To be a delivery person at this level is truly unprecedented; not only do I deliver to the door, but I practically serve it into their mouths. They had long been accustomed to washing their own clothes after bathing, but Sister Lin took their laundry basket away, leaving them so embarrassed they wanted to pounce and snatch it back. Beneath the faintly visible, exquisite collarbones and between the magnificent, towering peaks, a snowy white cleavage was vaguely discernible. In truth, the original owner spent most of her time worrying about being discovered and what to do if it happened, or agonizing over whether to give the baby away or raise it herself after it was born.

Andres led them directly to the Cabray Auction House. Before they even reached the entrance, the staff on guard spotted them from afar and hurried into the main hall to report to Bankson Cabray. Fortunately, the start of the school season at the Tanmeng City Elementary Spiritual Cultivation School had arrived, and she could finally enjoy some peace and quiet. It had to be said that the Lamoris family still held significant influence in Tanmeng City. Even though the main branch had moved away years ago, they still held many assets in the city. Along the way, Joseph provided her with a rough overview, introducing the properties belonging to Malolo in even greater detail.

Left behind, Song Xiujuan stood dazed for a while until several well-meaning strangers who were unaware of the truth came over to offer consolation, at which point she let out a cry. Nearby, Liu Feng’s gaze suddenly froze, for the half-moon jade pendant before him was identical to the one worn around Zhou Ruoxi’s neck. Ji Shaotian’s mind was filled with doubts. It was only then that he took a closer look at the black sedan and realized it was an Audi with local plates—a license plate number he knew all too well.

"Very well, since you’ve said so, I’ll order the jade fish balls. I’ve always loved them; it’s been such a long time since I last had them, and I’ve been craving them for ages." Perhaps one day, I will grow old within the Xuanyuan household, or perhaps I will die fighting blood and bone for the Xuanyuan clan.

"I haven’t said anything disrespectful," Qiao Ruyi said, watching Lu Shun’er’s face flush red. She smiled faintly and continued, "I was merely stating the truth. Everyone knows Mother curses me at home every single day—not a day goes by without it. If Mother has forgotten, we can go outside and let everyone be the judge." The man sitting upright on the stone finally opened his eyes. They were clear and bright, and even in the darkness of night, they shimmered like black jewels, captivating to behold.

Brother Lu Qing never expected to meet such a striking cousin. Ever since Qiao Ruyi walked in, he had been full of silent praise, and now, hearing her call out "Cousin" in such a soft voice, he was so overjoyed he didn't know what to do, just staring at her blankly with his mouth agape. Ye Lingyue worried about Shi Huan, fearing that his unstable temperament might lead him astray, making it impossible to turn back once he took the wrong path.

Er Gou was stunned and heartbroken. After five years of friendship, Luo Daguang was actually glaring at him with a flushed face, as if he were a mortal enemy. An hour later, a group of several hundred men without banners rode out of the West City Gate, galloping toward the capital. Shi Hao called Wu Yi to consult about genetic modification. Wu Yi agreed to help him apply under the name of the Second Research Institute. With the Second Research Institute soon to merge with Haoshi Bionic Technology, it was only natural to proceed with the genetic modification of Wang Youcai and Xu Wucheng.

Nan Yu needed to stay in bed for a long time, and since Wang Xinyu was a chatterbox, Nan Yu had already gained a comprehensive understanding of her current environment. Wang Xinyu was a skin therapist. After returning home and packing her luggage, Yan You went to her father’s company. She had moved out of Mo Yishen’s place entirely on her own initiative, and neither her father nor Uncle Mo were aware of it.

"Because our weapons won't last until the fifth day," Ray said vaguely to Mike. After speaking, he stood up and used his foot to erase the sketches on the ground. In the blink of an eye, the ghost-masked men surged forward like a tidal wave, and the two sides immediately clashed in battle. Whether you acknowledge me as your brother or not, you will always be my sister—my own sister forever.

The next moment, he released the object, revealing a set of silver needles. Seeing this, Physician Chu was startled and wanted to step in to stop him, but upon second thought, he held back. He had heard Jiang Min say before that Li Xin possessed incredible medical skills. The Russian economy was depressed; while those in big cities had it better and could generally find work, in remote areas, it was truly impossible to survive. That was why so many people were being brought over from the Russian side that year.

I never expected the aftereffects of the "Immortal’s Drunkenness" to be so potent; it actually knocked out a man like me, who could usually drink a thousand cups without getting tipsy. I wonder what time it is now? The human finally stopped, but had fallen unconscious. Only then did the golden monkey approach to help him up and lean him against the stone bed.

"Why are you following me? Get back up there!" Ray quickly stopped in his tracks and shouted at Ryuzawa Miki. Meanwhile, Lin Ruoshui, who had yet to recover from the shock, was astonished to find that Quan Quan had already arrived before her, his massive fist pointed at the tip of her nose.

"Mom? Who is your mom? Who are you?" Mo Nianhua asked very seriously and sternly over the phone to Mo Zixuan. Rong Xin had not expected Ye Bingyin to ask such a question, but since she had, he felt it necessary to explain.

"That’s true!" the burly man who had spoken earlier scratched his head sheepishly, looking rather foolish.

"If you’ve got guts, don't run!" the two assassins finally uttered their first words since getting out of the car. Yang Yang glanced at Yang Bo indifferently, not intending to blame him, for he knew that even if all the Yang family guards were present, they could not have blocked the path of those men in black.

Tang Cheng was dumbfounded. Damn it, wasn’t this the description of the scroll that had been ignored in his inventory for months? Could this also be a part of those scrolls?

In truth, Mo Wushuang was suffering in silence. It wasn’t that she didn’t object to this blind date, but she felt that opposing it publicly would make Yan Muyang lose too much face, so she chose to remain silent. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to object, but she didn’t know how to do so.

After hearing Xiao Chen’s words, Rhode and Nori felt slightly relieved. As long as the princess was safe, they would not argue; to leave the Yaxun Forest safely, they had to rely on Xiao Chen’s power.

However, he had underestimated the reckless spirit within the lower ranks of the Japanese army. Moreover, the various units refused to yield to one another. As a result, the six hundred or so soldiers of the Independent Mixed Eighth Brigade became arrogant, thinking the 114th Division was nothing special after all—to think they had been beaten to such a sorry state by a few hundred men and still had the face to come asking for help!
