Formal dress

As soon as the news of the engagement was announced, my inbox was flooded with all sorts of well-wishes. Most of them were sincere blessings from fans, though some sour comments were mixed in, accusing me of marrying up and clinging to wealth and status. I couldn't be bothered to care; right now, I just wanted to get the engagement over with as quickly as possible and make Fu Shuhua completely disappear from my sight. Gu Yan and I had agreed to go try on formal wear. The place Gu Yan chose was a high-end private custom boutique in the city, famous for...

Although Wang Hao had long known about his arranged marriage to the Lin family of Jiangcheng, he had no desire to enter the halls of marriage so early unless the Lin family faced mortal danger. Marrying Lin Xue served two purposes: first, to fulfill his father's promise from years ago, and second, to protect the Lin family from the shadows.

"Fuck you, Chen Jiang!" Xie Lun roared, and the next moment, his eyes rolled back and he passed out cold on the spot.

Having successfully won Xun Chen back over that day, he personally invited him to serve as the military strategist for this campaign. After all, conquering Hebei required someone who truly knew the ropes.

If he could have skin-to-skin contact with Nanxiang Xuanmiao, or even hold her in his arms, just how fast would his growth rate be?

"Uncle, this guy must have taken advantage of the time Zhou Jianong went to the restroom to smear filthy stuff on our beds. Otherwise, we wouldn't all have come down with diarrhea together," Jin Liu said after pondering for days on his hospital bed, finally figuring it out.

The moment those bugs collided with the silkmoth king's butterfly wings, they were instantly corroded into mists, leaving not even a chance to dissolve into water droplets and fall.

As for Russell, he still needed to keep an eye on Loki; otherwise, given Thor's current state, who knew how easily Loki might slip away.

Comparing the stats of both sides, my heart immediately sank by half. A four-level gap made the attribute difference simply too vast. That purple orchid butterfly could probably turn me into near-death with just two basic attacks; fighting me was truly as effortless as mowing grass.

After all, compared to plundering the low-grade spirit stone mine belonging to Young Master Xue's family, meddling with the mid-grade spirit stone mine here offered much better prospects. It was just that, given the strength of the four scions of Taiping, they probably weren't strong enough to raid a mid-grade spirit stone mine. After all, with so many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators guarding the formation, it was hardly their turn—four practitioners at the late Qi Condensation stage—to run amok.

"Naturally. Words spoken upstairs are nothing more than casual chatter; what is said here stays here," Jinhua smiled harmlessly.

Yet that hiccup and breathless sensation, which had only just improved, was now threatening to happen all over again.

He lifted the immobilization spell on the hostages. The expressions on the faces of those who regained their ability to move shifted instantly from astonishment to wild elation. They might not have been able to move, but that didn't mean they couldn't hear.

This was practically a bachelor's degree level, scoring over five hundred points. As long as she was willing to study hard, there was nothing she couldn't achieve.

The golden silk gu worms wreaked havoc, affecting the greedy villagers nearby. The villagers died in batches while trying to dig for the gold mine, and the vital essence of these victims all became scrap ingredients for Hu Dingkun to nurture his starving ghost ulcers. In a way, Hu Dingkun and Zhen Ji had forged an unspoken alliance.

"Master, are we still going up to seize the Heavenly Sword?" Ding Minjun asked Abbess Miejue, watching as Liu Yuan pulled the Heavenly Sword from the Abbess's severed hand.

"Saving the dying and healing the injured is originally what a doctor ought to do. As long as they haven't committed heinous crimes, I believe those physicians will be more than happy to treat you," Zhu Chen added.

What lay beneath all this? No one spoke of it. Moreover, the matter of Zhu Yanyan ordering them down the mountain to waylay people was also successfully covered up.

However, if the Third Prince were to learn of the behavior of certain individuals within the Snow Eagle Tribe, it might bring down reprimands and warnings. The Prince might even place their tribe under strict control and make an example of them! Such was Ren San's assessment.

"Lost?" Yan Lian stood with a proud, upright posture. Having absorbed the inheritance of the demons, the markings on his body had entirely vanished. Yet, due to the nature of the power he practiced, his presence remained exceedingly faint, akin to an assassin lurking in the shadows.
