Volume One, Chapter 44: She Really Became His Sister-in-law...

Bo Xingzhou took the cup, his fingertips brushing lightly against hers, a fleeting chill in the contact.

At the very same moment, in a large arcade in Liaoxian, Zhi Qiang, who was sitting in his office sipping tea, received a call from a mysterious middle-aged man.

Hermione’s mood was abruptly interrupted. She blinked in confusion, but was quickly pulled back to herself by Robert’s tug.

In these days, families had many children, and it was commonplace for parents to discipline their mischievous offspring—sometimes with a gentle hand, sometimes with a heavy one.

Hearing Xiao Baozhu’s words, Song Bao’er’s face changed; anxiety welled within her as she wondered whether that fool Jonas had managed to tear up or discard the calculation sheet.

The Thunder Beast’s consciousness was utterly stunned by the surrounding scenery; it was a world apart from the place it had known.

Algabi was a shrewd man. Knowing Chen Fei must have something important to report, he prepared to excuse himself from the command center with a casual pretext.

On closer inspection, it was an intercontinental missile bearing the insignia of the Dragon Nation, aimed precisely at that colossal fragment of super-stellar body hovering above the Himalayas.

After all, during the last national celebration, the festivities were about to begin, yet Su Ye was still sequestered in the laboratory.

The Tiger-Dragon Bone Strengthening Pill was a highly advanced ancient elixir, coveted even by masters at the Golden Core or Soul Refinement stages. Yet the ingredients required were so rare that even those mighty cultivators struggled to gather them all.

The reason the first generation of giants were so formidable lay in the slow accumulation of years, where quantity eventually transformed into quality. This was why they surpassed even the eternal titans in power.

It was precisely this fear that made him worry about losing his master’s affection, believing someone else might steal it away, and then the master would no longer care for him as before.

Yang Feng was taken aback—an immortal? He knew he was not; he was merely a practitioner who had gained a little power.

Whenever she thought of this, Wanru’s cheeks flushed with shyness, her large, luminous eyes sparkling. At such moments, her heart longed to see Yinzhen, to be with him, but since he had to attend the Ministry of Revenue each day, he could not always accompany her.

It was common knowledge that Torres was now a key prospect for Atlético Madrid. If he were injured, the club would be devastated.

After beating up Hong Renxing, the young master, his father would surely step in to seek justice for him. Even if the father didn’t, the next group he brought would be far stronger than this one.

Beside him stood a tall zombie wearing a cowboy hat, who shifted his gaze from Wanyu’s face to his own hands, his dull, lifeless expression filled with confusion.

No one knew how much time had passed before the person who’d been thrown to the ground slowly, ever so slowly, lifted his head. Blood trickled from both nostrils, his face flushed a deep purple, and his delicate, handsome features twisted in pain.

Fulin was stunned. He hadn’t realized when Duoduo and Ajige had stopped siding with him. The abilities of Emperor Taiji were truly beyond comprehension.

“Doudou? Forget about the city files for now. A few days’ delay doesn’t matter—come back first,” Luo Ze said helplessly.

Because of the commotion caused back then, the area was now cordoned off by the police. Yet, thanks to the Lu family’s influence, not a word had reached the media outside.

Apart from the flagship, the other warships were so deeply laden they were on the verge of capsizing, and the weather did not favor Liu Bian’s forces, as a north wind was blowing.
