“Xiran, I’ll sleep with you tonight!” Shuni suddenly sat down beside me, clutching a pillow as she crawled beneath the covers.
Zhao Hui gazed out across the sea. Through the hazy drizzle, a large white liner was making its way toward the pier, the words “Great Wall-I” painted across its bow.
All along the way, no matter how Zhu Yong threatened and intimidated them, the cabbage stalks, rotten eggs, and dirty water never stopped flying. Because Zhu Yong kept shielding her, both of them ended up filthy from head to toe.
The next morning, the sky was overcast, and Zhao Hui was in a poor mood as well. When she arrived at school and stepped onto the balcony, she saw Li Zhengguo entering the grounds.
The past could only remain a memory. What had passed could never return to the present. Being unable to free oneself from memories of the past had never been her intention.
“Mm.” I answered quickly, then hid my scalded left hand behind my back and clenched both hands tightly. I glanced toward the other side and said, “I’m leaving first.”
With that, I walked around his shoulder, leaving him standing alone in place, his expression complicated.
Nayan Hua said with a smile, “Then wait until next year, when the baby is born, and take the baby with you!”
Everyone laughed.
“From now on, you are not to speak with any other man besides me. Do you understand?”
The Demon King combed my hair and tied it up for me, his movements meticulous and gentle. His usual domineering air had vanished completely.
I gripped Miya’s hand, so moved that I nearly burst into tears several times, only to force them back each time.
Inside the gardens of Qin stood a bronze chariot drawn by horses, more than ten meters long. On the stone base beneath it were carved several large words: “The Greatest Emperor of All Time.” It depicted the spectacular eastern tour Qin Shi Huang undertook after unifying China.
If he could begin again, he would never be greedy. He would certainly hold on to himself and resist temptation.
Lin Tian sneered and rose to his full height. Just as the earth dragon was about to disappear underground, he seized its tail. Two blade vortices within his body began spinning faster, and with a sudden burst of strength, he dragged the earth dragon bodily from the ground. Then he sprang forward, drew the Blackwater Heavy Saber from behind him in reverse grip, and brought it down. The earth dragon’s head fell to the ground.
An Le gave a cold snort and infused the crystal pillar with spiritual power. Its color kept changing as the level rose, finally stopping at level four. The color was white, signifying the initial stage.
Faced with everyone’s nods of approval, Lie Zhenqing was left speechless. Inwardly, he began calculating the life-and-death struggle that would soon take place between them and the four great sects.

Yinling listened to the exquisite music, feeling utterly at ease and refreshed. She gradually slowed down and circled above the mountain peak, savoring a clarity and serenity she had never experienced before. It was as though nature itself were playing a melody, so enchanting that it stirred longing in the heart.
Liu Ling, standing shoulder to shoulder with Ziyun, firmly engraved the appearances and auras of these strongest individuals in his memory. Then he calmly glanced at his watch and quietly awaited the beginning of the newcomers’ grand tournament.
The surrounding land had already been scorched by Huang Xiyue. Lin Yingtiao scratched his head, feeling more than a little embarrassed. He glanced at the ground ahead, but before he could speak, Ye Sui said—
Oh, another memory from childhood. Recalling Li Xiaoyao’s carefree sword flight, Li Si felt intensely envious. If only he could fly on a sword—wouldn’t charming girls then be effortless?
After the old man finished speaking, the other members of the Lin family standing outside the courtyard also looked at Lin Feng with concern. They all thought something serious had happened.
“You there, tell me—why haven’t you packed your things?” Principal Jiang demanded sternly, glaring at a student beside him.
At the thought that the old bastard had truly abandoned everything and would never return, Di Mochen was so furious he felt like crying.
Some people banded together in the name of patriotism, attempting to stop her plan to sell the Wei family’s corporation to foreigners.
In the imperial court, everyone had waited for more than half an hour, yet the Crown Prince had still not arrived. They could not help whispering among themselves.
“I never imagined they would be so bold as to impersonate others—even daring to come to the Federation Academy.”
How could Lü Xingshi have imagined that the other side would truly dare to do such a thing?
The instant Qi Hao saw the Black Armored Guards, he subconsciously recalled the humiliating scene of Qi Jin breaking into the residence that night. His expression darkened as well.
“You truly are my finest minister, Bigel. What reward would you like?”
The corners of Alex’s lips lifted. His refined and noble appearance left the beauties below staring in a daze.
The letter was filled with earnest words and warm affection. It made no mention of the dangerous predicament outside, nor of the tense struggle between them. It contained only the gentle, worried words of an elder sister concerned for her younger sister.
Applying to the Third Organization was even more impossible. What the Eighth Route Army lacked most at present was cadres, especially military cadres.

After removing his outer robe, the fitted garment beneath accentuated his straight, sturdy figure and gave him the clear, aloof bearing of a young man.
The Empress was devout in her worship of Buddha and did not wish to neglect her studies. She had no choice but to take Xu Zhihuai out of the palace with her to offer prayers and chant sutras.
On the Celestial Court, a heavenly soldier sat atop his own brazier, eating the boxed meal he had just received. He complained somewhat, his voice thick with envy.
High atop the Immortal Mountain stood a courtyard. It was not large, containing only a sitting room and a side chamber, but it was fully furnished in an antique style—the very atmosphere Bai Fengjiu liked.
“…” Jian Mo’s lips twitched uncontrollably. She forced herself to pull out a smile, while inwardly cursing Gu Beichen from head to toe.
“What’s the use of going in? We don’t even know where the person is. Are we supposed to run around blindly like headless flies?” Bai Dingshan said.
Jin Cong returned to the Fengnan City branch, which was the estate behind the Auspicious Phoenix Inn, filled with suspicion.
With the establishment of the Mineral Resources Administration, the people of the three worlds would inevitably have to communicate. He and the Jade Emperor of the Lotus Lantern world still had many days ahead of them.
If he waited until the Nine-Yang True Qi reached the perfected innate realm before choosing a martial arts manual to strengthen himself, that would be the most suitable course of action.
Under such urgent circumstances, withdrawing the army across the Yellow River was clearly dangerous. Cao Cao’s forces arrived at a furious pace. Yuan Shao was anxious after suffering defeat, while his strategists each insisted on their own opinions. In anger, he ordered the troops to remain where they were.
Those people had guessed correctly. The Emperor had not only come—he had arrived very early, almost immediately after leaving the court.
“I feel an urge to beat you senseless. Seven Kills, what do you think?”
Ouyang Jue glanced back at Seven Kills, who was just about to walk toward me, and then asked him.
