunch, just as Ye Qiu was about to ask Liu Lingxiu when she planned to head home, he received a call from his counselor, Song Ying, stating that there was a class meeting in the afternoon and the winter break would only begin afterward.

"Your Majesty! I still believe we should increase the naval budget!" The moment his professional field was mentioned, James grew spirited.

Yet the moment she touched the barrier, she realized she was trapped here. The barrier resembled a thin, invisible membrane that only revealed itself when reached out and touched.

Outside the village lay a vast, white expanse of ice plains, with the Closing Bead being the sole guide for direction. While the village did possess one, it was communal property and could not possibly be given to A Ke.

Though Immortals were few, when all the powers of the continent were combined, a considerable number existed, with the Central Empire alone boasting eight.

Hua Qingcheng froze for a moment, having forgotten the exact gathering time. In reality, no one ever strictly adhered to the scheduled time; those who arrived early would urge the latecomers, and they would enter the dungeon as soon as everyone was assembled.

Six figures in black robes collapsed onto the ground, their complexions exceptionally pale as bright crimson blood pooled across the floor.

Yu Shaojun murmured thoughtfully and smiled, the waves of anxious gazes making his heart feel warm.

"No wonder he's so arrogant; it turns out he actually has some skills!" Kong Yao's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. Due to the different choices in cultivation techniques, the disciples of the Kong family generally practiced somewhat bulky stances, which meant the frontline tier was usually dominated by people from their family.

Princess Pingting was instantly terrified by the scene, feeling only the chilling edge of the sword pressed against her neck.

Cai Xingyi's projection was that as long as they secured half of the projects, withdrawing that much working capital would not impact the stock market.

Many people even suffered mental breakdowns after emerging from this place. Countless numbers were reduced to fools or madmen.

Xu Qiaoxia glared at her resentfully, wondering how she expected to go on stage without a makeup artist. This was Director Li's production; no matter how stunning someone was, absolutely no one dared to appear bare-faced.

"The South China Sea connects to the ocean, and there are many precious fish species on the seabed, such as spotted flounder, single-eyed fish, single-eyed swordfish, three-eyed fish, eight-clawed cuttlefish, nine-cornered starfish, and so on. As long as you have the appropriate fishing gear, you can catch them all," Lin Jie explained patiently.

Only after the elite heavy swordsmen arrived, cleared away the boulders at the city gate, and charged out to destroy the majority of the catapults did this battle finally come to an end.

Lin Jie still felt deeply grateful to Fang Cailing, as she had indeed helped him considerably. Whether it was the sale of his catches or securing a steady supply of goods for the restaurant, it was all thanks to Fang Cailing.

That was the frantic residue left behind by their burning passion just moments before, and his eagerly longing heart grew impatient.

Zheng Shanguo once again found himself at an impasse, and he had a lingering sensation that his whereabouts might have been exposed long ago, instilling in him a deep sense of frustration.

Both of them smiled. Rivals on the field, they were friends off it—a dynamic common in many sports, much like South Korea's Kim Yuna and Japan's Mao Asada in later years.

Cui Tailong felt his heart skip a beat. Since Kim Dong-sung had started distancing himself before the race, it was best not to speak too definitively, lest he become the target of internet cyberbullying after the event.

The pillar of fire spewed from the bird's maw nearly knocked the floating city crashing down. Fortunately, the floating city also boasted formidable experts; a Lord stepped forth and engaged the giant bird in a protracted battle.

Was this silver tablet not the Lucky Slate? How could it suddenly fly up and speak on its own now, and seemingly know more than he did? What Shadow World was it referring to? Did it mean the Shadow Realm?

"Why are you living in a villa? You still haven't changed your old habits, have you?" I laughed in spite of myself, finding it too much to bear, and set about helping her tidy up.
