Volume 1, Chapter 24: The Madman and the Madwoman

On the way back, He Xiyan took her phone out of her bag, unlocked the screen, and prepared to send him a message.

Xi Xi was still sitting on the sofa, seemingly exhausted; he kept his eyes gently closed, and the fatigue was visible on his face.

A-Xing had known from the start that relying solely on the skill damage of the two fur-balls would never lead to victory.

After hauling Yu Tianxiang up, Chi Sheng lay sprawled out, gasping for air. Yu Tianxiang lay flat on the summit, muttering thanks over and over. It took a long while for the feeling to return to his limbs.

Without warning, a figure slowly approached and stopped beside him. Looking back, Bruce met a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to speak.

After a few threats, Bruce led Bucky—who had returned to his usual "expressionless" state—into the training center hall.

Following his impromptu speech at the IP Gala, many fans realized that Cao Yifang was truly gifted at public speaking.

Chen Jin was like a monkey; he seemed to have thorns on his seat, restless and constantly wanting to get up and pace around.

At that same moment, in the main world, Loki, who had chosen not to be saved by Thor, appeared in a vast, enclosed space. There were no bright lights here; under a dim, grayish glow, the stone floor revealed the bleakness of time.

The arrival of the Vanu tribe in battle lightened my burden considerably, and the Imperial Army’s formations were no longer so tight. I moved with wide, sweeping motions, like a scythe cutting through rice, felling the imperial soldiers who stood in my path.

But Old Man Chu was not a man to be easily intimidated; he raised his hand once more to strike Chu Jin.

"Pomelo, let’s take a walk around the school first; our campus is quite large, and then we can head to the cafeteria," Baobei said, changing the subject.

"Me? I didn't do anything. Just met a few friends, same as Lin Yi," Jun Zi'an replied coolly.

Thinking of Su Yi'an, who still knew nothing in the backyard, the old butler sighed. He walked out of the hall and headed toward the backyard; some things could not be avoided forever.

The final exams ended, and Baobei’s grades were not too bad. Even without Yan Lin’s tutoring, she had achieved a satisfactory result.

As Mu Nianyou stood there in a daze, Li Shangjing let go, and Xia Qize fell heavily from his shoulder onto the sand.

Zhang Shi led the princess to listen until they were blushing, then said, "How hateful! Why are you all like this?"

It didn't matter how long it took; what he feared most was that Baobei might forget him. Mu Jingyang hugged Baobei tighter, as if he wanted to embed her into his very being. He would remember this embrace forever, and he hoped Baobei would too.

But once the appointment news came down, she changed her mind: wait a little longer, Xu Zining might have better options.

Tuoba Wei—no wonder he looked familiar. The scene of him torturing Ran Xian was still vivid in her mind, though he seemed to have had his manhood cut off; he should be considered a eunuch now.

He hadn't expected that even after entering the Immortal Spirit Mirror, he would still suffer such agonizing pain. What was going on? Why such a strong reaction? Was that not a cultivation pill, but poison?

After assessing the situation, Tang Xue frowned slightly. She had clearly been in the middle of meditation, so how could she have suddenly fallen asleep?

Xi Xi was quite direct. I didn't care what demands she might make; I just agreed to them first.

"Why is there already dust after less than a month?" The Huo residence was filled with desolation; everywhere one looked, it felt bleak. The mansion stood as lonely as Huo Chengjun herself, quietly waiting for time to leave its mark.

At ten in the morning, the sun was just right. In the military governor’s garden, the plants and trees had shed their winter lethargy and were growing vibrantly in the spring. In the azure sky, clouds gathered, and the sunlight fell in layers, casting swaying shadows of flowers across the ground.

"What is that! Honestly! How do you have any friends? How are you not ostracized? At a time like this, you should say, 'Wow! How is it you?' or something like that," Stefan said with a frown.

Huo Chengshu blushed at Huo Chengjun’s remark, and just then, Huo Guang knocked on the door, easing her embarrassment. She hurriedly got up to open it.

"My children... Mommy hates to let you go..." Lin picked up the two children and rubbed her face against theirs.

However, the servant was right; although the man wasn't wearing an official uniform, even in these plain clothes, it was clear he was no ordinary person from the streets.

They naturally realized that it was precisely because of this dagger that I had severely wounded the giant centipede earlier.

Having pierced the teacup earlier, the shards had driven directly into his flesh, causing blood to flow; he had suffered a hidden loss.

A total of eighty-one military formations, with one hundred million cultivators at the Refining Void stage, stood with murderous intent, surrounding the outermost perimeter.

Unexpectedly, whether or not the cat understood human speech, it bore a grudge against Yun Shang’s decision. It bared its fangs and claws at her, and while Lü Yiliang wasn't looking, it lunged forward, scratching the back of Yun Shang’s hand and drawing blood.

Tu Shan smiled and draped his arm over Hua Yu’s shoulder. Compared to the prickly "Six" from before, Tu Shan was much more cheerful and composed in his speech.

If he were being targeted for assassination by someone with ulterior motives due to his lack of strength, things would become quite interesting. Zhang Yu still had much to do.

Meng Chang had drugged Xiu Niang and Meng Shan and locked them together; what happened afterward was, of course, a natural sequence of events.

Either he judged that the enemy jungler was not in the upper half of the map, and the enemy mid-laner was pinned down in the middle lane.

What made her value Shang Qianxue even more was her status—or rather, the background she came from, specifically the financial power of the Shang family.

With a roar, Yi Heng was startled; a look of terror appeared on his face, and he trembled uncontrollably. For a moment, he dared not face the man’s fierce gaze.

"You haven't accepted my lollipop yet, how can I go back?" Fu Xi smiled radiantly, not at all worried about being punished with frog jumps by Xia Mei later.

At this moment, two other clansmen walked to the left side of the sedan, knelt on one knee, and bowed. Shangguan Nami clutched her large baby bottle, took a "slurp" of the beast milk inside, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and then trotted over, stepping on the back of the kneeling clansman to exit the sedan.

Afterward, Yan Rufeng sent out a jade message slip, and a quarter of an hour later, the person returned.

"My duty is to serve Your Majesty. As for the major affairs of the court and the military, those are for Your Majesty alone to decide," Yue Lingxin replied tactfully while gently massaging the shoulders of the Holy Emperor, Yu Tian.
