Volume 1, Chapter 47: Leave the things with me, and rest assured waiting for my return

Walking in, they saw that Qi Luan, together with Qi Zhuo and Qi Ling, was standing in the shady corner of the wall, whispering about something.

The moment he took that bite, he immediately felt as if something had leaked out of his body.

How could Su Lan not know what was on Ning Yuoruo's mind? If Ning Yuoruo really wanted to do something with Xiao Yi, she would undoubtedly be the first to jump out and stop it. Su Lan had even figured out the excuse Ning Yuoruo would use: she would definitely claim she was worried that Su Lan might get taken advantage of or something similar.

At the dinner table, Shen Xinli did not mention acquiring the land at first. Instead, she just chatted and reminisced about the past, setting a very pleasant and warm atmosphere before smoothly steering the conversation to the main topic.

His entire body was trembling uncontrollably, making him look utterly terrified, and his tone was full of trembling panic. Yet, his phrasing and choice of words were impeccable, completely logical, and didn't resemble someone who was scared out of his wits at all. Therefore, Li Lin immediately exposed the venerable one's hypocritical mask right on the spot.

"It's my turn. I set a card facedown on the field and end my turn." Kaiba drew a card from his deck. Inability to attack the monsters inside Toon World, combined with the fact that he couldn't defeat the Dark Rabbit inside Toon World either, left him with no choice but to set a card on the field and conclude his turn.

"Let's wait until I take a look over there first. If the other party hasn't considered things to that extent, won't everything be easily resolved?" Xie Ruhe said.

"Squeak! Squeak!" The surrounding laborers gathered around curiously, watching the swelling mound that kept rising. Suddenly, the top of the expanding mound burst open violently, and countless black insects crawled out from within—countless scarabs.

Hearing the rustling sound of clothing, Qi Nan immediately opened her eyes, only to find that it was Jin Xiang.

The emperor's eyes widened as he stared at the Empress Dowager for a long time, unable to speak. He could completely ignore Qian Tianyou's words, but could he bluntly reject his imperial grandmother's words?

Watching Yan Wuji's retreating figure, Xu Yuanxing suddenly felt a sense of desolate bleakness, accompanied by an unconcealable sorrow.

Led by Yu Haitang, the group walked with familiar ease to the Go club. Looking at the passionate and spirited young men, Qin Feng gave a noncommittal curl of his lip. Their momentum was decent enough, but he had yet to see how their actual Go skills fared.

"Your constitution is inherently yang-dominant, and encountering an aphrodisiac only adds more fire to your yang. Since you've held out for so long, there are now only two solutions left. One is self-castration; the other, I think you can guess!" The villain's voice carried an indescribable majesty.

Knowing that the longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it would be for him, the old man covered the distance to Shakya in a few bounds, raised his hand, and delivered a fierce karate chop straight at Shakya's neck.

So, what kind of psychological perspective was Luna using to view me? Watching the pair of sisters happily playing and bickering before me, I shook my head and cast this thorny, hard-to-figure-out question to the back of my mind.

"When Qianfan sought me out last time, I could already tell you were hiding something from me, but I firmly believed you wouldn't do me any harm. And the facts proved me right—in the end, you were still helping me. The man in black from just now was an acquaintance of yours, right?" Qin Feng slumped back dejectedly into the stone chair.

In the reception area, Nie Zhenbang was quite casual. He motioned for Bao Gui to sit, and then took a seat himself. At that moment, Hong Feng also poured a cup of green tea for Bao Gui.

"Captain, why would you do something like this? Using civilians as hostages—isn't that just..." Kira, who had been listening nearby, finally couldn't help asking, his face full of a stubborn and unaccepting expression.

When Fu Bozhou said this, his expression was extremely calm, carrying a trace of coldness yet tinged with firmness. He added, "Don't worry, Langlang will take good care of her." He himself would also pay closer attention to her condition.

"The core of the Gray Fields Project is genetically modified food." Cowboy Mikkelsen parked the car in front of the first hemispherical building. Up close, Tang Ji and the others realized that this thing was a sort of permanent structure greenhouse.

Lacking a Shanghai household registration, Fang Zifu had hit countless closed doors and seen stars while job hunting, feeling quite overwhelmed. To his surprise, however, a company happened to fancy precisely his background, and even had a requirement of "non-Shanghai residents only." It seemed every different component created in this world had its own unique purpose.

Lin Yun pushed Lin Fangyi aside, then sat down in front of the computer, his hands flying across the keyboard with lightning speed as he began a flurry of fierce, tiger-like operations.

She had walked a bit hurriedly, and now there was a light sheen of sweat on her forehead. The moment she got into the car, the stifling heat became even more apparent.

The "five" that Tang Ren had just written in her palm was definitely not just a simple number.

Lin Tang's emotions did not fluctuate much, nor did she feel anything strange about herself; she merely regarded all of this as thoroughly commonplace.

Most crucially of all, China would rely on the success of reform and opening up to successfully reclaim its standing as a major global power and strong nation.

Typing with both hands, creating spreadsheets, and performing statistical calculations on the data, he stunned everyone present in a mere five minutes.

When Zhu Yalan hung up the phone, she discovered that Wei Eyi had already reached them, and the expression on her face looked slightly better.

Looking at Peng Hao, whose cautious wariness had not yet faded, Jin Xiuwen smiled and said, "Are you worried someone's going to rob you of your virtue?" With that, he turned and walked into the outer room.

Rui Ning and Zhan Ming clearly had no idea what Long Tian and the others were talking about. Since they hadn't read Journey to the West, they were completely clueless about what Jian Ao was saying. They wanted to ask for clarification, but were afraid of disrupting their train of thought.

"Our local militia currently has 3,260 soldiers and is in need of reorganization. I will now announce the orders for the Chengtuan Militia," Chen Ning stated.

The two drank in solitude, though Shi Yan still inevitably glanced over at Xue Ling from time to time. After all, he regarded her as family, and his family members were growing fewer and fewer by the day.
