0104 Reluctant to Compete

Hu Xiaomei smiled at Yao Zhe after hearing this. "I knew you were the best, Brother Yao." She looked at him with gratitude. "Besides, I am still young. It is enough for me to cultivate by your side for now; I have no plans to go out."

Yao Zhe ruffled her hair. "If you were mischievous, I certainly wouldn't allow it. This is for your self-defense, though you are far from restless. You rarely venture further than the courtyard to bask in the sun. I sometimes wonder if you are a fox or a cat."

Although Li Mu had intervened, Zi Feng showed no signs of stopping. His gaze remained fixed on Wu Liang, burning with fury.

A figure streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning, accompanied by a series of violent roars as it lunged toward the Devouring Divine Beast.

By the time I noticed the change in my surroundings, the cave had begun to brighten. It was only then that I realized what I had been stepping on all this time were not branches, but rows of stark white bones.

The instructor scanned the room, noticing that the once formidable Zulong team now looked like frost-bitten eggplants—completely wilted.

Seeing Lan Hua's response, Xu You stopped pressing the matter and sat on the ground. Cao Cao, already seated, listened to their conversation. Seeing how engaged they were, he refrained from interrupting, waiting for them to finish before discussing official business.

Their marriage had originally been a private arrangement, only officially announced around the time of Linglong's birthday.

It takes a full day to fly from Kyoto to New York, meaning Cong Yi had one day to prepare.

I do not know when it happened, but the chair I had been sitting on was overturned. Zhou Xiaoxiao was pressing down on me, her face pale and her lips dry. Seeing me open my eyes, she asked, "Zhang Cheng, are you awake?"

For the longest time, she had been the only one struggling to hold on, waiting in silence—even though she was scorned by the world and knew full well that this was a path of no return with no end in sight. It was not for anything else; even she knew that winning his true love was perhaps a hundred times harder than the sun rising in the west.

Ma Yunlu rose and returned to her chamber. She shed her armor and lay down fully clothed, but sleep eluded her. She sighed, tried to clear her mind, and two tears rolled from the corners of her eyes before she finally drifted off after a moment.

Huang Xiang reached out his hand, but instinctively pulled it back just as he was about to touch Shi Yu. This left her feeling slightly awkward, but she quickly regained her composure and invited him to sit.

She noticed that Su Lin had remained silent since a moment ago and guessed that he had been frightened by her words, which inevitably led her to look down on him.

"She is a good girl. If she truly listened to her mother and parted ways with you, why insist on clinging to her?" the old man said, somewhat lost in thought.

In the T-category races, Yamaha and Honda have almost monopolized the top ten for the past few years.

"Didn't he say that if you can't think of anything, you should revoke your fan status?" Cha Cha said, not caring at all.

The eldest prince was used to being pampered by Lady Liu. Though he did not know where his own mother had gone, he saw that his stern stepmother was treating him so well that he seized the opportunity to cling to her, resorting to his usual spoiled antics.

"What's wrong with President Huo? Why isn't she moving?" White Dragon asked Green Dragon, looking puzzled.

Lu Zhiqiong had received word early on and specifically waited at the gate of the compound for her return. The couple looked at each other in silence.

After talking for a while, Concubine Chu prepared to leave. Ouyang Ruo hurried to see her to the courtyard gate before turning back.

"Do you think we'll be scolded for entering the city dressed like this?" A-Xue whispered to Cha Cha, as if speaking to herself.

His son's death was a thorn in his heart. Over the years, no one had been qualified to bring it up in front of him.

Nearly a week later, the villagers finally dared to return to the village one by one. Once they had returned, both the government officials and the Taoist priests arrived in succession.
