31 Wanting to be closer to her

"Would you mind sitting down and listening to my story?" Ghost Blade gestured with a sincere invitation.

From the corner of his eye, Bing Shaofeng noticed Long Jianfei's disdain. Although he felt a twinge of fear, he figured that in this setting, it was just a game. He was just like his father—since you’ve arrived, you aren’t leaving.

Noticing Qi Xiuyuan’s gaze, Yu Silan instinctively looked away. This only drew more of his attention, though he dared not show too much, so he shifted his focus unobtrusively and continued playing with Qi Anyi.

At this moment, they were not the only ones hunting Ye Xiao; there was another person whom both Ye Xiao and Ye Guzhou had met—the high-ranking official. He was currently inside the Yamen of the Badren, venting his fury at the Vice Commander and Ye Guzhou.

A rope flew out from the artificial lake, tightly binding Mike’s legs and dragging him into the icy water.

"Mage Qian Nuo, Old Hei can still be saved," Wukong said, returning to Zhuoma, drenched and earnest.

Due to her physical condition, she did not need to rise early for court, so she had rescheduled the morning session to the tenth hour of the day.

He invited a special guest to the stage: Dr. Macy, Chief Scientist of Reed Biotechnology.

Yet, Zhu Di was well aware that building this railway to the grasslands was the most expensive project with the lowest returns. Aside from national defense benefits, the other gains were meager, or at least offered no visible economic benefit for the time being.

"Don't blame Master; I was the one who did wrong in the first place. Master was already being lenient. If the other disciples had made the same mistake, they probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for a week," Lu Chenxi hissed through gritted teeth, gasping in pain.

"My Lady, are you alright?" As soon as Huangfu Lei left, Xin Ru was the first to rush in. Seeing that Yu Zinuo was unharmed, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

Judging the spatial constraints, Yu Zinuo did not hesitate. She ducked under the table, relying on her slender frame to fit into the tight space. However, the crushing pressure made it difficult to breathe, and she could only hope the intruder would leave soon.

At the corner of the Qiankun Palace, a disoriented and terrified Yu Jianuo held a gleaming dagger to the throat of Noble Consort Hua. As she approached, a look of desperate, vicious resentment played on her lips, and her defiant sneer carried an eerie chill.

In an instant, those alchemists who had just mocked Lin Hao and challenged him felt a deep sense of shame, wishing they could simply vanish.

University management was lax, and Han Qiu wandered the campus like any ordinary student. Zhou Yuxin, dressed in student attire, walked by his side, arm in arm.

Never had Luo Xin seen someone so brainless. Unable to bear it any longer, she grabbed Yu Zinuo—who was busy chatting with a "beggar" in a fit of overabundant sympathy—and dragged her away.

Seeing the special forces and security personnel descend like gods from the heavens, Chen Jie suddenly realized that the phone call had betrayed her.

While in the State of Zhao, Mingyue had heard from the Queen Dowager of Zhao about the grandeur of the Qi royal palace. He had assumed that after the fall of Linzi, the palace must have been destroyed. To his surprise, upon entering the palace city, he discovered that the exquisite craftsmanship of the halls remained intact.

She was just twenty years old, in the prime of her youth. With her striking appearance and attire, those around her couldn't help but glance her way.

Sun Ye’s eyes lit up. It turned out Red Chili intended to use a counter-intuitive strategy, though it was highly dangerous.

Even when facing these vicious thugs, a smile played on his face. He signaled Long Zaiye to provide cover with a feint.

Although the four of them joined forces to block the attack, Zilu had no intention of letting them go. More and more vines rose into the air, looking like giant serpents.

"It’s just an ordinary prescription." Sun Ye saw the ingredients and knew immediately that even a common doctor would recognize them.

The boy looked naturally toward the former Archbishop, hoping he wouldn't do anything too humiliating.

Just as Zhou Xiao opened his mouth, thick, blood-red vines suddenly sprouted from beneath his armchair. They spiraled rapidly up his legs, binding his body and the chair tightly within two seconds.

While the Tyrannosaurus spoke, the Spinosaurus had already finished its feast. Beside the black sphere of light, all the herbivorous dinosaurs had been reduced to bones, not even a scrap of hide remaining.

With the company at stake, Zhou Xin couldn't worry about whether his sister-in-law would be upset; he figured he could just apologize and buy her a gift later, and she would surely forgive him.

After saying this, Ming Tong and the other four half-step grandmasters stepped forward, their sharp, imposing aura causing the expressions of the Yuan family to change drastically.

"Eh? Has the ancestor hired a new pastry chef? I’ve never seen these snacks before," Tang Yue said, looking in amazement at the lotus-shaped pastries on the white porcelain plate.

"It happened like this..." Bingxin recounted everything the Sword Soul had said when she drew the blade.

Feng Qingye pulled her into his arms, leaning down to kiss her repeatedly, then gently massaged her wrists with his large hands.

Even if they had the ability to escape, the Demon God’s true form had expended great effort to use a powerful technique specifically to prevent their flight. How could it let the enemy go? If word of that got out, what would become of the Demon God’s reputation?

The guards at the valley entrance waved their hands, causing a swarm of leopard puppets—all at the Spirit Sea Realm—to emerge from the ground.

"Feng Qingye, by what right do you control me?! My willingness to be with Feng Qingming is my own business!" Yun Qingxian bit her lip, struggling to hold back the tears welling in her eyes.

At that moment, the second-tier zombies had broken through the first-floor doors, the rich scent of blood driving them into a frenzy. The zombies at the front grabbed the corpses of Bai Haoyu and the gaunt middle-aged man, tearing into them ravenously.

And then there was the matter of Doudou; she felt she shouldn't keep dragging it out. Rubbing her temples in frustration, she wondered why she had ever been so foolish as to agree to give it a try.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Feng frowned. About ten seconds later, his hand left the corpse of his past life, and his memories were fully restored.

Gu Xiaoxiao hadn't expected her lack of cooperation to earn the soldiers' admiration. What kind of people were these?
