Volume 1, Chapter 53: Today's haul is enough to keep the doors shut for the next half month without doing any business.

The sales clerk had just taken out the one Shen Nuo had her eyes on when the woman was instantly captivated, completely casting her own initial choice to the back of her mind.
"Young Master Zhang, this one is much better. It's both exquisite and textured, a very good fit for Tangtang."
"Does Tangtang like it?" Zhang Shuchang asked.
Tangtang was a child after all, and her preferences were easily swayed.
She nodded hurriedly, "I like it. This is so pretty, so cute."
It was much prettier than the one she had been looking at.
The Emperor's birthday banquet was fast approaching, and it was also the moment they intended to make their move. Originally, they had only planned to cause Prince Hao to lose his composure during the banquet, prompting the Emperor to grow cold toward him out of anger and leave it at that. Little did they expect that Danxia's move would be even more ruthless, effectively pulling the rug out from under them... and every subsequent step she took proved to be a successive victory.
"Abominable!" I spat out a mouthful of blood. This man, unexpectedly, was just as immensely powerful as my teacher.
Just as Guo Shaoyang made a prompt and decisive choice—resolving to break away from the submissive, yes-man demeanor he had held toward her for the past eight years, and preparing to use the most venomous words in the world to deliver a comprehensive, three-dimensional, fatal blow from all directions, letting her know what it truly meant when they say "one should look at a scholar with new eyes after three days apart"—his cell phone suddenly rang.
With the Military Region Commander and the Military-Political Chief serving as deputies, and the Corps Commander-in-Chief as the primary head, dozens of MiG-type fighter jets took off from the mechanical airfield, and countless rocket-propelled cylindrical shells were dropped from the MiG fighter jets.
Because of the two uninvited guests, the atmosphere of this reunion dinner was entirely altered. Not a single person was in the mood for drinking; everyone simply rushed through the meal as if fulfilling a task and dispersed as soon as they had filled their stomachs.
However, due to elemental attribute suppression, Xiao Ni began to exhibit certain symptoms. Her liver fire soared drastically, her temper flared to the extreme, and at the slightest hint of dissatisfaction, she would start shouting and screaming. Fortunately, she only behaved this way with her family; once she reached the academy clinic, she was still able to keep her composure.
A flying sword soared into the air, and at Lingbao's beckoning hand, it descended straight into his grasp.
"Miya should have already noticed us, and it looks like she's going to deal with those fellows too." Seeing Miya suddenly accelerate in the arena and show no more mercy in her strikes, Xiying, who had a friendly relationship with her, smiled and made the remark, seemingly finding the fierce-tempered girl's actions rather amusing.
"Cousin, the charity donation is about to begin." Xiao Tianming strode toward Nangong Yan with firm and powerful steps.
What they wanted to do right now was simply to finish this assignment as quickly as possible and then get out of this place. After all, the domestic environment was far too dangerous for these mercenaries; they didn't even dare to fall into a deep sleep, constantly terrified that the relevant authorities might track them down.
The two of them let out identical cold snuffs, both wearing mocking expressions on their faces. With an attitude of absolute defiance—like dead pigs unafraid of boiling water—neither of them bothered to acknowledge Dao Wukou.
This Spring Festival event could be said to be quite phenomenal, though the drop rate of the Xi beasts left something to be desired. Up to now, not a single player had managed to obtain rare-tier equipment from them.
"Does Elder Sister have any further instructions? This time when I leave, I am not heading to Haiyou Island to look for my older brother." How could Qin Shitu not understand Xu Jinxin's underlying meaning?
Miao Niang cast an indifferent glance at him, then turned her gaze back to the hazy moonlight outside, wearing a somewhat desolate expression.
The black slip was like this, and the white crow before it was the same. Among such born murderers, one could easily count over a hundred victims just by looking at their blood trails. Fortunately, however, the number of lives they were able to save was even greater.
From yesterday afternoon until now, they had rested for only a single hour. The four tall, strong steeds were already drenched in heavy sweat, white foam bubbled from their mouths, and hot, panting puffs blasted from their nostrils as the carriage gradually slowed its pace.
Upon hearing the name "Xue'er," Tao Zi'an's expression shifted slightly, but he still withdrew immediately. After waiting for a long time, a rather docile-looking young woman walked over.
