Chapter 161: Longing

Gu Da was completely stunned. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his gaze swept past his two brothers, and he reluctantly swallowed the words back.

Even if it wasn't for his wife, he didn't need to give the wine away just because he was quitting drinking. That wine was brewed from grain; even if he took it to sell for money, it would still be better than giving it away for free.

Besides, even if he didn't drink it himself, he could use it to entertain guests.

It was rare for Gu Daguo and Gu Dashan to take advantage of him, so how could they possibly give him a chance to go back on his word?

The Xuanwu Shield they deployed was the strongest defensive secret technique within the sect. Even with all four of them executing it together, they could only barely manage to block these shards of ice.

Xu Junyu crudely buttoned his shirt, glaring fiercely at her with a pair of eyes, before putting on his coat and heading out the door.

When Li Ling's sedan chair was carried into the palace, the rain had stopped, and the sky had cleared up once again.

Ruoxue's aura was growing weaker and weaker, and everyone could see it. Was this because Ruoxue felt guilty and was afraid that Luo Yunxi would snatch away the Ghost Realm Emperor, threatening her position?

Could the reason why giving gifts so many times yielded no results be that the gifts sent were not to the host's liking?

That boy looked like he liked Suyu at a single glance, but does Suyu actually like that boy?

"The forbidden area is extremely dangerous. Even if it were opened now, it would be impossible for you to return alive. Wait a few more days!" a hoarse voice came from ahead.

Frowning, he reached out and pulled Su Nuan tightly into his arms, exerting force as he gripped her shoulder.

At this moment, this tall, strong, and powerfully built man with breathtakingly perfect facial features was lowering his gaze to look straight at her. His expression remained calm, but beneath his long, dark eyelashes, his eyes seemed like melting ice, softening considerably.

The curtain was lifted, and he could not help but feel a slight start—he saw that Zhen Rou had picked up the letter tablets, her face pale with shock as if struck by a heavy blow, her body swaying as though she were about to collapse.

The two had just left the auto mall when Geng Mo's phone rang. Seeing Leng Yu's name displayed on the screen, he suddenly remembered that he had promised to have dinner with Leng Yu today.

Those were specially crafted arrows of the Tenger people, made under the guidance of the artisans brought by Guoyang. The arrowheads were embedded with copper-lead alloy barbs; once they entered the flesh, not only would the arrowheads remain stuck in the wound when pulled out, but the properties of the metal would also induce infection, leading to the highest possible mortality rate.

Zimao seemed accustomed to the copper smith's coldness. He looked around the extremely crude workshop, walked over to the elmwood table on his own, and sat down.

He discovered that, just as Ye Xingchen had said, he simply did not understand what was on Eleven's mind.

When completing tasks, the system had rewarded him with three chances for "system-assisted overdue debt collection." Since not using them would be a waste, he decided to start by collecting money from the three largest accounts.

Having slept for three days without eating anything, how could she not be hungry? For these past three days, Gu Mujin had guarded her almost without closing his eyes for even a second.

Meanwhile, Nuan Ai was thinking that since Zhao Meng was the one treating, how could she have the nerve to invite other people? If she were the one hosting, of course, that would be a different matter.

Walking into the bedroom, he forcefully and angrily threw her onto the large bed, narrowing his dark eyes as he stripped off his outer jacket piece by piece.

The Taihuang Academy had been established for at least a million years, yet throughout this vast and long river of time, there had never been a single instance of an Elder King being killed by a student.

At that time, she thought that marrying him was already the greatest happiness, and she would never have wished for anything else.

The scene remained a mess, with white bones scattered all over the ground. The diurnal temperature range beneath Iron Spear Pass was extreme, and bodies could not be left out for long, resulting in the current state of affairs. Fortunately, the Dragon Scale Army guarded the perimeter, forbidding anyone from entering, and the scene was kept entirely undisturbed.

Although martial artists possessed abundant energy and excellent physical constitutions, capable of going without sleep for several days without issue, it did not mean they were immune to fatigue and exhaustion. If this continued, their mental states would inevitably be worn down.
