Some people simply never learn from their mistakes.

The next morning, the official meeting commenced, and everyone who was supposed to return had arrived.

Chen Jiehua exchanged greetings with Okamura Neiji and entered the venue together. Noticing that his nameplate had been deliberately placed in the very corner, Chen Jiehua suddenly had a thought; instead of heading to his designated seat, he sat down directly beside Okamura Neiji.

"Uncle, why are you staring at me?"

"This is a formal meeting. It is inappropriate for you to do this. The seating is arranged according to the nameplates."

As Mu Long and Nangong Qiao watched Murong Lian instantly recover her cultivation, her aura turning sinister and her murderous intent laid bare, both felt an unexplainable panic in their hearts.

I do not know how much time passed before the two figures on the stone platform finally came to a halt, save for the fact that their bodies remained intimately intertwined.

Yet when his sharp claws and fangs bit into that student, his pupils instantly contracted.

Especially after working out together with Li Ran, the muscle definition on Li Ran's body had become exceptionally striking, making her mouth water just looking at it.

They had truly never encountered a freak like Lin Yu, who, after only two months of classes, had driven the freshman instructors to the verge of bitter smiles.

Du Yunfeng did not say much, brushing it off with a few simple words, and even took out the salary Xu Fei had given him to hand over to Du Yunfeng's mother.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, every household was busy preparing for the Lunar New Year. Ye Hongchang drove his wagon to town to purchase all the necessary provisions for the various families, delivered them accordingly, and then returned home with a dejected expression.

When Mama Liang thrust her sword toward Pei Long back then, it not only released a thick scent of blood but also exuded a delightful floral fragrance.

If everyone else's parents attended the parent-teacher conference while Su Yunling's parents failed to show up, who knew what kind of messy rumors might start circulating afterward.

Tang Luo puffed on his cigarette, originally hoping to glean some useful information from Elder Wu, such as who might have crafted it.

Shen Xi was naturally aware of their complicated thoughts, but for the moment she had no time to deal with them. Sitting alone in her room with her arms wrapped around her knees and a vacant gaze, she was deep in thought.

The touch was like an electric shock; Xing Lei's hand instantly went numb, followed by a surge of searing pain. He violently yanked his hand back and raised his head, only to be met with Wang Shang's expressionless face.

As it turned out, once-solemn vows of eternal love were worth no more than this—easily forgotten in the face of a single act of a hero saving a damsel in distress.

"When practicing deep prajna paramita, one perceives the emptiness of the five aggregates and is delivered from all suffering and distress..." A crisp, resonant chant echoed from the grand hall, belonging to a young man's voice.

He had originally intended to strike first and report later; once he had slaughtered most of the peace faction, it would be a fait accompli, and any subsequent explanations would not invite excessive condemnation.

"What are you here for?" The smile vanished from Fu Zhichu's face, while her heart fluttered with excitement.

"Han, who did you learn your cooking skills from? This tastes so delicious!" Dongfang Ling'er hugged Xuanyuan Han's arm as she watched him intently roast the wild chicken on the rack.

Huang Xian nodded vigorously and reached out to stroke Zhang硕's cheek. Zhang Shuo's spiritual projection began to dissolve bit by bit until, in the end, he looked entirely like a normal human being.

By the time she returned to the princess's palace late at night, exhausted, Qiao Xueyan pinched the bridge between her eyebrows and let out a long sigh! Originally, she had not cared much about her appearance. Even when she looked in the mirror and saw that she was not particularly pretty, she remained completely indifferent.

"Actually, when it comes to this auction for the Black Dragon Pearl and the Eye of Destruction, our clan is not entirely without the strength to fight..." Before Feng Jiuche could finish, his eyes narrowed.

A moment later, palace attendants carrying trays entered in an orderly procession, approaching the tables of the four individuals to serve the dishes.

"Indeed, the way she looked just now felt somewhat terrifying to me," Xiongxiong chimed in. Thinking about how that person had lingered in the restroom for so long solely to frame her, Xiongxiong felt a creeping chill.

Clapping his hands, three servants emerged from the other side leading fine horses, which they handed to the three of them. Mounting the horses, the three bid farewell to the crowd and galloped away toward the east.

Seated within the grand hall were several powerful figures, each an overlord dominating their own sphere in the Demonic Realm. Three of the four major demonic envoys under the Demon King, along with the eighteen slaughter deities, were all present.

Beside Su Ningyu, Helan Yao also rose, taking Su Ningyu's hand as they turned to leave.

What relation does this young physician have to His Majesty? Why is he speaking to His Majesty so casually, seemingly devoid of any respect?

He truly looked to be around twenty years old, and his cultivation base was indeed at the Earth Realm intermediate stage. Zhu Yan was not a particularly tall or bulky man; how could such a massive amount of power be contained within such a frame?

With a deafening crash, Lin Chen descended like a divine being, trampling Linyu Tian into an unrecognizable pulp where neither head nor tail could be distinguished.

"You two, why are you even more excited than I am?" Su Ningyu sat poised before the vanity, smiling helplessly as she watched Haitai and Luoluo in the mirror.

After witnessing how miserably his family had been devastated by Bai Muxi, Cui Ming's inner psyche suffered a severe trauma. This time, it wasn't Feng Yang telling him to let it go; rather, his own state of mind had completely collapsed.

Especially since her expression just now had been so amusing, Mu Xiaowan couldn't help but want to tease her a bit more.

Therefore, just as Senju Tobirama and the Second Raikage were about to sign an alliance treaty, Gold and Silver Brothers launched a coup d'état—a coup that ultimately resulted in Senju Tobirama sacrificing himself to cover his disciples' retreat.

His battle cry, amplified dozens of times over by the loudspeakers, drew the gaze of everyone present who had already abandoned hope.

It was the first time she had seen Mu Xiaowan adopt such a terrifying attitude, but regardless, this situation would still unfold differently.

Chen Xin pinched both sides of the combination lock and pressed gently. With a crisp "click," the lid of the case sprang upward by half an inch.

Even though Liu Jiangtao possessed a charismatic attribute as high as ten points, within this treacherous circle of deceit, such charm was far more likely to become the root cause of disaster for him.

This set of golden silk soft armor was impervious to blades and spears, a rare treasure indeed. However, because it could not be adjusted in size, it could only be worn by someone with a towering physique.

"A single person? A single person has you panicked to this extent, what on earth are you good for?" Elder Sha raged.

Upon hearing Rovsky's bid, Yamano Seijiro's heart skipped a beat. How could he have forgotten about this simple-minded fellow?

Jiang Zihuai was led into the courtroom. He cast an ambiguous glance at Ning Long, drawing the gaze of everyone present to his face.

With a gasp, I jolted awake. The sky was already fully bright. Panting, I looked at Heitian and Tunjiu, who were already up, and glanced at the wall clock—it was right at 8:00.

My hand gripped the hem of my shirt, and after forcing myself to look away from Xue Jin's legs, I found that my tension had eased significantly.

Having no other choice, I put away the Talisman of Begging Heaven. Then I picked up three incense sticks, ignited them, and inserted them into the censer.
