Volume 1, Chapter 48: Huo Lin's Plan!

In truth, in her past life, Ji Yunshuo truly adored her older brother Ji Yunfan. Before the appearance of Li Susu, he had also been her sole source of warmth within that household.

"Our medical experts have discovered through research that the wild berries of your esteemed country can cure this peculiar illness. However, the yield of your wild tea trees is exceedingly scarce, and the quantity of wild berries produced each year is even more meager. Therefore, we must maintain strict confidentiality and monopolize all these fruits, in the hope that the exceptional Germanic bloodline may be perpetuated."

Inviting Hua Zixian to leave the city together was also a rather good idea. Not only for the sake of safety, but it would also provide a convenient opportunity on the road to brief him on the affairs of the Ronyi Workshop. Time was pressing, so this arrangement was undoubtedly the best.

"Hahaha—" The airborne troops burst into laughter, rolling all over the ground. What the hell was going on? Why were there so many bizarre things happening in the world?

"It's fine, this isn't government funds, your lord has money." He wasn't wining and dining on public expense, so what was there to fear? He certainly had enough spare cash to spend on a romantic outing with his wife.

The difference was that sweat was already seeping from Xue Huo's forehead, and the psychological pressure was mounting steadily.

At that moment, Shuang'er appeared out of nowhere. She grabbed Fan Yanyan's hand and pulled him toward a corner. Fan Yanyan was startled; Shuang'er's movements were so aggressive that he feared she was taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on him. Subconsciously, his hand reached for the pistol at his waist.

She could not imagine how the delicate and beautiful Hong Yi would be treated in the hands of the kidnappers. Armed with nothing more than a single note, she could only wait for the next one, without even a chance to converse with the abductors.

Yet, in the end, Rong Shaoqing still passed her test. Regardless of the circumstances, his conscience was clear, and he had nothing to fear from her trials.

At this moment, Caidie walked in carrying a tray of chilled, sliced watermelon. Seeing this, Lin Chuxia immediately rose from her chair, walked over, picked up a piece of watermelon directly from the tray, and began to eat.

Huangfu Rou walked into the main hall. Concubine Cai looked at Huangfu Rou's retreating figure with a trace of perplexity. In her heart, she felt puzzled: yesterday's persuasion had clearly failed to produce any effect whatsoever. Did this mean she intended neither to bow her head in submission nor to march to her death, and had thus sneaked out so quietly?

This horned demon was not particularly afraid of blindness, and its appearance was exceptionally malevolent. The black mist churning around its body was also the most turbulent.

Over there, Dugu Yue happily expressed her gratitude to Emperor Kangping for his grace. Su Mo, however, wore a rather bland expression, devoid of any visible sign of joy. Still, he did not utter any refusal either; he simply followed behind Dugu Yue and offered his thanks for the grace bestowed.

Yet for her to step straight into the Ascension Realm like this—if that weren't bizarre, ghosts must be real! The young Taoist shook his head vigorously, refusing to believe even if beaten to death that Ning Yao had already reached the Ascension Realm.

For the sake of his career, he could cleave through thorns and brambles, and traverse mountains and rivers; he simply refused to wrong his wife.

Beyond the marshlands stood those towering icebergs rising into the void, a vast expanse of blinding white.

After his departure, the purple-black firmament here slowly reverted to its original appearance, and that overwhelming, awe-inspiring evil might vanished without a trace.

"Understood!" Huo Wanyang replied without a shred of mercy, violently lunging forward as he stomped ruthlessly toward the blue-robed man's head.

In the corridor, Gu Feng paused slightly, casting a glance at the corpses of several dead men. One of them particularly caught his attention.

V indicated that his teleport was also ready, and since Gnar had been thoroughly crushed in the early game, the chances of Rengar gank-ganking top lane were practically zero, especially during the period when he lacked his ultimate ability.

Park Tian'en's eyes widened in astonishment. The heaven and earth energy that had previously escorted away the several divine beasts had already been reabsorbed and transformed once again into spiritual qi, pouring into Zhang Yang's body.

Watching the departing figures of the Myriad Phenomena firmament contingent, Qin Tianzong stood frozen for a long while, unable to snap back to his senses.
