As Lin Juan looked over the news, another burst of cheers and commotion erupted in the cinema. The screen was showing Riven and Darius fighting, and a loud shout rang clearly in Lin Juan's ears.

And how have you repaid me? The moment you felt the slightest dissatisfaction with the court, you pounded on my palace gates and forced your way in. Worse still, treacherous rebels incited the Jing Camp to rise up.

"There's Crimson Blood Bodhi in Fallen God Valley! Hahaha... No wonder that Old Man Xuan risked everything to do this. Now it all makes sense." Huangfeng Valley suddenly burst into wild, unhinged laughter.

Just then, Jia Chunyan saw that users had already checked in and entered. She hurriedly said something to Wang Chenyu, then rushed to the check-in desk outside the venue to greet them. That was where a Tianxiang Company salesperson like her belonged.

The romantic elements also began to take center stage, softening the tragedy, though the somber undertone was unavoidable.

If a helicopter were filming from above, it would have captured a breathtaking sight: three thousand Ming Army cavalry surging forth like red lava erupting from a volcano, sweeping everything away and laying waste to all in their path.

"You know my habits inside and out. Add in the fruit ability's power to mimic my build and aura, and you only need to manage what you did two years ago!" Longinus said with a smile.

After obtaining Amazon's cell tissue, Long cut the piece of skin into sections and placed them in ten separate Petri dishes.

Han Dongmei was about to explain, but sharp-eyed Cai Xinqi saw right through her plan: she meant to make Luo Yao take the blame for her. Cai Xinqi felt exhausted. They were all in the same dorm, so how could there be so much trouble?

Besides, for an Imperial Estate this vast, supporting a mere hundred thousand tenant farmers was far too little. In Zhu Youjian's eyes, the estate could also ease the population pressure in the northwest.

Even after being married to Li Dabao for so long, Qin Huairu had never seen her man get bested.

At the weekly safety meeting, the safety officer reminded everyone repeatedly of all kinds of safety precautions.

Mo Yu wore a long face. His talent-copying slots were already full, so he couldn't copy any more. The only way was to upgrade the system to level two, but he didn't have enough experience points.

He was a good doctor of Chinese medicine, but not a good teacher. He couldn't hold his students' attention or kindle their curiosity.

Li Daqing's mother and Hamo had prepared a whole table of dishes. Qi Feiyang and Hamo took turns toasting Li Daqing. He'd received a progress payment for the project that day and was in high spirits, refusing no drink. Before long, he was dead drunk.

She dug out her phone, whose battery was nearly dead, and brushed the stray hair from her forehead that had fallen across her eyes. Then she saw a new message.

Those old aunties had imaginations that ran wild and tongues that never stopped wagging. Li Dabao was afraid that if he stayed any longer, they'd make up some unbelievable story about him.

Luo Guoqing had started out in the fertilizer industry. He'd worked his way up from an ordinary laborer at the fertilizer plant, serving as a workshop technician, workshop director, and deputy director before finally becoming plant manager. After the company was restructured, he took the post of general manager.

By blocking the entrance and killing every zombie that charged in, he kept them at bay. The strongest were only level two; against level-three Mo Yu, they couldn't fight back at all.

"By the way, are those two the helpers Brother Chen mentioned?" An Wudie brought the conversation back around.

Zhou You had thought the test would be simple, but the smell of chicken legs left his mind wandering.

Yi Han and Qian Jun had also noticed what was happening in the distance. The frowns on their faces and the grimness in their expressions made that clear.

The story had even been embellished into something almost magical. People thought it was a reliable way to tell whether someone would be lucky in life.

The ferryman must have misunderstood, thinking Qin Fanqing had remembered what happened when her soul was trapped. So he hurriedly came clean.

At his desk, Yue Lin thought about Yanyu's experience, unable to calm himself. He let out a long breath, steadying his low spirits before turning to the clinic's official opening. After all, the trial period had been so stop-and-start that things still hadn't settled into a proper routine.

The pale, ghastly fingers were still twitching, struggling with all their might to catch Lin Aqi's attention.

"Otherwise, I'd advise you to let us go. Don't bring trouble down on yourself." But when Wang Lirong heard that, she looked as if she'd just heard the funniest joke in the world.

The Prince's residence didn't have many servants. At that moment, they were gathered in small groups, discussing the new guard and wondering who he was, since he'd somehow made the Prince relax the rules again and again.

Yue Ning had gone out on an errand and happened to meet the child. The child came up and called out, "Are you Yue Ning?" Seeing how bold and unafraid of strangers the child was, Yue Ning crouched down and replied, "I am. How do you know me?" The child's features seemed somehow familiar, so Yue Ning spoke gently.

Sheng Tianhou got out of the car and took the elevator to the entrance of Terracotta Warriors Entertainment, where Qin Han had come to greet him in person.

Star Array Masters charged before doing the work; Tang Chen knew that was the rule. But he couldn't bring himself to take money from Xuanyuan Yin. After all, he'd already taken Dragon Palace, and Xuanyuan Yin was destined to come away empty-handed.

Liu Bian couldn't help feeling stunned. A farce capable of throwing the capital region into chaos had ended so calmly. It was almost absurd.

"What's so annoying about me? Go on, tell me. I rushed back as soon as I finished my official business just to spend more time with you. What are you even angry about?" Shen Yi said, aggrieved.

Chen Xuebao's family went pale in an instant. The two elders and Chen Xuebao all rushed forward and bowed to apologize.

"Your ability awakened too?" Luo Ze swallowed. "Then that really does change things."

Besides that, they also had a powerful desire to see Senior Hanguang again. They wanted to report their accomplishments to him in person and hear his approval with their own ears, the way students longed for their teacher's praise.

"Come on, I'll show you around the courtyard. It may not compare to the General's Mansion, but it's still quite beautiful," I said.

It didn't look like much, but it was indeed strange, containing an extraordinarily unique power.

A familiar voice sounded beside her ear. At last, Ming Ruyu's eyes reacted. The corner of her mouth curled into a cold smile, but she didn't turn her gaze toward the prophet.

Sure enough, Jie Ya strolled over, casual as ever, with that roguish, bloodthirsty, sinister smile still on his face. Seeing that she was badly wounded, he showed not the slightest surprise. His pupils simply darkened, growing deeper and deeper until they were bottomless.

An Jin clutched the quilt tightly in both hands and furrowed her brows. Thinking of what the doctor had just said, she couldn't shake the shock that had settled over her.
