Xing Jue raised an eyebrow. "I don't know. I have nothing to do with Xing Ani."

He distanced himself completely, as if casting away the lingering ties of the past seven years to feed the dogs.

Si Yao curled her lips. "I wasn't asking you. I was asking Xu Yinian. Back when you and Xing Ani were nearly married, he never distanced himself from her. Why, now that she's pregnant, is he suddenly cutting ties?"

...

"Marshal, the launch angles for the ten atomic bombs have been calibrated and are ready for launch at any time!" the assistant reported upon entering Scott's office.

Given Feng Yezheng's already impressive culinary skills, with Su Ming further empowering him using the astral force, losing would simply be out of the question.

As the saying goes, follow the rooster if you marry a rooster, follow the dog if you marry a dog. When the old Ning family fell upon hard times, Yu'er followed her husband without hesitation to this desolate Liangnan Circuit, specifically Gaozhou Liangde County, where she began a bitter and impoverished life.

If the two prefectures of Dengzhou and Laizhou cannot be retaken, the capital will have to keep a large garrison for defense from now on. But how are they to be recaptured?

"Haha, alright, let's head out, Jason!" Dio laughed heartily as he said to Terry. They were old acquaintances of many years, yet Terry was still putting on polite airs here.

The Poison King did not waste words with this withered, skinny old man, because every extra second delayed meant Su Ming was a fraction more in danger.

After tempering the body through a myriad of cultivation arts, a practitioner's physical form becomes harder than gold and iron, and its density naturally far exceeds that of ordinary people.

"Major Cage, please allow me to interrupt. Are you describing Iron Man or Spider-Man?" one of the agents couldn't help but ask jokingly.

Although Academy Principal Yan was looking up, Wu Zijian still caught the subtle shift of the gaze in his eyes.

Wang Yue was not only ahead of them on the path of professional esports; before they had even participated in a single professional esports match, Wang Yue had already fought numerous battles in the highly authoritative Hundred Cities League God of War Cup preliminaries.

Yanyu frowned. She had heard earlier that the eunuchs castrated in the palace had heavily distorted psychological states and often acted contrary to conventional norms. She hadn't paid much attention to it before, nor did she hold any particular malice toward eunuchs, thinking originally that since their bodies were already mutilated, they were pitiful enough; if they were to be despised on top of that, wouldn't they be even more wretched?

"Since the Prince Ning's Estate is managed so strictly by the 端木 (Duanmu) clan, how could you possibly find a way to tamper with anything?" Su Ruhui asked in a low voice from behind the curtains.

Her body was lifted into someone's arms. Qiao Song looked up at the person who had come. The face was very familiar, but after staring for a long time, her mind remained a complete blank, unable to recognize who it was.

On August 28, 1987, the entire Taipei Metro system was fully opened. While reporting this news, the Spanish newspaper *ABC* (El Español) combined it with the dilemmas faced by Spain's high-speed rail and proposed its own solution: why doesn't Spanish high-speed rail try public-private partnerships?

Returning to Shanghai and breathing in the familiar air of China after a long absence, Wang Yue was in an exceptionally good mood. He fished an outdated smartphone out of his pocket, and as soon as he turned it on, a flood of missed calls and text messages chimed in.

Su Ruhui and the other three, along with the imperial princes, quietly withdrew from Detai Hall. Stepping outside, they were hit by the cold wind, causing Ganpei in Ganlin's arms to cough a few times. The princes' wet nurses and elderly maids, already waiting outside to serve, hurried to unfold cloaks and take Ganpei, wrapping him up securely.

However, the opposing general remained completely motionless, leisurely drank a cup of wine, and then unleashed a sudden, powerful strike.

"No! No! I have to go see him! If you don't let me see him right now, do you believe I'll jump off this building right this second?!" she shrieked hoarsely. Using her hands to prop herself up from the wheelchair to sit, she fell back down because her left arm lacked strength, her body slamming heavily into the wheelchair. Bai Nian struggled even more violently.
