Volume One, Chapter 52: The Matriarch Qin Encounters Yang Qianrou and Her Party
Although Yu Huan's stamina was more than enough, it would still be quite nice if she could punch the clock and leave work early.
Qiao Hui happily held her phone, opened the livestream, connected to a video call with Xiao Xuan, and began broadcasting the magnificent array of delicacies on the spot. Sure enough, Zhao Xiang heard a sharp scream of "Wow~" coming from through Qiao Hui's phone, followed by Xiao Xuan's frantic and envious complaints.
Even though his scalp tinged with numbness, what needed to be done still had to be done. As previously agreed, Kakashi assigned opponents to everyone: he would take on Might Guy himself, have the three Anbu operatives hold down Tsunade, and leave the remaining people to choose their own targets, all for the purpose of luring this group of experts away and clearing the defensive perimeter around Yakumo.
Furthermore, when Kobe Bryant chose to make his comeback against the Toronto Raptors after rupturing his Achilles tendon, it undoubtedly carried profound significance.
The cardboard cake itself was no longer important; Dwight Howard signified that being soft was what mattered most. In addition, some people used special spellings to imply that Dwight Howard was a coward.
That day in front of the palace, Zhang Mizhi had subjected Sima Lian to a biting sarcasm that left him utterly devoid of face, and he surely would not forget it.
Having heard about the other's background, Roger's anger subsided considerably as he slowly leaned back against the backrest and listened with patience.
"However, if there comes a time in the future when I need your help with something, I hope you won't refuse," Su Xi said once more.
The battle at the Sima Gate was raging fiercely, while within the inner palace, Yu Mao and the others saw that Xun Shang was stalling on his surrender and decided to drag things out no longer.
"As long as A-Yu is fine, that's all that matters." Roger breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he become aware of a soreness all over his body, accompanied by a dizzy and swollen head with a sensation as if it were about to burst.
After Wen Ranran administered emergency treatment to the soldier, Liu He had already brought two rescue soldiers carrying a stretcher to take them to the camp tents.
This was not a simple matter of "better to commit no merits than to risk errors," but rather a requirement that the hospital must be responsible for its patients. After all, the treatment methods they currently adopted were backed by countless clinical trials, confirmed to be effective, and carried an extremely low level of risk.
In the living room, Chi Jingsheng was sitting on the sofa talking on the phone with Duan Yi. Upon seeing her, his stern and detached face instantly softened as he beckoned to her with a wave of his hand.
With a poised and steady demeanor, Song Ruibai walked toward Gu Mingye. Stopping only when he was within a single step's distance from him, Song Ruibai leisurely adjusted his suit trousers and seated himself unhurriedly beside Gu Mingye.
Ran Yingjie had a straightforward and heroic personality, yet he also possessed a delicate and tender side; he loved painting and enjoyed appreciating all kinds of artworks.
Having merely completed their studies at the Imperial Academy, with their official careers looking bleak and having yet to find any other paths, they could only rely on Fang Congzhe's fellow-provincial connections to try their luck at Zhang Jing's residence.
The confusion, frankness, and bewildered expression on that face could not possibly be feigned. Furthermore, before carrying out their mission in Calvia, Holler and Oren had already reviewed the data concerning this AI named "Moon."
However, for the present, perhaps only he, the person directly involved, going out would be of any use; otherwise, by the time Jun Wuji returned, the sect would undoubtedly be in complete chaos.
Meeting the dark-eyed assassin's gaze abruptly, Wen Ranran clenched her fists tightly, her eyes suffused with a deep and chilling murderous intent.
Just as her feet touched the ground and she had barely taken a breath, the sound of tearing wind arose behind her, and a fleeting sword light came rushing toward her.
Dodging this way and that, he finally spotted an opportunity and launched a very simple attack, instantly blinding both eyes on one of its heads. The sea monster opened its massive mouth and wailed, which in turn caused its other five heads to bare their fangs and emit a series of frantic, discordant barks of varying pitches and tones.
"Speaking of which, when I was in the Source Realm, I actually ran into Lolita," Alan suddenly recalled an experience from the Spirit Weapon Realm. For some reason, Alan could not help but associate Lolita's words with the strange upheaval that had occurred in the Realm of Dance and Music.
Although Liao Fan had mentally prepared himself long ago, he was still somewhat dumbfounded upon witnessing the actual situation.
Li Ziyuan had already made up his mind that this batch of grain must be secured by all means. This concerned not only his own troops, but also significantly easing the burden on the people in the base area, and even ensuring that the troops of the entire military sub-district could live through the days as comfortably as possible and survive the most difficult spring famine of the coming year.
Shangguan Zisu gave a wave of her large sleeve, extinguishing the obstructive lamp in the room, then took Lin Meiwan's hand and lay down side by side.
Ye Liaoyuan pointed into the darkness, and just as the Dark Moon Envoy was about to take advantage of his lack of preparedness to strike, he unexpectedly found himself surrounded by flames that gradually devoured him.
Having lost all faith, they returned to the Dragon Valley, perhaps realizing that leaving everything unattended was the best possible outcome and historical trajectory.
Murong Zhi flexed her wrists slightly. The wound on her palm was slowly stopping to bleed and beginning to coagulate, though a sense of pain still lingered from the movement, making her gaze toward Qing Ruifan burn with even greater fury.
Just as Wan Jiuzhou thought he was completely safe, a figure suddenly flashed across overhead. Within just a few breaths, Li Tianyou caught up to Wan Jiuzhou. Greatly alarmed, Wan Jiuzhou decided to fight it out with Li Tianyou to the bitter end, instantly concentrating all the true Qi in his Dantian onto his palms.
He Chenxi's thoughts were instantly exposed by Feng Ruolin, making her feel a little embarrassed and somewhat restless. Confirming her own guess, the corners of Feng Ruolin's lips curled up into a gentle smile.
Bai Jie paused for a long moment, a trace of hidden emotion flashing through her eyes. Instead of directly pushing Liang Yi away, she took the initiative to respond to Liang Yi's passionate kiss, her slender and graceful arms slowly wrapping around Liang Yi's neck as she closed her eyes with a hint of allure.
"Why are you drinking so anxiously?" Mo Shangqian sat nearby and gently patted Nie Qianqian's back, helping her catch her breath, though his expression clearly showed a deep sense of heartache.
According to what the two had discussed, Wang Jie was only entitled to four million, making this acquisition a case of empty-handed acquisition for him! Nevertheless, Chen Cijun still transferred five million to his account.
Hearing her offer an apology to her with such unreserved openness, Murong Siyue found it almost unbelievable. She could not fathom what Murong Xiangxue had been through over the years, but she truly had changed a great deal.
He Chenxi had still been somewhat dazed when she was woken up by the ringing phone, but after being fussed over like this, her sleepiness gradually dissipated.
"Mr. Ruan?" Qin Shengshen thought carefully and duly remembered that Ruan Zhentian's complexion had indeed looked somewhat unpleasant just moments before.
