Volume One, Chapter 33: The Child's Father Has Arrived

In the darkness, all was silent. The voices outside the alley slowly faded away until they vanished completely, leaving the alley feeling like a world unto itself. A sense of nervous tension rose unbidden in the young man's heart. After they were firmly bound by Xing Shachen's Dao Lotus, Xiao Lin finally shouted out his "Radiance of the Nine Provinces."

More than ten days later, somewhere in the capital, Tang Zhun emerged from his room, stretching lazily. Behind him, the building echoed with shouts of surprise and delight. The pain shocked him nearly to madness. He tried to run a few steps; the sensation of running was just as it was in reality—even his breathing felt the same.

Huzi told her not to be anxious, to wait for word. Afterward, the two of us left the karaoke bar. In my heart, I knew as clearly as a mirror: expecting payment? That was like throwing water on sand.

As Adam finished speaking, the power of rules gathered swiftly, dissolving all the lightning between Hall’s fists. Hall’s bare hands, exuding an overwhelming momentum, struck toward Adam. Meanwhile, Ying Zheng returned to Xianyang at dusk and summoned Lord Biao, Mi Chen, Meng Wu, and others to Zhangtai Palace for counsel.

Letting Alice marry Adam was not out of the question; the two had long harbored feelings for each other—truly a most felicitous match. Hearing these words, everyone was struck with terror, even Mo Wu’an was startled. His enemies were everywhere, yet Lin Ye, who had shown him kindness, only accumulated debts of gratitude—as if the whole world owed her a favor.

Our motorcycle surged toward the tall man opposite us. He panicked, and before he could fire, it was already too late. Fortunately, this was the Tianjin Kaihai construction site, where large tools were abundant. Yan Song called for several pulley cranes designed by Cheng Dawei, and hundreds of laborers, chanting in unison, hoisted the blue whale onto a gigantic cart.

Yes, in the past he must have wanted to surprise Roger, which was why he hadn't told him. Qin Luo comforted himself with this thought. The bond between teacher and student is second only to that of father and son—the closest of all. As the saying goes, "A disciple does not speak of his master’s faults." If the master is at fault, the disciple cannot even mention it, let alone object.

"..." Jinyu looked at Shi Xie with some speechlessness. Was it really appropriate for a great deity like you to brainwash a child this way? Still, thinking of the bond between those siblings, Jinyu reasoned that even if locked together, they would never be bored, and so she didn't dwell on the matter.

The new Vice Minister of Works, favored by Jiajing, was appointed project supervisor for the Three Great Halls and continued their construction. The being who brought her to this world, a monster of unimaginable power—whatever he wished to do, she was powerless to resist, much less stop.

Watching Mei, who was so inexplicably nervous and clumsy, now falling backward, Kenpachi was exasperated but didn’t forget to reach out and catch her hand, gently pulling her upright.

"This is my home! Why would I need the wind to blow me here?" Lin Mo replied. As for the "other person" he mentioned, it was Ye Kaicheng, but Xu Zuoyan would never admit that he, too, had reacted.

In the Infinite Worlds, most ranged players were either support or damage dealers—classes like the spiritualist or archer were common sights in the national servers. On guard, the two young "Chaos Blood Demon Clan" prodigies each launched an attack.

Two distinctly different beams of light shot toward Ditak and Lukiel. Lukiel raised his arm to block, but even though his armor was exceptionally tough, the force from the two beams still drove him back.

A series of faint, indifferent laughter suddenly sounded. Players from all sides looked over to see Yun Tianlan, Master of the Heavenly Dao Skeleton Sect, strolling leisurely to Zhou Sicong’s side.

As for Qiao Feng, he was still in his prime; barring any accidents, he could remain leader for another twenty or thirty years. With no successor chosen for the Dog Beating Staff technique, his sudden resignation was indeed unusual.

They had only just landed when the sky filled with the clash of skills and weapons; clearly, elite players on both sides had already begun testing the Centipede King Boss.

The violet-red primordial divine beast, Jiao Dragon, unleashed an onslaught—and in a single night, it vanished, melted into nothingness by the iridescent butterfly flames.

The few on the blue team were typing messages when suddenly js appeared again! Their faces turned pale with fright, and they immediately switched to all-chat.

"What are you doing!" His hand was seized by Kemu, who, with a sudden shove, sent Mu Xichen stumbling forward, only stopping when he landed in front of Kemu.

"For your crimes, you shall suffer the punishment of three blades and six holes, each cut drawing blood. You are stripped of your position as sect leader, forbidden from stepping into the Kongtong Sect for the rest of your life, and never again may you claim to be a disciple of Kongtong."

"Because you are the man I love. I want to tell you in front of my mother, so that she can witness my feelings for you."

Sages are the eyes and ears of the people; the people are the body of the sage. Should Yangzi be unworthy, he must serve the worthy above him; if he is virtuous, then he must fear Heaven’s mandate and pity the hardships of men.

Li Xiaoyao’s head throbbed instantly. Refusing now would only make things awkward between them. He took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and walked on with Qian Yingying as if nothing had happened.

Within the ancient cave, three elders exchanged shocked glances but dared not delay. They each unleashed their powers, and chains like the cords of heaven and earth firmly secured the Xuanyuan Sword.

Everyone watched in confusion as Ye Bufan turned away. Suddenly, with a loud thud, Zhao Huan collapsed to the ground, gasping desperately for air.
