Volume 1, Chapter 59: First Reaction, Secret Marriage

"Hounding you? Please, could you use a different word? I, a majestic dragon... would hound you? I merely need someone who can accompany me to play and roam as much as I please," Long Yao said with a haughty expression.

"I suppose my presence here makes all of you madams rather uneasy. I hear that the Marquis of Loyalty's estate boasts a quite exquisite fish-watching pond; since I rarely visit, I naturally must go and take a look," Jiang Yuepiao said as she stood up, declining the offer of the Marquis of Loyalty's wife to accompany her, and walked out of the banquet on her own.

He first walked to a secluded spot, and after confirming there was no surveillance around him, he used a disguise talisman to alter his appearance.

Events proved that he was indeed immensely powerful; otherwise, he would never have uttered such boasts as daring to barge into the chaotic spatial realm of Beyond-the-Heavens, where the primordial Patriarch Hongjun and numerous sages resided.

No wonder that as soon as Tang Sanzang entered the demon cave, he declared that eating his flesh grants eternal life, and insisted that the three demons boil him and eat him up.

Because her mind held the complete art of puppetry; if there was anyone left in this world capable of exposing the secrets of the Wu tribe, it was her.

Emperor Yuanwu's overflowing sighs and sense of relief came to an abrupt halt the moment he heard this remark from Yue Zhengzhuo.

Just as the saber in his hand was about to cleave downward onto Ye Tianci's chest, Ye Tianci slowly extended his hand—or to be precise, he extended two fingers.

Chu Yihan rubbed against his chest, then furrowed her delicate brows slightly, pulled away from his embrace, and shifted her body a little to the side.

Pang Xiaoyu had originally held his tongue and endured, noticing that Situ Tengyi was not distracted by Luo Xia's affairs, but eventually, he found himself unable to bear it any longer.

Why should they both be Jiang Zhiheng's sons, yet one was born the heir while her own son remained nothing more than a deputy manager to this day?

"What about the Prince of Shiping? I want to see His Highness the Prince of Shiping. Having stayed here for so many days, surely I should be allowed to bid His Highness farewell?" Feng Miao struggled incessantly, but the meager strength she possessed was utterly negligible.

She was well aware that she was not among those officially invited, and whether she would succeed depended entirely on a whim of the emperor. If the emperor was pleased, this would be seen as clever ingenuity and a delightful, sensitive nature. But if the emperor was displeased, it would be viewed as harboring ulterior motives, trespassing into the forbidden gardens, and unseemly conduct—a grave offense punishable by execution with the heavy staff.

Before the rest of her words could escape, Yang Ruoqing directly grabbed a piece of pastry and shoved it into Liu's mouth, choking the latter's sentence right back down into her throat.

After handling Xia Weixi, Chi Yuanxia took a deep breath, scrolled through her contacts to find Jing Bainian, and dialed his number.

In the end, it was Luo the Blacksmith who rushed forward, grabbed the object fluttering in mid-air, tore it completely to shreds, and threw it out of the ancestral hall.

What followed next in the kitchen was exceedingly simple; the pastry chef practically never asked Wuyou to do anything. Several times, Wuyou sat on the rolling stone block in the kitchen, feeling so bored that she even began to doze off.

Mu Jinxi had familiarized herself with the strengths and weaknesses of all ten elders. Although she had often bickered with these ten old men over the brief span of more than two months, Mu Jinxi knew better than anyone that the elders truly wished her well.

Feng Miao knew that Li Nongyu had always been reluctant to speak much, yet possessed an extremely resolute mind; further persuasion would be entirely useless.

He curled the corners of his lips, walked over to her—who remained in a daze—cast a downward glance at her employee badge with a slight smile, and then slowly extended a hand.

It was of such a great height, with virtually no safety measures around it; the few black iron railings served a purely decorative purpose.

Yet this had never been possible to achieve. Under such a blow, perhaps it made him realize something, causing him to let go of any desire to contend.

Although there were quite a few sports stars on Xia Mo's side, as far as they were concerned, they were not in the same competitive field, so there was no need for concern.

Moreover, as far as I know, most of the unfavorable rumors regarding us that are currently circulating across the North Sea waters have been spread by the Planet Venus and Guanyin.

Xia Mo took Yixing and boarded a taxi. The fare came to twenty-two yuan in total, but since Xia Mo had earned money previously, this hardly posed any problem at all.

In the days immediately following Crescent's departure, I spent every single day daydreaming about the arrival of this very day. Yet now that this day had truly arrived, I did not feel the intense agitation I had imagined. Perhaps it was because I knew deep down that the outcome I wished for would never materialize.

These were clearly two distinct questions, and Qiao Huanhuan was unable to give an accurate answer to either of them.

Across the country, a vast expanse of development zones sprang up overnight. Everywhere, ground was broken; a plot of land was encircled with wire mesh, an official seal was stamped, and a ribbon was cut, signaling that business had commenced.

Beast soul gu are formed when certain parasites exist at the precise moment a beast dies. Under fortuitous circumstances, some parasites might absorb the host's soul at the moment of death, mutating into a beast soul gu.

Especially those high-tech talents specializing in aerospace, astronautics, aircraft manufacturing, modern shipbuilding, and engine design chose to leave the country.

Liu Ming dodged, and the utility pole swung by the wolf-bear smashed down onto the roadside with its momentum entirely unabated. The concrete ground fractured, and a massive crater appeared by the side of the road.

"Your family is about to produce a college student." If Li remembered correctly, this should be the third college student in the village, excluding himself and the fourth uncle. All three college students shared the surname Li; it seemed the feng shui of the Li family graves was truly exceptional—even if it weren't a fact, it was bound to become one.
