Volume 1, Chapter 26: Greetings to the Marchioness

"If I were drained by you, would I end up the same way?" Qin Guan’s face turned cold. He tightened his grip on his sword, and the silver luster of the Thunder Absolute Sword grew even more intense, with blue electric arcs darting wildly across its surface.

These Hu tribesmen rode their horses in such a wild, galloping frenzy that no one could catch them. Zhao Si had no choice but to give up. He left over thirty thousand men to hold the position and led seventy thousand toward the eastern front to join forces with Zhong Shizhong against Wanyan Zongwang.

"Chuchu, did your uncle tell you what time he would be home tonight?" An Wen asked, looking at Chuchu tenderly.

Bu An nodded and had Song Shitian lead him out of the county seat’s north gate, taking a detour toward Quanzhou Prefecture.

The Song siblings were already accustomed to Bu An’s resourcefulness, but Yang Xiu, having been shocked enough for one night, felt even more terrified upon hearing these three consecutive questions.

Chu Mei was also a bit confused, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly. Before she could ask, Miller had already done what a senior should.

Gamblers who are losing always crave a win, and they always believe they will win the next round. This is often when a gambler’s eyes turn red with obsession. An Wen understood this well, having experienced it himself in the past.

"Ha! You girl still has such poor judgment. Anyone could see that man looks like absolute scum." With that, to the astonishment of those nearby, the loli pulled a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, took a puff, and blew a graceful ring of smoke.

Mei Qing watched the two of them from the side, feeling a sudden stir in her heart. Were they truly this loving and happy? Even if they were siblings, could nothing stop their love?

Ami was indeed a bit dark, but her skin was incredibly smooth—the kind that even Reba and Shu Ying could not match.

Wang Taika was truly spiteful, provoking Yoona like that, which suddenly caused Yoona to drop her guard. Thinking about how she had actually taken the rumors about Wang Taika and Tiffany seriously and retaliated so earnestly, she suddenly felt as if she had been corrupted.

Two steel balls landed on Wang Lang’s shoulders, one on each side. This time, there was a loud bang, and a cloud of smoke erupted.

Seeing this scene, Bai Hanyan on the sidelines was moved, her eyes instantly moistening. She knew how difficult the journey had been for these people.

Liu Xiao’s life had settled into a fixed routine, consisting of nothing but endless scrubbing and washing every day.

Hao Junmin charged into the penalty area with the ball. Ouyang Jian stepped up to press him, but Hao Junmin’s eyes were full of disdain. He shifted the ball between his feet, leaned forward, and with a feint, shook off Ouyang Jian.

Chu Lei retreated without hesitation. Inside his office desk, he kept a handgun! He quite enjoyed target practice in his spare time, so his marksmanship was decent. He believed that if given the chance, he could turn this Red Eagle operative into a sieve.

One name was mentioned repeatedly by everyone, and every person felt a sense of pride and glory in that name.

"You are amazing." Although Fan Shan had lost, his expression remained as honest and simple as ever.

In China, many fans were accustomed to opening their phones in the morning to check sports news. They saw headlines in bold red on sites like Sohu and Sina, reporting that Sporting CP had thrashed Beira-Mar 3-0, with all three goals scored by Fang Yan. It was his first start for the team.

In December, Nanyue was no longer plagued by sweltering heat; instead, it was filled with chilly breezes, growing colder by the day. The roads were damp, and the scenery along the campus paths was lonely yet beautiful.

The Madman strode toward the Divine Mountain. His robes fluttered with a metallic clang, and he terrified the four supreme beings, truly a terrifying sight.

"No, I am also a member of the City in the Sky!" Mi Lai said stubbornly. She swung the control stick, extending two long support poles from the sides of the wing-ship to brace against the impact.

The car arrived at Wanxiang Tower, a name derived from a poetic inspiration. The ancient building was surrounded by tuberose, which bloomed all year round. The fragrance lingered throughout the structure, refreshing and pungent; when a breeze blew, the charm remained. Thus, it was named Wanxiang Tower.

Chen Feng used his phone to call Li Shun. Li Shun had this number saved, so as soon as he picked up, he knew it was Chen Feng.

After we reached an agreement, we set off immediately. After briefly asking for directions to the seafood market, we headed toward our destination.

"Front row, retreat quickly! Christie, prepare a spell." Despite the anger in his tone, the calm, bald captain was not panicked, and while directing the retreat, he found a moment to shout toward the back rows.

Master, are you okay? Your disciple misses you so much. Chen Feng cried out in his heart, and before he knew it, his face was already streaming with tears.

"Get lost!" Yang Ba roared, but it had little effect. He was sent flying by a blast from Li Long, stumbling back dozens of feet, his inner blood and qi churning.

In the distance, Yang Tian was struck by the impact and sent flying, crashing violently into a rock. A faint cracking sound followed, and Yang Tian’s robes were shattered into dust.

Magic firework shells were expensive. Even those with fewer shots cost fifty or sixty cents. The kind Grandpa Gao bought, the most expensive version with thirty-six shots, cost over a yuan each. A whole bundle like that cost at least a hundred yuan.

Now, the police had even more reason to arrest her. Seeing her clothes caught by the restraints, two officers stepped forward, handcuffed her, and led her away.

At the thought that their Young Emperor might have lost his virginity, Qin Feng felt a chill run down his back.

"Did I do something that makes you hate me? Sister Xi-xi, you can tell me, and I will change," Jing Meiqing said anxiously.

He had examined Old Master Su’s body yesterday and found that, other than his breathing being a bit weak, there were no other issues.

Seeing Li Hui slumped on the ground in such a sorry state, Ke Xixi sighed and slowly helped her up.

Having stayed in the capital for these few days, she had seen its prosperity and splendor. Da Luan grew more fond of this beautiful city, wanting to stay and put down roots here.
