Volume 1, Chapter 68: Trying Too Hard

From the outside, it appeared to be a success, though it hadn't been cut open yet, so the condition inside remained unknown.

Just as Han Yu was about to ask what the person was doing, the other party removed their mask. Recognizing the face before her, she instantly began to tremble with excitement.

From then on, whenever there was a wedding in the local area, guests would be introduced to the sour soup noodles in advance. If the guests declined, the breakfast menu would be changed accordingly.

"No, brother, why on earth did you take my century-old wild ginseng? Don't you know how expensive that is? What if you don't store it properly and ruin it?" Duan Lianxia was a physician, so she naturally cherished precious herbs, but Duan Lingmo's expression didn't look like that of a patient.

She slept exceptionally well all night. Even when she half-woke in a daze, she didn't hear her son crying, enjoying a peaceful slumber throughout the night.

"Micheng!" Mu Yuexi couldn't help turning around and shouting in a low voice, "How can Xiao Lian be considered an outsider? He saved you; he is our benefactor." Mu Yuexi kept her voice very low, fearing that Xiao Lian might feel awkward.

Of course, the reason why their marriage had been repeatedly delayed was partly due to the efforts of Aunt Liu and Liu Ruyan.

Yue Yunyang did not hesitate at all, yet he was launching his attack empty-handed. Was he really that confident? Qingning drew her sword and stepped forward, thrusting directly at Yue Yunyang's throat. Yue Yunyang sidestepped to dodge, and taking advantage of this opening, Qingning quickly moved forward, arriving at Mu Ling's courtyard.

When she first entered the school, Wang Ting didn't know anyone and had no idea how to find her way to the dormitory. Just as she was completely disoriented and feeling extremely helpless...

Ma Tianya smiled and nodded. Among the participating contestants, anyone who wasn't blind or a fool knew about the shady dealings between Zhang Yang and Gao Yue.

Although he knew very well that this task was just a matter of time—once the funding was in place and it could operate and develop smoothly, the task would naturally be completed—the crucial factor still came down to waiting.

Yi Jiao's introduction was brief. Most of the people present were not here for the first time and all followed the rules; those wishing to sell items had already collected their numbered tokens and were queuing in order.

After hearing this, Yan Zhen couldn't help being stunned. Was it really that exaggerated? However, after sweeping his gaze across the room, he discovered that everyone in the classroom was looking at him with an expression of extreme astonishment, as if he had just done something utterly unorthodox and rebellious.

Niu Ziwei curled the corners of his mouth into a smile, yet the smile brought tears down his cheeks. He had imagined their future countless times, never expecting that he and she would ultimately end up breaking up.

Tuoba Xue retreated in some terror, then fled back to the inn, returning to her room to shed tears in secret. She did not know how to express her inner conflict to her senior brother, He Liang. Helian Jingyan had taken care of her for fifteen years, and though she could not clearly articulate how much deep affection was contained within that care, it was nevertheless a tangible reality laid out before her.

Without a second thought, Lu Yu attached half of his divine sense—which was equivalent to his entire original divine sense—onto this stream of true qi. Instantly, it burst out of the divine sense space, and he continued to dispatch streams of true qi into the divine sense space one after another.

Tian Feng glanced at Anping, who had originally possessed a boundless future, and could not help letting out a sigh without saying a word.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Up ahead, hundreds of furiously shooting roots and branches slammed straight into the force wall. Despite the seemingly fierce bombardment, this massive wave of branches failed to shake the force wall even the slightest bit.

Especially Zhou本, who was soon to be enfeoffed as the Duke of Susong. Yang Jiong was his own maternal grandson, and now that his grandson had been created as a prince, he naturally shared in the honor.

And all the hopes and illusions of the Donglin faction completely vanished into thin air within these few short days.

"Humans, have you finished talking? Are you still going to explore the treasure trove or not? If you aren't participating, then I'll go in and explore it by myself!" At that moment, seeing the two of them chatting endlessly, the Golden Dragon could no longer suppress its anger and transmitted its voice mentally.

Most of the people here were alchemists of status and standing who usually maintained their dignity and were extremely arrogant. Never had they expected to make such fools of themselves here today. How could they possibly endure it? One by one, they began to shout angrily with livid faces.

Garnett executed a step-back fadeaway jumper. The basketball hit the rim, bounced up, and then obediently dropped through the net, adding two points for the Cavaliers.

Wang Xian's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected the War Lord's battle fist to possess such formidable power that it could actually shatter the firmament. Frowning slightly and pondering for a moment, he summoned the City in the Sky that he had just successfully refined.

"Mentor, may I upgrade a skill?" I asked. Miteer nodded.

Therefore, despite not sleeping all night, Ajige remained in high spirits and immediately issued an order for the army to break camp at once and enter Nanjing. It was only after he walked out of the large tent that he realized the sky had already grown bright.

Ji Wufeng stared at his shoulders; this defensive stance was habitually used by many people. Ji Wufeng clearly also favored this kind of defense.

"Use the most ferocious firepower to send them to paradise." Stepping aboard his flagship, the *Ark Royal*, Hayreddin commanded majestically.

"Let's go back!" Although the Tiger Golden Beast also felt anger and disappointment in his heart, he knew that once the opponent teleported away, there was not the slightest hope of catching up. What else could they do besides go back?

The Mysterious Dragon Saber was drawn, and the Invincible Profound Qi condensed. A mysterious dragon took shape—fierce and terrifying, yet truly carrying a trace of an ancient mysterious dragon's aura, overbearing and untamed.

The Profound Water Shield was the second combat technique of the [Nine Transformations of Xuanwu]. He had only just begun practicing it, and its wondrous uses were still only half-understood. At that critical juncture between life and death, Ye Chen had no other choice and could only pin all his hopes on the Profound Water Shield.

Merely two words, yet they carried a faint majesty, as if he were the true master of this place, while Gongyang Puyujing was merely a guest or perhaps a servant.

Walking out of Prince Qing's mansion, Jing Ying'er felt extremely distressed in her heart, firmly believing that Lin Zhiqi had snatched away everything that belonged to her.

Dongming Ziyu struck out with a palm, shattering several crystal pillars before them and revealing a white jade bed in the center of the grand hall.

A waiter who had made a huge mistake versus a client with hundreds of millions in assets—anyone could figure out which one to choose using just their toes.
