25 The Twenty-Fifth Iron Pillar

It was not until his back disappeared into the hospital room that Xiao Zitian turned around. The bone-chilling cold from outside the window continued to seep in. Xiao Zitian shrank into herself; she had vaguely caught the sound coming from Mu Yingchen’s phone just a moment ago.

Fan Shengmei’s finger rested on the mouse, subconsciously scrolling up and down, though her eyes remained fixed on the dancing numbers. Whether from eye strain or something else, her eyes grew moist.

By the time the two of them woke up, the day was already bright. Despite not sleeping a wink, they felt quite energetic. After freshening up, they immediately drove to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

After he finished speaking, perhaps due to the urgency of the situation inside, he did not wait for my reply and pushed open the door, entering the ward swiftly.

In particular, the young man who apologized was well-mannered and so pleasing to the eye that it was difficult to be harsh with him.

Enchanting and beautiful as jade, thriving and exquisite, a house filled with gold. Yet, for all her talent, the melody was flawed; all her sorrow could not win a single glance from Master Zhao.

After all, her personality was terrible! Her character was poor! She had no real virtues, and the fact that he could take a fancy to her made her suspect that his eyes were clouded by something. She feared that one day, when the veil covering his eyes was lifted, he would point at her head and curse her for deceiving him.

However, having said that, my suspicion and resentment toward Jian Ting suddenly faded. The fact that he liked Mi Li was not necessarily a bad thing for me.

Xia Qingxiao slowly opened her eyes; her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if opening them required every ounce of her strength.

Jiang Yunshu paused her gaming, not daring to mention the argument between Jiangjiang and Jiang Yunzhou at the concert.

After all, giving him a knife directly would be letting him off too easily; it would be better if he suffered a slow and agonizing death from liver disease or cancer.

Lillie’s body stiffened, but after a moment, she slowly relaxed and wrapped her arms around Xu Qianshu’s neck.

It was a sunny day, with lush trees lining the streets. Whenever the wind blew, petals of various colors mixed with green leaves would fall—the perfect weather.

She frowned, her already unhappy mood becoming even more sour.

But if Zhao Ji were to become a tyrant, he would not have been so easily invited to the Yang Mansion by Liang Shichen at this moment. After all, Zhao Ji was no fool; he understood the importance of military power.

Nani! Although Senior Tanba was startled, having already committed to his pitching motion, he had to bite the bullet and throw the ball.

Because that black robe was identical to the one worn by the Shadow Berserker that Bai Mo had killed earlier.

Subsequently, Bai Mo entered Qingzhou City. Since the city was located in the heart of Qingzhou, the demon race had not yet advanced to this point.

These top-tier demons possessed bodies that were naturally high-grade materials, brimming with potent demonic power; those tooth-blades were all crafted from the demons’ own teeth.

Yang Zhi asked with a smile. She was extremely sensitive to social hierarchies and had already caught a whiff of something unusual.

Di Luca and Freya had very different reactions to Thor’s current state. Di Luca was shocked and startled, while Freya narrowed her eyes in delight—she had finally found a companion.

She widened her eyes in terror, feeling both ashamed and indignant at Gannan’s reckless and crude actions.

Lin Chen stared dumbfounded as Chu Yun and Shen Yu emerged from the room. Seeing Chu Yun covered in sweat and recalling the sounds from the room just moments ago, he immediately understood what had happened.

For a time, the media even wanted to use this as a gimmick, labeling it a model of unwavering, steadfast love, and sought to promote it vigorously.

As he spoke, his consciousness covered the entire star system, instantly seizing control of the two nearby stars, one on the left and one on the right.

Franz, as a staunch ally of Hugo, was naturally among those invited. For these two days of meetings, it wasn’t the Sensi family sending representatives, but General Manager Baldini. Baldini sat back and watched the tigers fight, much like the old fox Galliani, without making his position clear.

There was no point in fighting for first place in Ligue 1 because it was reserved for Lyon; they stood alone at the top and were hard to defeat. The important thing was second place. Since the league had only just begun, there was no need to rush; Theriot still trusted Ricardo.

In this season’s Super Cup, he had almost succeeded in his revenge, but Messi’s eruption caused him to fall short at the last moment. This time, he had lost everything, down to his very foundations; Ranieri had dismantled his "false nine" formation with a defensive counter-attack.

Although Madman had been active on popular streaming platforms before, there was a difference between casual play and professional leagues. Even setting aside his potential decline in form, while he still maintained excellent mechanical skill, the fact remained that he was 25 years old.

Hearing Jun Chenhan’s words, Jun Wang sneered, his gaze toward Ling Qing filled with mockery.

Perhaps influenced by the old mistress, when Hu Ma saw Zeng Jing, she lacked the respect she showed Liao Jingtang. She merely bowed perfunctorily, offered a greeting, and then sat down in a chair.

As Duanmu Xue spoke, her breathing grew heavier while her voice grew softer. I knew that was the effect of the drug; she was about to become what Haozi had described, and when that happened, it wouldn’t be Haozi forcing her, but her begging Haozi.

It was just like her previous life, where she was a pawn in someone else’s hands, stupidly seeking her own death; the final outcome was infuriating.

The two of us walked over and had a drink with Dalong. Then, Lin Na went back, but I didn't; instead, I sat down directly beside Dalong.

This was understandable. Ever since Qi’er was born, Li’er had doted on her only younger brother. Whenever there was something delicious or fun, she would always yield it to him, only taking her turn after he had eaten and played to his heart's content.
