Volume 1, Chapter 25: She Has Many Suitors at Her Feet
Fortunately, protected by the invisible energy forcibly instilled into his body by the old Yellow Emperor, Zhou Yu was not the type to be easily incapacitated. Despite the stuffiness in his chest when he exerted his internal energy, the flow remained just as potent as before.
Zhou Ming’s words seemed to strike a nerve; the three of them looked instantly embarrassed, exchanging glances but unable to utter a response for a long time.
"What about the gift? I haven't prepared anything!" Zheng Nan said. He wasn't opposed to it in his heart; after all, it was a time to broaden his horizons, and he was curious about such banquets. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to visit a gathering of "rich kids."
"Look at you, still so impatient. When did you become just like Liu Qiang? It’s not like it matters if we go a day or two later. Let’s first see how Ke Hong handles the situation at hand," Liu Yi chided.
"Stop right there!" The aunt might be able to endure it, but the uncle could not—the Second Young Master was furious! His shout was so loud that the birds watching the spectacle from the nearby tree were startled into flight.
"Alright, I understand. Just a moment, I'll be ready right away!" Su Xin walked into the bedroom with a smile to change her clothes.
The Second Young Master felt that today was a bit strange. Why, out of so many students, did every teacher insist on making him the target of their mockery after class?
Just as Wang Tian was about to savor his meal, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes fixed intently on him from behind.
"It’s not 'nearly,' it’s that I simply couldn't withstand it at all!" Liu Shishi wasn't angry; instead, she admitted it generously.
Consequently, purchasing representatives and observers from many countries booked tickets and began flying to Shanghai once again. Digital Totem’s obsession with Shanghai—always holding their releases and sales locally—deepened everyone’s resentment toward them.
Collapsed, she fell into an immediate faint. This dream was so vivid—so vivid that even in her sleep, she couldn't help but shed tears.
The Japanese team leader also shuddered, then looked toward the many Japanese contestants, all of whom wore heavy expressions.
"Oh, so you’re eating all to yourselves! Tang Li, you didn't even tell me when you got back!" Seeing the scene upon entering the room, Li Tengjiao tossed the white tiger in her arms aside and lunged into Tang Li’s embrace.
After checking on Yu Jingqiu, Yuan Fang made a round of every hospital bed. The medical staff were very responsible and took great care of the patients. They changed dressings on time without delay, and the wounded were recovering quite well; those with minor injuries had already been discharged, and the serious cases had also mostly recovered.
Tai Yi looked back, his eyes lighting up. He took large strides toward the newcomer and said joyfully, "Qin Nu, how went the matters at Taishi Star?"
I don't know how much time passed, but I gradually regained consciousness. Opening my eyes, I saw my mother sitting beside me with reddened eyes.
He himself could see that his future was absolutely limitless. Of course, the premise for all of this was that he wouldn't perish halfway. Thinking of those gods who could casually produce millions or tens of millions of divine power, Tai Yi felt a headache coming on.
Hearing the rustling sound beside him, he slowly opened his eyes. He saw that Han Xia had already changed her clothes and was once again looking dignified and graceful.
At this moment, they finally understood that they were no match for these demons. If they came here now, let alone earning points, they would likely lose their very qualifications.
"Look at me." I grabbed her collar. Her wet eyelashes, like flower stamens, slowly bloomed through the gaps in her hair. She stared at my bleeding lips, filled with a sudden sense of guilt.
"Who is intercepting Fan Tao and the others? How could communication be cut off?" Xiang Yu took a deep breath, trying to force himself to remain calm, but the murderous intent in his heart had not diminished in the slightest; it still burned like a raging fire.
As we grow older, we possess greater abilities and can solve more problems, yet we still have many troubles—perhaps even more than before.
But later, when Liu Hong abducted Yin Wenjiao to Jiangzhou and the two lived together for a full eighteen years, hadn't Emperor Taizong of Tang worn his green hat for even longer?
Hearing this, the others showed no reaction, but Green Bamboo, eavesdropping in the carriage, gasped in shock.
Pang Yun was slightly taken aback and lowered his head in inevitable shame. As a general commanding the cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army, how could he only think of defending Jingkou?
However, this was merely a feint. As Guan Qinghe gathered his palm energy, he immediately switched from retreating to lunging forward.
The power of the Nine Suns Finger swept in. A subtle force suddenly permeated the Cangtian Seal itself, and strange ripples began to spread through the void.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was drawn by some power, and with the arrival of the night mist, it seemed as though the spiritual energy was transforming into a river, surging toward Xuan Yuanze.
"But their actions are a bit too excessive." Cheng Nuo refreshed the homepage, resting her chin on her hand and muttering.
"Is she still not better?" Ling Qing was also nervous. Hasn't it already been two months since that fire? Why is she still in the hospital? Was she really that seriously injured last time?
Hearing that surrendering would spare their lives, combined with the display of skill Jiang Qi had just shown, and the narrow escape from death the night before, even those among them who feared death the least grew timid. Looking at the well-equipped and numerous imperial army, many could not help but regret joining the Yellow Turbans—what were they even striving for?
"Alright then, what shall we have for a late-night snack, my princess?" Murong Chen chuckled.
The guard glanced at me, then looked at the toilet on the other side, noticing that the water inside had actually overflowed to the brim.
"On the roof of the building behind the one in front of you, there is a person whose life force cannot be detected, watching this way. The person is holding an infant in their arms." After scanning with her eyes closed, Zhan Lan immediately informed Murong Chen of the position via their mental link.
"The General is joking. Without a Seasonal Terrace, this special skill of mine is of no use at all. The blueprints for a Seasonal Terrace can only be purchased at level 9 exchange. Even if I had the blueprints, the construction costs are not cheap. No lord is willing to pay such a high price in the early stages," Pang Jun said, his face full of bitterness.
The sadness, anger, and blame that had persisted in Jiang Qi's heart ever since he learned that Cai Yan had married had vanished the moment Cai Yan appeared. Even if she were to marry another in the next moment, he would only wish her well, rather than succumbing to hysteria.
