Bamboo Horse's Wish (21)

Shen Wang lowered his head to stroke her hand, smiling silently as if her hand were the entirety of his affections, treating it as the most precious thing in the world.

The condition for their three-year secret marriage had been proposed by her. Initially, she had planned to fly far away once the time was up, putting vast distances between them. Now, however, even she was no longer certain.

"Oh, enough about clothes, let's just go to sleep." Qu You scrunched her neck up like a turtle, pulling the brocade quilt all the way up to her nose, revealing only a pair of clear, watery eyes as she gazed pitifully at Chu Yu.

After taking a shower in the bathroom and putting on a sexy nightgown, Han Jiaying climbed into bed and tightly embraced Mo Yitian.

"Indeed! Yuan'er is so sensible, and Brother Yu has even promised to let me visit the Prince's Mansion more often in the future to keep the Princess Sister-in-law company!" Chu Yuan's tone was full of smug self-satisfaction, causing everyone who heard it to chuckle involuntarily.

Ah Lang understood. With a muffled howl, he signified his agreement. That single, piercing howl made the subordinates following behind Zhou Buhan feel their scalps go numb and the hair on their bodies stand on end, though Zhou Buhan remained completely unmoving.

Bai Liufeng was suddenly startled. Mother Li had said she hadn't seen Bai Zhi leave through the front gate, so Bai Liufeng had Liu Lian check the surveillance footage. Since the ground floor was a clinic equipped with security cameras, they easily spotted Bai Zhi's figure on the recordings.

Regarding shipbuilding, some regions had even developed supporting industrial chains, featuring workshops that sold timber, iron nails, ropes, tung oil, and more.

After walking a few meters, the entrance to the secret passage was sealed shut. A massive, rumbling sound echoed through the space, stirring up billows of dust and smoke.

Before stuffing the pill into Ruoshui's mouth, Physician Li still chose to ask Chuan Xiu for instructions once more.

Wei Xian naturally wouldn't feel nervous just because he was visiting an upscale establishment for the first time. Perhaps he might have felt nervous in the past, given the panic of having no money in his pockets. But now, even though he still lacked money, he wouldn't panic no matter where he went. As a red-packet binder, who in the realm of Xiyong could possibly claim to be a cut above him?

Gathering genuine Qi fiercely in his palm, he realized it was already too late—Elder Ji had somehow already drawn close to the breach in the barrier.

"Wine." Wei Xian had pondered this before coming; Big Brother Cui must have summoned him because of that truckload of crates. The Su brothers were hanging around making a living under Big Brother Cui's clan, so they certainly wouldn't have kept secrets from him.

A wild sacrifice was an un-ordained magistrate. Regardless of how he had seized the "position," the prerequisite was that he must have undergone "ascension"—meaning he inevitably belonged to a functionary who had fled from the ordered planes.

Alice then roughly translated what had just been said to Lu Yu, whose brow furrowed tightly as he struck a nearby tree with a heavy blow.

Seeing that Qi Yu had no intention of answering, Feng Chuixue suppressed her somewhat restless emotions, took a deep breath, and tried not to dwell on the question. She certainly didn't want to lose the upper hand in front of Qi Yu and refused to let this fellow feel triumphant, she thought to herself.

"You managed to break through in the midst of a crisis? Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, with such high comprehension—truly worthy of a Skywalker." Zhou Kehan offered a word of praise, yet his expression remained indifferent as he raised his hand once more, shooting out ten golden feathers.

Having persuaded herself, Feng Chuixue veered away from her original route and hurried back, hoping to return ahead of these people.

Hearing Jiang Bieli's words, An Jiuyou and Mu Qingye exchanged a glance, then immediately retreated and flew downward.

Following that, Qiu Chuji looked upward along that fiery red palm and spotted a human figure wreathed in curling flames. As he looked at the flaming figure, the figure grinned back at him, revealing an expression of utter, chilling evil.

The expression on Huoxingzi's face instantly drained of color, turning frighteningly pale. Facing Ye Tian's transformation into a dragon head-on, he felt as though he were confronting a supreme emperor. His body trembled, and the fire tablet he had conjured shook violently, as if it might shatter to pieces at any moment.

Ye Heng nodded slightly, took one of the bags, tossed it to Feng Yihuan, and drove away.

Hearing this, I nodded, but I hadn't expected the clan elder's single sentence to plunge me instantly into a bottomless, icy abyss. He was right—where on earth could one find such a long rope?

She didn't care to ponder it further; it seemed her second brother truly favored Chu Ling, which was why he loved bringing her along wherever he went.

The snake clearly had never encountered such a ferocious piece of prey, and for a moment, it froze in place without attacking.

Upon hearing him say this, Gu Mingzhu walked over, rolled up her sleeves, and brought out the vegetables she had harvested.

Thus, one could see that although the humans in the mystic realm were undergoing trials, gathering spirit herbs, and slaying demonic beasts, their directions all converged instinctively toward the direction of the divine temple.

Xiyue stood in place, her palm snapping upward. A flash of lightning streaked past, and before anyone could clearly process what had happened, Xue Jing had already been blasted flying away.

Empress Dowager Yu's maternal family consisted of only one brother and one sister-in-law. The sister-in-law and the imperial sister maintained an extremely close relationship. Therefore, even though Madam Yu uttered words that could be considered treasonous, Empress Dowager Yu was not angry at all; instead, she pondered carefully on the underlying meaning of those words.

Moreover, after An Zee looked carefully and checked himself, his phone, keys, and wallet were all completely present. It was said that when the police arrived, his utterly ordinary bicycle was still there as well, though the basket filled with food was gone.

Don't ask him how he knew that was a gang member rather than a mere passerby; the aura carried by someone who had killed people was entirely different from that of an ordinary person like the one beside him, An Zee.
