Mahas saw another wave of cavalry charging toward them. With a loud cry, he fell from his horse. His attendants hurried to lift him up and shield him, then rode off at a slant, abandoning the soldiers.
Chen Tian struck with astonishing speed. These people were far too full of themselves, and he found them irritating to watch. Aside from a few martial skills and methods he was keeping in reserve as trump cards, he had nothing useful left. The Mystical Sword Technique and the Chen family's other techniques were of little use; they could barely deal any damage.
Li Hongji's expression darkened further. Gritting his teeth, he said, "In all my life, I have never seen anyone as reckless and eager to die as you! What is your relationship with Miss Ruyan?"
"Actually, before the competition, I learned that you were the disciple the Immortal Lord had already chosen, and that he had repeatedly sent people to protect you in secret. Only the Immortal Lord himself knows why he chose you. If you get the chance, you can ask him in person." As Chiguang spoke, he gazed at He Lang with a kindly expression.
After hearing Yu Qiang out, then looking at the half-mad Zuo Fei before me, I really did feel a little sorry for him. Whatever the case, his becoming like this had, one way or another, a little to do with me.
General Yu had carefully weighed and considered his choice of attack direction beforehand.
"Understood! Order the troops to break through in two groups, in the four o'clock and eight o'clock directions!" Jiang Wuming reacted swiftly. He looked calm on the outside, but inside he was extremely anxious.
"You wouldn't know. This is a shortcut. I got here before Uncle Miao Jian and the others." She proudly lifted her chin, not forgetting to rake her fingers through her messy hair.
"What plans do you have? Tell me." Wei Banqu's tone made it clear that she was very anxious.
Acting on instinct, Chu Yao let out a terrified scream, then shoved Shi Dong away and bolted from the room as if she had gone mad.
Just then, Doudou suddenly babbled and grabbed "Spring" Grass's face, turning it to one side. "Spring" Grass didn't understand what Doudou wanted. But when she looked in the direction Doudou was pointing, she understood: Doudou had taken a fancy to the exquisite, adorable doll on the stall.
The judge was startled by his own thoughts. He hurriedly recited the Heart-Calming Technique to settle his mind.
He asked nothing, simply beginning to examine the middle-aged man on the bed and take his pulse as King Wei instructed.
Their words made Hua Mian blush. She was too embarrassed to argue, so she pretended she hadn't heard anything and focused on nursing the baby.
Before Chu Lian could finish speaking, she felt He Changdi pinch her pointed chin. His deep eyes narrowed slightly as they roamed over her face and body, as if an emperor were surveying his domain.
Once the mission was complete, the Imperial Guards had to leave the great hall at once. As she departed, Jiegeng glanced worriedly at Muyu.
Duanmu Rui was worried about Tong Niuer's safety and wanted to leave the inn. Tong Niuer thought the place was remote, and that even if the authorities came to investigate, they wouldn't question them too closely. It was safer than elsewhere, so he refused to go. Duanmu Rui naturally couldn't change his mind, and reluctantly stayed in the room with him.
Liu Hanyan had taken the clothes Wang Hou had changed out of to the courtyard and was washing them in the pond. When she saw the hem of his long robe was torn, and realized she had no needle and thread with her, she went to the counter to ask for some and clumsily began to mend it.
The meal ended with both host and guests thoroughly pleased, and the dishes were cleared away. Meng Qi and Yang Dayan sat in the two seats of honor, slowly savoring their tea.
She adjusted her headphones and turned up the background music until she could no longer hear anything outside. Satisfied, she smiled and returned to the game to continue grinding monsters and earning experience.
The vastness of the Divine Realm was immeasurable. No one—not even a lower god—could explore even one ten-thousandth of it in a million years.
Furious, Ge Silan freed one hand, grabbed his ear, and twisted hard. "Get out..." Never in her wildest dreams had she thought Yu Shoulian would be so bold, so uninhibited! While her attention was elsewhere, he had mischievously undone his trousers and released his troublemaker, then thrust straight into the inexplicably overflowing wetness between her legs.
King Yin told the ghosts to look for Xiangling as they went out, and find out where she had gone.
In her dream, Chu Yun was frolicking with her parents when the scene suddenly changed. It was now a bitterly cold winter, and her father had taken her skating on the Artificial Lake near their old home. Without warning, a crack a meter wide split across the ice, and she plunged straight into it.
Dong Jiajia glanced at Liu Cheng, her eyes telling him, "You've been divorced once too. You'd better figure it out for yourself in a bit. Don't even think about hiding it—truth will out."
"Then I'll be going. I won't be back at the hospital today. If anyone comes in for a consultation, transfer the patient to my Senior Brother." Chu Tianyi took the medicine box, stood up, and pushed the stroller out of the office.
"How spectacular!" Lu Yu exclaimed. It was only a citywide Genius Tournament, yet it had reached such a scale.
Jiang Jinyan parked the car, opened the door, and helped Chu Yun out. He noticed Aunt Chen hurrying over to help carry things. There was a gash on her forehead; it had been disinfected and treated with medicine, but not bandaged, and the scraped-open wound looked rather frightening.
As he thought about it and kept eating, before long he had polished off most of the plate of fried rice cakes everyone else had left behind. Afterward, Shao Qian felt guilty all over again. How could he eat food made by his big brother's romantic rival?
Jing Yi scooped up another spoonful of yogurt and was just about to put it in her mouth when someone suddenly grabbed her arm. The spoonful of yogurt went into Liu Cheng's mouth.
