"No... I don't believe it... He wouldn't treat me like this..."
Xu Qian muttered to herself, violently pulling out the infusion needle from the back of her hand, causing bright red beads of blood to instantly ooze from the puncture wound.
The sharp pain in her abdomen and the stinging sensation in her hand made cold sweat pour down her, but she completely disregarded them at the moment.
Throwing off the blanket, she stumbled out of the hospital bed, without even taking the time to put on her shoes properly, and rushed out of the hospital ward like a madwoman toward the main entrance of the hospital.
Luo Fei met Qin Shou at the main gate of the Prince of Shunan's Mansion. He seemed to have anticipated that Luo Fei would come to see for herself, and thus was dressed in neat, narrow-sleeved, diagonal-collared attire, looking quite spirited.
Her aggrieved tears dripped down, one by one, sliding along her cheeks and falling onto the carpet. She raised her eyes, staring hard at the ceiling, trying to force the tears back. She told herself: Don't cry, you cannot cry, do not cry.
"I don't believe it!" How could that be? Perhaps he occasionally slept at the company; Shen Muchen must have had other places.
After finishing all this, I still found it impossible to sleep, so I could only lie down on my side, facing Yu Minghui, keeping my eyes open and gazing continuously at his sleeping face.
Once the snake meat was ready, Qi Chisu handed it to Da and Yu. Seeing that neither of them ate, Qi Chisu ate first. This snake was non-toxic and could be eaten safely.
Dressed in silver-gray soft armor, mounting his warhorse, and grasping a nine-curved long spear, Qin Shou naturally had no inkling of Luo Fei's intentions. His gaze was sharp, and the streak of cinnabar between his eyebrows appeared even redder than blood before the impending slaughter.
"Is this a private matter of ours that you also require your assistant to listen to?" You Biqing raised an eyebrow and retorted.
She reached out, wanting to cover a card that she had clipped onto the glass with a magnetic piece, but the very moment she extended her hand, I had already glimpsed the contents written on that card.
I intentionally dragged out the sound of those final two words, making what I said sound like playful flirting during a casual act, rather than an unreasonable, fiercely hostile brawl between mortal enemies meeting face to face.
Though he appeared bulky in build, his entire body emanated the majestic presence of a mountain, as if ordinary people could not easily push him over.
"Also, Han Min used to be very close to Yang Qing, but for some unknown reason, they suddenly stopped being so close later on, and it seemed to be Yang Qing's decision," Su Yang continued, and no one indicated that he should stop.

Gu Ningshuang understood the moment she heard those words that Yelu Yunhuang had intended from the very beginning to disrupt the landscape of the powerful elite families in the southern region of the Dongxia Kingdom.
He was someone capable of revitalizing the Yelu family, but they had no need for such a person to emerge within the family; what they wanted was someone obedient and easily controllable by them.
There always seemed to be countless memories concerning him hidden deep within her eyes. Every time he met that clear gaze brimming with memories, it would invariably cause his heart to soften involuntarily.
Wu Lei knocked on Jiang Xu's office door with a dejected expression. Jiang Xu glanced at the time displayed on his phone on the desk, knowing full well who it was since it was already long past closing time.
Chang Shuhua wore a look of utter terror. The opponent's offensive power was actually this formidable; the two of them were clearly in the exact same tier, yet the gap in strength was so vast.
Yet, current-day herself was unable to utter a single word of refusal and could only slowly swallow these dishes into her stomach.
The three of them argued endlessly, leaving Pi Lizhi with no choice but to adjourn the meeting. Since they were not truly Pi Lizhi's subordinates, they naturally were not subject to her command. This chaotic war of words felt highly unfamiliar to Pi Lizhi, who had long been accustomed to barking orders.
After all, back when Zi Wan'er's true nature was still unknown during the competition among the four major academies in Donghua City, she had met Zi Wan'er, who had put on a helpless act.
"Sun Feng, um... isn't it ready yet?" Meng Ruoping suddenly asked softly, her voice uncharacteristically quiet, with her tone betraying a trace of fear and unease.
As for the space from the beginning of the tunnel all the way into the cavern, it looked as though it had been randomly battered out with blunt instruments; the rock walls of the tunnel and cavern were uneven, with sharp protrusions scattered in some places.
Finally, there was the trickiest approach—the one that consumed the least energy yet carried the highest risk: guiding lightning into the earth. According to Mu Weiwei, such heaven-defying operations were something she had only ever seen Lei Datong successfully execute once in her entire life.
Shang Qing let out a fierce roar, several crystal-blue spell rune elemental forces revolving around his body. These elemental forces transformed into thread-like swimming fish and shot into the ocean one after another.
As soon as Li Yu stepped out of the spatial dimension, he saw Li Xiuning sitting on the living room sofa, glaring at him with her beautiful eyes wide open. Ignoring that murderous gaze, Li Yu sat down squarely on the sofa like a grand general.
Xie Yucheng arrived at the office, casting nervous glances around him, and breathed a deep sigh of relief upon discovering that his mother had already left.
Lorrain didn't mind this situation, because ever since awakening his magical talent, he had only ever met one magician named Nina. Even upon discovering differences between this purple-haired youth and Nina, he didn't feel anything was amiss.

What curse divine power, what illusion divine power—everything surpassed the limits of her capabilities. She could only crack soul-harming power; she could only decipher soul-harming power. Watching Wang Ling being toyed with by Daotian, her heart ached as if it were breaking, yet she was utterly powerless, completely helpless.
Wang Shier led his massive army back, and the moment he entered the tent, he smashed everything inside to pieces. Damned Xuanyan, damned Shen Lian, and those damned deputy commanders—they were all opposing him. If the commander-in-chief weren't absent, they wouldn't dare to be so insolent.
That intimate endearment "wife" reached Feng Ling's ears; though spoken silently, it still filled Feng Ling's heart with sweetness, and she instantly forgot about Wang Ling's earlier slip of the tongue.
After the meal, the two bid farewell, and Zhou Fan took his accumulated ten taels of silver to visit Prefect Gao Mingyu at the prefectural government office. Arriving at the yamen and meeting the doorman, he presented his calling card, stating clearly that he was a fellow townsman of Prefect Gao.
As for the Management Bureau, Gu Junting also made an immediate promise on the spot, stating that they would dispatch four major divisions and mobilize a force of ten thousand Psionic-level core-energy wielders to assist in all operations of the Salvation Army.
Zhangsun Yunshao's archaic style of speaking caused Yu Kexin to purse her lips in a smile, while Erika Katsuta was left equally amused and speechless.
Although the money she possessed was startup capital given to her by Ye Xiaotian, it would be an absolute pity not to make full use of such a wonderful opportunity to rake in cash right before her eyes. If she made a massive fortune, wouldn't she be able to just pay Ye Xiaotian back?
"That's your affair! We have no such rules in Dawan," Murong Xue said dismissively.
That very day, Hong Baolin dispatched his subordinate with the strongest intelligence-gathering network to the East Sea to investigate the Yama behind Ye Ning.
Compared to the Underworld of Yama, the Underworld Palace appeared vastly more magnificent and imposing. Furthermore, surrounding the Underworld Palace were numerous other palaces that stood like satellite cities, guarding the periphery of the Underworld Palace.
"He is not my imperial father's flesh and blood! It is only because my imperial father was so deeply infatuated with the empress that he remained blind to it all this time. Even after he ordered my imperial brother's execution, he still could not bring himself to blame his empress!" Murong Yunhai's gaze dimmed.
