"This is the first time I've ever seen a single person grab such a huge amount from a group red envelope—1666, absolutely legendary!!!"
"I got 1999, Sister Wu, I love you 99."
"I'm in such a great mood today that I've decided to share my ultimate hidden treasures."
With that, she flung out an entire set of Yan Wenyu's personal photo albums. In them, Yan Wenyu wore very little; his skin was a cold, pale white, with bluish veins clearly visible. Where it should be flushed, it was flushed, and one close-up abdominal muscle shot after another left people dazzled and enchanted.
Around the surrounding grass, several spray tubes appeared, and a faint incense drove away the mosquitoes, making the area around the pavilion exceptionally quiet.
Pan An was even more bewildered upon hearing this. Cai Zhenghua took out his phone and found that it still could not be used, so he quickly asked about Pan An's phone, only to find the result was the same. The two of them had no choice but to go to a nearby phone shop to buy a new one. After Cai Zhenghua inserted his SIM card, he found that communication was functioning normally.
Feng Xiaoxiao took more than ten minutes to psych herself up for facing Grandpa Yi, but when she went downstairs, she didn't see a trace of the old man.
Yu Mei, who was in hot pursuit, was still at the alley entrance ten steps away, while the waterway was at the end of the alley just five steps away.
"By the way, Musk. Aren't you a genius in linguistics and an expert in mathematics and physics? How come you're also so familiar with other academic disciplines?" Li Qingfeng asked with curiosity.
This wasn't Nanodu, and I didn't have any connections here. As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake; truth be told, I wasn't feeling very confident inside either, but in front of Cao Muxue, I certainly couldn't show cowardice.
He remembered there was a candle in his pocket, pulled it out, and tried to light it with a fire starter. After several attempts, the candle showed no reaction. He shielded it with his hand and managed to nurse the flame slightly larger, and only then did the candle begin to glow.
If Ye Qingtang truly had some special quirks, Lu Xuanxiang still found it a bit hard to believe. Since Ye Qingtang had them do this, there must be some method behind it. Of course, they knew nothing about demons and monsters, so naturally, Lu Xuanxiang had no idea what kind of method it actually was.
Both of them looked at the child with great excitement and utter surprise, as this was the first time since the child came into their lives that he had spoken words expressing care for them.
Shopkeeper Qian waved his hand, uttered a casual "never mind," and motioned for the sedan bearers to continue. The sedan then moved slowly forward, and before long, the composed Shopkeeper Qian noticed that the sedan had stopped once again. Before he could ask, the respectful yet troubled voice of a sedan bearer sounded from outside.
As soon as the ship docked, he saw his elder brother and elder sister chatting and laughing on the dock, and standing right beside them was actually his brother-in-law, Xia Yingwu.
Many of the powerful beings in this Underworld were originally transformed from the strong figures of the other five clans who had attempted to comprehend the power of death.
Cautious footsteps approached from all directions. Freya lifted her somewhat heavy eyelids; her consciousness was hazy, and the swirling flames of war and enemies in her vision became blurred.
Just as she was collecting relief supplies, she noticed that the bushes were overgrown with lush dandelions.
A hint of chilliness seeped through the cold light of dawn, and the room was filled with a sense of emptiness... An emptiness stemming from Fu Sisi's missing clothes, and even more so, from the missing Fu Sisi herself.
"Xinxin, what has happened?" He hurried forward, taking two steps in one, a trace of urgency in his tone.
With one more person, the atmosphere grew even richer, and the family seemed to have returned to the past. Everything remained as relaxed as before, except that the children had grown up a bit.
Yu Sheng's reputation was ruined because of this; no one asked him to lead teams anymore, and he subsequently faded into obscurity.
Xiao Yunqi gave a cold laugh. They had already spoken a mountain of ill words about him and pinned an undeserved, nameless blame on him—what else was there to discuss?
Before he knew it, a full month had passed since he came to this world, and Lin Zhou found himself growing increasingly accustomed to such a lifestyle.
At this remark, the auspicious date and time that Elder Bu could have calculated in just a few moments ended up being calculated by him for an entire night.
As for how Shi Xi managed to hide, she couldn't remember at all, but the beating she took was real enough, leaving a rather deep impression.
