37 "Family"

"No. I, on the contrary, believe that the old scoundrel is deeply calculating; I fear he has long since prepared a retreat or anticipated this turn of events." At this moment, Li Hui suddenly shouted.

Murong Guifeng sneered at the masked man's actions, but the moment he saw the short blade appear in the man's hand, his sneer was instantly replaced by vigilance.

"Ghost Thief, put that blade away!" Lord Honda, who had been sitting in his chair in silence, finally spoke. His voice was deep and steady, making it impossible for Qin Feng to decipher his true intentions.

Faced with a sight that defied the limits of human imagination, even a staunch materialist like Chiang Kai-shek felt a sense of religious awe.

To discuss Japan's Dragon King and Dragon Palace, one must first address the belief in sea deities in Japan. Among the many such beliefs, the Dragon King is a rather unique figure.

He didn't look like he had just taken down three Pale Hunters; he looked as if he had simply crushed three rotten eggs with stones.

"Li Le, look at what time it is. Can't you let me get a good night's sleep?" Zhang Yang said.

Just as he was preparing to meditate for the martial arts tournament in two days, he suddenly remembered an item he possessed.

While Zhukov was summoning the high-ranking generals of the Soviet army, Marshal Zhang Yunnong, commander of the Imperial Western Front, was also convening an emergency military meeting in Volzhsky with the commanders of the armies in the southern Don region, as well as the commanders of the Korean and Fusang land forces and air force generals.

Xia Lei pulled the trigger again. His G-series assault rifle gave a soft "click," but once again, no bullets fired. His rifle was empty.

"Crack, crack." Two muffled rumbles of thunder came from outside. Chen Shuying felt a tremor in her heart, a sense of impending doom.

He held her in his arms, gently brushing the hair from her forehead. She opened her eyes, her face glowing with a radiant, flushed luster, as supple and fresh as it had been in the past.

That must have been while listening to the opera. But what kind of trivial matter was it? Not only did they beat her, but they also forced her to kneel all night without food or water, and were not even allowed to rise. Wasn't that just senseless torture? It would be a miracle if she didn't faint.

He Jiaxian felt a chill run down her spine at these words. Fang Yuting seemed like someone she didn't quite know, a total sense of strangeness that frightened her and made her all the more reluctant to agree to her request.

However, despite this, they did not think much of it, assuming it was merely some routine investigation. They did not believe the situation would last long, estimating it would be over in a few months at most.

Qin Sangruo had wanted to go out with Zhu Xiangru, but seeing his solemn expression and hearing his gentle reassurances, she dared not act spoiled and obediently stayed in her room to rest.

The mission we are to execute is highly classified and exceptionally dangerous, yet execute it we must.

"Mother, please take the time to teach Yulu well. Don't let her be as foolish as I am, being sold by others and still helping them count their money," Fang Yuhe cautioned.

Master Feng also suddenly realized his own recklessness. Fearing that these people might actually abscond with the spirit stones, he stood guard at the shop entrance all day to keep watch.

Long Tu screamed repeatedly, channeling the power of the Demon King. The massive black gate swung open, revealing an unimaginably vast space.

Seeing that Lin Xuewu was to depart for the Imperial Capital tomorrow, Qin Duya spent a sleepless night, lost in thought.

The mere mention of this makes my blood boil. I had let He Fengqianqian go; if she hadn't blindly moved the lid, I wouldn't have been scalded by the steam. And yet, she has the nerve to blame me for knocking over the medicine pot.

On the day she returned to the manor, the Grand Princess told the Prime Minister many things that had happened at the Wanfo Temple, including the fact that Zheng Wanyan was an impostor and her provocative remarks inside the cave.

"That's good. Feel free to instruct us whenever you need something, Miss," Yue Tian said. He exchanged a glance with Mu Bin, and the two departed.

"You—" He Yuecheng was astonished. The words of the Shadow contained a wealth of information, and he caught every single detail. He had always believed that only he and Ye Changkong were trapped here; he never expected there to be others.

Look, even Mu Yunze knows that my greatest virtue is being obedient. I am so obedient, so principled, and so honest.

"I know it sounds unlikely, but the data does not lie," Leina said earnestly to Chen Jian.

After the memorial day for the Super Soldiers ended, Lian Feng activated the three super-genes within the Black Wing Squad project.

Black lines streaked across Bai Ji's forehead. He finally understood why Bai Chenxi’s pursuit of Yan Yue had never succeeded.

"I have no grudge against you. I can let you leave. Quan Shaoqing, don't get agitated." Gu Feng felt a murderous intent he had never experienced before.

Though hesitant, he could not resist his primal craving for blood and explained himself to Wan Qi.

She had spent so many years struggling in society, working her heart out with total dedication, yet she could never afford such a precious item.

This kind of microwave food served no purpose other than to fill one's stomach and satisfy a craving; it lacked any real nutrition. Although the Chang family’s management wasn't particularly strict, they kept a row of vitamin tablets next to the microwave rack. Everyone could eat what they wanted without suffering from nutritional deficiencies, a truly happy outcome for all.

Qiao Chu sneered. She had called him properly, but he wouldn't pick up. He forced her to call and scold him before he would deign to call back.

Xinyi was clearly the one who wanted to use the restroom; her personality was such that whenever she got nervous, she felt the urge to go. Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to go again right now after having already gone just before the meal.
