As long as no cultivator of Golden Radiance or above comes here to stop the Shangqing Sect’s operation, everyone who takes part will receive a generous gift from the Five Sects afterward. I guarantee that the gift will satisfy you all.

Xia Xin felt that the attack might have been aimed at him as well. When it had just come rushing over, it had suddenly accelerated, as though determined to fight to the death.

He realized that his opponent was being utterly unreasonable. Yet precisely because of that, he felt that it was only right, only natural.

Lu Jingcheng said nothing. He merely pointed at the bloody hole between Yamamoto Ryuji’s brows, his complicated expression indicating that it was proof enough of everything.

When the Heaven-Piercing Tower closed that afternoon, Shui Ling had cleared three floors in total and become the master of the eighty-ninth floor. Annihilation had finally broken through the eightieth floor as well and become a floor master.

“Stop him!” the Weasel Instructor shouted, but no one moved. Everyone understood that if this had happened to them, they would probably have ended up just like Falcon Fish.

“What prize? A lifetime achievement award?” The corners of my mouth twitched twice. I already knew that Song Lingya was behind this, but the student council was her territory. No matter how displeased I was, there was nothing I could do. I still had things to take care of, so I could only endure it. “What is it?” I asked irritably.

Cao Yiwen began speaking with Murong Susu, while Ye Fei started explaining the situation to Old Eagle and the others.

Feeling Gu Yun’s sincere friendship, Xu You was deeply moved. Everyone knew that Jinling was a dead zone now; people were fleeing for their lives, and only a fool would go in.

Blazing Angel: And there’s this—even now that you possess a Super Micro-Body, you still can’t defeat him. His intelligence is gradually awakening.

After checking the current housing prices, he found that the average had already risen to 5,800. It was still quite a bit lower than he had expected, but Chu Yang knew that this development would climb to around 10,000 in 2018.

Ever since moving into the Song family’s ancestral residence, she and Song Muchen seemed to have grown closer. Yet only Jiang Zhao knew that she was still excluded by the entire Song family.

Emperor Zhaohe interrupted the Crown Prince. His tone was two degrees sterner than before, making it obvious that he was dissatisfied with the prince’s answer.

Lady Li listened in astonishment. She had never imagined that His Highness the Crown Prince would treat Lianlian with such consideration and be so approachable.

The implication was that he disliked other people getting close to him and only wanted her near him. If his measurements were needed, they would have to wait until they were married, when she could take them herself.

She knew that Qi Yan was handsome, but after previously misunderstanding that he and Xu Ying had been involved, she had found him somewhat unpleasant. Now, perhaps because her state of mind had changed, she unexpectedly found herself deeply attracted to him.

The incident had happened today because the commotion that morning had been too great. On top of that, the various officials had taken turns filing reports, leaving her unable to move for a long time and exposing her itinerary. As a result, she had been caught red-handed.

“Try some…” He handed her a piece of fish from which he had carefully removed all the bones. It came from the belly, the most tender and delicious part.

Yet they were ultimately ordinary people of flesh and blood, without any special abilities to protect them. If they truly encountered something difficult to deal with, they would be lucky to survive without being half-dead.

The guards inside the gate were the palace imperial guards, under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Clan Court. Those stationed outside belonged to the Metropolitan Police Office and were under the Ministry of Rites and Tributary Affairs. With two separate forces guarding a single city gate, she had to report to both sides whenever she left the Ziyang Gate.

Chu Qinghuan seemed not to notice the spectators around her or their incredulous expressions. She merely nodded with an indifferent look.

Bai Qi was startled by the strange phenomenon in the sky. He quickly closed his eyes, extended his jade-like fingers, and began calculating its meaning.

“Come in and talk.” Chu Qinghuan lived on the same floor as these streamers. She was afraid that if Yun Yixuan stood outside too long, the other streamers would see him and start spreading gossip.

She had not forgotten that, at the critical moment, Shi An’an had charged forward without hesitation to protect her.

I smiled at myself. I had burned far too much Begonia Spring Sleep today—so much that I had begun hallucinating. He had been so gentle, and I was so beautiful. He was a man; how could he possibly hate me?

On the way, Lin Jiaying was driving. Her eyes involuntarily glanced at the brocade box on the passenger seat, and her curiosity grew stronger. What could possibly be inside?

Although he felt somewhat dissatisfied, he could only keep that displeasure buried in his heart and could not vent it on anyone—especially not Qin Zijin.

“Of course it’s me. Come on. Business matters are nothing to worry about. Since you’ve agreed to become my wife, you can make all the decisions concerning the business.” Sun Ming was a ruthless man. Having already lost face to this extent, he stopped pretending to be reserved and said it directly to Hua Meiyan.

He used a dagger to cut his finger. Warm liquid slowly dripped onto the phoenix painted in alchemical cinnabar on my left arm.

Mr. Bai sat with his legs crossed, his gaze razor-sharp. Charlie felt as though he had no secrets at all, as if everything about him lay beneath Mr. Bai’s watchful eyes.

Then Xue Ningmei thought of something else. If Nie Yinniang lost, would she really have to watch from the shadows while Cao Ze devoured her?

Amber wore an excited smile. “A Reaper, a Quincy, a Hollow—ha ha ha! After adding the Hogyoku, what will you become?”

“All right, that puts my mind at ease. Let’s go!” Ziwei took out a U-shaped neck pillow and rested it behind her head, looking extremely comfortable.

Bai Suzhen sighed softly. The two sisters had once received the grace of Qingcheng Mountain’s spiritual guidance. Now that they had heard of Qingcheng Mountain’s destruction, it was only natural that sorrow filled their hearts.

He sat in his wheelchair with a smile on his face, as though he had not heard the slightest bit of news concerning Li Siyuan’s death.

Farther away—and more frightening still—there was a country over in Feizhou that imported soybeans from the Stars and Stripes Nation. At first, those soybeans were sold for less than the grain produced by that country itself.

At three o’clock, Feifei arrived. To my surprise, she was carrying several grocery bags stuffed to the brim. The moment I opened the door, I was practically stunned. With sweat covering her brow and the weight of the bags in both hands, she looked just like a wife returning home—so endearing that my heart ached for her.
