Volume 1, Chapter 59: "Shishi, Will You Marry Me?"

Lin Wennuan pulled out the dessert menu and turned the pages one by one, ignoring the question, clearly showing no intention of discussing it further.

After flying out of the Cleveland Base City, Wang Ying, Lei Zheng, Yue Yinchuan, and the other two transformed into five streaks of light, streaking rapidly across the sky.

Li Hao hung up the phone. He knew it was impossible to retrieve that surveillance footage; after all, there wasn't even police presence over there, let alone any way for him to manage it.

At this thought, a smile broke across Wang Ying's face. For over twenty days now, the bounty mission from the Wang family had weighed upon him like a towering mountain.

Not to mention anything else, quite a few people living nearby with children—those who couldn't bear to turn on the air conditioning at home during the summer—would bring their kids here just to enjoy the cool air and wander around aimlessly.

Wang Ying took out the Sacred Fire Record and made a careful comparison. He immediately felt that the Sea King Ring was vastly superior. The inherited technique could be imprinted directly into the successor's mind, and the Sea King Ring even possessed the ability to conceal itself, revealing none of its wondrous nature before acknowledging its master.

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhang's clothes fluttered violently in the wind. A dazzling red light blazed in his hand as a thick arrow—as broad as a waist—left his grip, tearing through the air, kicking up a flurry of dust, and piercing toward the Second Institute's defense with a shrill whistle.

"Alright then..." Chi Sheng hesitated for a moment. Given Gu Wenliang's status, it was only natural that he disliked the sun.

Fang Qingrong wore a smile on his face now, lacking his previous sternness. He pushed the door open and made an inviting gesture.

Lin Xi stared fixedly at him, eager to see how he would handle the situation. He saw him feigning defense while pressing tightly against Bai Ran.

Linghu struggled persistently, but Richard's right hand was like a powerful iron claw, leaving him utterly unable to break free. The crowd then watched as Linghu soared over their heads like a tattered sack, crashing heavily onto the ground outside the stone chamber.

"If you aren't here to skin foxes, I can lend it to you to play with for a while," Fairy Su replied to Lin Xifan.

Could it be that Zhang Miao's disparaging remarks about Jingjing to his mother had worked all too well? Ever since high school—three or four years now—his mother still brought her up constantly! Feng Yiming debated whether he should make a call and question that dead girl, Zhang Miao.

By this time, Huang Taiji was deeply shaken by the terrifying combat power displayed by the Hua Dynasty's army. After hesitating repeatedly, he finally decided to temporarily retreat back into the city, intending to properly prepare himself before coming out to fight the Hua Dynasty's army to the death.

Sun Quan clearly had not yet begun to prioritize technological advancement for his naval forces at this point, and his historically unprecedented "Pacific Fleet" was still nowhere in sight.

Richard was just about to say that Senior Jian Hui didn't eat such things, when before he could speak, he saw Jian Hui take the candied hawthorn and take a bite. The sweet candy coating and the sour hawthorn intertwined in his mouth, causing Jian Hui to narrow his eyes in satisfaction.

"Just your presence is enough; gifts are quite unnecessary," Ouyang Tian refused outright without even glancing at the items Tang Ming had brought.

"I heard that this time, quite a few people obtained summoning-type magical treasures capable of sealing certain spiritual beasts inside and summoning them out later, which is essentially equivalent to having an assistant by your side," some people remarked while cleaning up the scene.

A bad premonition suddenly surged from the depths of his heart: could it be that Lin Feiyue had truly subdued the Earth's Core Strange Flame, and it wasn't just a show?

Amber had arrived! Chunhui felt a surge of joy. Old Madam Sun had already sent someone to inform the Jia Mansion about her pregnancy, and in less than a day, the Old Madam had sent Amber over. This showed just how delighted the Old Madam was regarding her pregnancy.

"Mother, there is really nothing to worry about. The whole family coming doesn't add much to the expenses, so Mother need not fret over it." Deep down, Chunhui hoped Old Madam Sun wouldn't look at those ledger books, because the Sun family's current expenses were indeed quite heavy. Chunhui was afraid that the elderly woman, advanced in years, would only worry upon seeing them.

Of course, utilizing the Demonic Arts Devouring Technique to rapidly enhance one's strength by devouring others' cultivation also required paying a heavy price.

Was this an attempt at mutual destruction? The moment Yi Yi moved, the sword intent would surely pierce the center of her brows, but the instant Nan Zhouchen moved, those silver needles would undoubtedly puncture his throat.

"Go back! In your current state, you are not qualified to appear here." A cold, indifferent voice echoed from behind the light barrier.

The moment the creation was completed, the room was filled with rich aromas, and the cameramen could feel their hunger pangs being stirred.

Lin Mufeng cast a rough glance over the numerous figures and discovered there were as many as twenty-five of them. Adding Yinyin and Schestia, the total reached twenty-seven.

Sun Shaozu walked to the entrance of Chunhui's courtyard. Gazing at the familiar gate, he paused in his tracks. His beloved wife was waiting for him inside, yet his mother also cherished him—both sides weighed heavily on his mind, leaving him feeling as though he were trapped in a narrow crack.

He abruptly reined in his domain power, his body rapidly reverting to its original state. The backlash of the domain power shattered the meridians within his body, and a mouthful of fresh blood gushed out, after which he felt slightly relieved.

The wet nurse was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then released her grip with immense delight. She was more than happy to see them cultivating their emotional bond.

Furthermore, he was wearing lace-up shoes, and the laces were currently neat and undisturbed, indicating the item was definitely not hidden inside his shoes.

However, ever since Yu Kai learned the truth of what happened back then, he fell ill and naturally could no longer continue tutoring Liao Xiuzhang.

It was impossible to tell how much time had passed—so long that the nearby soldiers were growing restless, unable to suppress their whispered conversations—when Tao Bei suddenly turned around.
