Regardless, with Suleiman's warning, at least they wouldn't be walking blindfolded into this.

Casinos inherently rely on professional methods to rig the odds, ensuring the house always wins without loss.

The reason I made such a demand was simply because being her student felt too stifling and exasperating most of the time.

However, Jiang Fan knew that this was a formidable combat force for the human race. When that legendary figure truly appeared one day, the return of Tianfu City to the Nine Desolations would inevitably exert a massive deterrent force against alien races.

Yet, before he could even plead with Martha on his behalf, he was dragged into the intensive training as well, along with a major portion of Chaldea.

Wasn't that fellow surnamed Xu swearing up and down that his strategy was foolproof? How come it seemed like it hadn't even scratched a single hair of that eunuch scoundrel?

Madam Ke had long known what kind of person Li Yongzhen was, and thus she had never shown him any pleasant expressions.

That day, the powerful black dragon was suppressed by the Dragon-Suppressing Plate at the bottom of the dragon palace beneath the Yellow River, while he himself became trapped between the dragon palace and the Dragon-Suppressing Plate, doomed to eternal damnation.

Was the implication that the modern era lacked Daoist giants like Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, leaving only common swindlers?

It's just that Master Ji's financial resources were limited at the time, and he could only stubbornly cram his sole medium-grade spirit stone into the hands of Fellow Daoist Wang.

If it were just that kind of romantic trouble, it would still be manageable; the parties involved cared about their faces and wouldn't make a scene, and one could simply close their doors and resolve it internally. But such messy gossip spread for all to see, ultimately resulting in the Wang family losing all their dignity.

Watching Han Yanqing's anxious yet earnest back, she thought for a moment, then retrieved a large clump of fresh, soil-laden grass from her spatial storage and placed it on the open ground nearby.

Upon seeing that the main room housed not only the old matriarch but also the ill-reputed Zhang Lan'er, she felt no great emotional fluctuation. Remembering how they had both suffered together that day and nearly perished, effectively sharing a fate akin to dying on the same day by a hair's breadth, she gave a slight nod of acknowledgment by way of greeting.

Although Lvzhu was not currently by their side, Li Qingmu was, after all, Lvzhu's nominal "mistress" and naturally had the authority to make decisions on her behalf, even if they were in reality as close as sisters.

No matter what, they could not leave Yongcheng right now; otherwise, the common folk waiting here would face an unprecedented catastrophe.

Yet when her gaze traveled downward and she caught sight of the pillow in Gu Youqing's hands, she froze.

Therefore, following this examination, Xiao Zhongran and Xue Yingxue achieved the highest scores. To Tang Zangyue's surprise, the questions she formulated were all related to medicinal herbs and medical principles—topics she had merely mentioned without delving into deeply—yet Xiao Zhongran's score actually surpassed Xue Yingxue's by a few points.

Seeing that Qin Guanglin had wandered off somewhere on business, and hearing from others that Master Shen was drinking again, his gaze shifted slightly as he went off to search for him.

Lacking an appetite, Fu Yingshan subconsciously assumed her younger sister must be ill. When Xiao Ji came looking for her yesterday, she had already sensed something was amiss.

The sound was deafening, startling even Yifeng. Seeing that Qin Zhengong was about to slap himself across the face again, Yifeng hurriedly reached out to stop him.

Lin Xi discovered that Luo Fugui's arm was still dripping with blood. Word had it that upon learning his brother Luo Gang had committed crimes, Luo Fugui had wanted to uphold justice above family and arrest Luo Gang, leading to Luo Gang's resistance and resulting in this outcome.

One could easily imagine that such a grand float parade, featuring a five-hundred-meter-long procession, would have over a thousand people performing various traditional programs along the streets.

Though Xiao Nanfeng didn't quite grasp the meaning of An Qing's words, upon hearing the final sentence, something seemed to click in his mind, and he immediately halted in his tracks.

The storefront and location received the headquarters' approval. Although this was within both of their expectations, they were still thoroughly thrilled.

At the mere thought of the word "rebounce," An Qing gave up on diet pills entirely; even the slightest rebound in weight would be a fatal blow to her.

He reached out to pinch his cheek, and upon seeing the vermilion mark between his brows and the color of his eyes, he let out a soft sigh.

He had no idea how much time had passed before he gradually regained consciousness. Awakening, he found that Liu Fei was gone, along with the rest of the guards. In the driver's seat sat a person wearing a black hoodie, currently driving the vehicle.

Everyone knew precisely what kind of place the Fifth family was, yet Ye Qing绾 intended to go there entirely alone.

Still, Lin Ze had underestimated the congestion during the morning rush hour; by the time he reached the company, it was already nine-thirty. According to company regulations, being more than thirty minutes late constituted truancy.

In truth, the moment she caught sight of that figure in the black robe, Meng Xueyao understood what had transpired. What she couldn't quite figure out, however, was where Ji Jingzhi had gone—was there some hidden secret within this pool?

The other party's objective in doing so was to provoke a conflict between her and Zhenyuanzi's nephew, thereby causing a rift and a complete break in relations between her and Zhenyuanzi.

With that, Lin Qiqai grabbed Yun Yi's arm. "Let's go, you're coming with me right now to find Mayor Xu. Even if they've branded us as plagiarists, they have no right to lock up my husband."

"Who?" Yu Wanwan heard someone speaking right beside her. Who was it? Sorry for what?

Because he had previously exerted himself to sustain the Five Spirits Grand Array, he had consumed a significant amount of vitality, even damaging his fundamental source.

Come to think of it, it was somewhat pathetic. Having been in this world for so long, Richard had cultivated very few intimate friends, leaving him with virtually no one to chat with when the mood struck.

Hearing Aunt Cheng's praise for He Sangsang, Jiang Yu thought that if He Sangsang possessed a tail, it would undoubtedly be wagging happily at this very moment.

The establishment of the Huaguo Paranormal Response Unit could not be brought to light. At critical moments, it served as a stabilizing heart pill for the country. The mountains within Dachuan were vast and densely wooded; one could throw two entire army groups into certain peaks without outsiders ever discovering a trace.

After all, with the Maoshan Sect intervening, it implied that the Maoshan Sect still acknowledged Tu Long as their disciple.

...I was instantly rendered speechless. Did he and President Huang share some sort of past as well? He truly was a man adept at concealing his inner thoughts.

Burning hot, intense, as though wishing to shatter those bygone days, leaving her not only in pain but oddly liberated.

Hua Weilu felt as though she had been struck by a bolt of lightning, utterly incapable of reacting for a moment.

With that, he led the way forward, and together we took the elevator down to the ground floor. Two Land Rovers were already waiting at the entrance; I shared one with Dragon Brother, while the three of them took the other. I figured Ah Jiao must have reached her limit and therefore chose not to travel with us.

Someone once said that a truly attractive person can effortlessly pull off any hairstyle, and Qiu Lingyang was precisely that sort of person.

Consequently, within the central imperial city, the residences of Su Qingying, Su Hentian, and Qianmo gained numerous new occupants.

He raised his hand as if to strike him, only to see the latter slink away disconsolately toward beneath the magnolia tree. The rain soaked his garments, tinting his pale white robe a faint cyan, making him look pitiful no matter how one viewed it.
