Volume 1, Chapter 52: Elder brother said I cannot let you spend the night alone in an empty room.

Upon learning that the Xie family would be staying at the manor for a few months, Song Yaozhu personally arranged their quarters and attendants, ensuring everything was proper and considerate.

Even the dishes served for lunch were prepared to the Xie family's tastes.

Xie Liwei stood by the dining table, looking at Song Yaozhu with a smile on her face, and asked, "What poison has the Princess administered?"

Song Yaozhu: "......A tongue-slicing potion!"

She gave Xie Liwei a resentful glare.

The members of the Xie family watched the interaction between the couple and exchanged glances. They somehow felt as though they had already been fed something inexplicable before even taking a seat at the table......

After they were seated, the clan head took the seat of honor, with Xie Lü and Xie Liwei seated on his left and right in order. Song Yaozhu......

"Having known him for so long, you don't even have this much faith in him?" Cang Wuxian chuckled softly.

"If you put it that way, does Sister Ruyue also feel that Lady Ji's identity is problematic?" Hua Qingcheng asked.

The towering structure was exceptionally majestic, easily standing thousands of meters high just by visual estimation. The entire tower radiated a jade-like luster, as if it had been entirely carved from a single, massive piece of jade.

"Am I really going to die?" For a moment, all other images vanished from Duan Yi's mind, replaced solely by this solemn and awe-inspiring question.

"Alright, don't overthink it. Since I said I would ensure your return to the West, I will certainly keep my word," Ouyang Tingshuang said with absolute conviction.

The tricks on stage continued methodically. Aside from the Chen family's artifact crafting at the very beginning, the remaining eight spots were all quietly reserved in advance.

Shortly after, he could clearly feel a warm, familiar force enveloping his entire body, directly pulling him into another vast world.

And this year, through its own development efforts, Egret Island had launched numerous economic projects—especially in agriculture and tourism—allowing it to shed the label of an impoverished mountain region and march toward higher aspirations.

With a fierce roar, Zhan Tian leaped up several zhang, his heavy left shield pressing down ruthlessly toward the giant python.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation and anticipating the potential developments ahead, Lin Kongkong felt somewhat restless.

Ever since her debut, rumors of puppy love had followed her, but she had refuted them all. Even this year, internet rumors ran rampant claiming she was passionately obsessed with Yunlang, the internationally renowned pianist.

Another section was the region stretching from the Eastern Pyrenees to the Mediterranean, where the mountains are relatively low. Particularly about forty-three kilometers from the Mediterranean, there is a mountain pass three hundred meters high, serving as a vital traffic artery connecting the north and south.

The Third Cohort of Church Knights, numerically inferior, lacked the courage and momentum to fight head-on against the aggressive Norman knights, and could only retreat in disgrace.

Qin Xue let out a cold cry, attempting to launch an attack, only to discover that after sustaining heavy injuries, her vital energy was sealed within her Qi sea and could not be channeled at all.

They saw that the tail fin of the warship bore the emblem of a soaring eagle—a symbol both Lin Hao and Yang Yan recognized. It was the special insignia painted on the spacetime shuttle that Zihan had piloted away, for that shuttle was named the Flying Eagle.

"Although Brother Yamata's story is fascinating, I still detected a few abnormal loopholes, and it is precisely because of these anomalies that I am forced to abandon our cooperation," Yan Yunxing said, maintaining a smile as he spoke unhurriedly.

"Since its effect is so powerful, why can't it become the primary crowd-control skill during boss fights?" the dual-sword player continued to ask.

The power of divine patterns on the stone physique confronted the golden-origin divine pattern beast head-on. Under the impact of the formidable power, the golden-origin divine pattern beast blurred and rippled.

Not only him, but the two scoundrels inseparable from him had not returned either, and even Jiang Li was missing.

Enveloped by this terrifying coercive aura, Tang Chen immediately felt his blood churning, as if he were being crushed beneath a massive mountain.

Zhunti of Wuzhuang Taoist Temple likewise stared wide-eyed,掐指 calculating on his fingers, his eyes filled with boundless regret.

They could not help their fear and wild imagination. Instead of offering explanations to the terrified pair, Qingyun continued to intimidate them.

Gan Chun had just wanted to drink poison to follow her late fiancé in death, and this was part of the reason. Fortunately, Bian family guards arrived in time to avert a tragedy.

Dao Xing Tianzun, Master Qingxu Daode, and Master Taiyi also stepped forward. At this moment, two Daluo Immortals of the 阐教 (Explanation Teaching), along with three of the Twelve Golden Immortals, clearly came to press their demands.

Just as Xuanzang and Fahai exchanged glances and walked toward the Pure Altar Temple at the foot of the mountain, the avatars of Buddhas and saints from both Mahayana Buddhism and Western Buddhism happened to cross paths.

He said that right after turning off the light, he had seen his son's face, wrinkled entirely from being soaked in water.

Though slightly more crude compared to the Shuntian Imperial Palace of similar scale, this was north of the frontier; what more could they ask for?

Amidst a heaven-reaching roar and three thousand flowing black hairs, the ferocity on Tongtian's face gradually faded, leaving behind only endless indifference. With crimson eyes, his surging sword intent pierced straight into the clouds.

The two Foundation Establishment Tier 2 and Tier 1 cultivators of the Lu family sensed Wu Tao's Tier 4 Foundation Establishment cultivation base, and both felt a surge of joy.

Something resembling a tumor was moving inside Elder Ye's abdomen toward his chest.

Only about half of the content was understood, and the translation, relying on guesswork, turned out somewhat disjointed.

She was a person of profound passion and sincerity. From the very beginning, he had accepted this aspect of her and embraced her without hesitation.

Zhang Yongnan puffed away on his dry tobacco pipe, his brow furrowed deeply, the wrinkles on his face intersecting like a vast and desolate wilderness.

Yin Shixiu leaned back against the sofa, looking at Chen澜 before him. He knew very well that Chen澜 simply had gossip factors acting up inside her.

The deed was done; no matter how unwilling he was to admit that the bones in that coffin belonged to Li Dong's great-uncle, he had no choice but to believe it.

Sun Qingfeng's repeated pleas for survival were likely for this reason. He believed that curing this poison and saving a life would be a monumental achievement. Even if there were any minor flaws, it should not warrant death. However, as a subject, he dared not openly negotiate such terms with his sovereign.

As a successful military commander, he naturally knew how to show consideration for his subordinates. Zhao Yi nodded and ordered his soldiers to make camp outside Puying County.

Looking at the giant scorpion before them, the group felt lingering fear mingled with a sense of fortune. Fortunately, it was already dead; otherwise, they truly would not have known how to deal with it.

He took a deep breath, the previous anger feeling like a punch landing in a pile of cotton, leaving him utterly powerless.

"Damn it, I just arrived in the Demon Realm and ran into a mighty demon. Perfect, Your Crown Prince is just looking to stretch his muscles. Let me see what kind of monster this is." Nezha gave a slight sway, producing a demon-slaying sword and a fiery spear in his hands, preparing to attack the oncoming demon.

"Is that so? Very well then." Fanying did not suspect a thing, nodded, and began attentively listening to Kangta explain the emotional focal points and performance techniques of the song.
