Volume 1, Chapter 22: Unaware of Cui Heng's Intentions

As the newlyweds walked away hand in hand, Du Yu was about to speak, but a stern glare from Lu Duan silenced him immediately. Lu Duan turned his gaze toward Jin Kui, only to find her expression unchanged, as if Wuding’s actions had not affected her mood in the slightest.

News of Zhao Yi’s return to the capital had spread throughout the court by last night. The officials were divided in their opinions; some believed Zhao Yi deserved execution, while others argued he should be rewarded.

Song Yazhu opened her mouth to speak, but ultimately held her tongue. She knew her father too well—he was a man with an overwhelming sense of responsibility, and nothing she said would make a difference.

"Hiss!" Everyone gasped at the sight, stunned by the terrifying nature of that silver needle.

An Kai found a relatively clean office and quickly pulled out some wood to reinforce the doors and windows.

Ren Yixuan was dressed quite casually. Unlike the other business professionals attending the press conference, he wore only a short-sleeved T-shirt, beige casual trousers, and sneakers.

As for why he had to go into hiding and undergo plastic surgery, Jiang Zhen kept that a mystery for now, offering no explanation.

By resorting to such tactics, Yin Shihua had effectively laid his cards on the table with Shan Mingxu.

His voice was a deep, gravelly bass that commanded authority, yet his tone was gentle and kind.

Master Yingxi "woke up" in an instant. He didn't even have time for a perfunctory, ethereal moment; he simply opened his eyes and shoved away Tie Niu, who had been supporting him in a daze.

Dumbledore and Snape at least cared about their reputations and would not resort to forced Legilimency—though the latter was debatable—but Lingo could always offer him lilies.

Although he sensed only a faint aura of the Soul Hall on Gular’s exterior, there was a different, similar yet distinct aura lurking within him.

Wang San trembled at the roar and hurriedly stammered his agreement, wondering to himself: Orange and white stripes? Cattle only have brown markings, but orange and white? What kind of animal has orange and white stripes?

Wei Liangxu did not look at him. Instead, he lowered his head, frowning deeply as he gazed at Wei Xiuxiu in his arms and the silver mirror she clutched.

Xiao Jing patted Nalan Yanran’s fair, delicate back while contemplating the predicament of the Yunlan Sect.

Mrs. Norris, her fur now bright and lustrous, leaped into Lingo’s arms, meowing affectionately.

"If you enter it and fall into a deep sleep, the crystal coffin will seal away your entire aura. You will not need to consume spiritual power or require spiritual energy. After ten thousand years, when you emerge, this great catastrophe of heaven and earth will surely have passed."

However, he did not intend for Jia Yu to be used for such things. He held high expectations for this descendant of the imperial family.

McGonagall and Filch appeared in the trio’s field of vision, following Mrs. Norris. They had been walking at a steady pace, but upon rounding the corner and seeing the burning wooden door, they quickened their stride.

As someone from her previous life, she understood that one must bring a gift when visiting someone’s home; arriving empty-handed always felt wrong.

If she hadn't just waved the system interface back and forth in front of Huineng to confirm he truly couldn't see it, she would have suspected he had some shady deal with the system.

Carrying the weight of a life, living a lifetime in longing and repentance, and facing the misunderstanding and blame of others—one’s heart could never be at peace.

Once he received Peter’s order, Deep Blue fell silent, evidently dedicating all its computing power to scouring for traces of the IGH Company.

Lu Xueying and Bi Fu chatted back and forth, leaving Lin Yun completely confused. He had no idea what they were hinting at, and he could only nod along, lost in the dark.

No matter how capable he was, he couldn't watch Jiang Xinghuo every single day, nor could he monitor his thoughts and emotions constantly.

Among the throngs of people filling the streets, there was one who, like a mere grain of dust, should have been the one riding a tall horse.

However, there was another matter: his new weapon was in the final stages of production, and he needed to teach them how to use it.

Xu Jian listened, but only to what was important; everything else went in one ear and out the other. Especially those trying to stir up trouble—those he naturally could not believe.

Xiao Zhen had been summoned by Zhang Qing on the way to the Governor’s office. He was a peak Celestial Realm expert, but most importantly, he was a subordinate of Zhang An—his father.

Just as Lin Chong was planning his revenge, Elder Hu'an appeared. He remembered something strange; theoretically, after being struck by the God-Extinguishing Crossbow, Anna should have had her soul and body annihilated, so why was her corpse still intact?

"It’s fine. So many years have passed, I’m used to it. I’m full; I want to go for a walk outside. Want to come?"

Otherwise, one must possess a certain level of intelligence; otherwise, they are just another pawn fighting to the death on the battlefield.

Her words were truly cutting. It was true that I couldn't protect myself, let alone her, but seeing her with another boy made me lose my temper.

Dian Feng watched coldly, a faint smile on his lips as the interstellar war unfolded across the starry sky of the Source Realm.

Although Zhang Xinjie was arrogant at the moment, it wasn't impossible to take him down, but it would require time and the right opportunity.

Among those three hundred people, after several hundred more years, only fifty remained, their hearts firm in their pursuit of the Dao.

If he had used his full strength from the start, Tong Tian was confident he could have finished off this Blood Killer with only a tenth of his health lost. He admitted that, in terms of pure technique, he was far superior to his master, Blood Butcher, but the Blood Killer was simply playing the game based on his natural talent.

"Guoguo..." Dian Feng suddenly couldn't help himself; his heart was sobbing, and his hidden emotions burst forth, impossible to contain.

After these heinous villains were executed by Liu Mofan, their vengeful spirits were sealed away by him. All of this was, naturally, carried out in accordance with Xiao Feng’s instructions.

After explaining the theoretical knowledge to Zhao Mu in detail and providing examples for each point, the master demanded that Zhao Mu begin his training, standing by his side to correct his mistakes.

Liu Hui asked the captain, "My phone has no signal here, I don't need to turn it off, do I?"

Because if he had that guy’s fame, he wouldn't even need to deceive anyone; the girls would throw themselves at him, just like moths to a flame.

As expected of the Flash Goddess Yoruichi; even in front of many students and ordinary Shinigami, escaping was a matter of a mere blink. Those who didn't know better would think a Hell Butterfly had simply flown the wrong way.
