Volume One, Chapter 27: The Emperor Seeks Aid!

Originally, it was thought that the two had come merely to seek benefits, but no one expected the things they brought to be so enticing. Ye Rou’s lips twitched slightly, and she looked at Qin Tianming with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

In Qiuyu’s view, poison was the most delicious thing of all, even more so than humans, for she was descended from a poison dragon, the new generation’s sovereign of toxins.

Exploring this would be somewhat troublesome, as the Great Green Plains and this world exist on different planes; in other words, Luo Chen would need to travel there by carriage.

Chen’s gaze gradually became hazy, yet a refreshing coolness emanated from his chest—“Tianxin” sensed danger and began to operate automatically. Some memories grew distant and blurred, while others became ever clearer.

How could one even begin to speak of these matters? Upon hearing that Luo Chen intended to establish a divine nation, Nantian thought it would trigger a reshuffling among the great powers. Though the church possessed such strength, to proceed in this way would be far too frivolous.

Almost at the instant this drop of blood—true essence from the orthodox three-eyed demon lineage—drew near, the Gate of Bones suddenly emitted countless pale rays.

It seemed this family must be divided; otherwise, this brood of vampires would surely be the death of them.

Arriving at the roadside, he took out a few pieces of silver and gave them to the beggars nearby, instructing them to follow Qiu Chunhua and Qiu Youqian and report any developments to him immediately.

As for the rest, in terms of technology, eradicating locusts outright was simply beyond the current level of science.

Only then did I understand that Senior Brother Xuanxin had always been quietly helping me. In that moment, for reasons unknown, tears uncontrollably spilled from my eyes—tears that, for the first time, revealed gratitude, reluctance, and guilt.

Returning home, lying in bed, my mind was awash with thoughts. It was another complex night for me; after Lin Xi made a pivotal life choice, my own turning point was imminent. Tomorrow, the new acting general manager of the Buick Nantong dealership would be announced. Who would it be?

From high above, the members of the Great Yan Guild numbered in the tens of thousands, encircling the valley entrance so tightly that not even a fly could slip through, much less any members of the Cangyun Guild inside.

Qin Long feigned composure, acting as if nothing were amiss as he walked to the trunk, pretending to open it. At that moment, the two companions of the crew-cut man moved to flank him.

Baozhu leaned by the window, watching as three or five burly men soon arrived in the courtyard, each taking up position at the base of the wall. Her heart grew heavier; by now, her visit to the Xia residence had truly chilled her.

“He betrayed me.” Mo Han’s voice was soft, but it was clear she had not forgiven the betrayal.

How many times today had she heard the word “kindness”? Looking at the earnest face of Yuan Dong, Qing’er wanted to leave. She truly lacked nothing, especially silver; if money could solve the problem, she was more than willing to help, extending a hand without hesitation.

Seeing that the fierce ghosts were about to break free from the Soul Summoning Banner’s control, the situation reached its most critical point. Yuan Shuai activated the formation, using the yin node to lure the spirits onto the path of the underworld.

“Let’s go meet them,” Bingfeng said mildly. “They’re all national leaders; we shouldn’t let them lose face too badly.”

Mentioning Second Aunt, Baozhu’s earlier good mood suddenly grew gloomy. Jide saw her troubled face and wanted to take her outside for a stroll, but she shook her head, saying her eldest brother would arrive soon and she needed to hurry back after speaking with him.

This incident came about so suddenly that he had no time to prepare. It seemed he would have to enter the Heavenly Prison this time. Zhu Wushi had already made up his mind; he did not hold much hope that the Four Secret Agents could find Gu Santong.

After Liu Sun finished cooking dinner, she insisted Liu Shancao eat at her house, but no matter how she tried, he refused and returned home amid her many thanks.

Thus, after Liu Shancao and Cui Shun’s illicit affair, Cui Shun’s mother was furious with Liu Shancao. Their relationship was against propriety, and if word spread, it would damage Cui Shun’s reputation.

Inside the room, whether it be the dressing table, wardrobe, or bed, all were made of fine wood, complemented by European-style carvings.

“And another thing: what happened today, you mustn’t tell anyone—not even your mother. If she asks, just say you tripped and fell.”

“Perhaps the devouring vortex is not yet fully formed. As its power grows…perhaps one day I’ll have hopes of entering it,” Qin Mo thought to himself.

Upon hearing Sun Buqi’s “order,” Qin Mengyao silently removed her headphones and turned off her game.

The conditions for applying for a beta account were extremely stringent, requiring a vast amount of user information and documentation. When accounts were first issued, over 300,000 Blizzard fans applied within days.

As soon as Wang Erhei spoke, the bound robbers all struggled desperately, unwilling to accept their fate before death.

Kao Shan Village had three wells: one at the east end, one at the west, and one in the courtyard of Shaoli’s family.

Sui Yi was not accustomed to her poverty, but kindness was her principle. Yet if others caused trouble, she would never endure it silently.

It was all a matter of weighing pros and cons. Zheng Xiuying spoke little in the Chu household and appeared honest, never vying for power or profit.
