Volume 1, Chapter 59: Twilight Cocktail Party
Everything happened so suddenly and unbelievably. Long Zhan's immediate reaction was to go and see his Xi'er; not wanting to wait even a moment, he instructed some people to handle the funeral arrangements and urged Zhuifeng to travel through the night to the home of the uncle who had once fostered Long Xi.
Fu Yan recalled the exemplary star-chasing couple he had encountered on the first day of school, and began to understand some of the confusions surrounding the marketing chain.
Shortly afterward, Feng Di finished eating the spiritual fruit he held in his hand, threw away the core, and reached out to pull Qianqian in front of him.
Outside the main room, the fierce wind howled like wailing and grieving, while the torrential rain poured down like sobbing and lamenting.
Meanwhile, Lin Ying was still waiting for the reply of the Nether Death Dragon King. The Nether Death Dragon King seemed to pay no attention at all to what the Second Fiend had said, until he finally spoke.
Before he even got close, he heard Village Chief Hammer's loud voice shouting away. After listening for a few moments, Fang Li realized that Hammer and a dwarf under Paul's command were arguing over some issue regarding weapon crafting.
Shen Yuan was left speechless and on the verge of tears. Yin Ling offered a few words of comfort and, ignoring the attempts of the Flame Sect disciples to stop them, led Shen Yuan to continue their journey.
A crisp sound, as if something was shattering, traveled from afar onto the battlefield. Lin Ying turned his head to look and saw a fine crack appearing on the window of the immortal mansion, filling him with wild joy.
Comforting himself casually, Fu Yan walked into the villa. When he saw the chaotic mess inside, his first thought was that he had been burglarized. Changing into his slippers, he went up to the second floor and opened the two nearest rooms. They were clean and tidy. He remembered that these two rooms used to be occupied by Xue Linlin, Xiang Xintong, and Li Siyi.
Afterward, the camera shifted away from the water, continuously panning backward to reveal a glowing river.
Liu Zhao had woken up early. Today was the day Xuexin would go to the Chidai family—the day of Xuexin's ultimate choice, whether to choose Kelly or his own family. Yesterday, Xuexin had already made his decision: if his family still refused to accept him and Kelly, he would have no choice but to rebel, for there was no other way.
Mike opened his bewildered, wide eyes and rolled his pupils, only then realizing that he and Shao Yiluo were still in the middle of a silent treatment. Ignoring him entirely, he prepared to get out of the car.
Seeing the death of their companion, the other two ninjas flew into an immediate rage. One ninja brandished a samurai sword and slashed toward Leng Bingqian. Moving with lightning speed, Leng Bingqian thrust a dagger straight into that ninja's chest. Before his samurai sword could even descend, he collapsed right there.
"It seems I shouldn't have come, since someone cares for her so deeply." Xiang Qing's words were thick with jealousy and possessed a sharp sting, leaving the Emperor momentarily defenseless.
Yet Jin Mingxin was someone who regarded her face as more precious than her life. She leaped behind Mike and aggrievedly said, "Mike, she's bullying me," wearing an expression as pitiful as one could possibly imagine.
Dressed in a uniform, Gigi slowly walked onto the stage, her tall and upright posture drawing everyone's gaze toward her. She approached the donation box and casually dropped a stack of banknotes inside.
Mu Jiaojiao had never witnessed such a massive and ferocious monster before. All thoughts of fun vanished instantly, and terrified to the point that her face turned as pale as snow, she let out a scream and shrank behind Zhuo Yifan, clutching his waist tightly and refusing to let go.
When the two of them regained their footing, they realized the surrounding situation had completely changed. Inside the vortex of the black hurricane, giant stones flew through the air like shooting stars. Just as the two of them froze in shock, several more boulders came flying straight at them. Zhuo Yifan wrapped one arm around the Holy Maiden while wielding his immortal sword with the other, shattering the boulders with two loud *bangs*.
Witnessing his actions, the Yaman pilots dove one after another, opening fire with strafing runs against the Saarlian warships. For a moment, a rain of projectiles fell upon the Saarlian fleet, throwing the Saarlians—who were deeply engrossed in fleet combat—into utter chaos and significantly slowing their rate of fire.
By the fifth day, rare, high-tier items began to appear. It was also from this day onward that the truly important figures would make their appearances and participate in the bidding.
"Director Liu, this house is just waiting for the various pieces of furniture to be moved in before it's ready to live in. I'm really looking forward to New Year's Day now! I imagine that will be the happiest day for everyone in our village."
Fu clearly also sensed Kui's seriousness. Through their time together, she knew that whenever Kui wore such an expression, it meant matters were turning in an unfavorable direction. Therefore, she silently followed closely behind, her attention highly focused.
At such a time, contracting the flu would have unimaginable consequences. It was entirely possible that it could lead to fetal growth restriction, premature birth, stillbirth, or neonatal death. This was by no means alarmist talk—especially when flu complications arose, the probability of such outcomes became even greater.
Tatsumi's piercing gaze inadvertently swept past Dr. Silanu and locked straight onto the location where Aji was.
"Haha, what's so difficult about that? Once the snow melts in early spring, you can learn to ride a horse in just a few days! As for other martial arts, that will depend on General Wang's comprehension," Councilor Gongsun laughed with a smile.
"Boss, you're back," Zhao Ling said with a radiant smile full of high spirits. Last night, Lin Tian had said he was going out on business and wouldn't let him tag along. He had guessed that whatever Lin Tian was doing must be extremely dangerous, so seeing him return safely set his mind at ease.
At this point, everyone finally understood the whole story. It turned out that this first Mrs. Ma had used some unknown method to switch places with the newly appeared Mrs. Ma, with the sole purpose of exposing Leader Qiao of the Beggar Sect and plunging the sect into chaos.
The crowd couldn't help but gasp in shock. Judging by the situation, Senior Brother Pi Zhan seemed to have the lower hand; what they couldn't understand most was how Lin Tian, merely a cultivator at the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, could possibly defeat Pi Zhan, who was at the third layer of Nascent Soul.
"Human potential is limitless." Wang Kun uttered only those words and closed his mouth, refusing to say anything further.
When one of the token-bearers carrying the letter from Andragathius arrived in the city of Leptis, Condidius granted him an audience. Libo's token-bearer bowed to the garrison commander and prepared to hand over the letter.
Who was feeling impatient? She hadn't wanted to wait for him in the first place! Yanning, unable to speak aloud, could only vent her grievances inwardly.
He removed the body wash and shampoo from the shelf and placed them on the floor by the bathtub for her convenience.
"If I had known Jiang Suisui had agreed to Jing Yiliang, I would beat you to death," Yu Jianguo threatened.
To prevent the children from feeling strange, the two of them also underwent six months of psychological counseling, and only gradually relaxed their vigilance once they were certain the children had been left with no psychological trauma.
Chen Yi's Situ Lingran shook her head very earnestly and said, "That's impossible. Although this passage borrows the name of the King of the Tuge tribe to write such words, it has absolutely nothing to do with any prophecy of the Tuge King."
