Zhang Qiao said, "The price is this much." He gestured with his hand, indicating a figure twice the amount of previous dealings, and waited for Cheng Yu to bargain.

As it turned out, Xia Feng had installed leaf spring shock absorbers on the carriage. When Liu He introduced the carriage, he explained the principle to Zhang Rang, who was now explaining it to Liu Hong.

The others boarded the vehicle one after another. Accompanied by the roar of an engine, Zhang Fei slammed on the gas and drove away.

Chen Yingman watched his back disappear at the stairwell with a warm, blissful expression before turning back, closing the door, and walking to the window. Only after watching Wu Kai’s car vanish from sight did she turn and walk back into the room.

Holding the steaming sweet potato, which felt a bit hot to the touch, I peeled back the thin skin to reveal the tender, golden flesh. Afraid of burning my lips, I took small, cautious bites—fragrant and sweet. After washing it down with soup even sweeter than sugar and filling my belly, I sat there, reluctant to move.

Those three thousand general-grade ghosts were no less formidable than ghost kings. At the very least, they were equivalent to peak general-grade mutated beasts, as they were originally ghost generals over three meters tall and heart-devouring ghosts, the elite among general-grade entities.

At this moment, Yuan Zhenxia returned to his dormitory with a troubled mind. As soon as he stepped into the elevator, he froze; there was a faint, elegant fragrance in the air, so subtle it was almost imperceptible.

The peace robot and Yan Yun had peculiar appearances, but he only gave them a cursory glance. The primary focus now was the white tiger; everything else could be set aside.

Lin Qingxue was shocked. He knew Xia Xueer’s foundation-building cultivation level made it impossible for her to withstand a strike from a Golden Core master. He hurriedly slapped his storage pouch, and a flying sword shot out, colliding with Shangguan Jing’s blade with a loud "clang."

Looking down at his prized possession, which was only a centimeter away from the edge of the Beast King Sword, Zhang Fei quickly retracted his blade, thinking he must never be so careless again.

The only thing Kael left behind was an exquisite, blunted sword. It was the Sword of Truth, the first weapon Kael used to enlighten the Anglo-Saxons—a sword of peace, and also the first gift Kael gave to Morgan.

At that time, the Prefect of Wangchuan Prefecture, who was far away, had come to Ziping County in disguise, using both threats and inducements to force him to deal with the Ji family shop.

Cheng Hao nodded, called the waiter, and asked for a fresh glass.

His heart skipped a beat. The bloodthirsty desire rapidly cooled, and just as he reached out to grab the other’s throat, he stopped.

Wang Xu was inches away from the ghost bride. The urge to lift her red veil, which he had felt earlier, resurfaced. This time, without a moment’s hesitation, he lifted the red veil.

She leaned forward slowly, looking at the grief-stricken evil spirit. She could neither condemn it nor convince it to let go of its resentment.

"Since you are heading out, you must learn to take care of yourself," Xie Shiying said, her mood seemingly low.

Baling was playing on the other end of the deck, carefree. Wei Xuan hid to one side, watching his son silently for a while before entering the cabin.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, Leng You felt terrified and began to struggle, trying to swim to the surface, but he felt as if something was pulling his feet, preventing him from rising.

Just as she had changed out of her black trousers, which were stained with a little blood, and put on a clean pair, she was about to take off her combat jacket when she suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

"If it’s just for stewing fish soup during postpartum recovery, we can afford it, but any more than that is difficult," Qi Mu thought that when A'Tan had a child in the future, she would also need fish soup to nourish herself; the fish had to be saved.

With that, he swung his palm at me. I was so scared I squeezed my eyes shut, but his hand stopped just a hair’s breadth from my face. I opened my eyes slowly to find the drunkard’s face twisted in pain, his wrist clamped tightly by a spirited old man with a white beard, leaving him unable to move.

"Then I’m sorry, but I’m going to handle this matter!" Li Yuan followed up with his sword, blocking Heng Ruo’s menacing momentum.

"What is the other party’s background?" Ji Nuan’s tone did not sound heavy, yet her soft words carried significant weight.

Murong Wei was waiting in the main hall. Luer was fanning her, and Xiangtao brought over a bowl of iced plum juice.

After hanging up the phone, she leaned against the headboard, taking a stack of colored paper strips for folding stars and a pentagram-shaped glass bottle from the drawer.

By the second day, Zhuyu had overslept due to her exhaustion the night before. When she woke up, she felt somewhat limp and could only rest on the couch.

Ji Nuan nodded. Only when she was helped up by Sister Chen did she feel that dizzy sensation return.

Two streets further ahead lay the Xie residence. It was too dangerous. Jiaye hesitated for a moment, then decided to return to the hotel, turning to cross the street.

Blood Eye’s gaze flashed; his eyes were full of longing as he looked at the baby. This physical vessel was even more suitable for him than Xia Dongqing’s body. Instantly, he transformed into a ray of blood-red light and escaped into the infant’s body, feeling impatient.

Even though Xiao Ju had explained that he did not want to be too intimate with her to avoid causing her painful memories in the future, Man Shengshang’s motto was to live in the present.

She followed him in, observing the shopkeeper as he skillfully chopped ingredients, stirred them in a pot to cook, and seasoned them with various spices. A moment later, she asked softly, "Musk, the etiquette you used when I asked you earlier—" She mimicked the bowing gesture of the Kamal people.
