Time ticked away second by second, and the day’s filming schedule concluded perfectly. Su Wushuang led Yan Xiyue directly toward the dormitories, while Gu Xi followed behind her, hands casually tucked into his pockets. Before this, he had already downed at least three bottles of Evian mineral water. He crumpled the last empty bottle into a ball and tossed it into the vomit basin beneath the cabin’s dining table.

At this moment, the envoy from the Feather Kingdom felt as though his internal organs had been displaced; his entire body ached as if it were being torn apart, and blood kept spilling from his mouth. It wasn't that the "Treasure Team" was ruthless, but rather that their opponents were so eager to court death, repeatedly rushing headlong under their blades before they even had time to withdraw them.

Wails echoed once more. The mad youth, whose transformation had failed, ignored them, staring blankly at the horizon outside the base with a foolish grin that suddenly shifted into a piercing scream. Li Hong watched that massive dragon head, laughing non-stop along the way, remarking on how terrified a white person would be if they were to catch sight of an evil Eastern dragon.

These are the laws of nature. If one truly wished to eradicate local tyrants, it would likely take a hundred years; this is a matter of ideology, not mere form. People wondered if, much like others in this circle, they were merely a "contract couple" tethered together for the sake of fame. Although rumors had circulated that Gu Xi had proposed, for some unknown reason, he had been rejected.

Xia Yuntong was still pondering Bai Shiya’s background when she saw the woman flutter over like a colorful butterfly the moment she spotted them. The commentator’s voice had grown hoarse from shouting, and one could faintly hear the thumping of a desk being struck, evidence of his immense excitement. Furthermore, now that Gu Yuefeng had regained all his memories, there was no longer any need to remain in hiding; naturally, he chose to return.

"Your Majesty, Jing Kong said that only by meeting you in person will he reveal the names of those who participated in the framing back then. You dare not summon Jing Kong, but you are afraid in your heart—afraid that you framed your own wife, your eldest son, and the brothers who fought alongside you to conquer this empire." Gu Wang spoke sharply and coldly, showing no fear.

Although Yang Quan was the human race’s premier armored general, that was only in the context of one-on-one combat. Ever since his army entered the Western Hemisphere, they had clearly struggled with the climate, and their pace of advance had slowed considerably. Nalan Yan and Gu Pan took a carriage back to the estate. Gu Wang walked alongside Nalan Yan and Gu Pan at the palace gate, yet no one spoke a single word.

However, the way she so dominantly declared her ownership of him... it truly made his heart flutter. "She is your junior sister!" Xiao Yujing had already clenched her fists. She had spent very little time with Wu Chen, yet she had always held him in high esteem. She never imagined him to be such an unfeeling man; the noble image he had built in Xiao Yujing’s heart for so many years collapsed in an instant.

At first, Tu Hengsha only thought the idea was amusing; she never considered whether the method was actually safe or reliable. What if someone pried the lock? What if the property management company dismantled the mailbox one day?

Gently laying Yu Hanxin onto the bed, Di Lige reached out to brush the stray locks of hair from her cheek. Su Nuan’s heart grew cold. Perhaps provoked by the fact that Su Nuan and the others had successfully threatened him and escaped, Ren Xiaoyao’s madness had become increasingly apparent. To Su Nuan, he now felt like a ticking time bomb; the slightest stimulus might lead him to drag everyone down to hell with him.

Gu Pan’s expression remained unchanged as she cast a sidelong glance at General Sun, who also remained impassive, as if the words being spoken had nothing to do with him. The vast Jian family enterprise would eventually fall into Jian Chenchu’s hands; Jian Shi would never let Jian Chenchu starve.

Immediately, a faint rustling sound emerged from the tall grass, coming from all directions, like countless insects crawling through the brush. As it turned out, there was still love in this world; it simply required someone to guide it and someone to discover it. After all, He Jing was Ning Xizhou’s mother, and Jiang Qingning did not want to put him in a difficult position. Because she had begun to care, she could not remain indifferent.

Beiming Shu merely claimed that Gu Mochen was a friend from afar, and during yesterday’s banquet, he had been with their family the entire time. "I’ll be there immediately." Beiming Shu walked out, anxious and burning with impatience; the distance from Beiming Group to Jinyun was not far.

"I’m fine. Let’s head in first." Liang Ran covered her forehead, steadied herself, and pushed open the transparent glass door, leading the way into the lobby. Seeing that the battle had ended, Nangong Li let the members of the Tail Tribe rest, while she prepared to deal with the remaining team.

By now, everyone looked at the tall girl wearing a baseball cap, speculating whether she was Lin Nuan. Having received Nangong Qu’s word, everyone went off to hunt on their own. Nangong Qu had organized this wild hunt on a whim, so he hadn't set up any competitive events; as long as everyone was having fun, that was all that mattered. The two-day hunting activity served as a way for the court officials to foster better relationships.

All phenomena of heaven and earth, as long as they involved a shamanic priest capable of controlling the various manifestations of the universe, could be categorized under the great umbrella of the "Heaven and Earth Sacrifice."

After the meal, as Chen Xingtang was clearing the bowls and chopsticks, he felt Wang Zuxian walk softly behind him, wrapping her jade-like arms around him. In a way, Prince Charles, Princess Diana, and Camilla, caught between them, were like characters in this story. Because I passed the position of family head to Deng Chao, and she still held a grudge against me for how I treated Xu Youcai ten years ago, she immediately mocked me upon hearing what I just said.

He spoke with full affirmation regarding the scheduled completion of the riverside trade circle, stating that the provincial party committee and government would fully support the construction and development of Qingyuan City. He especially praised Qingyuan City for its vibrant and remarkable achievements in both urban and rural economic work over the past year, noting that the municipal party committee and government team deserved the credit.

The Japanese are not fools, nor are they idiots. They are diligent and intelligent, and they are adept at creating their own idol superstars. In the future, Takuya Kimura and Noriko Sakai would sweep across Asia, making Hong Kong—and indeed the entire Asian entertainment industry—centered on Japan.

Chen Ji originally hadn't wanted to discuss too much about wheelchairs with Theresa. His main reason for inviting her this time was to inquire about the Red-Armored Crocodile magic core. If Theresa could raise enough gold coins as a mission reward now, Chen Ji wouldn't mind completing the task early.

Before Yakumo Yukari could finish speaking, Flandre stepped forward, touched the Great Barrier, and exerted all her strength—only to be repelled by the barrier’s self-defense mechanism, falling from the sky in an instant.

These words stirred Shangguan Zixia’s sentimental heart, leaving her feeling as though a subtle fragrance were drifting about, and a crystalline glow appeared upon her face.
