Volume 1, Chapter 56: Attending the School Anniversary Celebration

The butler felt cold sweat breaking out under Lu Zhenting’s falcon-like, piercing gaze, wondering what was wrong with what he had said to make the old master look as though he wanted to kill someone.

Clearly, he wanted to give her the best life and the finest future; clearly, he wanted to guard her for a lifetime and watch her find happiness. Yet, it was also he who, unable to restrain his emotions, fell in love with her, impulsively possessed her, and ruined her entire life.

This pyrokinetic villain stood up like a zombie, first with his left foot twisted backward, then dragging half of his body. The black mist permeating the air condensed into a hand that gave him a supportive push from behind.

Jiang Qian had been busy at the laboratory all day when she suddenly received a call from the old family residence, telling her to return there for the night.

It was evident that if a choice were made, Lu Qingge’s remaining years would likely be smooth sailing all the way.

Once or twice might be tolerable, and the Xu family would lend the money in secret, but people kept coming to borrow from her, and it wasn't just one person. Chen Jian’s official salary wasn’t high either; for a rank-five official, how substantial could his stipend be? Most of the time, they still had to rely on Madam Xu’s dowry to make ends meet.

"Naturally!" Speaking of this, Li Jing looked extremely proud. Her son had completely inherited her fine constitution, hadn't he? Li Jing had already drawn up a schedule of how her son would learn martial arts after turning five. Moreover, Li Jing decided to pass down all of her maternal family's ancestral martial arts for her son to inherit.

"What did you say?" Linlang absentmindedly played with her hand. On her ring finger she wore an exquisite pink diamond ring, which was very pretty, though unfortunately not her favorite color.

The two maidservants were seen there—one nimble-handed and quick-wittedly counting the silver notes, while the other pulled out an abacus and clattered away at it. Before long, they tallied up the earnings for the night, totaling five thousand six hundred and forty taels.

Lu Qingshi tucked her long hair behind her ear, then used a cotton swab dipped in ointment to gently apply the medicine to her swollen cheek.

The old master, lying in the ICU, was stabilized within half a day after receiving the injections. His vital signs, which had been on the verge of fading away, gradually recovered and stabilized, astonishing a group of authoritative specialists.

One could only wonder whether the officials and the emperor they served would still be able to stand united in the face of sudden emergencies.

Compared to a pilot, a complete fighter jet was clearly much more valuable to Zhao Yi, while the latter was quite a tasteless and dispensable asset.

Everyone wanted to thoroughly puncture Xue Xiaoxue’s lies and launch a ruthless, face-slapping counterattack against her. No one was willing to deliver their faces right to her doorstep just to let Xue Xiaoxue put on a show of acting superior and slapping others' faces.

In this battle at the Suspension Sea Bridge, the only enemy was a super King Crab. Just moments ago, the Sword of Chengzhou had already destroyed this super mutant creature, meaning the battle could be said to have concluded.

Among that pile of items, I saw instant ham sausages, freshly steamed buns and steamed rolls, as well as frozen fish and meat, alongside some vegetables I could recognize and various other miscellaneous things I couldn't.

Tang Entertainment would only be like this during extraordinary times. After all, with Xu Yiru’s departure, Tang Entertainment had suffered a significant blow and was in urgent need of talent like Su Xiaxia.

After Zhou Dedao finished speaking, he told me to go back and think it over carefully. When I returned to the dining room and walked up beside this "projection" as I entered the door, the "projection" directly vanished.

Ding Bo was as good as his word. Without any hesitation, and without even reading the contract, he flipped straight to the place where a signature was required and signed his full name.

Ye Xueying felt secretly puzzled. Normally, in places where ghosts and monsters haunted, the grass and trees in the mountains would be tainted by yin and dead energy, mutating as a result. Yet the trees here were entirely normal.

Even if the two Dark Emperors exerted their full strength, they were simply powerless to stop the infinite expansion of the eerie substance.

While out on training journeys, he encountered Pan Qi and fell in love with her. Knowing that Pan Qi’s family was merely an ordinary realm-god family, he inevitably told some lies in order to be with her, even going so far as to become a resident son-in-law in the Pan family.

On the other side, Wu Shixing quietly watched the changes unfolding before him, noticing that many people around him had widened their eyes.

Guo Jing then asked, "Looking at this brother, you do not appear to be a Song person. I wonder which country you hail from?"

"So what? Anyone who blocks my path will either die or be crippled. Old Master Lin, we are very reasonable people. If you remain obsessed and unrepentant, it won't just be you who suffers; everyone here related to you will be punished," Song Jingye said coldly.

"Strike..." The Six Meridians Divine Sword continuously wrapped around them, while the raging fires emitted by the two magical treasures showed signs of extinguishing.

Anyone could see that both sides had made preparations for this contact, yet they still ended up being executed. None of the experts in the Underworld dared to make a move lightly anymore. Water Lady could no longer manage a smile, gazing in astonishment at Zhang Zhen, while Huo Lian’s face turned dark, filled with internal hesitation.

"Yes, of course we do. I wonder what grade this young master wishes to buy, and in what quantity?" the man asked directly.

Countless gazes between heaven and earth were cast over, all fixing upon Wen Qingzhi and Guohai, the grand elder of the Jiuxun lineage.

"Although the Giant was forced to allow Tianming to face Weizhuang, he wouldn't let Tianming risk danger unless he had a certain degree of certainty," Gao Jianli comforted everyone. Now they had no other choice but to choose to believe in Tianming and believe in the Giant.

Facing Mier's words, Yuan Qiqi did not know what to say. She could only quietly stay by Mier's side and listen to her speak.

"Wei Yan, this lonely king asks you once more: will you surrender or not?" Cao Cao asked with an overwhelming, tyrannical aura.

In a split second, Situ Juer only felt the heavy weight on her hands as she was sent flying, her nose-tip instantly enveloped by a familiar scent.

The cultivation of the Great Dao, when all is said and done, is a process of continuously comprehending laws and borrowing them to mobilize power. The ultimate goal of this cultivation is to refine oneself into the law. This is what people call "ascending to immortality."

It is said that Ma Teng, relying solely on his bravery, led his native Xiyuan troops out of the pass to do battle, defeating Yang Ren in a single stroke and becoming full of pride and satisfaction. Unfortunately, lacking a capable strategist by his side and succumbing to overconfidence, he fell right into the trick of the Hanzhong army, being lured by Yang Ren's forces to the outskirts of Mianxian, a hundred miles away from Yangping Pass.

Situ Juer excitedly pulled Zhang Mengya at that moment, asking how the family was doing. The two sisters chatted and laughed, making Feng Linghao feel somewhat jealous.
