Volume 1, Chapter 57: Rumors Abound

In his heart, Li Yao was gentle, kind, and well-read—someone he had worked hard to win the hand of. Only a young lady like her was worthy of a scholar like himself. Yet, upon discovering that Li Yao was ruthless at heart and full of schemes, and looking at her anew, he felt she was nothing special after all. She was no different from those village women who schemed day in and day out. He realized he had misjudged her.

"I still prefer the old you. So gentle, so kind... How did you become like this?"

Li Yao: "I haven't changed. Husband, I truly haven't changed, please believe me. I will never do such things again. We still have Rouxi, we still have Han'er..."

She wept...

Sweeping over his hands, watching as his purple flames gradually enveloped Xiao Yan's body, any outsider seeing this would certainly have mistaken it for a type of Heavenly Flame.

Raichu's hand slowly sensed the temperature rising inside Arcanine's mouth, and finally, a blast of flame erupted from Arcanine's mouth, striking Raichu directly and engulfing it in the raging inferno.

"Sister Ziling is still the best. Look at what she says. Big brother knows now, I'll train hard from now on, thank you." Optimus Prime raised his head with a grateful expression, looking up at Sister Ziling as he replied.

When he wasn't mistaking me for Yuxuan, acting all serious, he didn't seem quite so annoying after all.

Over twenty days had passed since the great fire in the capital. Envoys from various nations had arrived successively. The delegation from the Loulan Kingdom consisted of Lan Si and Lou Lingcheng; Eastern Ling was represented by Lan Fan; while the Yan Kingdom sent the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Crown Prince's consort, Lou Xingluo. They were all old acquaintances, so this drama promised to be quite spectacular.

Upon seeing the young man, Nanny Gui and Hua Yue exchanged smiles and dismissed everyone so that the brother and sister could speak freely.

In the VIP seating area, the patriarch and the three elders were all startled, immediately casting their gazes toward the Second Elder, Zhou Kun. To their disappointment, however, Zhou Kun's expression remained as calm as still water, offering no explanation to anyone.

True journalism should expose the essence of reality, rather than relying on sensationalist clickbait headlines to grab attention! These principles were engraved in our minds while we were at school, and upon entering society, we must not abandon our principles out of fear of powerful forces! Since darkness is hidden beneath a calm and peaceful exterior, let the light shine in.

On this day, he had just mediated the largest conflict in the martial arts world in nearly a decade, accepting the heartfelt gratitude and praise of the thirteen major sects of Huaiyang, and drinking a full six catties of genuine Luzhou Daqu wine they had specially prepared for him.

The prison guards on duty were drinking wine, eating meat, and laughing merrily, truly living at ease. The rich aroma of the wine drifted into Drunk Xiaoyao's nose, stirring the alcohol cravings in his belly and making his mouth water profusely.

"It is not bitter. During Master's absence, this disciple was deeply cared for by Senior Qiyun and Senior Luo. Now that I am able to see Master again, this disciple feels immensely comforted," Hua Feiwu hurriedly explained.

The longsword swept horizontally, aiming directly for the gap beneath the helmet, but was intercepted midway by a fist striking the middle of the blade, ultimately returning with nothing accomplished.

Tianyou and Ye Yumang were doing relatively well, perhaps because of their worldly backgrounds, but Qingqing was different. As a proud favored child of heaven, she had never experienced the mundane mortal world. Now, gazing at the colorful dishes covering the entire table, her eyes froze in astonishment.

The great zombie, well aware of the opponent's profound cultivation, did not dare to underestimate him. After letting his subordinates march to their deaths earlier, he had already circulated a profound cultivation technique of the zombie race.

These hundreds of rushing immortals, blocked by the grand formation, had long since lost their patience. Seeing billions of soldiers and generals charging to attack them without holding back, they unleashed various supreme killing arts, annihilating a large majority of the billions of troops in a single instant.

His floating body hung suspended in the sky, his brow furrowed as he carefully scrutinized the surrounding scenery.

The Immortal Lord Tianxuan nodded and took out the Bodhi tree branch left behind by the deceased Bodhisattva Baoshu. This Bodhi tree branch was lush and dewy, as if freshly snapped from the tree. It looked utterly ordinary, but when held in the hand of Immortal Lord Tianxuan and gently waved, it possessed the mighty power to shake the void.

"Of course I am not tricking you. Although I need your help, the human world really is that wonderful. You decide for yourself! If you are willing, that is up to you, and I won't strike you with lightning again," said Liu Yi.

The black mist entangling his right hand writhed and shifted incessantly like an enraged entity. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and ponder a countermeasure.

This was the Hunter Exam, a brutal trial where, aside from oneself, everyone else could become a target and an opponent.

A blue wave erupted, and the Orc General, having leaped far away, was still struck by the water-elemental battle-aura shockwave.

These longbowmen had no time to flee before they were decapitated, hacked to death, trampled by horses, or slain by the infantry charging up from behind.

Only, it remained unknown what kind of storyline the current level 45 Lava Tribe instance had evolved into.

Amidst the casters' various speculations and the like, the ten members of the JDG and RNG teams officially descended onto the Summoner's Rift.

Before the player could finish speaking, a player wearing a black robe and a mask descended from the sky, the crystal-ice bone scythe in his hand instantly catching everyone's attention.

Yet Zhao Guoqiang, entirely absorbed in his work, remained oblivious to the psychological fluctuations of this "factory belle."

However, it must also be pointed out that Sima Yi's intelligence was undoubtedly high; it was impossible for him not to see that the promise regarding "Chenliu City" was a trap specifically laid for him.

The [Kha'Zix] controlled by Su Ze made intimate contact with the wall with a heavy thud, failing to appear at the [Red Buff] location as expected.

Once this strategy for conquering the north was finalized, both Xiapi City and the three commanderies of Jiangdong were set into motion once again. Every city operated at maximum capacity, frantically recruiting soldiers and gathering supplies to prepare for war.

On the wedding day, red lanterns and festive decorations hung everywhere. The prime minister's son taking a wife and the general's sister getting married naturally caused a sensation throughout the entire city. On the bridal night, the newlyweds entered the nuptial chamber. As it turned out, the method to break the Love-at-First-Sight Gu was to consummate the marriage. The next day, when Liu Siheng woke up from his sleep and saw Ji Shumin sleeping beside him, he was so startled that he tumbled right off the bed.
