25 "Seeing Them Off"

With Yang Junzhi’s guidance, Lin Zhao easily completed her examination and successfully transferred her grain and oil rations. Just like that, she became a city resident.

“Thank you, I’ve troubled you,” Lin Zhao said, her face beaming with a sincere smile as she thanked Yang Junzhi.

Yang Junzhi felt his sister-in-law was being far too polite. He laughed, “Chenghuai and I are comrades who would trust each other with our lives. Sister-in-law, please don’t give this little favor another thought.”

Lin Zhao was not one to be ignorant of social graces. As she held the...

Li Zhi’s attention was fixed on Feixi Temple, where there were no fewer than three hundred practitioners of various levels, including four at the Master rank.

Luo Hao raised his hand and tucked away the Ruyi Heavenly Talisman. Though he was the master of the talisman, he had yet to uncover its secrets.

A large shipment of divine stones had arrived, and the steam bathhouse project for Zhuansun Fanghua and the others was ready for market. Providing them with a storefront would help accelerate sales.

Luo Fu happily put away the magical artifact. Regardless of its power, any gift from her foster father was the best.

Just then, Li Ye’s phone rang in his pocket. Pulling it out, he saw the name Bai Shangcheng flashing on the screen.

The moonlight outside the window was exceptionally bright tonight. The cold, clear light spilled over the brilliantly lit city, yet it could not mask the spring-like intimacy within Sun Langlang’s room.

The Liang army cavalry were furious, howling and whipping their horses in pursuit. Every so often, someone would loose an arrow; they whistled through the air, grazing the scalp of the guard captain as they flew past.

“Zhang Hai, you have always been an upright man—a man of your word. Why have you started telling lies?” Wang Shichong finally stopped stroking his face and patted him on the shoulder instead.

It was not that he was overly slick; he simply needed to keep the complex web of relationships clear. Li Zhi helped them out of respect for the Zhuansun family and their ancestors, but no matter how great the contribution, one must not overstep one’s bounds.

“No, I just wanted to say thank you. Otherwise, this research mission would have certainly turned into a disaster, and there would be no hope for any future research funding,” Professor Clapton said.

We looked at the grottoes on the stone wall; some were carved by human hands, while others were natural fissures. “Should we continue moving forward, or rest here for a while?” Yang Yuxin asked.

She cast a look of disdain, clearly looking down on me. I suspect no boy could ever win Bian Yiqian’s heart.

Satellite imagery clearly showed that across all regions, continents, and hemispheres, every observable living creature had become extremely abnormal.

Facing a raging giant beast, one would be crushed to death in an instant due to the massive disparity in physical capability. There was no room for luck, so maintaining a safe distance was essential.

“Replying to the Princess, it was these useless demons. I don’t know what methods they used, but they actually summoned all four of us Demon Gods at the same time,” the Western Demon God muttered with a gloomy face.

After some commotion, the classroom became even livelier. Everyone was chatting, and the expert in the back row, having gathered enough opinions, stood up and walked to the podium.

“Humph! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?” With the spear in hand, seemingly sensing the approach of danger, the black light surged, instantly forming a barrier in front of Wuya.

And now, Boozer intended to do just that against Gasol! Turning around, he saw Gasol had given him a step of space, so without a moment’s hesitation, he rose and shot! Though Gasol jumped with all his might, he couldn’t even manage a goaltending violation.

I stopped bragging, threw the hairdryer back, and headed to my room. Xu Mengmeng snorted coldly, grabbed a pillow, and retreated to her room as well.

“I don’t want to give up!” Ben Wallace hammered his fist onto the table in anger, knocking the ashtray to the floor.

After explaining “Wind Element: Empty Silence” to Zhanchi, Dilong did not hesitate to unleash “Wind Element: Ten Thousand Blades Piercing the Heart,” aiming to take Zhanchi down in one blow.

Shen Wu was not a very still sleeper. Both of them wore simple clothes—only a single layer of cotton pajamas she had Wang Hua make. She kept nuzzling until she ended up in Lu Xuan’s arms, her hand tracing the muscles of his abdomen.

In a daze, Bilbo struggled to open his eyes, kicked off the covers, climbed out of bed, and poked his head out of the bedroom door.

They didn’t intend to destroy these people completely; otherwise, it wouldn’t be a matter of singing songs behind bars, but rather a swift bullet to end it all.

I don’t know what happened today, but they found two matrons who led the two of them to a room. It was quite large, well-equipped with daily necessities, and the conditions were decent.

Shen Wu heard about the job and felt it wasn’t suitable for Xu Yin. Of course, she wasn’t prepared to fight for any more favors; one shouldn’t be greedy, or even the greatest kindness would eventually be worn thin.

The two of them hadn't intended to expose the truth. If they did, and the elder Lu couple regretted it and demanded the money back, would they split the family or not?

“No matter what happens, whether the wedding is off or not, you have to tell me. We’ll discuss it together.” As she said this, Yang Maitiao pushed the lunchbox back.

With eyebrows like delicate green leaves and long lashes over grape-like, sparkling eyes, a petite, upturned nose, and naturally red lips, her features were exquisite and perfectly arranged on a standard oval face.

The Dragon Clan helped your Heavenly Palace so much! And you let the Dragon Clan act as jailers guarding Purgatory, even setting up a Dragon-Trapping Platform to constantly absorb their fortune. Is this what you call trust!?

“It’s nothing, I’m not really a true member of that group anyway~” Hearing Chihaya’s surprised voice, Yukinoshita said with a touch of self-mockery.

Divine Punishment wanted to tell Ling Feng that this was no ordinary game, while Ling Feng had realized something else entirely.

Her attitude was sincere, but Zhuang Yun made no move to take what she offered. Instead, he looked at her with a cryptic smile.

After all, he was a Demon Pill to begin with; if he were to fall into demonic possession again, only a Sage would be able to awaken him.

“Alright, alright, you guys go ahead, don’t wait for me.” Ling Feng sprang up with a kip-up, got dressed, and sprinted toward the classroom.

Fu Yan wore a pale blue shirt, quite different from Shi Nian’s cold rigidity or Qi Leng’s almost demonic handsomeness.

Xu Xin’s voice carried a hint of impatience; clearly, he couldn’t figure out what was going on either.
