38 I am very useful.

As for the others, Censor Shu is currently highly favored by the Emperor; those capable of helping Madam Shu contend with him are few and far between.

Before Jiang Xuefu could say anything, the four of them pulled Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan from her embrace and looked them over from head to toe.

Logically, someone with paraplegia like Jiang Qingshan should not even be able to sit upright, let alone walk with crutches. Yet, as he braced his arms against the crutches, he managed to stand up using his own strength.

Thus, taking advantage of the moment everyone was walking ahead, she lingered a few steps behind and whispered into Du Jingyi’s ear.

It was the Fourth Aunt who spoke. She was always direct and never one to beat around the bush; moreover, she truly cared for Gu Xiaolang, which was why her expression was so solemn as she spoke.

Seeing the Wang family’s invitation, the masters of the Marquis of Anping’s estate had mixed feelings when they saw Su Lanjiu shake her head and decline.

She handed those twenty taels of silver to Li Hongcai, asking the Li family to come to her home to propose marriage, thereby formalizing her relationship with him.

The thought that her most wretched and humiliating moment had been witnessed by the entire village—including her own parents—made her eyes turn blood-red with rage, wishing she could kill everyone present.

"Sanemi." Ubuyashiki Kagaya’s voice came from the veranda. He tilted his head slightly, shifting his gaze away from Rengoku Kyojuro.

As for the matters worrying Xu Lianyang, Geng Xingshuang felt that things might not necessarily reach that point. Even if they did, as a physician, Xu Lianyang only needed to tell the authorities the facts of what happened; there was no need to concern herself with the rest.

While they were talking, they reached the bearded man’s home. Though he was a rough-looking man, his home was quite neat and elegant. Of course, as an associate professor at a university, it would hardly be fitting for his home to be in disarray.

No sooner had I finished speaking than the phoenix’s corpse suddenly burst into a roaring blaze. I was startled and nearly teleported away. However, I felt no danger, nor even any intense heat, so I calmed myself down.

It wasn’t that we couldn’t find them; it was that they were almost non-existent. There was never a shortage of such people near entertainment venues in any city, but now, having passed through so many streets, we hadn’t seen a single one.

Miao Jian naturally saw her too. He walked toward her slowly under his umbrella, his cold, stern brows slightly furrowed as he watched her standing all alone in the heavy snow, letting it bury her.

After a night of intimacy, Ruomeng returned to Zhengyi Residence while I stayed behind to continue my cultivation. My dantian was still completely empty, which was a dangerous state. If I were to encounter a formidable enemy now, I would have to rely solely on my physical prowess.

"The plum blossoms in the courtyard are all in bloom, yet my Xue’er remains so dense." The King pursed his lips, his expression shifting through a kaleidoscope of emotions.

The first type involved basic services for ordinary people—restaurants, taverns, daily necessities, and transportation—most of which were performed by those unable to cultivate the Dao.

Although the dark energy field had been broken, such attacks were still insufficient to inflict fatal damage on Vita.

The reason Dongzi did not hold a grudge against Lu Yao was that he could see that the Lu Rufa family’s circumstances were poor, and that she was his only sister; naturally, he protected her to the extreme. Dongzi, being a man himself, could surely understand this brotherly protective instinct.

The Yellow Emperor brandished the Xuanyuan Sword and plunged into the water dragon. Bolts of sword light tore through the sky, illuminating the entire Northern Wilderness. Within moments, the water dragon was torn to pieces, but for Gonggong, this was merely the prelude.

"Should we go and stop them?" a man from the Snow Kingdom asked, watching as five more figures rushed out of the forest.

"I... I am not entirely sure either. I only remember that on the night before I died, I went to sleep as usual, but I never woke up again," Thomas said with a look of regret.

"Does the Wuji Sect have any connection to the God Realm or the Nine Domains?" Hua Wu asked in confusion, looking quite adorable.

Chen Changan looked toward the many dwellings on the island and said, "Xue Shan’s courtyard is among these houses. However, his courtyard has a bamboo forest, so it should be easy to find. Why don’t you go?"

"Damn, Brother Bing, what happened to you? Why are you as drained as if you’d just given birth to octuplets?" Li Changqing asked, looking at me.

"My thanks to the Daoist Master, but this body formed of spiritual energy is not suitable for her," the golden-armored man shook his head again, his expression filled with sorrow.

"No, Brother Fei, I cannot accept this secret manual. You traded your life for it; even if there was no danger in the end, you risked your life to start it," Qian Ruonan refused.

"It is not that I intended to hide it from you, but there are some things that knowing will bring you no benefit," Nanfeng said sternly.

The meaning behind her words was clear. Shen Qingwu knew that if the Yun family neither punished nor reprimanded her, but simply kept her locked away, it would eventually end up like the case of the cinnabar wick—fading into nothingness.

The tourists saw this and expressed their disappointment, but fortunately, the broadcast would resume the next day. They all flooded the chat with "886" and countless tips to celebrate Chen Hu’s successful escape from the mercenaries.

The cowboy uncle felt a sense of relief. After the Girafarig approached, he immediately kicked out with his hind legs, and with a thud... the feeling of his hair being pulled vanished instantly.

I wanted nothing more than to pounce on him and bite him to death, but with my limbs weak, I could only lie cowardly against his chest, panting heavily. His hand gave me no chance to catch my breath or rest; as it slid from my waist to my chest, a slight provocation from his fingertips made me unable to suppress a whimper.

In the Sky Sports studio, Thierry Henry watched in tension as Ali’s follow-up shot was saved; unable to hold back any longer, he leaped up and pumped his fists.

Tang Zhong truly wanted to kill this guy. China is a land of etiquette—what right does someone who does not know how to respect others have to live? What face do they have to continue existing?

I kept my head down, letting him lead me by the hand into the pre-arranged venue. It was already covered in rose petals, and the air was thick with the scent of roses. It was so intense that it made me want to sneeze, but I knew that sneezing at such a moment would be unseemly, so I held it in firmly.

Su Yunrang sneered as she swallowed a Rejuvenation Pill, doing her best to heal her injuries while hiding deep in the poisonous mist with Shen Qinghong, waiting for Yun Yao to wake up.

When Liu Shi saw Liu Ao arriving late, he was about to flare up. But after inquiring about the situation, he calmed his anger and instead showered Liu Ao with praise.

"Tang Xi, guess what would happen if Tianxue found out about the things you’ve done? Do you think she would still pay you any mind?" Song Cheng pulled out a cigarette, held it between his lips, and asked with a smile.
