31 Jealousy?

Seeing his troubled expression, she realized things might not be as he had thought and immediately changed the subject.

That day was a rare moment of happiness for An Qiang. Shen Tinglan was so gentle and considerate that she, having never seen this side of him before, was instantly captivated.

Every word glimmered with a mysterious and solemn light, as if carrying infinite power and significance.

Yan Ning felt the voice from across the way was familiar, yet for a moment, she could not place who it was.

Xie Jing spoke with great sincerity; he had long since made An Nian his entire world and simply could not live without her.

These clothes were all handmade by Mrs. Sheng, crafted from exceptionally soft fabrics specifically for the postpartum period.

In truth, Consort Li had risked sending her younger sister into the Regent's mansion partly to help the Emperor win over Shen Tinglan. Having an inside contact always made things easier, but the Emperor was too cowardly. He feared the influence behind the Empress, so even when he favored the consort, he would never hold the Empress accountable for her sake.

Jiang Chu opened the wardrobe. Pressed for time, she casually selected a simple white strapless gown.

She had never cared for Yu Pingyang in the first place; if not for her mother’s insistence on leaving with him, she would never have come here at all.

The house itself remained intact, but the coffee table and everything on it were shattered—all destroyed by Bai Ruolian’s own frantic outburst.

Asama Yi began learning sage arts in the Wet Bone Forest, while his shadow clones handled the administrative affairs, with Senju Tsunade assisting on the side.

Li Qianshun watched Chage depart with the great army before turning back to the palace to convene a secret meeting.

Tang San nodded and placed the plate crystal on the ground. A faint soul power slowly flowed out, channeling from his hands into the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Brother, your knowledge is limited. Those two immortal herbs at most grant immunity to one or two types of attributes, and the utility of such immunity is actually quite mundane."

Just as he had said, every time Chen Aiqing finished her shift and walked out of the convenience store, she could always see Rong Yi waiting at the entrance.

She did not ask Rong Yi to buy her a plane ticket, but after booking her return flight, she sent him a WeChat message.

From Zhao Lingfu’s father down to the common Naga, all the Naga snake-people held Ye Jiangchuan in high regard.

Chen Qin had only been here a few days, but he could sense a pervasive, inexplicable anxiety among the people he encountered, as if the Liao court were about to make a major decision.

The spirit energy experiments had to be conducted slowly. Li Hao thought of first filling the gaps in his medical knowledge so that he could better handle similar situations in the future.

A buzzing sound rang out. To Lian’s astonishment, the space before him rippled like water. Suddenly, the scenery shifted violently, and after a dizzying sensation, Lian opened his eyes to find the city gates right before him.

Chu Yun thought it wasn't necessarily so, but he didn't want to dampen Ma Peng’s enthusiasm at such a critical juncture.

"Thud." Shui Lianyue knelt straight down on the ground. With her phoenix eyes, she stared coldly at Shui Yunheng, neither humble nor pushy, while Hong Ying followed suit behind her.

As for the crowd around them, Jun Yang ignored them entirely; it was obvious they were only there to watch him make a fool of himself.

"What’s this? If Servant A can drink, I, Servant B, am no worse! Come, I toast the landlady." With that, Servant B downed a full bowl of turbid wine in one go, proudly showing off the bottom of the bowl afterward.

At this moment, the ruins of the Thunder Emperor had become the talk of the entire Heavenly Emperor City, pushed to such a significant level of discussion that many had already begun placing bets.

After entering the hall, Nangong Yu took two steps forward, flicked the hem of his robe, and knelt on a prayer mat beside Shui Lianyue. Only after performing the formal rites did he stand up.

Of course, there were some exceptional individuals among the dwarves who, after exerting ten times the effort of an ordinary human, finally earned a modicum of fame and recognition.

"The envoy has been startled. Seat him!" Ma Teng waved his hand, and a soldier brought over a folding stool for the envoy.

"Secondly, if Wang Fen sends troops, he will surely send generals to assist. I do not like having foreign generals interfering in my affairs, which is why I rejected Wang Fen’s suggestion," Guan Yan stated.

The Star House did not refer to a single building, but rather the entertainment venue established by Hoshino Junka. In reality, the space behind the café was a combination of two buildings.

The soldiers, moved by Liu Bei’s benevolence, supported him even more fervently, shouting for him to turn back and counterattack Xu Rong’s army.

There was no need for the Flame God-Demon to intervene personally; Mo Jiutian and his companions were more than enough to subjugate the mountain peaks one by one.

Shaking his head, Jiu Ge did not dwell on the matter further. Let nature take its course; Chiyang would eventually submit to him.

One must know that within the Holy See, Arthur was being groomed as the future successor to the Knight’s Temple, whereas Liu Zhan was merely a loser from Huaxia. What ability could he possibly have to contend with Arthur?

Reflecting on it, the two of them had truly faced a series of twists and turns coming here. The various incidents had made them afraid to return, but since the storm had passed so long ago, they figured it should be fine—or so they hoped.

However, if one were truly at the Void-Flying Realm, the speed of a flying sword would be a weakness; if detected, it would be impossible to land a strike.

The Presidential Palace is a symbol of authority in any nation. Now that even that place had fallen, the soldiers on the front lines lost all will to resist. Instigated by the Batolian soldiers, they either surrendered or collapsed in disarray.

Although the Black Tiger Sect was located in the impoverished town of Zhennan, it was built with exceptional grandeur. The golden-lacquered plaque with the characters "Black Tiger Sect" shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

Happily eating the skewers while watching the pretty profile of his senior, he felt the grilled food tasted even better.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! This matter is too sudden; you must give the Crown Prince some time to consider it, surely?" his personal chief eunuch said, stepping forward to soothe the enraged ruler of the Dongling Kingdom.

The reason the two remained still was that they were evenly matched. With equal strength, whoever struck first would inevitably expose their own weaknesses. Once a fight began, it would surely involve life and death, as well as the rise and fall of their respective families. Both were heads of noble houses, so such things went without saying.

"Not necessarily powerful, but he is an ambitious fellow!" Gelu said with a dark face. Neither brother seemed to have any affection for Duoliena’s father, Duolie.

The next morning, Tao Hua woke up early out of habit. However, Prince Hao had specifically instructed her that she didn't need to prepare a bento today, so she had plenty of time left to sleep. Tao Hua rolled over and drifted back into a deep slumber.
