Volume 1, Chapter 43: Why Do Roses Have Thorns?

Zhang Fengguang thought about putting everything back into the violin case. He brushed away the thick snow on the ground in the woods and buried the violin case inside.

Wang Xue nodded helplessly. "I know, don't worry, I will definitely finish drinking it on time." Afterwards, she pulled Tang Yan upstairs to whisper to each other. After the two left, Wang Kun checked the time and saw that it was almost time for dinner, so he asked the servants to prepare it.

"Hehe, pure luck. Expert-level dungeons are indeed much more powerful than regular dungeons. I don't think anyone else has ever encountered side quests in a dungeon," Ye Nan chuckled.

As soon as Uncle Zhao left, Zhao Qianhan clearly relaxed a lot. Just as Aunt Gu had said, he could eat dozens of dumplings in one breath. Aunt Gu kept urging me to eat more, and under her enthusiastic hospitality, I ate quite a bit.

"Isn't there one right in front of you? How can you say they don't exist?" Zhang Taibai said with a light chuckle.

Gong Qianzhu had never learned several sets of sword techniques so easily in just half a day. Although she was panting and exhausted, her heart was filled with joy.

Tianci sat straight up, ignoring Tang Yan, and immediately searched for his clothes, only to find that they were missing.

He lowered the bucket down the well, then hoisted it back up, and a bucket of well water was retrieved. He lowered his head; the well water was so clear, without a speck of sand or mud. He leaned over the bucket and took two direct gulps—it was incomparably sweet, without a trace of bitterness.

Long Xing Tianxia had always wanted to build a good relationship with Lin Feng. Now that he saw him, how could he not greet him? So, he walked over toward this side.

As we were chatting, my phone suddenly rang. Seeing that the call was from Jin Yan, I couldn't help but wonder if everything was a bit too coincidental.

To talk with him about her brother's illness, Bai Qianqian kept suppressing her rapidly beating heart.

Not knowing the strength or intentions of the approaching enemy, for the sake of safety, Feng Baiyu had to consider things much more comprehensively.

The Lord of the Spirit Realm wore a suit of blood-red armor. As he looked at the Heavenly Nourished Demon Lord and the others, murderous intent surged in his eyes.

Ji Fanchen slowly stood up, leaned close to Xu Youyou's ear, and whispered the word "body-to-body" with utmost vulgarity.

Meanwhile, Bai Xun, who had been watching everything from inside the car, slowly started the engine and then vanished into the dark night.

He raised his hand and gently tucked a stray lock of hair behind Mo Ling'er's forehead, the corners of his lips curving upward into a soft arc.

Unlike the Guardian Generals, even when it came to difficult and unspeakable secret orders, he would execute them without the slightest hesitation.

Yuxiao gave his son three days to seek verification, but in reality, it took Yu Jin only a single day to return to the Yusheng Palace.

Mu Hanshen got out of the car first as usual, lifted Mubao and set him on the ground, then turned around to gently gather Bo Huan into his arms, turning to walk toward the main hall.

Bai Qianqian knew they definitely wouldn't believe her, but she didn't force it. Her gaze remained fixed firmly on Chen Xibin.

"Hehe, I've been wanting to beat you up for a long time." The muscular man rubbed his fists. This feeling of using public office for personal revenge felt simply wonderful.

It had inexplicably and suddenly been slipped onto their princess's wrist, pawned once and then miraculously returned, and yesterday it was taken away to be given to that old crone, Mama Zhao of the Mei Garden.

"Luoyi! Thank goodness, heaven bless you, you're finally awake!" Commander Shen walked excitedly toward Luoyi, followed by a group of high-ranking personnel including Yong Hui and Lin Xiang.

The players sighed with emotion one after another. Seeing the two of them earn so many contribution points, their resolve to continue grinding hard in this game grew even stronger.

The blood-red horse derived its name entirely from its all-over reddish coat. This shade of red appeared exceptionally striking and magnificent against the horse's robust physique.

After experimenting for so long, he had finally gained a certain level of understanding of this newly comprehended skill.

The Dean regarded Liu Chu as the apple of his eye, and the messengers arriving from the Northern Imperial Palace also demanded an audience with Liu Chu. If something were to go wrong on his turf, his nine heads wouldn't be enough to chop off.

It was fine for Lei Yin, who relied on his peerless prestige, but Shui Yin had a terribly stressful time trying to put out fires after returning to the village.

Due to the lack of heavy industry, the environment of Hoteville was pristine. The azure sky was high and distant, resembling an inverted glazed dome.

At this moment, Fang Zhaotian, sitting in his office, saw the overwhelming condemnation and abuse from netizens, and his face turned ashen.

Yet, deep in her heart, she still felt a lingering reluctance. She could not bear to leave this warm embrace, could not bear Brother Ye, Brother Yuxishan, and Sister Mei, nor the others who had shown her care and help.

The moment the medicine bowl was brought out, a heavy and bitter scent of traditional Chinese medicine immediately filled the air.

Without a clear stance from the Purple Rose, Zhou Suqi would not have been bold enough to call her younger sister Suyu, let on to invite the colonel to act as an intermediary. Zhou Suqi's arrogant mindset dictated that he assumed when he forcibly seized the Purple Rose, Zhang Tianyi would only dare to play the coward and顺水推舟 (順水推舟 - play along for his own convenience).

Bai Kaixin had one of his legs burned off, yet his complexion looked even paler than that of Wei Qingyi and the others, who rarely saw the sunlight.

Yet, in today's society, to be honest, far too many people worshiped foreign things, and having knelt for so long out of habit, they truly found it impossible to stand back up again.

She had already approached Leng Haoxhen, reaching out to hook her arm through his. With an appearance of intimacy, she rested her head against his shoulder. What kind of picture did that make? At the very least, it looked like a happy family.

Song Yuyu shuddered for no apparent reason, feeling that the other person's gaze was far too cold and indifferent, resembling a desolate desert devoid of a single trace of emotion.

When Zhang Tianyi spoke thus, he was naturally reminding the other party while also testing them. If it were the Military Statistics Bureau, the reception protocol would definitely have its unique features.

Song Yuyu's eyebrows twitched. If she remembered correctly, wasn't last night's banquet hosted by the young master of the Liao family?

A moment later, Nangong Yunyao glanced at the piles of Tiger Peak corpses on the ground, looked toward the stone cave ahead, greeted the others, and then walked inside.

As Jiang Xiao was speaking, the entire Chaos Continent suddenly quivered violently. He raised his head to look toward the sky, brilliant lights flashing in his eyes, as his powerful primordial spirit energy instantly pierced through the firmament of the Chaos Continent to gaze into the depths of chaos.
