25 Intimacy

The man was not very tall, and he had to stand on tiptoe to lean over the counter. With thick glasses perched on his nose and a whimsical expression on his face, he looked rather comical. Duanmu Qing glanced at him, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

Lei Chen rubbed his forehead helplessly and simply turned his head away to avoid the sight, but he inadvertently noticed Long Qianxing looking solemn and listening intently to something.

"Oh, right, thank you for the reminder, cousin." Ling Qi then realized she hadn't greeted her elders yet, which was a bit impolite. Cleverly taking leave of Young Master Heng, she scurried away.

Pretending not to see Nuanxiang, she led Qingxue straight into the room and found Jun Shan and Jun Lin had already arrived, though Jun Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

Meng Qi looked at the light amidst the carnage, feeling curious. What could it be?

With a yelp of pain, the man was beaten to the ground before he could even offer any resistance; it was simply invincible.

Moreover, that rich soil probably wouldn't stay covered for long. The mountain didn't belong to her family alone. Once the villagers found out, they would surely swarm the mountain to dig up the rich soil and scatter it over their fields.

The sword energy dissipated quietly about two yards away from Yun Chuan, leaving behind five deep, albeit narrow, fissures torn into the ground.

Watching the Black Skeleton accelerate toward him, the zombie made no attempt to dodge. The moment the Black Skeleton brushed past, it reached out and grabbed the rear of the vehicle.

Xu Taiping picked up his phone and saw it was a call from Jia Le, the leader of the Huaxia delegation.

Qi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and with the help of the evaluation system of the Supreme System, he scanned the area to investigate.

The Twelfth Supreme Elder, Yu Tianhua, whose spatial domain was legendary throughout history, was three hundred years older than the Ninth Supreme Elder. With Yu Tianhua present, even the White Crane tribe, with their innate talent for spatial laws, would find it difficult to escape.

Furthermore, although the number of Chinese server players trapped by the spatial barrier—like Dongfang Shitian and the others—was not large, far fewer than those trapped from other major servers, every one of them was an expert, with many being super-experts. Most importantly, there was an eight-headed serpent, so wiping out all the enemies within the barrier was not a problem.

"Are you satisfied with this outcome?" After watching Supervisor Thomas being dragged away, Tony asked Qi Yu respectfully with a fawning smile.

It was this kind of destructive and chaotic magic that rendered the plan to control the images within the Primordial Crystal a mere fantasy; Qiao Xiu didn't even know where to begin.

Xiri calmly posted a funny emoji under a thread titled, "Dean Rulersk, Please Forgive Me."

Tang Zhong leaned forward and whispered something into Huang Junyi's ear before retreating to sit on the sofa, watching the shifting expressions on Huang Junyi's face.

"Thank you, Uncle Master!" Meng Hao cupped his hands and bowed. At this moment, he truly regarded this uncle, who seemed elusive but was actually noble and kind-hearted, as an elder.

"Yes!!" A dozen or so security guards acknowledged the order, immediately surrounding the area and driving the rowdy fans toward the exit.

Hearing this, Huizhu straightened her expression. These noble ladies referred to the ladies of the Ulanara, Niohuru, Li, and Song clans in the palace, as well as the Thirteenth Prince's consort, Lady Longkodo, and Lady Fuca outside the palace. Nothing sent to them could be handled carelessly or dismissively.

Hearing this, Lu Xiang hurriedly followed behind Wang Simeng. Wang Simeng turned left and right, and Lu Xiang followed suit, though he had no idea where he was, just blindly rushing forward.

That day, almost every restaurant in Jiankang ceased business, having been booked by the two families. They were busy preparing thousands of banquet tables, eating from noon until dusk, waiting for the moment of the wedding. It was the first time Jiankang had seen both the groom's and bride's families equally busy.

"Have you ever thought about finding your father?" Yan Yixin held her tightly; the warmth of his embrace always made her feel comforted.

While meditating, Cihang suddenly heard the words of Jie Yin in his ears. He thought to himself, 'The Sect Leader has never sought me out before; why would he summon me today? Is something the matter?' With that, he hurried toward the direction of Jie Yin.

A force of Qin soldiers had appeared out of nowhere, attacking dozens of tribes over the past ten days and turning the entire prairie upside down. At first, Xubu Juci Yun Ting was skeptical when two soldiers who had escaped reported encountering Qin soldiers, thinking they were perhaps just a new band of horse bandits, and didn't take it to heart.

Continuing to circle the Lin residence, Lu Ming kept searching for the best entry point. However, the residence occupied a vast area, and it took Lu Ming nearly half an incense stick's time to reach the back gate. Even then, the back gate was guarded by over ten men, all looking formidable.

Yinzhen looked at Yunli with an unfathomable expression, then turned and sat back down on the kang. Yunli gave Hongli a reassuring nod, then walked stiffly into the room and clearly recounted the events of the Lantern Feast on the twenty-second day of the eighth lunar month.

Shame, it was absolutely the greatest humiliation for the Xiongnu in a hundred years. Xubu Juci Yun Ting saw that the Qin force outside the city was only seven or eight thousand strong; he couldn't believe that the fool Duli Huci, with three times that number of elite cavalry, had actually been defeated and killed.

"Haha, there is one more gift." Wang Chen said, opening his palm to reveal two exquisite rings.

Although they were off course, they still had to go. Shao Shi did not hesitate and asked Yang Tao, who was looking puzzled.

In an instant, thunder roared and lightning intertwined; the two were locked in a fierce exchange, clashing with their physical bodies. At that moment, the God Emperor's body awakened automatically, and the combat scenes once etched into his being were activated.
