36 Traveling Back to the Qing Dynasty (36)
After more than a month of busyness, things have finally settled down. As for the wedding photos, those will have to wait until April; the current lingering winter chill is simply too biting. Going to take wedding photos in this weather would be an act of self-torture.
"I said I would spare you, but I never said I would set you free," Liu Badao said with a look of feigned bewilderment, as if he truly could not fathom why Ye Shitian failed to grasp the distinction between being spared and being set free.
Yang Wei’s tongue felt thick as he spoke, yet he looked at Liu Badao with undisguised admiration.
The old man had suddenly changed his tune, actually offering Zhang Guodong a chance? Zhang Guodong was stunned. A test?
"He Shang? Do you use a scale for your dealings? If so, then it should be: check the scale when buying, check the scale when selling, and check the scale when buying and selling." Xu Ziling laughed heartily at the question.
Old Cao had a deep understanding of flowers and trees. As soon as the people who thought it was a lost cause dispersed, he squeezed in and pulled out a magnifying glass to inspect them.
"Fine!" Zhang Guodong went upstairs, followed by Zhao Wu, who wore a look of impatience and kept grumbling. Zhang Guodong gave him a cool glance and said, "This bedroom is a private space. Wait outside!" Without waiting for Zhao Wu to react, Zhang Guodong stepped inside, closed the door, and emerged again in the blink of an eye.
Yuanshi pursed his lips. "You foodie, only thinking about eating. We wouldn't die if we didn't eat. That chicken stuff is very expensive; Tongtian doesn't even care that you don't earn money easily." Seeing Yuding working every day, Yuanshi felt sorry for him, and after learning about the general cost of living, he also felt that life was not easy.
Tongtian was overjoyed. Eighty years! I have finally waited for this day. That peacock has a heart. Yuding, this child, I haven't cared for him in vain after all.
Only by defecting to the wealthy Master Wan, who held a deep grudge against the Young Master's Mansion, could Sun Bu'er escape the torment of restless nights for the rest of his life.
His words were inexplicable. The fans in the audience took several seconds to process them; there were no screams, no whistles, only a sea of faces filled with expectation and shock.
Just as Su Nan was inwardly grumbling at the system, the blindfold over his eyes was suddenly snatched away, followed by a deafening roar.
Fell in love with whom? Mo Qianning suddenly frowned. What was she about to say just now? Why did she have no recollection of it at all?
Ye Qingcheng was born beautiful. Even though she was drenched by the rain and looked utterly disheveled, she could not hide her elegance. She extended her hand, fair as white jade, and the beggars couldn't help but stare—it was unclear whether they were looking at the silver, her hand, or other parts of her.
According to imperial regulations, the eldest legitimate son of the Crown Prince must be named Imperial Grandson at the age of ten, while younger legitimate sons and concubine-born sons were to be enfeoffed as Commandery Princes upon reaching ten.
Flames engulfed Zheng Mu'en, and he felt an intense, scorching heat. The fire was only three inches from his skin.
Even the Four-Wheel Drive Fighter on stage blushed slightly after announcing the first debate topic.
"Actually, just now, I saw the way I looked when I was kidnapped before..." Not knowing what else to say, An Ruoran could only describe it in such simple terms, though she wasn't sure if she should have said it at all.
After being shoved like that, Ping'er landed hard on the floor. It took her a long while to snap out of her daze, and she hurried to check on Wang Xifeng.
As she was thinking this, she heard the whistles of the boys rising and falling all around her.
It seemed they had encountered a formidable team of enemy special agents, all of whom spoke fluent Chinese. For a moment, she had almost mistaken them for her own side. It appeared a fierce battle was unavoidable.
The proprietress continued, "Fine, since you’ve agreed to be my sister, I will give you a few words of advice as someone who has been through it. Is there any need to hide the good deed you two just performed?"
At the same time, on the oversized widescreen rear-projection screen provided by Sony behind them, dynamic color images of the five Backstreet Boys members were displayed, while screens on both sides of the stage showed the main performers to the entire audience.
While cleaning the oil film, Lin Xi watched for a while and realized that the way the Supreme Being handled energy and space seemed to be interconnected.
"Xiang Qianjin, are your wounds alright?" asked Wu Anbang, who was sitting against the cave wall beside him.
The next second, a brilliant, auspicious glow appeared above Taiyi’s head, illuminating the dim bottom of the lake until it was crystal clear.
Lilith’s eyes moved; she and Hao Shen had shifted from standing at a ninety-degree angle to facing each other.
At this moment, a vast expanse of tribulation clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. It turned out that this action had caused Shen Xian’s aura to leak, immediately triggering the heavenly tribulation. Having advanced several levels in cultivation, the tribulation clouds this time were exceptionally dense.
"This has nothing to do with me; that big brother helped me take it off. But I must say thank you, otherwise, I would have ended up like that old ox, a mere lapdog," Zhi Zunbao said.
In reality, the hydraulic device built by the special effects team had extremely sturdy supports installed underneath, and the entire balcony scene was merely a green-screen magic space constructed three meters above the ground.
Jiang Lan gave a casual reply and couldn't be bothered with him, while Wang Luoke smoothed his hair and immediately began his hunt for beauty. Unexpectedly, his first target was Wu Xue, who was sitting there wiping her firearm, radiating a mature and sexy charm.
Suddenly, the sound of air being torn reached his ears. Naruto threw a punch without a second thought. With a boom, some unknown creature was sent flying. His fist felt warm, and it looked as if he had pierced through the creature’s body.
Seeing Yun Teng turn around, the sharp and profound gaze of his eagle-like eyes forced the person to back away, unable to get any closer. Lowering his head, he twisted his hands together, looking very uneasy.
"If it’s only twenty-some days, doesn't that mean that as soon as the old man was discharged from the hospital..." I stopped myself mid-sentence; I didn't want to discuss He Liancheng’s father too much.
Lan Ruoxin was just about to complain about why Houtian had changed back, but the moment she looked up, she saw a rare flush on Houtian’s face and an unusually burning intensity in his eyes.
