Zhou Weiliang’s death was unnatural, Chen Yusheng’s behavior was unnatural, and his former lover Jiang Suping coming to find him in the middle of the night only to turn around and leave without a single word was even more unnatural.
Tang Shan adjusted his mood and whistled at a girl swaying past him. In response, she rolled her eyes at him, her mouth opening and closing as if she were cursing him out with crude language.
Clearly, this young man did not frequent bars often; he couldn’t even name the most basic vodka. Yet, this did not dampen his determination to drink himself into oblivion.
Only, why would Situ Yuan say such a thing, and what ulterior secrets lay hidden behind Elder Sun? If Gao Xuan wanted to find out, he would simply have to wait for Situ Yuan to reveal them one by one.
Looking ahead at Chen Changtian, whose face was flushed dark red with extreme fury, Chen San gave a chuckle and teased in a mocking tone.
There had been numerous training sessions and matches lately, and Ding Mu had to oversee everything—he was even more exhausted than the actual team members.
Hua Mo flicked his sleeve and landed gracefully on the mountain path. Even as the entire Mount Qiyun shook violently, his pace remained unhurried. Seeing Xiao Cheng blocking his path with an expression of resolute readiness to die, Hua Mo impatiently waved his sleeve.
Mu Xiaorui was grabbed by her ankle by Helan Chen, feeling a grip that felt like twisting vines, and instinctively raised her foot to kick.
Nursing a grievance, Ning Jun had turned to business, exploiting the Ning family's influence in the military district both openly and covertly over the years to rake in money by all means possible.
It was merely a deck of cards; what did it have to do with human destiny? Even if such a hand rarely appeared, it was nothing more than a matter of mathematical probability—how could it possibly be linked to good or bad fortune?
It merely gave Hong Chengchou in Songshan a moment of false hope, prompting him to dispatch six thousand soldiers to open a breakthrough route, only for three thousand to surrender and three thousand to fall in battle. The sole benefit was that it reduced the number of mouths eating rations in Songshan by six thousand, allowing the city to hold out a little longer; otherwise, it truly could not have lasted until this point.
"You couldn't tell? Then why did you dare to deal a fatal blow directly!" The old man seemed not to expect such a reply, and the puzzlement and confusion on his face deepened.
Mo Song raised his head in disbelief, looking at Luo Ting’s flawless cheeks, which were blushed as red as if they could drip water, while a surge of quiet joy welled up in his eyes.
Tibicoli was on the verge of going mad at this moment; despite transferring five regiments of troops, he still had not managed to stop the advance of Yuliang’s forces. His icy gaze swept continuously over the several Western Liao generals before him, where Pei Qinbao, Yelu Xin, Yelu Sha, Xiao Liangyou, Xiao Yuanshan, and the others all wore expressions of utter despair.

By this time, a brocade of blooming flowers had completely obliterated and dissolved all the fierce beasts materialized from the Blood-Burning Spirit-Condensing Talisman. However, that enormous peony flower ignored Long Xing entirely, descending instead directly upon the Ghost King's head to replace the peony weapon.
Having lived their entire lives in an era of peace, they had suddenly been transported to a perilous place like the Underworld; not going mad was already a testament to the strength of their minds.
Although Ma Teng felt resentful, he had to admit that while the coalition forces still outnumbered the Han army, they lacked unity of heart. Each faction merely sought to preserve its own strength with narrow vision—how could they ever hope to defeat the Han army?
Dongfang Qingyue refused repeatedly. She already felt somewhat guilty for failing to offer any real help, especially since Ning Ye was her savior.
If, during their first two journeys to India, the Portuguese principle was to avoid conflict as much as possible and strive for trade cooperation through peaceful means,
Baitianxing reached out and pulled Ge Yong toward the inn, knowing that Zhao Tianyou must be waiting for him there.
Under his command were the Linghu Sect, Jinyun Valley, Baihua Sect, Shennong Sect, and three other immortal-cultivating families possessing False Elixir stages—a total of seven second-tier forces.
Qin Ming immediately gritted his teeth and used a [Ripening] spell inscription, instantly maturing the two stalks of spiritual herbs.
Without the Sea-Calming Pearl, he still possessed a magic treasure in his hand called the "Dragon-Binding Rope." The ability of this treasure was similar to the "Immortal-Binding Cord," but bringing it out proved useless. He had originally planned to use the superiority of his magic treasure to capture Our Lady of the Golden Spirit, only for them to be broken one by one—it was utterly humiliating.
Jiang Qingwan nervously twisted her slender fingers, which, set against her minimalist attire for the day, slowly mirrored her appearance from her university days.
Those permitted to remain within the Demon Suppression Division were all formidable experts, or individuals with the potential to become experts.
The Four Sovereigns: the North Star Emperor Ziwei, the South Star Emperor Changsheng, the Emperor Chenchenshangong Tianhuang, and the Earth-Mother Sovereign who conforms to the Heavenly Way and Inspires the Law.
Upon witnessing this scene, the teachers communicated with the students' parents to inquire whether anything unusual had happened.
After Ye Li's phone call connected, there was absolute silence, followed by a shutdown. At that moment, Lu Boting felt as though someone had grabbed him tightly by the windpipe, completely cutting off his ability to breathe.

In fact, she was currently reflecting on her own behavior, wondering if she had been far too polite previously. Did one need any reason at all to curse out an oyster mushroom and an apricot-headed dog?
Meng Yin buried her head in my chest, her voice muffled as hot tears soaked my thin pajamas.
"Hey, hey, apprentice, why aren't you in the Wind Spirit Barrier?" the mentor within the Nine Heavens Ring suddenly called out.
Yang Wumu nodded slightly, his gaze falling upon Chang Hefeng, whereupon he noticed the severed arm, causing his expression to change abruptly.
Chen Langya's words stirred a thought in the mind of Xue Qin beside him, though he knew Chen Langya was likely discussing a matter of utmost importance.
Although the second strike resulted in a Miss, it did not affect the outcome of the Skeleton Archer's death.
If Song Beiqiao’s orders back then were merely meant to eliminate the late emperor’s suspicions regarding the Song and Huo families, without foreseeing that Huo Changfeng and Song Wen would never return, then toward Huo Qingsong and Huo Qingqing he harbored a sense of guilt, caring for the siblings at every turn. Song Yuan, on the other hand, was striving to make up for the "responsibilities" he failed to fulfill when he angrily left the capital years ago.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it. Let's drink." You Tianlai grabbed the wine bottle, poured a full cup for Qin Feng, and filled one for himself. Clinking their glasses together, the two drank the wine in a single gulp.
"My lady, this maid notices your complexion is truly abnormal. Perhaps we should return to the city and invite a physician to take a look?" Seeing that Lü Xiang'er no longer paid attention to Huo Kai dealing with the wild boar, Lüxiu realized her face was terrifyingly pale, seemingly on the verge of vomiting at any moment.
The more she thought about it, the more covered in cold sweat she became. Chuxiu felt that her hands, hidden within her sleeves, were still trembling uncontrollably, and her heart refused to settle, practically leaping out of her throat.
Shen Yu pondered, wishing to find the best possible excuse to refuse Yun Xiangrong—one that would neither break her heart nor fail to convey his meaning clearly.
He did not show leniency simply because Ye Shu was his uncle; on the contrary, he brought his absolute strength to face Ye Shu.
