Volume One, Chapter 48: Lavish and Arrogant

Shi Zhao lifted his eyelids slightly and asked calmly, "May I ask where I have offended Miss Liu?"

Liu Si raised her chin arrogantly. "I feel uneasy whenever I see you, you pauper. You have tainted my sight!"

Xia Yunxuan felt guilty for tormenting Yingying with spells in Baiyu City. He wasn’t a fool; judging by Xu Fan’s behavior toward the two, he knew there must be some special significance between them and Xu Fan.

She had even overheard Shen Xiong complaining about his own son. Could it be that Su Chengwang understood Shen Qingyun better than Shen Xiong himself?

Halfway up the mountain, knowing the old master was coming, Huo Yan was already waiting at the gate. Upon meeting, he respectfully led the two inside.

After slicing through the second basket of apples, Tang Xili paused, took off the hair tie from her wrist, and tied her hair up somewhat irritably.

Even if it were a genuine case of depression leading to suicide, there must have been a cause. You immediately thought of Qin Qian’s intention to confess to Shen Zhi, but Shen Zhi looked utterly confused when you asked him.

Since Shi Yao’s deskmate learned that she was the brave soul who had boldly entered the middle school division, their opinion of her changed completely.

Zhao Gao held a high-ranking position within the palace, and as a eunuch rising to such heights, his abilities were clearly formidable.

Hearing this, Shi Zhixin’s expression shifted slightly. Overcome with emotion, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

From a kilometer away, Ian and his companions clearly saw the Golden Sail suddenly burst into towering flames, the ship’s hull breaking into two at the midpoint.

Song Ci took the hard drive, experimental report, and photographs aboard a private plane to the United Nations, applying for peacekeeping forces to intervene in the investigation.

So many things had happened recently that she was overwhelmed and had long forgotten about Ai Xin running away from home.

Now, because of his battle with Long Jiutian, the fish pond was destroyed, countless lives vanished into nothingness, disappearing from this world forever.

The urgings of those around him appeared to him as a chaotic dance of demons and ghosts. The gang leader’s mind was in turmoil, yet what remained indelible was his unrestrained greed and wickedness.

Wu Yue was often chased out before dinner. Seeing him crouching pitifully by the wall, the old lady would give him something to eat—whether it was home-cooked food, snacks, or sweets.

That was legendary martial arts. If he could learn it, he would feel as if he had stepped into a wuxia world. Although the second world was essentially a realm of martial and immortal heroes, Mu Qingyuan still hadn’t quite processed it.

The dawn’s first light, like a golden arrow, pierced through the lush expanse of the Ten Thousand Mountains, awakening countless slumbering creatures.

Seeing Jin Qinyun holding her phone, using the garden lights and the lingering slanting sunlight to photograph the flowers, Su Yu couldn’t help but take out her own phone and capture the scene enthusiastically.

“My soldiers have perished nearly halfway. If I march forward, you will still be ignorant of life and death.” The man in the cloak turned suddenly, white hairs fluttering in the wind. After a brief pause, he spoke.

But the elders of the righteous sect were furious, for among those who had just responded were disciples from their own sect.

Jiang Shaoyang was already prepared mentally. No matter what monsters or demons came, even if ten thousand snakes appeared, he would remain calm. If things went awry, weren’t there two high-level evil spirits? They could hold the line while he and Yin Jin made a swift escape.

At the point of contact, it felt as if striking into cotton, or sinking into a swamp, with no force able to penetrate.

Wang Xiumei saw Zhao Chen and Li Xiao approaching but paid them little attention, focusing instead on her work at the silk loom.
