Volume 1, Chapter 41: Exchanging Gloves

"What are your plans regarding Grandpa and Grandma?" Chen Xiangxiang asked, untying her scarf.
"They'll stay here for now. The house over there is uninhabitable; we'll see how things go after the New Year and spring arrive."
"That works, but will your mother-in-law and the others agree?"
"It's already settled."
After chatting for a while, Chen Xiangxiang went to check on Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang before leaving.

Before he had even finished speaking, he instantly felt a wave of regret. Sure enough, upon hearing this, everyone present cast looks of utter contempt toward him.

Did Su Huan really sneak out in the middle of the night just to perform a Taoist ritual? After going so long without seeing her lover, could she possibly not miss him?

Seeing Qin Mu hoist the tricycle overhead and charge straight at them, the expressions of all three men changed drastically. Was this even human? A tricycle weighing over two hundred kilograms was lifted just like that! How could they dare linger? Terrified, they turned and fled on the spot.

"Elder Sister, I've heard that a certain ginseng from foreign lands is exceptionally effective at calming liver fire. I happen to have some in my room; why not fetch it for the Dowager to take?" Yun Que'er had no desire to keep listening to Li Kui go on about those heroic tales, as it would only get in the way of her trying to have her way with Wu Song.

Su Yang picked up the clothes from the bed, pulled out his ID card, and tossed it straight at Yu Li.

Given Long Jun's current level of cultivation, this was all he could manage for the time being. If he wanted to completely eradicate the chill poison within Yang Mei's body, he would likely have to wait until his cultivation reached a much higher realm.

Facing the roaring head elder of the Qi family, Su Yang was completely bewildered. Brother was just using this Holy Soul Stone to slightly recover his soul, alright? Where on earth did this talk of a breakthrough come from?

"Of course his rank is higher than mine. As for why he wants to see Brother Chen, I suppose it's because your performance deeply impressed the leadership!" Deng Ming truly lived up to his title as the district manager; he could lie without changing his expression or missing a beat.

Hearing this, Wu Song was consumed with fury, yet he forcefully restrained himself. His primary concern was Pan Jinlian, who lay prostrate on the ground. Stealing a glance, he saw her fists clenched tightly, her pearly teeth nearly biting through her lips. It was clear she was enduring the agony with all her might, unwilling to lose her composure in front of others—she was fiercely proud.

Left to hide inside the jade gourd, although she did not know whether the entity behind the scenes had discovered her presence, Left still decided to tuck herself safely away within the vessel.

Upon seeing that Gu Shuo did not stop at all and was charging straight toward it, the bull let out another fierce, angry bellow and lunged directly at him.

At this moment, He Meiyuan turned her head, her beautiful eyes blinking lightly, seemingly holding a hint of playful amusement. Yet, beneath this seemingly poised and effortless gaze, she still could not conceal the two rosy blushes blooming across her tender, fair cheeks.

"Damn it, only those of us on the inside know about this. We'll just claim that bastard was scared off by our own men—so what if we do? Who's going to question it?" Lü Wei furrowed his brow, waved his hand dismissively, and then pulled ten thousand yuan from a drawer, slamming it down onto the table.

"Lord Yeqiu, the National Preceptor has been waiting for quite some time," a guard stepped forward, making a gesture of invitation.

Lin Wei took the key tossed to him by Fang Yu, bowed respectfully, and turned to head back to the cell. The moment he stepped inside, he was startled by the glittering gazes surrounding him.

The color of the entire blood pool transformed in an instant, turning clear and transparent, completely devoid of its previous oppressive aura of surging blood qi.

Now that he had obtained another illusory snake inner core, all of Gu Shuo's hopes rested squarely upon it.

Though Shen Hong was unfamiliar with the military titles and ranks here, judging by the man's attitude while speaking, he could already infer a thing or two about him.

Constantine XI was appointed before traveling from the Despotate of Morea to Constantinople to ascend the throne as emperor.

With the sound of a few colliding wine bottles, the largest faction of the six brothers in the western suburbs was pacified just like that, without the slightest effort.
