After finishing, Zhang Hongyi began to tremble—he realized that the more he spoke, the darker Xie Zongwei’s expression became, the chilling coldness piercing his heart like a tangible blade. Especially since Yun Li and Ouyang Haochen were no pushovers themselves. In those years, Huangfu Jing had endured much unfair treatment at the Ouyang household, until Huangfu Zheng took him away, teaching him how to navigate the world and revealing its darker truths.

Da Bao’s sturdy training uniform formed a stark contrast with the basket he carried. That basket of red-skinned eggs made Da Bao’s sun-darkened face look almost cartoonish.

A sword’s gleam circled once in the air, then descended to the ground, revealing the figure of an elderly man in Taoist robes. The swordlight then vanished without a trace.

“I never expected humans of this generation to be so bold as to strike first.” Frieza, a villainous leader, was undoubtedly the demon king of the Demon Continent.

Zhang Da was rejected; Su Yang planned to try again at universities in the provincial capital, such as the Institute of Technology and the University of Finance.

“All right, Reina, Liu Tian didn’t mean it. Stop making a scene…” Rose hurriedly intervened upon seeing Reina’s fierce intent to attack Liu Tian.

Su Yuqi felt as if a hooked dagger had pierced his chest; pulling it out brought blood and flesh, each drop telling the story of his fruitless feelings over the years.

But when Su Yang came to sign the handover today, aside from the warm welcomes from Fan Minfeng, Hu Liangyuan, Kong Yewei, and Jiang Guangping, others showed a rather cold attitude.

It was amusing in its way. The two were otherwise highly in sync—one glance could roughly convey their thoughts. Yet when it came to emotions, everything changed.

Pan Mingzhu entered and couldn’t help but admire Tong Che’s striking appearance, silently praising, “Such handsome men are truly rare.”

In recent days, some information was gathered online. University B excelled in scientific research, ranking among the nation’s top universities. It boasted numerous renowned professors and outstanding research achievements.

Having grown tired of Yu You’s antics, Hu Li began to feign understanding. “Chongming, weren’t we a bit too conspicuous just now?”

“Wait until we return to the capital. Once back, find an opportunity to meet him and clarify the matter of the jade pendant.”

Though smiling, the fire in his eyes burned ever fiercer, almost materializing into a terrifying rage.

“This fellow’s power!” Luo Tianhuan clearly felt Lang Mie’s strength surge dramatically, making even himself somewhat unable to resist.

With four or five “sparkling flowers” in each hand, Ni Dahai lit the fuse with a lighter. A sharp “hiss” sounded as the fireworks erupted.

Duan Weiqi locked himself in the park office, refusing disturbance, before opening the gift Li Jiayu had given him.

“System, is it possible for my future self to physically travel through time?” Wu Yue wondered silently.

Both were startled, their consciousnesses sweeping toward the noise, discovering two auras fiercely clashing about thirty miles away.

Stone turned coldly, confidently speaking. At the same time, his blade flicked upward, piercing the old man’s collar. One more inch and his life would be forfeit.

Outside the door, contemplating where to go next, Huai Ren encountered Ling Xian, who had been waiting patiently.

A sudden surge of fierce anger flooded my mind—Wild Wolf mercenaries! The hatred in my heart for Wild Wolf even surpassed that for Nail. Yet I knew this was no time for rashness. Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to calm down.

Words I’d almost spoken were swallowed back. Never mind, it’s not a fatal poison, just one that requires periodic antidotes.

That evening, he first went home. After dinner, he told Su Wanqing about his plan to travel to the Northern Di Kingdom.

All these worldviews were shared by Lisa with Huai Ren. Why would she tell a stranger such things? Of course, because she was utterly insistent!

Looking at his smile, I suddenly felt sick. Seeing that face, I longed to crush him instantly, but I restrained the thought—at least not now! Yet the killing intent was already set.

Huai Ren was relentless. This guy had challenged him three times, each time losing. How could he not learn to retreat when the odds were against him?

The disciples of the Sha Hun Sect halted, clutching their weapons tightly, eyes scanning tensely. Apart from their breathing, the air was utterly silent.

Not to mention Yang Lan’s fondness for Le Tian; even without it, anyone would feel resentment in such a situation.

Sun Ce commanded his army to march toward Shouchun for a decisive battle with Liu Feng at its gates. Meanwhile, Zhu Zhi’s son, Zhu Ran, was left to guard Lujiang and organize supplies, ensuring the sustenance of Sun Ce’s two hundred thousand troops.

Listening to the increasing roar of helicopters, two black dots grew clearer before us. A faint smile appeared on my face, though a certain phrase echoed in my mind.

Two imperial edicts: Appointing Liu Jue as Governor of Bingzhou and Military Governor of Youzhou and Bingzhou, effective immediately.

Angry within, my words to Lone Wolf were light, but the meaning was clear—I had no intention of helping him. The message was unmistakable: without benefits, I wouldn’t save him. Ha! Now you have no choice.

Yet this time, he failed—defeated by someone so young before his eyes. How could he not be shocked?

Though Zhu Yuanzhang dabbled in medicine, he was an amateur. Seeing such a pulse, the three fingers of his right hand resting on Ma Xiuying’s wrist trembled slightly. This made Chu Liuyan equally nervous, her heart uneasy. Had the pulse not been ominous, Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn’t have been so fearful.

Baiyin and Bizhu had keener senses than ordinary people and noticed early on, though they didn’t know what kind of blood it was. They had no choice but to summon two flower pythons.

A fingernail-sized head was as large as Bailizi Sang’s. The giant mountain beast’s eyes brimmed with disdain.

“Ye Qingruo, big brother lost. Will he be sad?” Fu Hongying’s face suddenly drained of color, her crystal-clear eyes filled deeply with sorrow.

Ye Chen watched Su Le trembling, showing no sympathy. Step by step, he closed in, cornering Su Le against the door, leaving no escape.
