Volume One, Chapter 56: Better to Starve to Death Together with Him

“Fortunately, we have nothing else to do and can lend you a hand!” Yongming readily agreed.

Upon hearing this, Fengxue released the hem of Junxi’s garment and shifted her body into the bed, making room.

As sunlight once again streamed in and illuminated everything, Daishan reappeared within everyone’s sight.

The old leader sighed, “I understand.” Hopefully, the child was unharmed; otherwise, he would carry guilt for a long time.

“The prince inquired whether the Temple of Priests possesses a secret technique capable of replacing a person’s memories,” Moxun answered truthfully.

Silently calculating, using the “special emergency medicine” to restore fifty percent more of his health, Chen Fan was certain he could hold on for another four seconds for his teammates.

Yunshu was twisting the food box as she entered the room. Seeing Junxi and the others, she called out and, after brushing off the chill at the door, came inside and set the early meal on the table.

Catering solely to the audience’s tastes to dominate the box office isn’t the wisest strategy. Moran had once casually mentioned this during a chat.

“Shh—” Tang Ruoruo made a silencing gesture, her hand trembling as she steadied herself against the wall to peer inside.

Ximen Qing gently shook his head. The main reason he wanted to sever ties with the Ximen family was to be with Ximen Yayu openly and rightfully. Another reason, however, was deep disappointment.

On a makeshift, towering viewing platform beside the city wall, various factions had gathered. Those with good relations chatted; those without pretended not to see one another.

“Are those four stepping techniques called Sky-Treading Step, Sky-Shattering Step, Sky-Clearing Step, and Sky-Imprinting Step?” Xu Jingnian asked.

In truth, this was a matter of fate. The power of ghosts and spirits was limited; even if he wished to bring fortune to his deceased relatives, he could only do his best.

I nodded. “Yes, everything must be reclaimed!” I stubbornly declared, tears streaming down once more.

This was a subtropical region; the village nestled in the mountain hollow exuded a particularly damp scent.

The voice was familiar to Li Zhuang. Upon hearing it, his face instantly paled.

Du You had no time to waste on these matters. Those seventh- and eighth-rankers who surrendered were forcibly controlled one by one without concern for unexpected incidents.

Their attire was peculiar and antiquated, and they carried swords and knives, resembling ancient bandits.

His face was pale, large beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He lay on the sickbed, lacking the strength to even rise.

After many years, Jieshan Village still preserved the tradition of carrying guns and swords on their backs, but few actually drew their blades or fired shots at outsiders anymore.

Before obtaining the marriage certificate, that fellow pampered her with nightly massages. Once the certificate was signed, the massages stopped immediately.

I was utterly impressed with 201’s service quality, which addressed every concern thoroughly.

Perhaps I would spend my life cherishing her, comforting her, respecting her, protecting her, doing everything possible to keep her smiling and happy forever.

To accelerate the growth of Renren Network, especially against Tencent’s QQ, Li Feng devised a product matrix and presented it at the latest executive meeting.

After a full day of listening to departmental reports and assigning new tasks, Shen Yi rose and left headquarters for a dinner appointment.

The bandit beside Yu Qiuyu spoke, with an unmistakable threat that made Yu Qiuyu shudder inwardly.

Long Ru closed his eyes. Talent—can talent put food on the table? Can talent stop his father from being led by Long Yun? Can talent make Xia Guizhi more clear-headed?

“So, Mr. Mo Han, I agree with what you said because I truly come with the vision of ‘all parties aiming for friendly cooperation.’ I want to be friends with you.”

Those present had long disliked this envoy. Upon hearing his words, many joined in with derision.

Outside the Palace of Eternal Peace, Consort Li and Empress Zhao were carried in luxurious palanquins, majestic and haughty.

If not for Xia Yiwan, he wouldn’t have known that Yan Xiao ran away from home because of a message he had never sent.

Thinking of Yun Xiao’s cold and perfect face, Yun Luofeng’s lips curved into a faint smile.

Upon entering, a dark and damp smell assaulted her senses, and the heavy stench of blood made her furrow her brows tightly. Seeing the blood-stained figure tied to a wooden stake, her heart tightened, and a murderous aura surged from her.

Yun Xiao’s hand, originally resting on Yun Luofeng’s shoulder, trembled slightly. Her face betrayed an indescribable emotion.

Finally pressing close to the stove, Bai Qingqing murmured softly in her sleep, shifting further back.

“Mr. Yu, long time no see. This is my first time acting; I hope for your kind guidance,” Lin Yuning stood and extended her hand, a coquettish smile playing on her lips.

Everyone was prepared mentally, so no one pounced on him as if fearing he would run away.

Instead, seeing the brothers and Lin Ying playfully bantering, their lives seemed vibrant and warm. It made him feel sour and resentful of Sheng Yu’s pompous attitude.

“All right, if you have strength, it’s better to prepare for battle. Once we defeat the illegitimate son William, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him properly!” Baron Ketang Tan waved his hand and stopped the chatter.

However, the staircase corridor was very long; it took the group two hours to reach the end.

With the resounding crack of fists, Lin Hao’s head was pounded by eight fists like raindrops.

Out of curiosity, Ye Haoxuan followed his gaze upward and was startled upon seeing the object in the sky.
