He had returned then because it was the anniversary of his mother’s death. He had not actually intended to visit her, but after offering incense to his mother, he nevertheless booked a plane ticket and went to Jiangxi.
“How about we go shopping today? Today is the last day the shops are open. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, so they’ll close for the holiday! They won’t reopen until the sixth day of the first lunar month!” Princess Rongping continued.
Suddenly, a wandering hand fondled her thigh. She gave a start and hurriedly moved to the side, while turning to look at the other person in the carriage—the son of Fourth Master Su.
Qiao Anhao deliberately rubbed herself against him again and again. In the end, he merely kissed her on the lips before wrapping his arms tightly around her, leaving her unable to move.
“Hah, Rui Tianling, do you think these things will buy me off and make me stay here? Heh, what kind of person do you take me, Chen Zixuan, for?”
Her eyes, red as blood moons, traveled up and down A Tao’s body. Drought Demon said, “What happened to your appearance?” When he had seen her in the ancestral hall of Zhe Family Manor that day, she had still possessed a human form. Among all the jiangshi, only the Drought Demon could take human form; the rest were incapable of it. Curious, he had lured her here to investigate.
Perhaps she had spent too long in the dark prison cell. The moment Chen Zixuan stepped out and faced the sunlight, she found it difficult to adjust. She instinctively stopped and closed her eyes.
Luo Ningxin felt that it was a rare stroke of fate to encounter an old acquaintance from the State of Jin while in the Martial Universe Kingdom—especially an old acquaintance from the Huayang Sect, and one who had entered the sect at the same time as she had.
“Don’t be afraid. I can turn you into a jiangshi.” A Tao stared intently at him. “This jiangshi absolutely will not let you disappear from this world.”
“I don’t understand. I don’t understand. Brother, I only want the Demon Emperor. I only want the Demon Emperor.” Snake Ji wept as she stubbornly repeated herself.
Yet a single set of Imperial Guard equipment required five units of ore, making the cost of crafting the set seem far too high.
The laborers who could not afford vegetables tasted the shredded radish and, just as expected, many of them spent an extra cornmeal dumpling to order themselves a chopstickful. They ate it with great delight.

“Yang Huiqing and Yang Xue went out this morning. They got into a car accident on the expressway. After the car overturned, it caught fire. Yang Huiqing was injured, while Yang Xue was critically wounded. Yang Xue was taken to the hospital, but the emergency treatment failed, and she died!” Feng Qian said, covering her mouth as she began to sob.
He certainly did not think that his current state qualified as perfection. Of course, he did not even know what perfection truly meant.
Amid the shifting of illusion and reality, all the purebreds bound by the web of light had already broken free, while everything that had been collected proved utterly futile.
“If it’s only surveillance, the servants can handle it. Why dispatch the young master personally?” Wu Chan asked, still baffled.
By the time the Blazing Sun Archers had replenished their ammunition, the remaining dragonflies and venom flies had already been dealt with by the seventh-tier Blazing Sun Dawn Cavalry. After all, they had been crippled by the Blazing Sun Archers’ long-range firepower, and there were not many of them left, so eliminating them did not take long.
Thus, that very afternoon, Ted Turner boarded a plane in Atlanta, a city in the eastern United States, and flew to Los Angeles in the west.
As soon as the Flamingo-1 game console was released, it caused an immediate sensation in Japan. Countless Japanese players went wild over it and rushed to buy one.
Not far away, what appeared to be a towering, primeval divine temple stood in the center of the Blood Cavern, ancient and desolate.
“It’s all right. I’ll buy her another serving of egg-steamed meat.” Jiang Zitong spotted a large meatball that seemed to contain an egg.
The masters and servants of the household all heard that an animal they had never seen before was being brought into the residence as a medicinal ingredient. They secretly slowed their work and kept watch, waiting to see when the camel would arrive, afraid of missing their chance to catch a glimpse of the monster.
The score for activating all eight wooden stakes at once was immediately overwritten. The red electronic counter displayed a single integer: 100.
Jian Han leaned closer and looked up at his smile. Her vision was hazy, and she could not see clearly. All she could make out was that, within the blurred image, the man’s face seemed exceptionally handsome.

Ji Wanrong had not thought that far. She simply felt that human life was precious, and that being able to help Yinzhen shoulder his burdens and resolve his troubles was a good thing.
Qiao Yu started and turned around. Once she saw who had come, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was John.
Looking at the surroundings, Zhang Xiao felt that they must be on the other half of the island, an area that had yet to be developed. Even the roads had not been properly laid, which made the journey somewhat bumpy.
Just as everyone was bustling about in utter confusion, at the Liang residence, Chengzi stayed beside the old madam and obediently helped look after the children.
That attack seemed to trigger a critical hit, dealing an enormous amount of damage, while his own health instantly returned to full.
Afterward, Ruofeng casually stopped someone and asked a few questions, only to learn that a national war was currently underway. Ruofeng then flew straight to Qilin City.
The warship was only a little over a dozen yards long and several yards wide. Compared with the Nether River, it was utterly insignificant. But next to a human, it was a colossal object—especially now, when it radiated an inexplicable might that seemed faintly connected to the Zhu Plains. This made many people tremble with fear, and they hurriedly retreated.
Only then did the bodyguard realize that all the tents where they lived had been lifted away. Outside the forest stood four or five thousand people packed densely together, bows drawn and arrows nocked, aiming at them. The army’s discipline was exceptionally strict, and its ranks were remarkably orderly. With so many soldiers and horses gathered there, not a sound could be heard—the silence was suffocating.
