Warm Faces and Cold Shoulders

"So, you created this password specifically to escape your parents' control?" Zhao Ruozhi could not understand why Zhou Yi was so nervous over what seemed to be a family matter.

Hearing the familiar, indignant bass voice, Su Qianyu originally intended to set down the petri dish and leave, but she felt a strange urge to see who was actually in the room.

Looking at the dark circles under his eyes and his haggard expression—as if he had aged several years in just two days—Zhao Yun guessed the reason for his distress.

It was then that it dawned on me: Zhang Yang was trying to lure the malevolent spirits away to buy us time to escape. Yet, at that very moment, I noticed a face among the attracted spirits that looked strangely familiar.

Applause erupted once more, and the flashes from below clicked incessantly, capturing Tu Fei’s figure on camera.

Memorizing a full hundred digits in just over ten minutes was something Tang Tang certainly could not have done under normal circumstances. But in this specially constructed scenario, he had succeeded, which proved that his intuition was correct.

It was as if she were saying, "Look, this is all charity I've bestowed upon you." Proud as she was, Shen Xiangxiang could hardly bear it; she felt the urge to overturn the table.

Furthermore, he disliked the name "Seven Wonders Tower." It should have been "Eight Wonders," with eight levels; he did not care for the number seven.

The position of assistant was quite important to him, and he wouldn't trust just anyone with it.

Luo Xiu chuckled. Making himself at home, he rose, retrieved a bottle of red wine and two glasses from the nearby sideboard, poured them full, and began clinking glasses with Hou Erjiu as if no one else were in the room. The Li family watched the scene, their faces twisted with fury.

Thus it is said: Petitioning is a special affair, handled with special measures for special problems; using an opponent's force against them is a last resort, and the struggle of tracking and pursuit is truly shaking.

How strong was Sanae’s combat prowess? Aside from Reimu, Alice had also lost to her several times.

Hou Sha and Lou San were stunned. They could not understand why the four spirit beasts had suddenly turned crimson-eyed and launched such a violent assault against them.

"Who did this?" Huang Fei took two steps forward, examined Murong Xianglong from head to toe, and then asked.

Later, I gritted my teeth and prepared to use the rope to climb up, but the wild boar seemed to grasp my intent. After I dodged one of its flank attacks, it used its tusks to snap my rope in two.

As the name implies, a chain letter is passed from person to person over and over again, much like being bound together by chains.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect you to be so clever. To think you could even find this place," the dark shadow said arrogantly.

Okazaki Mimi felt an instinctive urge to curl up, overwhelmed by a deep-seated anxiety and a sense of mental pressure.

Old Master Leng was actually bewildered. He had been ushered into the car by the Second Elder in a daze, with no one ever asking for his opinion. Ordinarily, a businessman who had built such a massive empire would not allow himself to be pushed around, but they seemed inherently terrified of such masters, causing their minds to lose all sharpness.

"So what if it's a Yellow-grade exotic wood? I can still become a second-level beast master!" Ye Feng declared confidently.

If he hadn't said anything, Shen Mutong wouldn't have thought much of it, but hearing such words now left her feeling somewhat restless.

Suddenly, a warm, resonant voice echoed through the room, startling everyone. They looked on as the person who had been lying on the bed—all skin and bones, seemingly at death's door—lazily sat up.

"Uh," hearing Mihawk’s reasoning, Li Yi’s eyes widened. But then again, that was Mihawk’s personality; in the era when Luffy set sail, he had once destroyed dozens of pirate ships under a pirate fleet just to pass the time.

Donghuang Taiyi was shocked. Not long after exchanging blows with Zhang Tian, the man had broken through from the Great Perfection of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm to become a Quasi-Saint.

If Shen Xialan had truly been as she appeared, even if she felt the slightest bit of aversion toward Liu Yunshen, she would have discussed this matter with her beforehand. After all, marriage is meant to forge bonds, not enmity, and she would have sought out Liu Yunshen herself to resolve the issue.

On Xuanyuan Mubai’s side, there was only himself and Xuari; the rest were ordinary guards with quite weak combat capabilities. Su Wu had only brought Helan Qingwu, who possessed no martial arts skills, that day.

Although Chu Xunshen had not been seen for several days, it was unknown whether he had left the Brahma Domain. For a time, they could not figure out why he was refusing to show himself, and thus, a stalemate ensued.

Zhang Tian unleashed his Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation, and suddenly, as if by divine power, the void grew thick with dark clouds, and an incredibly terrifying pressure descended.

If the opponent had been Kunpeng, that would be one thing, as he could not defeat Kunpeng. But for the likes of Qiuniu and Yazi—mere ants at the Quasi-Saint level—to act so insolently toward him, how could he maintain his dignity and face as a Saint if he did not teach them a severe lesson!?

"Shu'er, you're awake. How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable? Should I call the imperial physician? Are you hungry? I’ll go pour you some water..." Flustered and staring at Feng Qing, Ye Qingyu’s words were disjointed, clearly overcome with worry.

Unexpectedly, Chu Bin pulled such a move. The other burly men scrambled to fight back, but an improvised defense could never be as fierce as one that was prepared in advance.

The boy seemed unwilling to eat; he grabbed a small amount with reluctance and turned his head to look out the carriage window.
