Volume 1, Chapter 22: He Leaves Without a Word, Jiang Yuan Is Disappointed

Chen Xiangxiang curled her lips and glanced sideways, saying, "You certainly didn't hesitate to accept those things."

"What's mine is yours, after all," Jiang Yuan replied with a grin, not the least bit embarrassed.

Shi Zhenxiang’s sudden action startled Lin Yixue, who instinctively tried to dodge, but Xiao Yalin pulled her back, forcing her to accept the bow head-on.

The Chinese legal system places immense importance on filial piety. Among the ten most heinous crimes, two are specifically aimed at unfilial behavior: "evil rebellion," which covers assaulting or murdering parents, and "lack of filial piety," which covers general failure to honor them.

Had it not been for the approaching dusk and the sound of reinforcements from the anti-Japanese forces, Kogen Jiro would never have retreated; he was determined to annihilate this resistance unit.

Lin Yumai sympathized with the Black Wolf’s plight and expressed his understanding, but he was far more concerned with the stone tablet the Black Wolf had mentioned.

The moment the telescopic baton struck, I heard a hiss. It didn't feel like hitting flesh and bone. I was stunned, and Huzi let out a surprised "Eh?"

The three old men remained motionless, but suddenly, I heard the barking of a dog. The sound was deep and resonant.

Should I take a few photos for them? Go out for a meal or stroll around the shops? Or maybe get a hotel room? No, no, that would be taking things way too far.

From a distance, Li Quan spotted a beautiful figure waiting at the exit, and the corners of his mouth turned up. The eldest Sun daughter hadn't come, but the second one had. Still, if Sun Yu hadn't told her, how would Sun Qingqing have known which train he was on?

Tang Haofei let out a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere gradually became livelier—even if that liveliness was largely performative.

This code was the same one involving the pork seller and the butcher that I had once used to make contact with Gao Teng.

Dodging the high-temperature magma projectiles, Ai’s dark face turned uncharacteristically pale. He had pushed his stamina to the limit and exhausted his chakra; had it not been for the constant support of the elite ninjas arriving from the village, he might not have held out for so long.

The second spell was the highly practical Dispel Magic, specifically designed to counter debilitating status effects like blindness. Sometimes, friendly units on the battlefield might also be affected by petrification or paralysis, and Dispel could immediately restore them to their state, allowing them to return to the fray.

This was the result of Lin Yu using less than one-tenth of his strength; had he gone all out, Su Li would likely have been blown to pieces. The power of a cultivator is not to be underestimated.

Given their levels of cultivation and the combined force of their magical powers, it was estimated that only a deity who had reached the perfection of the Three Flowers Gathered at the Crown could break the formation they had set.

The ninja, kneeling on one knee, responded loudly. He formed hand seals and suddenly vanished from the spot, causing the candlelight to flicker violently and the shadows on the wall to dance along with the swaying flame.

A disciple, unable to stand it any longer, prepared to shout and stop Er Qing, but a single sideways glance from him rendered the disciple unable to utter another word.

Within White Cloud City, four teleportation arrays had been constructed, distributed across the four different cardinal directions.

Seeing Shen Wuchen intervene to save them, and watching the fire dragon sweep away, the burly, thick-set man shouted urgently.

Although He Yao had previously learned from the Old Turtle of the Tongtian River about the difficulty of cultivating the Nine-Turn Mysterious Art, hearing it from Er Qing now made it clear that it was infinitely more difficult than the Old Turtle had suggested.

The barrier at the Yellow Springs Ferry had forcibly squeezed Xiao Xiao out. I dared not force it through the barrier, fearing it would be harmed by the malevolent energy, so I had no choice but to send it back to Pingchuan first, for which Che Wufei thanked me profusely.
