Volume 1, Chapter 55: Who Was Waiting for You?
After biting her lip for a long time, Cuizhu ultimately stopped herself from speaking and instead replaced the cup of Longjing tea beside Mrs. Yu with a warmer one.
She bluntly stated that he was simply more handsome than both Cheng Cheng and Wei Yixi, only asking her by how many points he surpassed them.
Every dish was a home-style preparation, and while their presentation and arrangement appeared completely ordinary, they were bursting with vibrant colors and rich aromas. Just looking at them was enough to instantly stimulate one's appetite.
The White Wizard felt that this fellow wasn't being arrogant at all, but rather fundamentally lacking in wits, leaving him utterly grief-stricken at the thought of dying at the hands of a brainless fool.
Seeing Mo Xiangshan's actions, Gu Yanze offered a bitter smile. He had broken the promise he once made to Mo Xiangshan, which was why Mo Xiangshan no longer trusted him and even harbored resentment toward him.
Given his speed, Nan Li had no way of escaping. He was trapped and firmly reined in here, and no matter how Nan Li charged and dashed left and right, it was completely useless.
Reaching out to lift the lid of the clay pot, a burst of white mist billowed into the air, after which the pot continued to gently emit lingering heat.
"Happy New Year, Eldest Brother-in-law, Happy New Year! Thank you for the red envelope, Eldest Brother-in-law!" Having received their red envelopes, the children became even more enthusiastic and immediately changed their form of address.
After all, once one reached the Supreme Realm, everyone's foundations were quite similar, and if they were to plot against each other, it would be impossible to determine a victor in a short period of time.
Chen Zhe swung the Azure Dragon Sword, continuously thrusting out several streams of golden wind sword Qi toward Fulan. The sharpness of the Azure Dragon Sword was enough to rival the Underworld Tiger Sword, and it could further enhance the Yang Fire Divine Skill, causing the power of the sword Qi to increase exponentially. Fulan's face turned pale with fright, her slender body swaying slightly as countless illusions instantly emerged, dodging the sword Qi entirely.
The annihilation of the clan not only made the supernatural beings feel a sense of shared grief for the fallen, but also united them in a common hatred against the enemy. Regardless of any past grievances or enmities they might have had with members of the clan, at this moment, sadness was what lingered most in their hearts.
After heading south from the Wa State, Su Jia's mood had improved significantly, and she spoke much more frequently. The most crucial thing was that she actually knew when she was hungry. Four days ago, when Su Jia proactively told Fang Shi that she was hungry, Fang Shi was overjoyed and went out overnight to procure ingredients, using a hotel kettle as a hot pot to serve her some rather decent-tasting food.
Yet just when everyone thought that Yexiao was too scared to post any messages, a photograph suddenly flashed across the screen.
Huang Ye hung up the phone and continued to watch the bloody battle two kilometers away. He wore loose-fitting clothing with a mask, and five others around him were dressed in the exact same attire.
The process of spirit crystals releasing a wisp of spiritual energy compared to the process of true Qi releasing its might was akin to solid dry ice expanding into gaseous carbon dioxide—suddenly expanding a thousandfold. Their explosive and potent natures were worlds apart.
The class monitor stared at Fang Shi for a long time before suddenly bursting into tears and running to the head teacher's office. The head teacher roared all the way from the office to the classroom, pointed at Fang Shi and cursed for ten full minutes, and then demanded that Fang Shi have his parents come to school.
Bai Xue'er hastily said, "Yes, yes, My Lord, I beg you to go and rescue them." She had managed to escape the control of the Qingyang Sect herself, but the price she paid was excruciatingly painful, and she hoped that other villages could also be saved.
Meanwhile, several paper dolls with deathly pale faces nearby pounced fiercely on Fang Zheng at close range.
Waiting until the carp spirit had departed, Da Zhou finally noticed the grave expression on Su Yue's face and asked aloud.
With the help of Qu Man'er, Zhang Qianjin, and Li Shu, Lu Feng finally no longer needed to stand atop the tree canopy to admire the scenery.
"This fellow is blocking our path right in front of us, how are we supposed to get past? And how did this Fahai get across?" Zhang Sanfeng asked doubtfully.
"Why on earth did you go teasing her?" Old man Duzhong asked with a hint of reproach in his tone.
This startled everyone greatly, and Meng Yucheng was also stunned. Yun Qingqing screamed and closed her eyes, but after waiting for a long time, the anticipated pain never came; instead, she found herself falling into a warm embrace.
In an instant, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to transform into a peerless Confucian scholar. "Before the stirrings of pleasure, anger, sorrow, and joy, it is called equilibrium. When these emotions are stirred and each achieves due degree, it is called harmony. Equilibrium is the great root of all under heaven, and harmony is the universal path."
"That's not appropriate. If we sign a contract with SIK and clothing from other brands appears, wouldn't that be a breach of contract?" the agent said with a frown. Actually, she also thought this clothing line was great, but the contract still imposed limitations.
Yet Liu Banxian ignored Chen Junmei's gaze, continuing to twirl that string of sandalwood prayer beads in his hand as if the beads were revolving in tandem with his train of thought.
"Wait here, I'll fetch you some water. Don't wander off and get lost," she said. Even as she spoke, she had already reached a nearby mountain stream, grasped a massive tree leaf, and began gathering water for me. After a short wait, the young maid brought the water over, and I drank it all in one breath.
"Never mind them. The Zhen family harmed so many people for the sake of wealth; let's see if they can manage to preserve their lives against those people!" the Emperor said.
Chixiazi looked at Luo Qingqiu, who was sitting quietly right there. Master and disciple had parted ways for sixty years, only to be separated by the boundary between the living and the dead when they met again.
To defeat the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, one had to acquire the dual powers of both time and space. Yet Ye Huan possessed only the power of time, while the power of space remained within himself; how could Ye Ying ever hand over the power of space to Ye Huan?
After all, the big shots involved in this matter were none other than formidable figures, and if things weren't handled properly, it could genuinely lead to serious trouble.
