In this situation, many women would run away after marriage, but this person didn't.
When she saw her husband in court, the two held hands. The man, still in shackles, looked red with envy, and the woman cried as well. She comforted him, saying not to be afraid, that she and her mother-in-law would find a way to pay back the debt, and that everything would be alright once he got out.
My nose tingled, and I almost burst into tears.
This is the perfect marriage I've always imagined; I'm so envious.
After the court hearing began, the woman wanted to spend some time with her husband because prison visitation time and frequency are very limited. The judge and I agreed, as did the prison guards inside. However, a few minutes later, the prison guard outside, who was in his forties, shouted and told us to bring the woman out.
Yes, he was indeed following the rules.
On the way back, I told the judge more than once that the woman was a good woman, and that such women are rare these days...
There may never be another leader as kind as my judge.
I really don't know what the future holds.
Sometimes I think it would be better to be dead; if I were dead, I would have no more worries.
Studying, middle school entrance exams, college entrance exams, postgraduate entrance exams, civil service exams, government job applications...
I feel sorry for young people these days.
I've come this far, and all that's left is a whispered lament in the night.
Silly Xiao Ye, try to be a kind person.
Keep the pain to yourself and show your family the good side.
It's better for one person to suffer than for one's parents to suffer with them.
I originally planned to give my mother both months' salary at once, but unfortunately the personnel department hasn't finished processing it yet, so the office can only postpone the salary payment.
Inside the government building, this is the only place that brings me contentment.
As a farmer's son, I went to court and then to the government; I guess I've fulfilled my parents' wishes.
Although... they didn't give me anything, I still want to continue being a good son.
It's not that they don't want to give me certain things, it's that they lack the ability to give them to me or support me.
Their love for me was pure.
I've always understood that.
The soliloquy of a fool in a small southern town.
October 20, 2023, 10:25 PM, Friday.
I have to work overtime this Sunday and won't be able to go home.
I've already scheduled to work overtime next weekend!
Live on, even if the world isn't a good place, even if you have to bear the burden of a housing price of 7,000 (in neighboring counties it's 4,000-5,000, or even 3,000), even if your family makes all sorts of demands.
I remember everyone who has been kind to me since I was a child, because there are so few of them. This includes Xiao Kong, Xiao Cheng, and Ba Ge in the group chat, and that silly guy whose family owns a supermarket (although you never helped me, your kindness was palpable)...
Good night, 5600 updates today.
I don't know when it will end.
Chapter 735 The Bronze Palace Soars Through the Sky, Lifetime Life and Five Lifetimes
A shocking change occurred in the Southern Region. The sound of iron chains echoed through the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, reaching far and wide. Ripples containing the Flying Immortal Light spread rapidly from the Eastern Wasteland to most of the universe, stretching to the horizon. All living beings in the entire Big Dipper bowed down in worship.
"Wild... she has been born!"
"Once revered as the Heavenly Emperor, she shattered imperial artifacts, destroyed the Yuhua Immortal Court, slayed the Imperial Dao Fire Spirit, and annihilated the Saint Spirit Forbidden Zone with a single sword strike. She was perhaps the most terrifying being in the Forbidden Zone."
When a Quasi-Emperor recalled ancient history, he was filled with dread. The Lord of Desolation had too much blood on him, which even the long years of the past could not wash away.
However, something even more terrifying was yet to come. A dazzling celestial light illuminated the boundless starry sky, shaking the ages. Powerful beings from all corners of the universe trembled in fear, and even the quasi -Quasi-Emperor level Immortal Spirit of Kun Court paled in surprise, realizing that the most intense confrontation was about to erupt...
"Stop, or you'll die."
The life force on the deity of the Demon Jar grew stronger and stronger, and she had already taken on the full appearance of a living being, but an anxious expression appeared on her peerless fairy face.
Essentially, she was a fragmented Lifetime. Although she had broken free from the constraints, the relationship was still heavily biased towards the primary and secondary bodies, hence her instinctive fear of the one in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
Su Yu's eyes were empty and calm as he continued to maintain the finger shadows.
Without a sound, two god-like figures appeared beside him, each wielding a powerful weapon, blocking the only way for Big Dipper to reach this place.
"Clang!"
With the sound of the Immortal Gold shattering one after another, the light of time vanished. Deep within the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, a tall and exquisitely beautiful figure, surrounded by Chaos light, took a step forward, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to cave in. She crossed the River of Time and rushed towards the Cosmic Frontier.
Thump!
As the bell tolls, the Clock of Time unleashes its great light, projecting a River of Time that stretches across the universe, emitting a rushing sound. Various symbols bloom, chanting the most powerful scriptures of all time.
"Senior, please wait." Shi Ming appeared, with the Beginningless Bell above his head and a radiant Golden Immortal scroll in his hand, which was none other than the Investiture of the Gods of the Gods that had once suppressed the Undying Daoist.
Without any communication, an imperial war broke out. The white-clad woman destroyed the Sun-Moon, and stars with her attack; it was the Flying Immortal Power, a fierce battle that shattered the heavens.
A slender hand tore apart the chains of the extreme path, blasting them against the Clock of Time. The shock caused Shi Ming's blood to surge, almost knocking him back. With a clang, it then clashed head-on with the Radiant Gods Investiture of the Gods, which was radiating immortal light, unleashing a burst of golden brilliance.
What kind of being is she? Neither of the two Heavenly Emperor Artifacts crafted by the Great Emperor Wushi could stop her even a step.
At this moment, she was like True Immortal immortal descending to earth, unparalleled in the world. Accompanied by the mournful cries of heaven and earth, she slammed her palm into the Time Bell again. The terrifying bell waves spread in all directions, actually leaving a handprint on it, and the killing principle remained for a long time. Shi Ming behind her even had to take nine steps back to dissipate the terrifying power transmitted through the Beginningless Bell.
They were no match for him; this was the peak power of Great Emperor at his zenith. Shi Ming alone would have a hard time even blocking the way.
I apologize!
A magnificent crimson Immortal Phoenix wing descended, illuminating the Void and the Earth Star with a crimson glow. The light of primordial annihilation swept across the six directions and eight wastelands, cleaving through the universe, and rushed towards the woman in white.
The True Phoenix Clone attacked, its head adorned with Xian Dao, its divine power vast as the sea. Though it claimed to be apologizing, it showed no mercy in its attacks, each strike aimed at the woman's forehead. This was a life-or-death battle; if the weaker party did not go all out, death would be the only outcome.
In an instant, the light of Yuhua and the Flying Immortal Power surged forth, and the black Divine Radiance was as deep as the ocean. The three were fighting, their divine might overwhelming the world. The laws of Xian Dao and the light of the ultimate path surged in this universe, distorting all fields. This kind of fluctuation was simply about to sweep across the River of Time, an unparalleled terror.
The world was shocked, all living beings were terrified, and even the forbidden zones were watching intently, their divine eyes fixed on the battle. Could this Alternative Dao Attainment, wielding a celestial artifact, stop that woman?
Suddenly, a few breaths later, beams of Lord of Desolation Lord's forehead. Her Immortal Platform seemed to be lit by a celestial lamp, illuminating countless ancient mountains and rivers. At this moment, the universe itself trembled as if it could not withstand such pressure.
Words cannot describe this scene. It was as if a celestial being had descended from the dark universe, spreading outwards from there to the entire universe. Neither Shi Ming nor the True Phoenix Clone could stop it.
This is a blood-related summoning incantation, its range sufficient to cover the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
At this very moment, the Xiao Nannan from the Heavenly Pivot Palace was glowing all over, about to be summoned there.
Not only her, but also in the Kunlun Great Luo Northern Heaven Chaos Dragon Nest, one vermilion ancient coffin after another was rising, and the bloodied and mangled imperial bodies were burning with flames, Ruyu, trying to rush out.
The dragon Dragon Clan's Great Saint guarding the side were terrified, and even the clan leader was horrified, almost kneeling down, unable to withstand such pressure. A Quasi-Emperor of the Second Heaven was no different from an ant before the supreme majesty.
Just as the Myriad Dragon Nest clan felt impending doom, a palm descended, emitting Immortal Gold, forcefully suppressing the agitation of the Emperor's Coffin.
At the critical moment, the Lord of the Deep arrived.
She let out a soft shout, and a brilliant light rose behind her. Ultimate Dao Laws, like Huang feathers, surged out, unleashing the most terrifying field, confronting the ancient coffins from afar.
As an extremely profound magic seal was unleashed, imperial artifacts emerged from the Chaos mist. The Hengyu Furnace, the Void Mirror, the Taihuang Sword, and the Jiuli Diagram were revived to a terrifying degree, landing above the vermilion coffin to suppress the anomalies caused by the imperial corpse.
After suppressing this place, the Saint Spirit's avatar swept across, Source Cauldron of All Things fell, intercepting the Xiao Nannan who was crossing the starry sky.
Then she landed in the Chaos, her body flowing with immortal light, and azure clouds like a waterfall. With a strike from afar, she exchanged a palm strike with the Empress.
"Boom!"
The Flying Immortal Power tore through the vast sky, shattering the galaxy with this strike. The woman in white remained unmoved, Lord of the Deep was forced back, but his fingers and palms were unharmed, radiating a luster even more dazzling than a sapphire.
Neither Shi Ming nor True Phoenix worried about her.
After Feathered Green Gold awakened her profound abilities, no one except True Immortal could harm her.
After the attack, the woman was briefly dazed, as if she had lost her soul, before returning to her indifferent state.
Clearly, her condition is unusual; she's not at her peak.
The three stood side by side, looking at the formidable enemy ahead. They felt that the enemy was merely an inanimate object, its primordial spirit appearing and disappearing intermittently.
"Our company, Time, is the master of time. Protected by the Beginningless Bell and the Investiture of the Gods, you cannot break through these two ancient artifacts." Shi Ming walked forward, his eyes deep and vast, filled with images of the destruction of the sun and moon, the falling of stars, and the collapse of heaven and earth. His body was covered with Bronze Flowers of Time.
In his hand, a crystal-clear river flowed, echoing the illusory River of Time beneath his feet. Purple smoke drifted about, trying to freeze the woman for a moment, but he failed every time he tried.
"Fix the vessel, fix the person, fix the time; Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Time Stops with a Thought!" Shi Ming chanted a magic incantation, beginning to use his forbidden chapter for the first time. Strange phenomena appeared behind him, like an immortal venerable traversing the River of Time.
In an instant, the shimmering water in his hand shot into the sky, and strings of stars fell down, all disappearing into the Immortal-Fixing Stream. Then, terrifying black threads shot out from the water, piercing through the void and crossing the shattered field, trying to stabilize this dark universe.
"You control time, but what if I shatter this river?" The woman in white suddenly spoke, her voice cold yet magnetic; if not heartless, it would be like heavenly music, extremely beautiful.
She looked at the three of them, but no one dared to meet her gaze. Su Yu felt guilty; she had schemed too much this time—the Emperor's Coffin in the Dragon Nest, and the Xiao Nannan.
That person had actually done him a great favor.
By now, he had long understood that without the woman's permission, he would never have obtained the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid; the killing array in that forbidden area was enough to annihilate the Great Saint.
Duan De was the reincarnation of the Netherworld Venerable, and had a backup plan to withstand the attack, while he had the tacit approval of that person...
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. A shimmering white hand slammed down, and countless divine chains appeared before them. Each chain stirred the heavens and transformed into brilliant Flying Immortal Power, covering the three of them. Those Dao lines that were enough to immobilize Supreme were directly obliterated, unable to withstand such an attack.
This was the first time the Heaven Fixing Technique had been broken in this way, which left Shi Ming astonished.
A beam of celestial light shot out from the Big Dipper, revealing an ancient and simple Immortal Palace in mid-air, covered in Green Copper and bearing an indescribable sense of age. This sudden change made everyone's heart tighten.
"A battle between immortal artifacts..." At the summit of Kunlun, Gai Jiuyou his head, deeply moved. This scene, if traced back to the past, might have to be traced back to the Immortal Cauldron and Immortal Bell of the Mythological Era.
"Master, will Yu Lang be in danger?" Xia Jiuyou, the black-haired woman beside her, stared intently at the Divine Space Mirror with a glint in her eyes, looking very nervous.
Gai Jiuyou understood his disciple's meaning perfectly well, and sighed helplessly.
"I'm just an old and frail Quasi-Emperor, how could I be qualified to participate in such a great battle? My Dao injuries from last time are still fresh, and I didn't have any immortal artifacts to go in. You'll soon be picking up my bones."
Gai Jiuyou shrugged, looking completely indifferent, which made his disciple grit his teeth in anger...
With the addition of the Bronze Immortal Palace, the Lord of Desolation revealed his true strength for the first time.
She was dressed in white, her hair flowing freely, her beauty ethereal and otherworldly. Her jade feet trod upon the bronze palace, and the Chaos light emanating from her body illuminated the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven, causing the entire universe to tremble. She single-handedly fought against three celestial beings wielding immortal artifacts, forcing them to retreat in defeat.
This is still without her reclaiming the Dao Fruit from her other incarnations, which is already considered heaven-defying. The three supreme experts couldn't even touch her and were instead pushed back.
"Smack!"
The dark golden Divine Radiance spread across the universe, Heaven-reaching Nether Treasure was directly sent flying. The True Phoenix Clone tried to block with his sword, but a beam of immortal Xian Dao flew from the front and pierced through the sword with a "poof". While shattering the Supreme Artifact, it also shot out a dazzling blood glow from the blade. The destructive power invaded and almost caused him to disintegrate instantly.
