The room was small and very dark, with only sparse rays of light spilling through the cracks of the windows on both sides.
Sensing that both his elder sister and the maid were looking at him, Xia Qiuling hurriedly lowered his gaze, gave an awkward smile, and said, "Sister, tidy up. I'll go ahead. The food is ready in the kitchen." With that, he fled as if escaping.
Although Aesop maintained his usual calm and breezy demeanor, Nordland, who was watching him closely, still caught a clue: the hand under the former's sleeve trembled involuntarily.
The moment the Sea of Despair vanished, he heard countless expressions of gratitude. Those sincere, heartfelt notes of thanks transformed into a warm, surging torrent that poured into his heart, leaving him speechless and choked with emotion.
With the fierce and predatory gaze of a hawk or wolf, every word uttered by Long Aotian struck Fang Baiyu like a giant hammer, shattering him to pieces.
Shaking his head helplessly, Nordland muttered to himself, isn't this Trosesis just a bit too foolish? However, since this was someone else's family affair, he found it difficult to probe too deeply.
A full moon hung high in the sky. Deep into the night, all was quiet, and the entire city was enveloped in a slumberous aura, peaceful and serene like a deeply sleeping child.
The situation was critical now. If those dark mages were not eliminated promptly, not only his own back garden, but even his harems might face mortal peril.
Shawn's punching momentum showed no signs of stopping. Just as everyone saw Soka's fist shattered, Shawn's punch pressed forward, following Soka who instinctively took a step back due to injury, and delivered a fatal blow straight to Soka's throat.
"Eh, Uncle, didn't you say you were going to take me to see the pretty grandma? Why are you starting a fight here?" Suddenly, a childish voice rang out nearby. Following the sound, I looked over to see a child of five or six years old poking his head out from the doorway, looking utterly adorable and naive.
"In your dreams! If you dare to do that, once I get out, I will definitely not spare you!" Lin Jiachun said angrily.

Indeed, she was personally trained by Lu Lianzhen—cold-blooded and ruthless, she naturally ought to resemble Lu Lianzhen. In the past, her thoughts were entirely consumed by Lu Lianzhen's teachings—and it was precisely because of those teachings that she was able to preserve her life and survive well.
"You want me to... treat you the same way I treat Yatong?" Wang Dabao pointed at himself. Seeing Xiao Mengfei nod, he confirmed he hadn't heard wrong and that this was genuinely her idea. A strange thought suddenly arose in his heart: could even this kind of thing be a subject of comparison?
The imperial harem of the Hu State was not as vast as that of the Great Chi, yet it was still frighteningly large inside.
"Fine! I agree to cooperate with you!" A flash of mockery and disdain crossed Thanatos's eyes. She planned to eventually send these people back to hell to toil as laborers for the rest of their lives.
"You can do it! But don't go too far; the people of Wa are innocent!" The old man said solemnly.
"Of course we have ships in Loulan. Besides, our Loulan Kingdom doesn't just have endless flying-sand deserts; we also have boundless lakes." Aygul retorted coquettishly, casting a dissatisfied glance at Li Longfei.
A week later, a special display counter at the Minnan International Animation Carnival was exceptionally bustling, capturing the attention of countless customers, especially anime fans.
At this moment, Empress Wei was draped in a golden-yellow yarn gown, the crossover lapels delicately embroidered with peonies in kesi silk, and her deep red chest wrap adorned with colorful embroidered twin lotus flowers. A luxurious gauze skirt trailed behind her, its edges patterned with ink-wash Manjusri orchids.
Self-reliant? Jiang Donghui was a bit bewildered. Being self-reliant surely didn't mean he had to cook all his own meals, right.
Amidst the murmurs and discussions of the entire crowd, having finally figured out Ye Yi's footwork after a round of pursuit, Ye Long came to a halt.
Ye Feng seemed to understand what was going on, and he reached out to grab his rib. This rib was a transverse bone in Ye Feng's abdomen, which, having been bathed in celestial spiritual Qi for years, was long no longer ordinary.

Thus, the timing was just right for Ye Feng. With the upgrade of the golden disk, his plans gained even more ample time and certainty.
Feeling the wind-fall crystal placed right before his glabella, the corners of Ye Yi's lips twitched upward before he closed his eyes. Operating his cultivation technique, he began to sense the energy within the wind-fall crystal.
In Jiang Donghui's mind, that general outline of the cultivation technique refused to fade away; it was imprinted in his soul just like the Dragon Prison Bloodline Art.
The silver ring flickered on and off for a moment before turning into a streak of light that returned to Yin Rumo's body. Seeing her silver ring knocked back, the panic on the latter's face grew even more flustered.
The man in green robes, mockingly dubbed the 'poor scholar,' blushed fiercely from the crowd's ridicule. His lips parted slightly, but not knowing what to say, he could only lower his head powerlessly.
Having had previous experience, extracting the next two arrows was relatively easier. Fortunately, plenty of hemostatic pills had been prepared, which proved useful at a critical moment. Once all three large wounds on Qi Yao's chest were dressed with the pills, Ah Jiu personally bandaged the wounds for him.
"Alright!" Jinjia responded, walking backward. His gaze remained fixed on the lesser dragon, a clear look of curiosity on his face. Having lived this long, Jinjia had never seen such a massive creature, let alone a lesser dragon.
