Volume 1, Chapter 42: I'm Doing This for Your Own Good!

Nangong Yier looked at the three large chests: one filled with jewelry, one with gold, and one with silver. Atop them lay several bolts of pale green fabric, exactly her favorite color. She hadn't expected Aotian Qi to have such good observational skills, knowing she favored this shade; since he was so thoughtful, she gladly accepted them all without standing on ceremony.

In the morning, Zhuang Shaoyou was in the hall attending to official business. First, he glanced over the intelligence reports submitted by the Intelligence Department, finding no major issues, before moving on to various reports from Liaonan, one of which concerned the autumn harvest.

Elder Huang and the others sat cross-legged on the ground, coughing up blood continuously. They gazed up at the night sky, their faces etched with smiles, wild laughter, and sorrowful grins.

Since Mo Chen was sitting right next to Manman, one of Manman's little feet accidentally pressed directly against his cheek.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shaoyou was immediately startled. Xun You had also said that the Emperor Star was about to fall; it seemed Liu Hong truly did not have much time left! But what did this delaying tactic mean?

"Alright, it's fine now, it's fine. Since it's already been done, we might as well see it through to the end. I'd like to see how much more arrogant he can be!" This woman was far more ruthless than her son.

It was a pity that Mengmeng was not by her side this time in Yunnan. Otherwise, she could have sent Mengmeng out to scout and find out what was going on, making it easier for her to escape, right?

The two of them were playfully flirting with much delight, which only made Peilan's expression grow increasingly unsightly. In the end, she could only let out a sigh and shake her head helplessly.

"Sister Qiuye, what's wrong? Who is outside?" Su Qiian'ai asked, looking at the two of them with utter confusion as she stood rooted to the spot, refusing to step inside.

I didn't know whether his mind could comprehend what death meant at this point. I stood to the side, covering my mouth to keep my sobs from affecting him; I simply wanted to let him have a proper farewell with my mother.

Having missed its pounce, Shen Li lay miserably on the table, burying his head inside his forepaws, wishing someone would carry him right back to the Ancient Medicine Garden.

Jiuyao walked at a very slow pace, while Mo Hanxue followed silently behind her, his right hand tightly gripping the hilt of the immortal sword at his waist.

The man's previously relaxed lips tightened slightly. He glanced at Shen Yuan beside him and said nothing.

Upon receiving Lin Tian's affirmative answer, that person appeared exceedingly excited, as warm and familiar as if he had just run into a close relative.

The lotus pond was just a few steps away, but the water inside had long since been drained, exposing the sludge beneath. The air was thick with a faint, fishy stench, making it look as though the place had been abandoned for a long time.

On the surrounding walls were various exquisite and magnificent murals of auspicious clouds and soaring dragons, similarly inlaid with countless pearls and precious stones, along with countless strands of gold and silver thread and intricate tapestry embroidery.

Her body was still falling. To continue like this meant certain death. Mo Hanxue raised a hand to grab a section of vine while his other arm tightly wrapped around Jiuyao.

Hearing Boruto's words, Karin immediately knew that either Hyuga Hinata or Haruno Sakura was his mother.

Veins bulged on his temples, and despite using every ounce of his strength, he could not overcome the underworld official.

Although Russell liked the tune of this melody, she still reluctantly interrupted her flututing.

A sense of familiarity emanated not just from the forest, but also from the silvery-wide broadsword in Kate's hand, its hilt carved with the majestic image of a golden lion.

"Young Master Hu, you guys chat, I'm going back to work." Since Chiyu had already achieved her purpose, she had no wish to waste any more time; if she were caught by her superiors later, she would be reprimanded again.

Yet the report at this moment showed zero casualties, with a combat loss rate of only one percent—the general found it hard to believe.

Nine practitioners at the late stage of the Purple Palace Realm—this already constituted the peak strength of a Central Province noble family.

"Many thanks to Brother Luo for your concern, I am much better." Seeing Luo Yao come to visit, Shuangqiu hurriedly stood up to welcome him, only to be stopped by Luo Yao.

The countless nameless graves in the desolate tombs behind the mountain were frequented by insects and wild beasts resting upon them, even stained with excrement.

In other words, if the Black Dragon were to appear and acquire a notorious reputation among the common folk, and Qinhe's disguise were stripped away, then Eula would likewise be ruined.

You can certainly refuse to give up like this, you can certainly continue launching attacks in this manner, you can certainly carry your smugness right to the very end, and you can certainly remain this arrogant all the way through.

This immediately won the agreement of the students; who didn't like playing games during class? Even top-tier students were no exception.

I've thought about it. During the days the Master is having her period, you don't need to go back either. Just sleep on a pallet right here, help the Master fetch her meals, bring her hot water in the afternoon, and wash her clothes. Once she recovers, you won't have any more business here and can leave immediately.

Inside the base of the Special Operations Department, several dark figures were sneaking around, hiding in the blind spots of the surveillance cameras as they gradually approached the outer perimeter fence.

I immediately followed them down, and the fat man snatched my phone away with a ferocious expression, flinging it right under the wheels of a passing car.

Mengyang's photos, just uploaded, failed to provoke any reaction, receiving only a handful of views. People glanced at them hastily, assumed they were just some space photographs, and tossed them to the back of their minds after a couple of looks.

At this moment, Le Feng's primordial energy was completely exhausted and his body heavily injured; how could he possibly dodge? He could only twist his body slightly to avoid a fatal blow. The blade pierced right through his left flank, leaving a transparent hole clean through.

"I haven't seen her, but over the past twenty years, only my eldest aunt has gone missing in the Feng family." Feng Xiaoling said with a trace of timidity; after all, they had never met before, and she felt shy about confirming it.

Although Shanshan and Linlin were still shivering from the cold due to being too close to the eye of the formation formed by Pingqing and Pingjian, their hearts were joyful. Such a sight was something other Rakshasas and Asuras could never witness. Milanlu's heart remained relatively calm, though her eyes blazed with the same light, secretly thinking that while the risk of staying behind to watch the battle was high, the rewards would be astonishingly huge.

The corpse-child's skin was clearly not as tough as that of the desiccated corpse, and the sharp tip of Jingluan easily pierced through the corpse-child's body.

Consequently, polished aristocrats continually stepped forward to invite Emily to dance a waltz, only to be calmly declined one by one.

"His Excellency the President is wise. To not hide it from you, Your Excellency, I came this time to assume the position of clan head, and I knew nothing of this beforehand. My arrival was indeed a coincidence, and fortunately, no irreversible disaster was done. It is truly a blessing. I will leave those two agents and my nephew to Your Excellency to handle." Lesi hurriedly explained.

Cangyun and Moban lay comfortably on the sofa, enjoying the attentive service of several mechanical beast servants in sheer leisure. Coupled with the top-tier ingredients and drinks Moban kept in store, Cangyun, venerable master that he was, found the treatment immensely satisfying.

The two of them, having largely cast aside their past friction, exchanged a smile as they recalled the sight of Gida being blasted ten meters away by the rear-end attack of the Congalala lord.

Without needing any instructions, Supreme Lao Jun and the others automatically gathered in front of Zhang Qian, blocking the path between him and the Heavenly Soul.
