He drifted toward Yue Chong like a willow catkin caught in the breeze, light and devoid of any force.

Many of the high-ranking officials at the head of the hall frowned slightly; they assumed Zhang Kuang was insatiable and trying to take advantage of the situation to demand better terms, which they found greedy.

This medicinal pill had caused the Fire Demon Physique’s cultivation to soar in a short time. Normally, it would have reverted to its original level once the effect wore off, but due to his unique constitution, Hu Shifu had managed to seize the opportunity to break his Ice Demon Physique through to the fourth-star level of the Heaven Realm, dragging the Fire Demon Physique up with it.

As she spoke, Xia Yingying tried to pull away from Brother Biao’s arm, but he grabbed her by the hair and yanked her back. The pain made her wince, yet she dared not cry out.

"I was wrong, I was wrong..." The bespectacled man endured the agony. Just as Du Fei raised his fist, the man plopped to his knees and knocked his head against the ground three times. By the time he looked up, Du Fei had already led Tang Ning toward the inside of the studio.

Perhaps emboldened by having someone to back him, the way he looked at Lin Feng was no longer filled with fear, but rather a hint of contempt and disdain.

Tang Zheng wanted to arrive early to prepare for the assessment and, incidentally, catch a glimpse of the scenery in Fog City.

In those years, the Hundred-Flower Demon Spider had successfully gained the recognition of the Immortal Ascension Platform and was considered one of the most promising candidates to attain immortality. Naturally, she had entered the Ancient Immortal Secret Realm, and she possessed a much more thorough understanding of it.

Among them, even the strongest, the Old Master, was only at the fifth or sixth level of the Saint Realm. Regardless of Haotian’s formidable combat power—which was largely derived from the fortune of the Heavenly Emperor and other means—his true cultivation was merely at the half-step Primordial stage.

In fact, it wasn't just Cheng Guoqiang who was being pressured to marry; Cheng Hongbing and Zhang Xing were in the same boat. Annoyed by the constant badgering, they visited less frequently, fearing the inevitable question: "Do you have a partner yet?"

After the couple talked for a while, since it was still early, Yang Yongan took a shovel to pile up soil in the wasteland.

Although these industries were insignificant to the great families that had survived the zombie apocalypse, Xu Qingyun still moved against them.

Observing his posture, Xu Qingyun knew that the third brother before him was nothing more than a target-practice dummy in the secular world, at most a third-level Postnatal martial artist. In Xu Qingyun’s era, such a person would be considered a mere mortal.

Although her son would only wear this wedding attire once, Mrs. Zhang still wanted to make it as perfect as possible.

However, the firecrackers of this era were limited in power due to the black powder inside, serving only to intimidate the enemy troops.

"I’m going to cook. What do you want to eat tonight?" He Pei’er rose to tidy the bedding and pushed Xia Lin out of the room.

The two men and two horses were entangled, circling and fighting in a melee. Once the mace lost the momentum of the charging steed, its lethality was greatly diminished. Zhang Fei, meanwhile, wielded his Serpent Spear with increasing agility and finesse; after fewer than fifty rounds, he had completely dismantled his opponent.

"Master Carpenter Sun isn't bad, but he certainly can't compare to Jianguo’s relatives. Sun Yi is fine for making basic furniture, but the work from Jianguo’s relatives must be the kind only the wealthy can afford," Grandpa Cheng speculated, based on his past experience.

"Enough, Nanny. It’s just a eunuch, isn't it? You know how much I despise those eunuchs. Furthermore, I even spoke a kind word for him, and yet he dared to ignore me. Does he really expect me to curry favor with him?" the Empress said with a look of disgust.

Li Yunmu searched the cave for a long time; he had to retrieve the seal to leave the formation, otherwise, he would be trapped there forever.

Xiao Yuyin sighed. How could she not worry? Everything was piling up, and it was exhausting just to think about it. In five days, she would leave the capital. What excuse could she use to make Nalan Heng give up, so he wouldn't miss her or come looking for her?

She suddenly remembered that in historical dramas, the male protagonists who were princes were often treated coldly by their fathers, usually as a way to protect them. Perhaps Nalan Xiao was the same?

Zhao Ang intended to re-enter officialdom after resigning. If he refused the court’s selection this time, it appeared that government positions would be saturated after this round, and he would have to wait for the next vacancy. Even Yang Biao couldn't secure him a position in the short term.

"It’s okay, I’m fine." Bai Yaochu’s eyes flickered. He deliberately avoided the question and only smiled at her.

This was not Xiao Yuyin’s first time at the palace; it was just as convoluted as before. There were places people could walk through, but carriages could not, so they both disembarked.

The cost of the excess floor area plus the renovation would be at least 100,000 yuan. Where would she get that kind of money?

Li Xiaohui woke Mother Li, and the three of them went to the beach. There were many tourists there that afternoon.

Zhou Yu and Cao Cao pitted their wits against each other in the Dantu area. Although their forces were not large, the battle was quite spectacular. Even though Cao Cao was unaccustomed to naval warfare, he had stockpiled a large amount of grain in Dantu beforehand to prevent his supply lines from being cut. Even when Zhou Yu blocked the river, he could do nothing to stop Cao Cao for the time being.

Counting it up, he and the Lord of the Reincarnation Path were in the same line of work—both working in the underworld. The difference was that he was still working for Mother Earth, while the Lord of the Reincarnation Path had already established his own foundation.

This was the first time they had campaigned across the heavens; both Link and the Grand Sage Legion needed to accumulate experience and refine their coordination.

When Song Yue heard 381’s voice in her head, she steadied herself, though her face remained pale. She clutched the avatar of 381 and hid behind a pillar.

But the light was poor at that moment, and Su Qian did not notice. She gave a huff and twisted the handle of the electric scooter again.

The situation was rushed, so Dean Forrest only settled Link and Molly into a vacant villa without further instructions.

The other party truly offered a condition he could not refuse. When Tang Yin saw them produce a spirit bone, he felt his resolve waver.

Tong En lay on the bed, the dizzy sensation slowly fading. She opened her eyes to see Zhong Yue’s anxious, worried face. She smiled apologetically at him, her heart still pounding wildly.

Everything was prepared, and at 7:30 that evening, the group stormed into the restaurant as if they were raiding a house.

In Dafeng Village, the villagers captured Xu Huan and Jia Ren together, and in the dead of night, they secretly drowned them in a pig cage.
