Volume 1, Chapter 60: A Good-for-Nothing

He spoke casually, but his words landed on the hearts of the father and son opposite him with the weight of a thousand pounds.

"Now, back to my question. If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer, then—" Gu Jinjan turned to look at Jiang Chenyu, appearing as though he were troubled about how to punish them.

Thinking he was asking her, Jiang Chenyu immediately offered a suggestion: "Isn't he afraid of the cold? How about we pour cold water on them? What do you think?"

"Good idea!" Gu Jinan nodded in appreciation.

When he turned back to look at Wang Dahai, the banter in his eyes was replaced by a chilling frost: "If your son cannot give me a satisfactory answer, then you can decide whose body the cold water gets poured on..."

Ducheng was startled. Although his encounter with the Tribulation Realm Immortal was purely by chance, and the immortal bore little resemblance to a deity, he was, after all, the administrator of the Chaos Tribulation. His own future ascension would likely be inseparable from him. If the Tribulation Realm Immortal were to die, who knew what kind of variables might arise? Should it interfere with his own tribulation-crossing and advancement, that would spell disaster.

Donghuang Taiyi smiled, quite satisfied with Sun Shangxiang's astonishment. After all, this was the power bestowed by the people of that place.

Although Zhang Chen had never asked Zhao Xinghuo to handle household chores, Zhang Chen certainly wasn't going to waste his precious time on sweeping floors. Therefore, this arduous task naturally fell to Zhao Xinghuo.

Chen Qiaoshan had long since advised his family to go for a health checkup, but no one took it seriously. It wasn't as if he hadn't mentioned it to the old matriarch, but what he got in return was a thorough scolding. Go to the hospital when you're not sick? You must be joking. Do you have any idea how hard it is to make money? Do you think money blows in with the strong wind?

Yun Mengqing had once promised Jiang Tianchen that she would take good care of Ning Chujiu. True to her word, she had consistently fulfilled this promise, pampering and caring for Ning Chujiu in every possible way.

At dinner, over a hundred members of the Bao household were filled with complaints and resentment. They loathed the chef's incompetence, yet equally despised their own mediocrity, knowing that such supreme delicacies would henceforth exist only in memory.

"One o'clock in the afternoon is still early. Go back and take a nap, and go after you wake up. Coincidentally, our class has a lecture in the North Building this afternoon, so we can just go together then!" Bu Gongying said.

"Not Sun Shangxiang?" The old master looked at the "Sun Shangxiang" lying on the ground, then turned his gaze in confusion toward Jiang Ziya.

Operating at full speed, it took the two of them a mere dozen minutes or so to travel from the Lu family estate to the prison in the western sector of District A.

Aside from guiding and catalyzing technological progress, Chen Shushen also intended to implement a "gentry system" to dilute the power of the feudal class.

Conversely, males who were physically robust and engaged in long-term physical labor might possess a combat strength exceeding 20.

After witnessing the past of the black cauldron, Li Mu snapped back to his senses, feeling that his knowledge had been broadened. From the moment the cauldron sensed the primordial origin and began shuttling through the void until it arrived in the Southern Frontier, nearly a thousand years had passed since the shattering of the world.

"Venture to the twelfth level? There are simply too many variables. Everything right now is mere guesswork; who can say for sure?"

He glanced at the monkey, who was shouldering a staff and watching him spar with the Third Prince with a mocking expression, and let out a cold snort.

Yet these people were also extremely "fragile." Some were swept into cosmic disasters the moment they stepped out of the Mountain and Sea Realm, ground relentlessly into dust, their souls scattered to destruction, never to attain reincarnation again.

Yushi Nan and the others, who had likewise been gasping under the pressure of financial strain, instantly shook off their fatigue and eagerly declared their intention to buy shares.

Do not be fooled by Yu Siran's sharp tongue at the moment; Xia Qianqian refused to believe that Yu Siran could truly be omnicompetent.

As it turned out, Duan Kun's final words were not a lament for himself, but rather a signal to activate the Sui Dynasty undercover agent who had been lurking beside Zhou Luohou for who knew how many years.

The existence of the ghost bride was perhaps for the sake of the mission's completeness; it was unlikely to be the actual murdering ghost.

Furthermore, she had not told a single soul about her infertility—not even her own parents. Yet this fool had simply grabbed her wrist and instantly known she couldn't bear children?

"I advise you all to change your tune early as well, lest you cross the master one day and displease him. Given his temperament, you should know the consequences," he kindly reminded them.

Aside from practicing medicine and selling herbs, Zhang Dachu's greatest hobby was collecting antiques and curios.

After a two-year marathon of love, they, like any other couple, were about to step into the blessed halls of marriage.

It really did seem as though ever since they drove Song Qingqing out, nothing in their household had gone right. And now, they had even become murderers?

The perpetrator was very familiar with the victim's village and very familiar with the victim. As for the exact nature of that familiarity, it remained to be determined.

Having investigated this way and that, the trail had looped back to pin the blame on him. Had he not actively helped Huang Tao with the investigation, he would probably never be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Depending on the fact that he had labored even if he hadn't achieved merit, Ding Lisheng had also wanted to step forward and offer some advice. But the moment he heard her words, he hurriedly retreated.

Dong Biao and several police officers dispersed to various parts of the trench. The moment Li Xiangdong dared to take a single step away, they would immediately open fire and execute him on the spot. Yet Li Xiangdong showed no reaction whatsoever, sitting quietly in the car as though he were about to fall asleep.

Cao Bei's true qi entered Black Hawk's body, clearing the damaged areas in Black Hawk's brain. Cao Bei also used his fingers to tap various pressure points on Black Hawk's body, restoring him to normalcy.

Chunzhu's brothers and their families were all staying here for the New Year, which naturally meant the children had all come along as well. With so many children, things were bound to be rowdy. Coupled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, they were all the more excited and boisterous.

Not only did he have to maintain a long duration, but he also had to constantly vary his speed and rhythm. The physical exertion was simply too immense.

Xiao Yi's words had completely shifted the pressure onto Fremantle's side. Whether or not to maliciously provoke friction depended entirely on a single word from him.

Chinese was profound and vast. Even though Natasha had learned quite a bit of Mandarin from Li An, she was utterly incapable of understanding local dialects.

As that man stepped onto the arena ring, he looked viciously at the challenger and declared, "Remember this: you died at the hands of Li Siyuan!" His voice was filled with harsh menace.

Bai Gang searched around and indeed found a Mercedes-Benz commercial van, which belonged to his company. Personnel at the base could arrange for pick-ups and drop-offs simply by submitting an application in advance to request assistance from the Earth side.

He family had known nothing about the matter; it was entirely orchestrated by Lin Su single-handedly. If accountability was truly to be pursued, He Jiaxiang was completely innocent.

"Fifteen wooden boards?!" Xu Miao widened her eyes in astonishment. Qinghe Residence ordered once a day, taking two boards of tofu each time. For the quantity to suddenly jump to once every three days and more than double in volume, her surprise was entirely justified.

Such speed gave Madam Song a somewhat surreal feeling. She turned her head back in slight bewilderment to look at Mingyan, who was examining the medicinal prescription in his hands and slowly nodded. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

In the end, there was still no answer. Seeing the other items they had purchased scattered in disarray on the ground—things she had just handed to Su Xiling a moment earlier—Huang Yunyu felt a sudden surge of panic. "Xiling, where are you? Xiling!" Huang Yunyu shouted at the top of his lungs, a hollow sensation gripping his heart as a sense of foreboding washed over him.

The Immortal Realm is divided into these seven realms in total. Once a cultivator fully completes the cultivation of these realms, they may ascend to the God Realm.
