Volume 1, Chapter 22: Even Then, He Would Be Willing to Marry

Kagura pulled an object from her person. As everyone looked over, they saw it was a piece of grey-white, coarse cloth. Holding one corner in each hand, she gave it a shake, and everyone watched in unison.

She had finally said something Lu Chichuan wanted to hear. While it was certainly laced with a fair amount of perfunctoriness, Lu Chichuan still hummed, crossed his legs, and said nothing further to stop her.

Downing a cup of tea held to her lips, Song Qingyin finally suppressed the fire burning in her throat. While she kept her head lowered to eat her porridge, Xiao Minglan used a warm, damp cloth to wipe her forehead and neck. In a daze, Song Qingyin vaguely remembered someone caring for her just as meticulously in her sleep; it seemed this sister had checked on her several times.

Before he could ponder the aftermath regarding the factory, Tang Qi found himself squeezed tightly by various divine entities.

"You, too... want the Soul Bead?" Liuyan looked as if she were in great sorrow, yet she still asked, staring earnestly into Chunjin's eyes.

Resting her forehead on one hand, eyes slightly closed, images of the past flooded her mind. What has happened to me? I can't even remember the names of the characters from before. Do I truly belong here, and has Heaven simply brought me back?

"Talking it through with you all has made me feel much clearer. Time to knock off, right?" Jin Yongli said, looking up to ask the question.

Seeing she had finished eating, Xiao Minglan packed up the items and left. A thick cloak and a hand warmer sat at the head of the bed, looking cozy and warm; she wondered who had prepared them for her.

Terrestrial creatures are only suited for showing off on land. Like a ferocious lion, if you put one of these beasts next to a human who can run, even if the human runs for their life, they will never outmatch the lion.

This topic kept turning back and forth, a cycle of doubting one's own ideas and then reaffirming them all over again.

Thus, with the unanimous consent of the Yang family, Lin Feng set out on a journey with Yang Zixuan the next day.

Just as Lu Yu wondered why she would do such a thing, he suddenly saw a flash of white and green light erupt from the dagger in his hand.

A brilliant, magnificent pillar of extreme cold shot forth from his bow. The golden bull collided head-on with the cold beam, and just like the fifth soul skill Harbinger had released moments prior, it was shattered in an instant.

Su Muyue fell to the ground in a sorry state, the sharp gravel cutting into her palms. Fresh blood welled up, causing her to wince in pain.

It must be said that the TES bot lane combination of Zeri and Heimerdinger is truly formidable. With the turrets from Heimerdinger, the Sivir and Yuumi on EDG’s side had no way to contest, and lane priority remained firmly in their opponent's hands.

At nine o'clock sharp, Li Nian clocked in. Taking advantage of the manager's absence, she dumped her bag at her desk, carried her noodles to the breakroom, and finished them in five minutes.

Fu Xingyuan sat at the round table, opened the plastic bag, took out a bowl of braised beef noodles in a disposable transparent plastic container, peeled off the lid, and tore open the packaging of the disposable chopsticks.

In short, the memories of the three finally stopped at the moment they defeated the world-ending Mother Goddess on the front lines of the monster war.

It was an incredibly rare weapon, possessing an extremely high attack bonus and an equally staggering agility boost.

However, what Sun Chuanfang did not know was that the battle for Nanjing was not proceeding according to his expectations. Furthermore, he was unaware that the Fengtian troops attacking the city were Han Baihang’s forces. Had he known this, he might have reconsidered his position.

When he first read this passage, Lin Yan felt his muscles trembling. If it was as he suspected, that madman had bestowed such insane love upon him—love so heavy it left him nearly suffocated.

Forcing Ye Qilin back alone was something Xu Changyin could do, as could Ye Tian or Bai Youyou; that was nothing special.

He performed the task exceptionally well. Even though the two of them were already flushed with embarrassment in their current position, he did not forget to remind her to breathe and exhale time and time again.

It was a burst of truly soul-shaking demonic energy; the intensity of the aura was so great that even Qin Tian felt suffocated.

After all, most patients do not care about the root cause; there are far too many people who follow the crowd without understanding the situation.

If it weren't for the fact that Fengtian City was currently such a mess, and that Li Jinglin held tens of thousands of well-rested troops, Marshal Zhang Zuolin would have been eager to take him down. But as it stood, who could help it when the man held such power?

Yet, just as he was about to mobilize his forces to resist, a regiment at the front had completely collapsed. Even more incredibly, the enemy had launched a charge at that very moment.

Moreover, Yuan Qingzhu had grown quite a bit through this collaboration. She believed that given more time, she would become a designer capable of handling things on her own.

However, Yuan Zhen now held a strong hand and enjoyed the deep trust of the Emperor, making it no easy task to bring him down.

"Better not to go; what we have now is enough." Zheng Shuguang pulled Zhong Xiwang closer, kissing her brows, eyes, and nose with tenderness, and finally her lips, with infinite affection contained within.

"Teacher Qiu, I have always admired you! Could you give me an autograph?" This was Zhou Taiyue.

Wu Mian opened his mouth, wanting to deny it outright, but he had already confessed without realizing it when the other party called him; he couldn't even offer a rebuttal.

Because time was limited, they could not perform any highly difficult music. In the end, Carl decided on the type of piece they would play: a nursery rhyme from Spain.

Later, the siblings learned that their grandmother's remark about the resemblance was referring to how that younger sister looked like their great-grandmother.

Yun Ge sighed. Why was it one thing after another? When would she ever be able to live a life of leisure and ease?

Just as Wu Mian was thinking about whether to call and ask, Fang Jie sent a text message saying he had something urgent to attend to and told him to go on his own, even including the address for him.

Furthermore, he preferred that the Emperor remain devoted to the Empress—no, exclusively doted on the Empress. As for the life or death of the other concubines, it was of no concern to him; keeping Bai Yuexiang as the favorite in the inner palace was the long-term strategy.

Pearl suddenly realized that the Empress had already made up her mind long ago. However, when she heard the Empress mention having one of her own arms removed, her body shuddered violently. She never wanted to taste that kind of horror and agony again for as long as she lived.
