Great Uncle has discerning eyes like torches.

Xie Yihuang was taken aback. "Great-second-uncle, do I look like someone nobody loves?" With that, she puffed out her cheeks, wearing an expression that seemed to say she was angry.

The great-second-uncle took out his tobacco pipe. Xie Yihuang stepped forward, directly moved his pipe aside, took out a cigarette holder from a nearby side table drawer, and handed it to him—this was something she had bought and given to him the last time she went to the Imperial Capital. She then unwrapped the pack of Black Bear cigarettes. "You have good cigarettes yet you insist on smoking coarse tobacco leaves. At least be a bit kinder to yourself."

"Money, oh money..."

Shan Tulan drove the vehicle, while I sat in the front with Elder Qiu, discussing the location of the tomb. The others sat in the back, chatting idly about this and that.

Hearing Lu Ji's reply, the first host was momentarily stunned. His gaze hovered between Shen Ning and Lu Ji, a trace of mischief flashing across his face.

For some reason, while Lin Shiyi was here, he only wanted her to leave quickly. But once she truly left, a hollow emptiness gripped his heart, as if something vital was missing.

The ocean waves crashed against the reefs, alternating between gentleness and ferocity. A sea breeze swept past, carrying the salty moisture and chill of the air.

"Has your brain gone soft from being locked up! Our spiritual energy is sealed right now, making us no different from ordinary mortals. How long are we supposed to hack at this iron chain pillar? Stop daydreaming." Zhang San felt this method was unfeasible and prepared to sit back down.

These cold crystal stones might originally have been just ordinary rocks, but this place was locked in ice and snow year-round, and they were surrounded by snow spirit trees.

This instantly earned Gu Ruoxi a cold glare, which frightened the maid so much her face turned pale, and her movements grew noticeably gentler.

The tree shade obscured his features, making them blurry and indistinct. A gentle breeze lifted the hem of his robe, giving him a transcendent air, as if he were drifting away from the mortal world.

Shen Qian, who still wanted to talk to Shen Ning but ended up losing even the dog: "?? Does anyone perhaps still remember me?"

Glancing back behind her to ensure no one else was nearby, she pressed her lips together and hastily tried to persuade him in a low, submissive tone.

The first sentence: Endure. No matter what happens, if you truly care for the Dayu Kingdom, do not go out. If you cannot bear it, ask yourself why in your heart.

The best approach in such a situation was for everyone to pretend they knew nothing and gloss it over. Yet Zhu Lingbo offered such a formal apology instead. Whether he was deliberately teasing Xu You or testing his quick wit, given the present circumstances, no matter how Xu You responded, it would seem inappropriate.

There is no inherent connection between noble families and committing misdeeds, but the aristocratic clans of the current era generally cherish their reputations and would not easily break the law, let alone engage in atrocities like abducting people. From a statistical standpoint, their probability of committing crimes is indeed lower than that of ordinary people.

At this point, Lu Yu could no longer continue. He stared blankly at the dense forest five miles east of the city, his expression turning increasingly bizarre.

Did she have to be this ruthless! Wang Jing was secretly startled, and hurriedly twisted his body to dodge Murong Ningxue's cold kick. Then, grabbing his military dagger, he gave it a hard yank, causing Murong Ningxue to involuntarily tumble directly into Wang Jing's embrace.

However, on the martial arena of Donghai University, all six vicious experts surrounding Lu Xun, including that half-immortal, knelt simultaneously upon the stage.

"Military commander, there is no need to be overly pessimistic. With your cultivation and talent, in such a vast world, where can you not go?" Xu You consoled.

"Are you kidding me? I am your brother-in-law!" Wang Jing took a deep breath, banishing the distracting thoughts in his heart.

Though it had only integrated a little over threefold of his own Dao principles, his strength once again surpassed Luo Hao by a margin.

Upon entering the venue, Yang Bo arranged everything neatly before sitting down alongside Liu Liangyu.

Mo Yuqi was slightly startled upon hearing this, her exceptionally beautiful face instantly flushing with a rosy hue. Glaring reproachfully at Wei Feng, she said, "You mean you want me to strip bare as well? Hehe, that will depend entirely on your ability."

Quan Yinxiang said, "Yes." In a split second, she suddenly felt an overwhelming wave of exhaustion wash over her. Taking a few steps away, she lay down on the sofa, and in less than half a minute, she was already fast asleep. Her manager walked over with a blanket, draped it gently over her, and stood staring blankly at her.
