Chapter 123: The First Snow

Last night, Aunt Jiang brought over four jiao as a marriage token for Qinghuan, and Qinghuan said that this gift, in the end, was something Li Qingyun would have to return in favor, so she told Li Qingyun to keep it herself.

After Li Qingyun moved house, she found time to visit Aunt Jiang and presented a gift of five jiao. Today, the girl in that household is also getting married, and it is said she is to marry into a worker’s family in the county seat. The whole family is in high spirits.

They exchanged congratulations and small pleasantries, then after giving the gift they returned home. Gu Tingzhou had already prepared lunch. Lately, having followed Li Qingyun closely, even his cooking had become quite good. Just in time, he also tried out a new stove, and it worked quite well—quite acceptable, in truth.

Beyond that, the Great Lake also held three exceedingly rare treasures: the silver-backed knifefish, the snowflake stonefish, and the crimson-tailed prawns.

The police officer in question was called Xu Rong, a veteran from the City Police Bureau. This time, Xià Nán was assigned to their station and happened to be paired with him.

Of course, in that battle Yuan Futong did not give everything he had; he even suppressed much of his Fire-Source World power. Yuan Futong did not want his full level of strength to be exposed to everyone, especially to An Feng; otherwise this battle could never have dragged on in such a muddled way.

From the moment he met Han Feng, Zhao Dong knew he was a rather reserved young man. When he came here, there was no trace of stiffness in his expression or movements.

After that, Wang Runxue summoned in the cooks, sedan-bearers, horsemen, grooms, and all the other servants from the outer residence. They knelt before the master and mistress and each received a task.

Ye Nan’s expression brightened. He drew a deep breath to steady his excitement and used the Perfect Summoning Art and Perfect Taming Art on the Fire Phoenix. After he had obtained the fox’s enchantment skill, when he used both arts for the fifth time, the System finally sent him a message.

From their conversation, this prince named Ladexi seemed to have chased her from America. By Han Feng’s reckoning, Li Shanshan and that prince must have been classmates or something similar before. Yang Xiwyn seemed to have a good impression of the prince; by that measure, his threat was truly substantial.

When Ye Nan heard this result, he stood stunned for a moment, then turned and looked around. He saw Ren Tuo hurrying toward the stage with somewhat agitated, almost chaotic steps—one could tell how excited he was by the way he walked. As the winners in the seafood category were announced, it was now time for the poultry entries.

Princess Danyang thought that Tang Zhou had meant the same thing. The two of them had just spent so long talking chiefly about merchants; this showed that Tang Zhou had not rushed to act within the Ministry of Revenue. He was striking from the outside first, teaching everyone outside the ministry the method of credit ledgering, and only then pressing the Ministry officials to learn it.

Wang Wei did not believe an aircraft carrier could make the passage either. There are too many massive ten-thousand-ton vessels on Earth, and many of those broken by towering waves and surges as well.

Unexpectedly, the smoke caught her in the throat and made her cough hard twice. Zhou Xun watched with satisfaction as the incense tip burned down, looking as if it had been burning for quite some time.

“Commander,” the logistics officer asked in confusion, “remelting this weapon is clearly unavoidable, but is it not excessive to send half the grain off to people?”

The two squads stood almost entirely apart from one another, one to the left and one to the right. They did not speak to each other at all. From the Hogwarts side, however, they seemed very alert, their arms never straying far from their wands.

Su Xinyue’s decision meant she was willing to make peace again with Lin Feng. This was no longer the resigned acquiescence she had seemed to offer two days earlier; it was a willing, heartfelt consent.

In the brief instant of his daze, Wang Yi seized the moment, sprang instantly to the opponent’s back, and recited the Incantation of Turning Heaven and Earth.

Frederica’s estimate that the number was more than one hundred was correct; yet the number of Ian’s men who had been swallowed had never exceeded one hundred, so she had only a bitter chuckle left.

Just as Yuan Ying was in the middle of his killing, a pair of black-winged angels blocked his way from ahead. The newcomers were Ruo Ning, the former left-wing companion who had run away with Hua Ye.

Returning to the garrison, everyone else was thoroughly exhausted; even Haozi, who was usually very spirited, looked a bit tired. After bidding farewell to Lu Tian, he went off to rest.
