“Master, the Zhe family truly is extraordinary. From Zhe Congruan’s time guarding the northwest until now, seven generations have passed. If we trace back to Zhe Zongben, that makes ten generations in total.”

In the distance, a variety of potted plants grew, each bearing rare and exotic flowers and herbs. A hundred blossoms bloomed simultaneously, competing in fragrance and beauty. The fresh, tender buds exuded an intoxicating floral scent.

The marquis reached out and grasped two weapons. He sheathed the Soul Devouring Sword, then picked up the Star-Splitting Blade and swung it forward. The ball of fire was immediately extinguished by the marquis.

Very well. With a deafening scream that shook the heavens and earth, she once again wrapped her entire body in the bedding.

“Are there no officials or royal guards near His Majesty?” You Jingyan felt a deep frustration toward Zhao Zhen, as if he were exasperated by his lack of resolve.

At this moment, Gao Qing conceived another plan. He knew he could not confront the clan leader and his men head-on, so he had no choice but to resort to this method. After making up his mind, Gao Qing went to Qing Shen’s home, where Fei Cai was already asleep.

Huoyan said, “I’ll go up myself! I’m feeling much better now.” With that, Huoyan stood and headed upstairs.

Whales, as large as low mountains and weighing tens of tons, were giants of the sea. Yet before the cultivators of the demon clan, they were like mere fry, powerless to resist and doomed to become bloodied prey.

“Are you one of their agents? I imagine you know the answer well enough in your heart. Step aside at once.” After speaking, the guardian immediately approached the marquis.

Li Xing walked out of Aisite’s home with hollow eyes. He had sullied his own reputation, committing acts others dared not even imagine, let alone perform. He considered himself a lone wolf, isolated and untouchable. Only today did he realize that Laqi Li was a living, breathing person.

She no longer wanted to agonize daily over whether to love him or not, or if she should. The constant thoughts gave her headaches.

At this moment, the red-haired man was enveloped in a crimson light, which emitted flames that wrapped around Qin Feng, leaving him no chance to act. Yet Qin Feng remained seated, indifferent.

“Sister, the husband’s current state…” Watching Jiang Cheng fall into a trance again, Bai Zhirou looked toward Yan Ji with concern. Among Jiang Cheng’s four wives, Yan Ji was the most accomplished, knowledgeable, and the clearest about what Jiang Cheng was doing now.

In contrast, the incapable shadowy figures were willing to join, but their involvement brought no benefit to the Thirteen Bureau.

At first, I thought he was being controlled by something, which caused him to unconsciously enter Room 702 and do something there. But now, in this room, we have found nothing.

Now that Zhu Yong had given them a chance to show their faces, they naturally wanted to savor the moment in the spotlight. Otherwise, the money would have been wasted.

But after hearing Li Guang’s account, I realized this was somewhat different from my initial assumption.

After eight o’clock at night, Chen Lianhua finally finished a day’s work. She stood by the office window, glanced at the spirit shrine by the riverbank, and intended to check if the villagers needed anything else.

At that moment, Wu Da also emerged from the tavern. Zhu Yong promptly said to him, “Prefect Wu, starting tomorrow, you must dispatch people to seal off all properties belonging to the Wang and Zhao families throughout the city. Not a single one must be overlooked.”

Artists become stars and gain more fans, earning greater wealth. But for a police officer, the only sign of stardom is that more people come to seek justice from you—and specifically, to seek it from you.

Flying ever upward, after reaching millions of billions of miles, Chen Mo looked toward the Primordial Continent but still saw no end. As the distance grew, the sun in the sky grew larger. After flying for six hundred thousand years, the sun completely blocked Chen Mo’s view of the sky.

“If I don’t give my all for her, I would betray my conscience. Whenever I recall her faint cries for help...” Xun Yi’s voice choked, unable to continue, tears shimmering in his eyes.

Though his words were cold and indifferent, the green-robed immortal quietly parted to make way, as if to say, “The broad road leads to the heavens; each should go their own way.”

Lin Tao’s action was truly out of desperation; not everyone has the courage to betray the Umbrella Company.

The leopard-bodied men were creatures resembling centaurs, with the lower half being that of a black panther, and the upper half human. Unlike the horse’s long legs, the panther’s legs were relatively short. Coupled with their sleek black fur, these leopard-bodied men looked quite eerie.

Ye Zhan’s Fourth Regiment began collaborating with the heavy artillery unit to construct an artillery position. After a night of hard work, the entire blocking position had taken shape. Throughout the night, the new Korean army showed no movement within Majia Pass.

After preparing the spiritual herbs needed for alchemy, Yu Chan hurried to deliver them to Su Wan. The urgency was not due to fears of delaying the refining process but because there were questions to ask Su Wan.

The touching story of “sacrificing oneself to feed the tiger” is well known.
