Volume 1, Chapter 34: Is Zhou Huaixu Failing?

It was truly unexpected that Shen Du and his companions would use the enemy's own tactics against them, making the idol itself declare that no offerings were needed. This was far easier than killing the old emperor and then painstakingly trying to convince everyone to abandon their faith.

As for the Zhou family, any lingering affection Zhou Ruoxi might have held had long since been eroded by their fickleness. She truly did not wish to see anyone from the Zhou family.

She steadied her surging emotions and looked up, only to realize he was not looking at her, but at someone behind her. Following Yi Yichen’s gaze, Li Xiaoxiao happened to catch Lin Lin winking at him.

It was much like using elixirs to boost one's cultivation; while it might appear impressive on the surface, achieving any further breakthrough in cultivation level would be exceptionally difficult.

Pushing Xiang'er out of the room and closing the door, Su Xiuer hurried to the table and finished the remaining papaya and snow frog jelly until the bowl was completely scraped clean.

"In the Eastern Market, the most popular place among cultivators is the 'Curiosity Shop.' It sells all sorts of miscellaneous goods that don't fall into the other four categories, including newly discovered, unidentified oddities."

However, Ye Siming’s body did not crash onto the cold ground; instead, he was caught by a pair of arms and cradled in a soft embrace.

The Su family was, after all, the wealthiest in Shoulin City, possessing vast fortunes. Given that the ancients placed immense importance on continuing the family line, it was not surprising they held such views.

Wen Huan looked toward them, never imagining that the person who arrived was the young hero Chu Qingfeng, whom she had encountered earlier that day.

Nuannuan felt very strange and turned to look at Shen Du. Seeing that Shen Du also wore an expression of agreement, she thought to herself that if they all believed so, there must be a reason for it, so she did not step forward.

The King shook his head. Could this girl, who had been rescued from Earth and looked exactly like his first love, be missing a few screws?

Xia Jie opened the letter and read it. Upon seeing the bold and elegant handwriting, a myriad of emotions flickered in his icy blue eyes. Finally, with a slight exertion of force, the stationery turned to ash in his palm.

Although Helian Yunzhan had not made a move, his high-level suppression was present; even outside the arena, they could feel it.

Because they had traveled the path once before, and Black Cliff was very familiar with the affairs between the First and Second Universes, their journey was extremely smooth.

"Whatever the relationship, in an occasion like this, it’s best not to speak of it openly." The peach-blossom-eyed man smiled gently at Yuan Xiao. Had she not been treated to the sight of Gao Ze for the past four years, Yuan Xiao would surely have been charmed.

He held Keke, intending to leave. Such a scene of long-awaited reunion was far too unsuitable for him. Just as he reached the doorway, Qin Chi called out to him.

After walking for a while, she saw them near two carriages and Gu Xingyue quickly hid to the side.

The words Yao Xiaodan had spoken earlier echoed in her mind. She shook her head desperately, trying to cast them off, but she could not. She braced herself and went to the banquet hall, pushing the door open to find only darkness.

Inquiring into the truth about the enemy was important, but if one were to accidentally offend the current emperor, there would likely be no hope for the next life.

Coming out this time was not as straightforward as usual, leaving her with a feeling like she had emerged from a quagmire. Only when she returned to her bed did she feel that oppressive, sticky sensation dissipate into thin air.

Sparrow said, "We are not far from the Tin Sea now. The other treasure location indicated on the map Zhou Xiaodie gave you should be beneath the Tin Sea." She pointed to the front left.

If a couple in a state of crisis suddenly stops arguing and becomes completely calm, it may signify that their relationship has truly come to an end.

Next, a squad of Southern Camp soldiers wielding waist sabers was forced into the backyard as a Northern Internal Security Bureau commander and his agents strode in.

Old Yu, standing to the side, sneezed repeatedly. Having been caught in the rain all day and exhausted from traveling these past few days, his old bones could no longer hold up. The one in the worst condition was Martha, who had already suffered internal injuries; the rain had only made things worse, and she began to run a high fever.

Hearing his uncle's strange description, Zhao Bing’s heart skipped a beat. Before nightfall, Yang Zongbao seemed to have said something similar. Could it be that something was truly going to go wrong today?

As the year drew to a close, heavy snow arrived early, freezing the Yongding River. Ships coming from the south were forced to unload at Zhangjiawan Wharf in Tongzhou. As a result, the Tongzhou section of the canal was packed with boats, and the wharf was filled with the clamor of people and carts coming to pick up cargo.

A family of three, two candlelight flickers glowing dimly. Cao Wanshan and his wife returned to the main room, and Cao Ling went back to his own room. The family seemed to have returned to their once warm life.

"I don't know." Jiang Han answered very candidly. He knew of such a saying, but as for the questions regarding it, how could he possibly know the answers?

Luo Lie decided to cooperate with Long Tianxin without any conditions. Long Tianxin was not surprised by this; she had anticipated it. Although she was not close to Lin Genni, she had believed from the start that Lin Genni would not accept her help.

Chu Huifang smiled and said that Director Lin need not be polite, and to enjoy the meal. She then turned and walked out.

However, this "panda" was not that kind of panda. Calling her "reckless" meant that when she fought the boss, she played too loosely, constantly feeding the enemy and sabotaging her teammates.

And now, she was like a pile of mud, collapsed on the ground, unable to even crawl, let alone avenge her own father; she couldn't even manage to end her own life.

At the same time, pulled by the power of the orbs, Archie and Maxie found their bodies uncontrollably drawn toward the coastline.

While the campus and the other side of the world were stirring with activity, the person involved, Jing Xiang, was agonizing over whether or not he should take the exam.

By now, wasting a little time occasionally was no big deal. Even if leveling time was wasted, the gap in levels would not change significantly.
