42 Twenty-Four Hours on Sunday

Dressed in nothing but a set of translucent, ultra-thin lace lingerie, her three key points were faintly visible. The white sheer gauze draped over the outside offered no concealment at all, instead making them only more conspicuous as if in a clumsy attempt at modesty.

Huo Tingshen uttered three low words to Cocktail, and then, holding Li Su, he was the first to walk toward the corridor.

Tang Weiwan stopped in her tracks, a faint smile playing on her lips. All of this was entirely within her expectations.

Inside the Palace of Cold, Bei Yehan, who had just entered a state of self-forgetfulness, suddenly felt the heart-connecting thread on his left index finger being tugged slightly.

Village Doctor Chun harbored a deep resentment toward this man, yet for some reason, she simply could not banish him from her mind, occasionally finding herself thinking of him.

Hearing her voice, Bei Yehan immediately understood. He flashed to Jinfeng's side and hoisted her directly into the air with his spiritual energy.

The gasps in her throat sounded like a broken bellows. Forcing herself to stand up once more, she staggered unsteadily as she approached the spot.

Of course, those who could perceive such matters were all astute veterans; none of them would be foolish enough to bring this affair out into the open.

Sheng Chuxin, who had originally intended to pick up her teacup and take a sip to steady her thoughts, dropped the cup involuntarily upon hearing her words, splashing the tea directly across her dress.

"Hehe, I wonder which sect Elder Li is heading to?" Pam clasped his hands together in a salute, asking with feigned deference.

Mu Ximei rolled her eyes. The opportunity had arrived; she could take this chance to pretend to return to the pavilion, then pretend she had forgotten to take something away, and conveniently pretend to retrieve it.

However, right at that moment, Old Demon Hong's voice abruptly rang out. The excitement and eagerness in his tone were somewhat exaggerated, giving Jiang Yi a start.

Consequently, Wang Rengong and Pei Xingyan believed they could use carrier pigeons to send a message to the Sui army in Yulin Commandery, asking them to dispatch envoys to invite Yuming to their rescue.

What made Yuming feel even more gratified was that this battle had won him the wholehearted devotion of the ten thousand former Zheng troops, who essentially acknowledged him as their new lord. This gave him even greater confidence for the battles ahead.

He was well aware that once Ling Yanyu managed to break free, given her cultivation realm and the assistance of the astral talisman summons, it would be utterly impossible for him to kill Jiang Yi; instead, he would have to remain on guard against them.

"Lord Yu, can you truly remain indifferent to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Wu'an?" Seeing that Yu remained silent throughout, Li Xiuning finally could not help asking.

Li Ning disdainfully tossed the golden token aside and continued on his way! Vaguely, he recalled the aspiration he held in his youth when he first entered the Xiaoyao Sect—the relentless pursuit of immortality. Back then, he had secretly told himself that he must attain immortality. Without immortality, no matter how brilliant and peerless one's youth, a hundred years later all would turn to dust.

Feiyu desperately wanted to rush over and throw Master Wang out, but having just seen Master Wang's hand tremble, she guessed he might have missed the acupuncture point and could not be disturbed at this moment, as he was trying to save Luoxi. Retreating, she closed the door securely.

Just as he leaped down from his horse, the carriage lost all control. The two tall steeds were on the verge of plunging off the cliffside. Li Ning immediately flew forward to block the path of the two horses. Pushing forward with both arms, he gathered the full strength of his bloodline and grabbed the reins of each horse with one hand, striving to bring them to a halt.

The caravan traveled through the night, and by daybreak, both men and beasts were exhausted. Minglu had no choice but to order the troops to rest in place. However, he dared not allow them to cook meals; they simply ate some dry rations before urging everyone back on the road.

Thinking of this, I slowly crept closer to Iron Mask, and taking advantage of his lack of preparation, I bit down hard. Iron Mask's reflexes were still quite sharp; just as I was about to sink my teeth into him, he felt a chill on his back, and without even turning his head to look, he rolled directly onto the ground, dodging my attack.

Shang Yan had been expecting Hanyue to stand up and bow to her in greeting, never imagining that the other party would completely disregard her.

Although unwilling, the coachman dared not defy Hanyue's orders, so he could only stand aside with a dark expression.

Mu Yingchen had only left after seeing her eat something. As soon as he closed the door, he saw Mia leaning against the wall by the doorway, waiting for him.

A-Chun maintained the deportment expected of nobility, though it appeared somewhat strained. She sat kneeling there with a feigned composure, her head slightly lowered.

Old Wang was thirty-five this year and considered himself in the prime of his youth, most detesting being called "old." Right then, he had no leisure to bicker with Old Third Tie, grinning from ear to ear with his eyes crinkled in amusement.

The master she revered was not merely a village chief; he had once safeguarded this nation's peace, and even now, he remained an object of faith for many soldiers. What emotions would she feel upon realizing this?

I was not wearing any underwear to begin with, and as a wave of cold air struck, most of my body was exposed to the open air.

Both of these matters plagued her simultaneously, rendering her incapable of focusing on anything, unable even to sleep peacefully.

True to expectation, the car came to a screeching halt right outside Ni Xuanyi's door, the tires emitting a harsh screech against the pavement. Ni Xuanyi frowned slightly, yet still did not raise her head.

Feeling a slight pain on his forehead, Lin Tao let out a strange squawk, "What the hell, are these raindrops? Why do they feel like pebbles?" Forgetting everything else, he obediently flattened himself onto the ground as Long Que had instructed, his hands clutching desperately at the roots of the wild grass around him, burying his head deep within the vegetation.

With another teleportation, a lingering fear gripped Ye Moto as he looked at the golden giant twenty-some meters away. The giant was suspended motionlessly in mid-air as if completely weightless, its face slowly turning toward Ye Moto's position.

Under Viktor's aggressive assault, the opposing mid-laner already had relatively low health, which was finished off by Jinx's two shots. Although the Twitch had built a Runaan's Hurricane and its wave-clear capability was sufficient, facing low health, he still had to give up the lane.
