Being in the same industry, Nan Yu's analysis of other brands was truly incisive and hitting the nail right on the head.
She recounted how Marshal Han sought to anger the Crown Prince of the Golden Dragon to death by targeting his princess, and how he intended to have Princess Li killed, among various other incidents. Each and every detail left Yelu Luming terrified and burning with rage.
This remark could easily be perceived as sarcasm, but with Qian Shuishui asking it with that particular expression, it sounded even more like she was deliberately making such comments to disparage others.
Yan Sui walked over to the ventilation area by the stairwell, pulled a crushed cigarette from his pocket, and trembling, took out a lighter. Yet, try as he might, his hands failed to spark a flame. At that moment, a hand reached out from beside him, took the lighter from his grasp, and with a sharp "click," lit it.
"Alright, shift your formations! Let us protect the Hall Master with the Blazing Sun Formation. Brother Feng, you guys go!" After Du Yu finished speaking, they altered their formation, slowly surrounding Zhan Tian in the center. At this moment, Zhan Tian swallowed a handful of medicinal pills and sat cross-legged on the spot, rapidly recovering his spiritual energy.
The fair beauty before him blinked her eyes, which were as bright as stars. Feeling the direct and unabashed gaze of Mu Ziyu, a delicate blush bloomed across her refined face. Then, the beautiful bride burst into a chuckle, like a pebble cast into a pool of water, sending ripples of joy dancing across her features. Mu Ziyu could not resist cupping Shuishui's face in his hands and lowering his head to kiss her.
Shentu Haolong could not be bothered with all that; he simply sought out Shen Xiuying, picked her up, and left. He certainly did not have that much time to waste.
Ren Qiqi's features tended toward delicacy and gentleness, but executing such a dashing and cool dance routine gave her an entirely unique and charming allure.
"I will give you two choices. If you choose to stay, you will transfer to the internal guard, and you can take over a portion of Uncle Yun's burden so he can finally get some rest. If you wish to leave, I will not stop you; take them and live a peaceful life. The money in here may not be much, but it is clean." Fang Ziqian said as he produced a bank card and handed it to him.
The host arranged the performances and subsequently requested the newly formed campus couples to put on a show—they could play musical instruments, sing, or simply improvise on the spot.
The sky was clear and bright; the great battle had drawn to a close. In the end, the Black Dragon Spear had proven slightly superior. Ning Wentian looked into his completely empty dantian and could not help letting out a soft sigh. Ah, the power of the spear technique was immense, but it was just far too extravagant with spiritual stones. Without a few thousand spiritual stones to make up for it, there was probably no way to mend the hollow in his dantian now.
After finishing this disciplinary report, Chu Shaoying smiled once more, confident that the stern teacher would never be able to discern the profound subtlety hidden within it.
Far away, the surviving elite of the Town Demon Division collectively breathed a sigh of relief, revealing the joy of having escaped death by the skin of their teeth, while simultaneously casting sympathetic glances toward Jiang Yuan.
Before such an almighty powerhouse, the more one spoke, the more flaws one would inevitably expose. "I heard you achieved Dao as a rogue cultivator?" the Calamity Demon Lord remarked casually.
Over there, the few remaining deformed ghosts had yet to turn into ashes because their bodies possessed too many entangled and fused limbs.
The vermillion copper twin whips violently lashed against Zhang Qi's protective barrier, blooming layer upon layer of ripples across the shield, yet failing to cause any substantive damage. This left Hong Tianlei panting heavily like an ox in sheer frustration.
Jiang Yuting's gaze darkened completely, looking as though it were clustered with sharp icicles. He swept a cold glance across everyone in the lobby, drew out his phone, and dialed Shen Jiaer's number. After ringing twice, the call was answered.
He mounted his bicycle and watched the sky gradually brighten, unable to suppress a flutter of excitement. Today, he would be heading to a new school and meeting new classmates, bringing a breath of fresh air to a heart that had long stagnated into a dead pool of water from lingering too long among familiar, old things.
"I'll go!" Qiu Zijun leaped off the carriage, pulled a guard down from his horse, and galloped away at breakneck speed.
Danyan deftly drew a handheld microphone from the pocket at the back of her skirt. As a dense sequence of drumbeats grew increasingly intense, the song arrived at her designated rap segment.
Boom! The water pillar tornado shattered violently, but unexpected changes arose instantaneously: countless golden talismans erupted outward, swiftly intertwining to form five talisman dragons. Circling around Wang Chen, they shattered the void in an instant, and five massive serpent heads burst forth through space simultaneously, slamming solidly into Wang Chen's body.
The Lin and Li families had no enmity with the Xu family, and with Li Qing mediating in the middle, the three families were now practically bound together as grasshoppers on the same vine. In contrast, the historically dominant Xiao family had been left out in the cold.
Perhaps the only person capable of speaking in such a manner to a high-ranking mage, a qualified mentor, and Ultear's mother was none other than myself.
The moment Kurumi Tokisaki launched her attack, Yin had already conceived a method to break free.
Therefore, she intended to speak with Shen Yeling right after he stepped down from the stage, making sure to extract a guarantee that he would rescue Miss Lou no matter what.
Upon this attire, known as the "Great Red Starry Sky," an entirely contrasting set of magic arrays was inscribed.
"Perhaps it was merely a promise made within a game, but he remembered it and strove to fulfill it. Tell me, could a person who values his word as much as gold possibly be an unforgivable villain?" Hall Master Sanyue's tone was calm, yet it pierced straight to the listener's heart and lungs.
Having finished giving her instructions, Hall Master Sanyue decisively turned and left. Fearing any further delays, she walked rather hurriedly, ultimately overtaking He Ziyan.
Now that her entire family had moved out, she would be able to have Zhang Changxin all to herself. As she cast her final parting glance at Shen Yeling outside the doorway, her eyes were filled entirely with the smug self-satisfaction of a victor.
Phoenix suddenly sensed a fierce gust of wind rushing from behind her. She abruptly halted her momentum, leaning sharply to the right to dodge Xiao Feng's flying kick, and retaliated with a brilliant left hook instead.
That night, Ye Jielin did not leave. Jiang Zhiyi initially offered stern and resolute refusals, but she was eventually hoodwinked by his upright demeanor into a state of half-doubt and half-willing compliance.
The speaker was Ouyang Mei. Noticing that everyone else was looking to her, she realized they had no ideas of their own and thus pinned their hopes on her military background. This was hardly surprising; in a place like Hua, soldiers still commanded deep trust in the hearts of ordinary citizens, particularly during such turbulent times.
