Volume 1, Chapter 61: The Poetry Gathering at the Byrne Estate

"Scheming?" Zhou Yongyi was born in the imperial palace, surrounded by schemes all his life. Hearing the word, he grew somewhat angry. "Who on earth dares to plot against you like this?"
Song Rouxi was just about to fabricate an excuse to brush it off, but remembering Song Ci's exquisite face, she instantly changed her tune, "That maid originally belonged to the third branch. To say her actions have nothing to do with my third uncle's family... I simply cannot believe it."
"Your third uncle."
With a grievance-laden tone, Song Rouxi accused, "My third uncle has had a bad temper since he was young. Lacking any talent for scholarship, he always envied my father and second uncle. Perhaps the third younger sister also resents the family elders for favoring me more, and she always treats me..."
A month is neither long nor short. The preparations for the wedding are complete, and there are three days left before the official ceremony begins.
All along, Yuan Yixiu had been an invisible figure in the Yuan family, never voicing his dissatisfaction and always enduring in silence. Hearing him suddenly express his own opinions caught everyone by surprise.
"Understood? You're just a straightforward guy," Chen Xueer smiled and shook her head, looking quite helpless.
"Chief Engineer Wu, comrades, thank you for rushing over on the first day of the Lunar New Year. You've worked hard." Commander Li saluted and shook hands with Wu Ming.
Gu Dijue kissed Molan's lips. He could no longer hold back; those few movements were simply too alluring.
He Shuya was extremely depressed because the sliver of fantasy she had been holding onto had been shattered. Now, a basin of cold water had indeed been poured fiercely over her, leaving her utterly disappointed and in deep despair.
"I'm going in. Li Shan, no matter what happens next, you must hold out until the end." Captain Lin stated calmly as he tossed a grenade toward the shooting position. Unfortunately, this grenade failed to hit Dai Taichu. Undeterred, Captain Lin wove through the smoke, signaling his approach toward Dai Taichu's position.
To put it bluntly, he was practically scared to the point of almost peeing himself. He was indeed terrified.
"I will never unleash this power of corruption and evil, nor will I ever let it defile my soul. Give up that pipedream, Melisan. Don't think I'm unaware of your intentions." Balzah's tone was resolute and decisive, while he raised his head to fix his hawk-like gaze on the other party.
"That's right, it's right here!" Looking at the desolate landscape before him, Chu Yifei nodded. In his memories, after separating his own power, he had placed it within this desolate world.
Qiuwuzong did not know the inner story, but he knew that among Wei Daode's posthumous relics, there must be a specific item that the Soul Heavenly Sect was desperately eager to acquire.

There was only one thought left in his mind—to keep absorbing continuously until Murong Changqing was sucked completely dry. As for what followed, under Murong Changqing's wave after wave of impact, he only felt as though his entire body was about to burst from within, and after that, he lost consciousness completely.
Seeing that the four of them showed no anger at her refusal, but instead directly offered help, Riko felt a trace of warmth welling up in her heart. Although Riko and Otaku and the others were friends, they weren't extremely close. Yet, despite this, the seniors had still decided to help her; how could Riko not be moved?
Perhaps because of the dream last night, Otaku's complexion did not look well at the moment.
As a form of compensation, Haiyue bestowed a large number of rewards upon Ling Yun, not only elevating him to a marquis in one fell swoop, but also granting him numerous treasures, equipment, and secret manuals. Even his father, Lin Yang, and younger sister, Lin Xue, who had long vanished from everyone's sight in Lin City, received certain rewards.
"Understood." Hearing this, Otaku recalled Sub-Lieutenant Yulia's condition and then left the reception room.
Giving instructions one after another, Zuo Wuzhong remained silent. Displaying the "Star-Shifting Technique" and "Metamorphic Soul," he completely altered his aura and appearance, heading straight for the Soul Heavenly Sect.
This clawing spring breeze blowing forth tender shoots was none other than the master of this Gauze Water Palace, the original owner of the beautiful gauze dress worn by Midou. One could call her the Mistress of Gauze Water Palace or address her as Yu Dong'er.
On the stone pavilion atop the peak, several figures sat casually. Breathing in the fragrance of wine, gazing into the golden sea of clouds in the distance, and sharing their broad aspirations, they created an extraordinarily open and expansive atmosphere.
Lin Tianxuan possessed a certain level of discernment. Combined with his past life as the last sect master of the Taishixu Sect, he had also read numerous secret scrolls and classics long lost to the world.
A cold gleam flashed in Xiao Wuxie's eyes as he suddenly exerted force with his foot. Wu Tian immediately vomited blood, let out a miserable cry, and passed out. Pulling Ling Yunxi behind him, he met the incoming attack with a punch.
Li Yunchen put away the array platform, and after consulting with each other, the two stepped into the void and charged into the Ghost Clan's territory.
"I'm just wondering how you knew the direction of my escape?" Yun Fan's gaze was calm, though a thoughtful expression lingered on his face. He was certain that no one had tracked him when he left the harbor dock.
The Xiao family had no choice but to pull out a portion of the Golden Wolf Army from Huanglong Crossing to defend against the Yuan family. Taking advantage of this, the Yan family expanded massively at Huanglong Crossing, leaving the Xiao family stretched thin and overwhelmed as they tried to manage too many fronts at once.
"It seems geniuses are everywhere within the Immortality Ascension Sect." Walking along, Lin Tianxuan kept pondering the precautions Zhou Yin had just mentioned to him.
However, the strong remained the strong. After Zhou You, he stopped pushing the Lord of Time any further, and gradually he came to understand what was truly happening.

Because he had already noticed an angry gaze in the distance, glaring up and down at him.
Yet, who would have thought that when these flames were flung onto the surrounding people, not only did they fail to extinguish, but they burned even more fiercely. In the blink of an eye, the flames had consumed the entire bodies of the three armed police officers present, igniting them in a blazing inferno.
The scientific research building stood eight stories tall and was the highest structure in the base. It was fully equipped with a complete array of high-value scientific instruments.
Had Qin Jianglan not hinted at her just moments ago by asking her to make tea, she probably really would have torn into Qingtian right then and there.
Although these creatures had undergone mutation, their intelligence had not increased by much. Seeing that they could no longer find Li Duo, they did not persist and instead scattered, beginning to search for food purely by instinct.
The colonel was not wearing a helmet; his angular, scar-covered face was filled with displeasure as he spoke to Pang Junshan.
If that was the case, and he continued to remain indifferent toward her, could she think from a different perspective?
2. Super Strength: Its immense size granted it a destructive super strength, with a 5x strength multiplier.
After exchanging pleasantries with Qingtian downstairs, Qin Jianglan went upstairs alone. Qingtian feigned departure, then quickly followed him back to watch him enter the elevator. Seeing the elevator stop on the twenty-eighth floor, she immediately took another elevator up, hid by the wall, and found Qin Jianglan standing outside room 2808, still inputting the password and not yet entered, clearly arriving just in time.
"Collective action!" Xuanlin immediately began typing on the computer, while Gu Meiqing raised her wrist to look at the screen of her watch, quietly waiting for specific assignments.
What made the company commander and Liu Xiang somewhat nervous was that he, like them, saw that Huang Rui and Huang Wei shared the same expression—expressionless and carrying a heavy, somber mood.
Qiu Shaoze collapsed onto the bed. After such a long period of ordinary peace, he was now extremely exhausted.
